I am really excited to announce my upcoming interview next week on Monday August 4th, with Professional Photographer and Writer Richard Wong. You can check it out on his new Blog Fieldnotes: The Non-Glamorous Side of Photography.
 
Richard has developed one of the best Photography Business Blogs on the Internet. Included on his Blog is information about the photography industry, marketing and digital imaging workflow tips, photographer resource links and more.

The best part about Richard’s Blog is that you can find just about all the information you need to start a new Photography Business, or build upon an existing one, all in one place! 

I hope you find this new “All-in-one” Fieldnotes: The Non-Glamorous Side of Photography Photo Business Blog helpful and you will let as many other photographer’s know about it as possible.

Happy Reading,

Sherri

Duck Island

Lone duck at Ashford Park, Auburn, California

Every time Jeff, Cocoa (our dog) and I go to the Ashley Memorial Dog Park, we can’t help but notice the lone resident duck, at nearby Ashford Park.

When he is not being fed by visitors of the park, you can usually find him on his own private island. 

Family Time at Ashford Park

Ashford Park, Auburn, California

Jeff & Cocoa, Ashford Park, Auburn, California

Ashford Park is located in front of the Ashley Memorial Dog Park, on Auburn Ravine Road. It has a nice lawn area, picnic tables, BBQ’s, playground, seasonal creek, pond, one lone duck and an area you can rent for parties, for a very nominal fee.

After we spend an hour or so at the dog park, we like to visit this spot. During the late afternoon, the light here is what photographer’s refer to as “golden light,” or “sweet light.”

It’s the perfect time to capture a few “lifestyle” images of Jeff and Cocoa that will be added to our Lifestyles Stock Photo Gallery.

Ashley Memorial Dog Park

Doggone good times at Ashley Memorial Dog Park, Auburn, California

If you haven’t heard by now, there is a new dog park in town. Finally!

This park has only been open a few weeks and already there are dozens of regular visitors. Some folks and their canine companions visit there nearly every day. [click to continue…]

Lower North Fork of the American River, Auburn, California, as seen from our hike on the Western States Trail.

This photo of the American River was taken during our recent location scouting trip down in the American River Confluence area. Jeff and I had gone down there to see if anyone was rafting or kayaking the recently opened “Auburn Run.” [click to continue…]

A Different Perspective

The famous and historic “No Hands Bridge,” Auburn, California

While on a hike and location scouting trip recently down in the American River Canyon, I took this shot of the famous “No Hands Bridge.”  

I have photographed this bridge a few times, but not from this perspective. I really like the unique angle of view and the way the bridge is reflected in the American River.

This photo will be available in our Auburn Stock Photo Gallery soon, along with this photo of No Hands Bridge.

 

Daylily Finale

by Sherri on July 11, 2008

My favorite Daylily without using “Poster Edges”

Apparently, Daylilies are very hearty plants. They have managed to survive and thrive in the horrible smoky conditions we have been having for the past 18 days.

For my Daylily finale, I decided to show what this photo looks like before applying my favorite creative filter “Poster Edges,” then showing what the same photo looks like after I apply the filter. This is also the same Daylily plant I featured a few days ago.

 
After applying “Poster Edges”

You can see that the filter darkens the background and gives it a totally different look.

I hope you have enjoyed my Daylily series. Feel free to comment on which one of these two versions you like best. 

Have a great weekend!

Up in Smoke

by Sherri on July 9, 2008

Our neighborhood in Auburn, California

For 17 days now, this is what it has looked like around here. The forest fires currently burning about 30-miles or so from Auburn near Foresthill (in Placer County), were just ranked #1 in the nation. [click to continue…]
