Winter is almost upon us

Winter is almost upon us - 11/02/05 04:01 PM

Closer to being off time for me....hard at work, and some winter outings, but slower photographicly here in wonderful wet Portland. My goals this year are to perfect my printing....I just bought a nice new compound miter saw to begin learning framing work....and with my 2 new SB-600 slave flashes and two new umbrellas with stands...I will be working on perfecting my understanding of portrait work and flash photography. What does every one else do during slower times photographicly?

I work on processing a rather large back log of raw files in photoshop, updating my website, working on potential articles for submission to magazines etc.

I do more reading (diving into Bruce Fraser's "Real World Photoshop CS2" - not sure of the exact title!), and processing of past images.

Also, I do other things.. skiing, etc.

Sadly, I shall be waiting on my bonus in January to *hopefully* fund the purchase of a new D-SLR to truly get back into photography.

I recently gave up one hobby, and I'm itching to get back into this one!

Plan on getting a Nikon D-50 with a couple of lenses to start - then grab a remote, flash, some backdrops, etc. Already have the space in the home-office planned for a in-house still-life studio.

My slow season has been the last 2 years...

generally, though, I can always find something of interest to capture - when things are boring or so-so to look at, I just start on macro stuff - it's a whole other world.
