Fall color along the North Fork of the American River, Auburn, California. This image was developed using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2.
Wow. It’s true. The older you get the faster time flies. I can’t believe it’s been two weeks, since I posted my last Top 10 Lightroom Tweets of the Week post!
Last week, Adobe Photoshop announced their Beta version of Lightroom 3. I haven’t had a chance to try it yet, but a lot of folks have and they have been tweeting about it – A LOT! [click to continue…]

Adobe has just announced their Beta version of Photoshop Lightroom 3.
The good news is spreading like wildfire throughout the Twitter and facebook communities. I’m going to keep that wildfire going, by posting the news here as well.
If you have been wanting to try Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, but haven’t had the jingle in your jeans, now is your golden opportunity. [click to continue…]

I’m putting up a couple more photos from our recent rafting trip on the Middle Fork of the American River, with our friend Donna (former Professional Raft Guide) and her 4-year old daughter Maya. I hope they like them!
About the photos
These photos were developed using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2. Writing this post each week is two fold. I can share a wealth of Lightroom tips with you and I can also share one or more of my images, that I have developed using Lightroom.
Would you like to know what I did in Lightroom to improve these original images? If so, feel free to ask in the comments section below.
OK all of you Lightroomers. Here are your Top 10 Lightroom Tweets of the Week in random order. Happy Lightrooming! [click to continue…]

Yesterday was awesome! Jeff & I had the great opportunity to raft the Middle Fork of the American River (between Driver’s Flat and Mammoth Bar), with our friend Donna and her 4-year old daughter Maya.
This section of the the American River doesn’t draw the hoards of tourists from the Bay Area and LA like the South Fork does. There are a few reasons why. For one thing, it is only 7-miles in length. It also consists of only Class I & II rapids. Lastly, not many know about this run, which is why we love it so much. Now, I know after writing this a few more people will know about it. But, hey, if I don’t write about it someone else will. It may as well be me! [click to continue…]

This image was captured just a little further downstream from the photo of the rocks I posted a couple of days ago. It will be available for purchase as a fine art print soon!

Jeff & Cocoa cooling off in the North Fork of the American River, Auburn, California. I think I shall title this photo “Rear View!”
While down at the river Monday evening, I couldn’t resist capturing these two wading in this little kiddie pool. In particular, I wanted to get a unique composition of them!

“River of Gold,” Confluence of the American River, Auburn, California.
This is another one of my favorite images, from our photo shoot down at the Confluence of the American River on Monday.
I’m keeping this really short. The main reason for this post is to try out “NetworkedBlogs.” As soon as I hit the “publish” button on this blog post, it is suppose to post directly to my Facebook page.
Let’s see if it works!

American River Rock Art, otherwise known as “Cairn,” Confluence of the American River, Auburn, California.
This image of the stack of rocks was taken on Monday, during our “Dine & Dip” down at the American River.
To escape from the heat after several days in a row of triple digit temps, we decided to take our dinner to the river. Following dinner was a very refreshing and welcomed dip in the crystal clear North Fork of the American River. I think this could become a weekly habit! [click to continue…]
Backlit spider webs covered with dew, Auburn, California.
One fall morning while on a hike, I found these webs all lit up beautifully with backlighting and covered with dew.
Why this photo makes me say WOW!
I hope you keep your eyes wide-open next time you are out and about with your camera. You just never know what you might stumble upon!

Woman running with her dogs across the famous “No Hands Bridge” in Auburn, California.
I chose to feature this photo in my “Wednesday’s WOW” post for a couple of reasons.
First of all, I really like it and secondly the annual Western States 100 Endurance Run is coming up June 27-28. If you have never heard of this race, it is a 100-mile foot race which starts in Squaw Valley, California and winds up in Auburn, California 100-miles later. The participants of this race will cross No Hands Bridge minutes before reaching the finish line at Placer High School. NOTE: This bridge is in both El Dorado and Placer counties.
