The Mamas and the Papas song runs through my mind as I drive east on I-84 through the Columbia Gorge looking for subjects to frame up in the viewfinder of the Nikon D300s I am reviewing. While there are still a few hardy leaves clinging to branches, most have fallen to the ground covering it in a lovely carpet of orange and yellow…

Multnomah Falls was running at springtime capacity…

The combination of the remaining color and the raging falls made it worth a quick stop…

Last year Frank & I remodeled our bathroom and I kept you all up to date on our progress right up until the end when I failed to post the finished project leaving all my devoted readers hanging. Every time I’m at a conference or workshop someone comes up to me and asks how the bathroom turned out…so, here is the final shot of the bathroom project.

* I had to use my 16mm fisheye to get a wide perspective on a small space. I then took the distorted image into Capture NX2 using the fisheye correction feature and “viola!”…a corrected, extreme wide angle view! Just one of many very cool features in Capture NX2!!!

That’s what I call my upcoming Iceland Adventure with Focus on Nature where I have the opportunity to not only photograph the amazing landscape of Iceland, I have the opportunity to feed and nuture the passion of twelve photographers helping them to grow and bloom in their photographic journey. Group size is limited so sign up early!
