This week…

In How to Photograph a National Park, I talked about what I do when I visit a national park or other scenic place – from what I bring to what I do when Mother Nature doesn’t cooperate.
 
I read an interview with Nikon executives, where they talked about the future of the company, which got me to thinking about evolution versus revolution. I posted a video where I talked about that, and how Nikon and Canon should get on the revolution train, here.
 
I read some other interesting stuff this week, which I shared on Facebook – there are new top-level domains available, which are geared towards photographers, and I got some inside scoop from Olympic photographers in another article.
 
I added a few new prints to my print store – some were from Zion and some were from New York.

Chick at Nite this week was from a multi-part shoot with Sandra. In the video, I talk to her about the shoot and also show footage of the shoot. is she and I talking a bit about what we were doing but also included some footage of me simply working with her.
 
The SnapChick Friday Morning Rewind was from a shoot from a few years ago where I used simple equipment – work lights and a t-shirt and jeans!

I went to Zion National Park last weekend. I posted a gallery for you!
 
I added a couple new print store photos at snapchick.zenfolio.com.
 
I get asked often about the “right” gear to buy when getting started with photograph – people want a list to take to their local camera shop. I talk about why that isn’t a good idea in a video.
 
I posted my official Field Trip to Northern Arizona and Southern Utah!
