Blue Lake Shoreline, Modoc National Forest, California
Some of you have been reading our Photo Blog during the last couple of weeks, during our Northeastern California Road Trip.
We are now back home in Auburn. Last night, we completed a 1150-mile loop, covering some of the most beautiful and less traveled to areas of Northern California.
We had a great trip, but as always, it’s good to be home! We returned with lots of photos and now the fun (I mean the not-so-glamorous work) begins. Our images will get organized into folders, edited, keyworded, captioned and the list goes on.
Over the next few weeks, we will also be posting many more photos from our road trip. So, please be sure to check back often to see what’s new.
Morning walk in rural Auburn, California
In my recent post “Exciting News,” I mentioned my upcoming interview with Professional Photographer and Writer Richard Wong.
It is now live and you can check it out over at Fieldnotes: The Non-Glamorous Side of Photography.
About the photo: This is another shot taken with my new 12-24mm super wide-angle Tokina lens.
While out for a morning walk recently, I did a little experimenting with my new super wide-angle lens. My goal was to shoot photos using a unique perspective, that would illustrate “walking for fitness.”  For this one, I also left plenty of empty space on the left for text. I was very pleased with the results.
Out of the couple of dozen or so frames I took during this shoot, I will probably keep about 25% of them. This one was one of my favorites.

Our living room shot with my new Tokina 12-24mm super wide-angle lens.
Wow! Our living room never looked so big! This was the first photo taken with my new super wide- angle lens. So far so good!
Jeff and I will be leaving soon on a “Road Trip,” exploring and photographing new territory in Northeastern California and the Lake Tahoe Region.
I would have eventually purchased this lens along with my new Nikon D-300, but just before a trip like this seemed like the time to take the plunge. I have been experimenting with this lens and I’m loving it, but IÂ haven’t really tried out the camera yet. That is on the agenda for this weekend.
After comparison shopping on the Internet, I found the best deals through B&H Photo in New York. Not only were their prices lower than anywhere else, their service was impeccable.
I will be writing more about our upcoming trip in a future post, as well as posting a photo or two taken on the D-300.

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.
Â
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!Â
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

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…]

Our neighborhood in Auburn, California
