Active Baby Boomer Peg Challender kayaking on Lake Clementine, Auburn, California.
Could I possibly be dreaming of warmer weather?
Yep, that is one reason why I choose to feature this
photo of Peg kayaking on Lake Clementine for today's post. Also, Peg is a great friend and model, who appears in a lot of my Outdoor Lifestyle photos.
You, go girl!

This photo of the Foresthill Bridge in Auburn, CA was taken last month, during our Big Sierra Snowstorm. This bridge crosses the American River and connects Auburn to the tiny town of Foresthill.
One of the most popular searches on this Photo Blog is for the Foresthill Bridge (also known as the Auburn-Foresthill Bridge). I can understand why. Not only is it the tallest bridge in California, but it's the 3rd tallest bridge of it's kind in the United States.
This bridge was featured in the movie XXX and has become quite the base jumping spot. To see more of our images of this famous bridge, visit our
Auburn Stock Photo Gallery, or you can do a search for the Foresthill Bridge on this Blog.
We will be adding more images of this Auburn Icon to our Website in the near future, so be sure to check back often.
Have a great weekend everyone!

No Hands Bridge surrounded by fog, Auburn, California. This image was processed using a combination of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 & Adobe Photoshop CS3.
No Hands Bridge is one of Auburn's famous icons. It is really fun to photograph it, especially if you are able to capture it when it is surrounded by fog! You can do a search on this blog to see more photos I have taken of it.
Enjoy!

Sherri & Cocoa hiking along the North Fork of the American River, Auburn, California. This image was developed using both Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 & Adobe Photoshop CS3.
It's been a couple of weeks since we took this hike. The color down in the canyon was looking pretty good then. This weekend, we are returning to a different location along the American River for more Fall photos. I'm really looking forward to getting out again. I've been tethered to my computer too long in one stretch.
I should have some new Fall nature images up next week for you all to see.
Have a great weekend everyone!

The famous Foresthill Bridge, Auburn, California. It was processed using a combination of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 and Adobe Photoshop CS3.
What: The famous Foresthill Bridge.
Where: North Fork of the American River, Auburn, California.
When: A couple of weeks ago.
Who: Jeff, our dog Cocoa & I were taking a Fall hike.
How: The
Foresthill Bridge was reflecting in a mud puddle. I thought that was pretty cool. So I took a series of photos of the mud puddle. This was one of my favorites.
Then, in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2, I rotated the photo so it was upside down and now you see the bridge right side up in the mud puddle.
Did anyone guess how this image was captured, before I revealed the answer?

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!

If you have been wanting to try Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, but haven't had the jingle in your jeans, now is your golden opportunity.

Vicki West cooking Dutch Oven Blackberry Cobbler, Utica Reservoir, Alpine County, CA
Move over summer. Fall is here.
This wraps up my summer series at Utica Reservoir. Our wonderful friend and Professional Chef, Vicki, came all the way out from Colorado to help celebrate my Birthday. What a gal!
She hauled 3 Dutch Ovens with her and all the makings for Beef Brisket and Blackberry Cobbler (minus the Blackberries - we picked those in our neighborhood) for my Birthday dinner Saturday night.
Vicki spent much of the day prepping and cooking. Jeff gladly assisted her during the cooking process. He wants to get into Dutch Oven Cookery too. It was quite amazing to watch and photograph. But, the best part of it all was eating it!
If anyone wants the recipes for the Beef Brisket and/or the Blackberry Cobbler, just leave a comment below. I'm sure I can get them for you, when she returns home to Colorado. She is currently working at a ranch in Wyoming and should be returning home soon!

View of Utica Reservoir in Alpine County, CA at sunrise, from inside our tent.
Fall has arrived. That said, I will be wrapping up my summer series on Utica Reservoir soon. Then, my focus will be on Fall images.
This photo was shot from inside our tent at 5:30 in the morning. I didn't feel like messing with the tripod, so I shot this at ISO 3200. My camera (Nikon D300) does very well at the higher ISO's. I can also reduce the digital noise using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. Even so, I couldn't reduce the noise enough for my liking.
So, what did I do?
I took this image into Photoshop CS3 and applied "Cutout," one of my favorite artistic filters. It did exactly what I hoped it would. It covered up all the noise and rendered an image that was pleasing to the eye.
I hope you like it!
