    What is your workflow in PSE?

    I have PSE7. Here's my basic flow: Create a catalog and throw the pics in. Open the editor. If RAW: RAW photos will trigger the RAW editor to open. - first tab: adjust white balance; exposure; recover any blown out highlights; contrast; very light touch, if any, with saturation (hate the...

    New F&G Brainstorm - Charge EVERYBODY.

    I hope the part about the autistic kids was just hyperbole on your part. When we start charging autistic kids, we've truly hit rock bottom as a society. To quote Stevie Wonder, "Heaven help the man who kicks the man who has to crawl".

    Nikon CoolPix

    Anyone have any experience using the Nikon Coolpix compact series? Looking at the 8200 or 9300. I feel like I'm cheating on Canon by even casting a longing gaze at a Nikon, but oh well.

    Anyone been up Grand Teton in mid June?

    Keep in mind it snowed in Yellowstone last week, not just the high peaks, but down low too. Grand Teton is higher than anything in Yellowstone. I took this pic in the second week of June 2005 and some of the higher passes were still not passable. In addition to asking about gear, I'd keep...

    Oh baby! (food)

    Seems like a cool idea, but now you're going to have to carry a bib and make airplane noises. Other hikers are gonna laugh at you.

    A Comedy of Errors

    This video drags on way too long, and I'm not sure I believe half of it, and Tim is in love with himself to a pathetically embarrassing degree. However, having said all that, this was one of those slow motion train wrecks I just couldn't stop watching. And strangely enough, it's almost valuable...

    May 26-27 on Mts. Galehead, The Twins, Guyot, The Bonds, Zealand, and Hale

    You EARNED that Bondcliff sunrise. Getting up that early, going solo while everyone else stays in the crib, and trekking out to a "spur" that wasn't even part of your planned trip....all that makes the sunrise photo (which is awesome by the way) even that much better. Always cool when doing...

    Drinking Water from the Connecticut River

    Two words in your post sealed the deal for me....."landfill" and "upstream" I'd pack water.

    Backpacking and contact lenses

    As a former contact wearer who has since had LASIK, I can answer that. It's simple. Because some people are more coordinated than others, or more careful than others, or have longer lashes than others, or simply prefer to use a mirror, etc. Also, when the lens goes for an unplanned ride and...

    Backpacking and contact lenses

    In Marine Corps boot camp, we were issued these and they were known as "birth control glasses". The reason being when you're wearing them, no girl would ever want to ... well, you know where I'm going. To the OP: for backpacking, I like to keep things simple as much as possible. I vote for...

    The Big Void

    Continued... I remember saying something like, "Hey John, wouldn't it be cool to get a picture of someone sitting on that little ledge, looking over the drop-off?" And before I finished the sentence, there he was. Hey, nobody ever said software engineers are bright. John should be...

    The Big Void

    Took this trip a few years ago, but you can pretend it's new :) Plus, it's mud season, and we're sorely lacking trip reports. Who: Five of us What: Five day backpacking trip Where: Grand Canyon (starting at Grandview Point and ending at Bright Angel Trail on the South Rim) When: April 5th thru...

    Reminder: Our impacts in the mountains are significantly higher this time of year!

    If I come upon a big section of wet deep mud that can't be rock hopped, I'm going around it. Always have, always will. Above treeline with the delicate little plants and flowers, that's different, I stay off those little dudes. But the forest is pretty rugged. There are worse sins than...
