While all our electronic cigarette starter kits already come with a wall charger, it's always nice to have an extra charger for your office or 2nd home. The 2-pronged Wall Charger plugs easily into any standard 120v wall outlet.
NOTE: For use with the DELUXE e-Cigarette only. Works with both the original battery and the new SuperMAX™ Deluxe Battery. ***USB ADAPTER SOLD SEPARATELY***
Price $9.99
When you need an even more compact size and design, the Air Mini Battery will do it all for you. A high powered 350 mAh battery, this is the perfect model to have as a backup, or for those who value the beauty in simplicity. Don't worry, though, it still promises plenty of control and an utterly delightful performance.
Price $14.99
The South Beach Smoke Air® Standard Battery takes vaping to new pinnacles! When you want a vaporizer loaded with power (650 mAh) and sharp looks, this is the one for you. It's perfect for beginners who need an upgrade or those who just want better performance. It offers a whole lot of control, and fits beautifully in your hand. Does your vaping need some advancing? Let the Air show you how it's done!
Price $22.99
When you want as much power as you can get in a vaporizer, you're going to want the Air High Capacity. It's a whopping 900 mAh, and sure to give you the throat hits and plumes of vapor you so desire. One thing we can guarantee; you will not regret vaping with this baby! Vaping with total function, luxury and indulgence has arrived.
Price $24.99
The South Beach Smoke Air® Tank was made to give you the kind of performance you deserve from your Air vaporizer. It's easy to fill, easy to use, and exactly what you need for proper vaping. It holds a copious amount of e-liquid, to ensure you are getting adequate amounts of vapor and flavor, and will certainly not let you down with unfortunate leaks.
The South Beach Smoke Air® has a built in atomizer head that lasts 2-3 weeks on average, which equals to about 15-20 e-liquid refills. Also, dust and dander are never an issue with the stainless steel cap that protects your mouthpiece from unwanted exposure.
Only 14 remaining.
Price $9.99
The South Beach Smoke Air® USB Charger is the perfect go-anywhere charger. Wherever your laptop, or USB port goes, bring this charger so you can power up easily. In fact, this charging cable is so versatile, it makes sense to have a few of them because backup is always necessary in the digital age. Perfect for your desk at work, storing in your bag and at home; you'll always be ready when you need a quick charge.
Note: Compatible with the South Beach Smoke Deluxe Wall Charger and Universal Car Adapter
Price $7.99
The South Beach Smoke SuperMAX™ Battery comes in two different switch options:
Automatic Switch
The Automatic Battery is the easiest battery to use and operates like a traditional cigarette. When you puff on your electronic cigarette, you are telling a computer chip located inside the battery to activate the atomizer and automatically produce vapor. When using the Automatic Battery you can create the thickest vapor by priming your e-cigarette, simply by taking one long deep puff and thicker vapor will be produced on subsequent puffs.
Manual Switch
The Manual Battery has a small button that you press to activate the atomization process and hold down while smoking. Manual batteries require no priming like the automatic batteries and produce thicker vapor more quickly and with less puffs. The Manual battery version will last about 25% less than the Automatic, but will create more vapor. Many people find that the button on the manual battery is manageable and does not interfere with their electronic smoking experience.
The choice of an automatic or manual battery really is a personal preference. You should consider if you don't want to have to press a button, then the automatic battery is probably a better choice for you. On the other hand, the manual battery does produce thicker vapor, and the best choice if you think this will enhance your electronic smoking enjoyment.

Smokeless electric cigs direct from SouthBeach offer young adults an alternative to dangerous, and smelly traditional smoking. E-cigs from SouthBeach produce NO tar, smoke, ash, or any of the thousands of toxic substances found in traditional cigarettes. Rather than yielding smoke that clings to clothing and just about anything else, electronic smoking only produces an odorless water vapor that looks like tobacco smoke, but disappears in just seconds and doesn't smell.
If you enjoy "smoking" but want to avoid the health consequences of traditional cigarettes, vapor smoking offers both a healthier alternative and a satisfying smoking experience. VaporFlo™ technology gives SouthBeach e-cigs a distinct advantage over other leading brands by ensuring a smooth draw, maximum "vapor" production and the closest resemblance to traditional cigarettes. Enjoy these groundbreaking alternative cigarettes and ditch the smoke, ash, tar tobacco, carbon monoxide and most of all, those horrible, offensive smells. Browse our e-cig starter kits ›
E-cigarette cartridges, which contain the nicotine-infused liquid, are also available in wide variety of flavors beyond traditional tobacco. Enjoy chocolate, vanilla, cherry, peppermint, and peach if you're looking for a sweeter flavor than just tobacco or menthol. Of course, those flavors are available too. Besides having your choice of flavors, SouthBeach e-cig cartridges are also designed and built with superior VaporFlo™ technology that ensures the smoothest draw and most realistic smoking experience.
Before you head out on the town with friends, make sure you're properly outfitted to e-smoking on the go. SouthBeach has a wide variety of batteries, chargers and cases each tailored to the hustle and bustle of college life. Browse our e-cig accessories ›

map ypservers within the domain. A destination host (or a list of
hosts with multiple -h commands) can also be specified on the command
line. A "transfer map" request is sent to the NIS serger at each
slave, along with the information needed by the transfer agent ypxfr(8)
to callback to yppush, which may be printed the result to stderr. Mes-
sages are also printed when a transfer is not possible; for instance
when the request message is undeliverable.
-d domain
Specify a particular domain. The NIS domain of the local host
system is used by default. If the local host's domain name is
not set, the domain name must be specified with this flag.
-t timeout
The timeout flag is used to specify a timeout value in seconds.
This timeout controls how long yppush will wait for a response
from a slave server before sending a map transfer request to the
next slave server in the list. By default, yppush will wait 90
seconds. For big maps, this is not long enough.
-p # parallel jobs
yppush normally performs transfers serially, meaning that it
will send a map transfer request to one slave server and then
wait for it to respond before sending the next map transfer
request to the next slave server. In environments with many
slaves, it is more efficient to initiate several map transfers
at once so that the transfers can take place in parallel.
-h host
The host flag can be used to transfer a map to a user-specified
machine or group of machines instead of the list of servers con-
tained in the ypservers map. A list of hosts can be specified by
using multiple instances of the -h flag. -v Verbose mode:
causes yppush to print debugging messages as it runs. Note spec-
ifying this flag twice makes yppush even more verbose.
domainname(1), ypserv(8), ypxfr(8)
The mechanism for transferring NIS maps in NIS v1 is different that

Governing Of Marketing In Bulgarian Farms
AbstractAttempt has been made to identify dominant forms and factors for output realization in Bulgarian farms. New Institutional and Transaction Costs Economics framework is used to estimate comparative efficiency of various modes for realization of farm outputs in farms of different type (unregistered, cooperative, agro-firms) and various sizes (small, middle-size, large). Study is based on a large-scale microeconomic data collected through interviews with managers of 0.5% of commercial farms in the country. Big institutional, economic, and behavioral uncertainty combined with high assets specificity and low recurrence of transactions, have blocked formation of agrarian markets in the country. Market has "failed" to organize significant part of inputs supply and outputs realization transactions. However, agrarian agents have developed various private modes to overcome transacting difficulties and to govern their dependent transactions. A great variety of in-farm production and processing, personal contacts, long-term marketing contracts, and interlinked modes etc. have come to existence and they characterize dominant structures for outputs realization in Bulgarian farming today. Major type of farming outputs realization (household consumption and giving to friends and relatives; production in-farm consumption; additional processing in-farm; long-term contract for outside processing; sell) in farms of different types and sizes has been identified and their relative share in brut farm output determined. Product specificity (grain, vegetables, fruits and grape, live animals and meat, milk, others) and its relation to specific organizational choice of outputs realization (member cooperative; other farm, cooperative or firms; retail trade; wholesale trade to store, hotel, restaurant; commodity exchange; wholesale market; in-farm processing; state reserve; direct export) have been identified and microeconomic factors for governance choice discussed. Importance of diverse factors for preferring a particular buyer or mode for realization of farm outputs (lack of alternative buyer; best prices; maximum profit; minimum risk; cheapest way; maximum security; high trust; tradition; frequency of transactions with the same partner) have been specified. Prominence of various transacting problems for realization (lack of buyers; low prices; unstable prices; no price information; no buyer information; buyer is better informed; unreliable partner; not-fulfillment of negotiated terms; controlling and enforcement of contracts; non-business factors etc.) for main farming products and type of farms have been specified. In the same way the significance of chief factors for successful realization (mutual benefits for partners; written contract; oral agreement; third-party assistance; good will of partners; tradition; trust; beneficial for farm prices; lack of competition) have been identified. High marketing costs along with the big enforcement costs of contracts in general, and enormous credit supply costs are the major factors restricting farm enlargement of Bulgarian farms as present stage. Besides, the most important factors for farm development in future relate to improvement of institutional environment (guaranteed marketing, enforcement of Laws and private contracts, macro-economic stability, legislation framework, access to free markets), and own and family experience in farm management.

The Basics Of Wicca
To be a Witch is to love and be loved.
Wicca is a religion based on nature and respect of it. It is the joyous union of nature and being one with Divinity. Infact, it's totally me. But, if you ask twenty thousand Wiccans what they believe, you'll have twenty thousand different answers. It's a personal thing.
As for body image, be happy with who you are, and if your not, take small steps to changing it. Try to be healthy, like low cholesterol, normal blood pressure and make sure you have a physcial every six months.
Let's start out with my favorite place to shop: thrift stores.
Speaking of books, I'm going to take a moment to instruct you in the how's and why's of modern large bookstores.
Semiprecious stones can be found at metaphysical stores, but I strongly suggest trying rock shops first. Metaphysical stores charge an arm and a leg for stones you get for two bucks if you know where to look. Those little points of quartz crystal you find marked at three to five dollars a point? Don't pay more than fifty cents to a dollar. Quartz marbles are harder to find, so you may wind up paying a little more than that if you want one of those. And never order plain semiprecious stones from a metaphysical catalog. You can't inspect them before they're shipped, they're advertised to look bigger than they really are, and they're overpriced. I've seen a piece of amethyst worth maybe five bucks sold for thirty in a catalog. I recommend studying stones a bit so that you have a realistic idea as to their value.
Make things yourself. Learn to sew and make a ritual robe out of some old sheets. Make a zillion little drawstring bags. They come in handy for everything.
Many new witches are ones that have just read a few books, but the author does have a different point of view. That's why information on the most basic of things can be different and conflicting. Now, one might be very confused and begin to look for a teacher or group of people to teach them. But the response is very often no. One shouldn't be taken aback by the response, even if it is slightly offensive, but instead go learn more. Especially when covens can be bound, and the level of intellect is much higher. So instead, try to make a circle with some friends.
A new comer should know that much of the witchy information around has been passed down by word of mouth, and from archaeological documents, myths and legends. But not all of this has filled the gaps, so some have been filled with the conjecture of scholars. This means there is no right way of practising Wicca, even if we had all the knowledge. Afterall it is so personal. Which in turn means that different interpretations will continue, so you have to do a lot of studying by yourself. Any teacher worth studying with will tell you this upfront. Read a lot. Even those you might not like to just to get a feel of it and another point of view, read with an open mind. Look at things if they were a theory before you make up your mind. Somethings will automatically feel right for you, others might not. But don't make up your mind just yet, you're researching.

School Reviews
- August 30, 2014 - Run far away! The people that you meet when you interview will be very different from the people you speak with a month afterwards. They want your money and when you leave and they will want you to leave unless you follow them like lemmings. When you leave they will be able to keep your money and that is their strategy! This is not a Christian school, as they seek to portray. It is a cult school....Run..Run..Run - Posted by Parent

I had been a couple of times before, but slot canyon photography is technically very challenging, and I find that the more trips I take, the more I am able to visualize and refine compositions. On top of that, slot canyons can be dangerous. Surely you have seen the movie about the hiker who was stuck for several days, able to escape only after severing his arm to release it from under a boulder (my wife and mother have, and that's what came immediately to mind when I told them I would be exploring the slots). The risk of flash flood, dehydration, and getting lost are other hazards. While slot canyons are one of the most unique phenomenon to see in person, being able to visualize a coherent composition, and use the reflected light to enhance the depth and glow, is more difficult than it appears.
 To "get my feet wet," I started in Lower Antelope Canyon in Page, Arizona. This slot is popular with tourists, and comes equipped with stairs and railings! It's popular for a reason, the compositions are magnificent.

"Lightkeeper" - Prints Available

"Lady in the Wind" - Prints Available

 From there, I moved on to some lesser known, remote slots in the desert. This particular one I had visited twice before in years past. This one particular composition I shot initially in 2010. It has become a popular print, and I wanted to seize the opportunity to refine my composition and photograph it with a higher resolution camera to allow me to make larger prints.

"Pillars of Light" - Prints Available

"Kaleidoscope" - Prints Available

 Another, more remote slot, has had my attention for years. You almost never see photographs from it. Within the slot canyon is a fragile arch that, for a few moments a day, for just a few days a year, "glows" with reflected light from behind it. Reaching this arch is no easy feat. Dangerous and technical canyoneering skills are require to get down there. But sitting there for over an hour watching the light change and move, culminating in a beautiful glow behind the arch, was a highlight of this trip, and of the years I've been doing photography.

"Eternity Arch" - Prints Available

 I visited this slot on two different days. The first day I was consumed with the arch. So on my second trip I went further down and found some other, equally compelling compositions.

"The Chamber" - Prints Available

"Canyon Voices" - Prints Available

 Between the desert landscape and unique slot canyons, my recent solo trip to the southwest was quite productive. I am happy to release some of my best images to date. If you like what you see on your computer monitor, you will love our large fine art prints. Please contact me if you with questions, or to order.

I started in western Utah near Kanarraville and began heading west towards Page. The primary purpose of the trip was to visit some slot canyons I had not yet explored, and revisit some I have shot in the past. Slot canyons are best photographed on clear days, so that the full sun produces reflected light on the sandstone of the canyon walls. I hoped everyday, therefore, for clear skies during the day, and dramatic clouds at sunrise and sunset; my favorite for creating dramatic landscape imagery. While I spent several days exploring the slots, I frequently drove two hours or more to reach a location to camp for the night, and hope for dramatic conditions. While the slot canyons were the highlight of the trip, camping alone in some of these remote areas was a priceless experience. Sufficed to say, I got burned on more sunrise/sunsets than I care to recall, but such is the nature of landscape photography. I did visit some amazing locations (some with no photos to share, unfortunately, but I'll definitely keep going back until the conditions are right).

 The first night I spent along the Paria River, with unique painted hills similar to the Painted Desert in Arizona.

"Painted" - Prints Available

 Another area I have been to before and enjoy visiting is the Vermillion Cliffs wilderness. A long off-road drive with a 4WD capable vehicle is required, but the reward is beyond words. An alien-like landscape with countless photographic compositions awaits. When I visited here in 2011, my two buddies and I were the only ones there. This time, there were at least 15 other people camped out, most of whom were other photographers. This place is becoming more well known, and more crowded each year. I have yet to experience explosive skies here, and there are many compositions I have found that I intend to explore again in the coming years.

"Survivor" - Prints Available

 While in the area, I was lucky enough to acquire a ticket to hike Coyote Buttes North, otherwise known as "The Wave." This oft-photographed location is limited by the state to just 20 visitors per day. A three mile hike through the desert brings you to "The Wave," a small, but unique sandstone formation with swirls of colorful sandstone.

"The Wave" - Prints Available

 Just a short hike uphill is another "wave," one more visually appealing in my opinion. Many people don't stick around in a place where the only refuge from the mid day sun is a shadow created by a small rock. Just before sunset, however, one's patience is rewarded as the warm glow illuminates this sandstone in soft light just before the sun sets below the horizon.

"Encore" - Prints Available

 The opportunity exists for countless intimate compositions, isolating interesting patterns of sandstone as well.

"Opposing" - Prints Available

"Bending the Line" - Prints Available

 My most successful landscape photos happened at Stud Horse Point, just outside Page, Arizona. One particular day I got an incredible show of light. Stud Horse point is an oft-photographed location, both because of its visual interest, and because it is readily accessible, just a short drive outside Page, Arizona. I drove there mid afternoon one day, but had no data access prior to check the weather conditions. There were 40mph winds all afternoon, progressing into the early evening. Being that it was my first time to the area, I did some scouting, but ended up having to seek refuge in my car from time to time after getting blasted with sand in those strong winds. In doing so, I missed a brief rainbow (shucks), but late in the afternoon noticed a wonderful Virga formation in the sky.

"Sheltered" - Prints Available

 As the afternoon progressed towards sunset, the winds were unrelenting. There were a lot of clouds, but a clear break towards the west at the horizon. So I knew that something special would happen at sunset. As soon as the sun went down, the sky exploded with under lighting. I shot multiple compositions over the course of the 15 minutes or so the sky was on fire, constantly changing and shooting towards the color as best I could. Several photos worked out well, but none as good as this one.

"Together Alone" - Prints Available

 It was truly spectacular to witness these changing conditions (on my birthday no less). Around 8pm the winds subsided, and I slept at Stud Horse Point without another soul around for miles. The sky cleared overnight, giving me my second wish of clear skies for shot canyon photography the following day.

Stay tuned for Return to the Southwest Part II: Slot Canyons, to be released on my blog next week.

The appeal to me is how the light transforms a barren desert environment from a land of dry, harsh conditions, into a three dimensionality of reflected light on sandstone, with aquamarine water pools, rivers, and beautiful color. The conditions can be unforgiving at times, and a day or more of withstanding the dry heat and sun will reward one with just a few minutes of a beautiful soft glow at the beginning and end of every day. The soft light just before dusk, and just after dawn, transforms the colors of the sandstone in a variety of ways. One particular place that illustrates this phenomenon well is Coyote Buttes North around the Utah/Arizona border. A short hike past the iconic "Wave" formation is a second formation that many people either don't know about, or don't bother sticking around until sunset to photograph. I've heard many people even say they walked right past it. Why? During the day, the sandstone is washed out from the bright sunlight, and may be unrecognizable to those who have only seen it in photographs taken very late in the day.
 The first shot ("Encore" - Prints Available) was taken just a few moments before the sun set below the horizon. The last light of the sun caused the sandstone to "glow" in warm, soft light. The background hills were in shadow, and thus rendered very dark relative to the direct illumination on the rock.
 The second shot ("Candyland" - Prints Available) was taken just a few moments after the sun set. The red, pink, and orange hues not visible with direct light immediately showed in the afterglow of the sun. Only about 5-10 minutes had lapsed between the first and second shot.
 As you can see, the power of light caused a complete transformation in the color and contrast, and each shot has a completely different mood to it.

 The Southwest is full of hidden gems, and there are many more similar examples that can be found. Photography in the southwest can be quite rewarding, but does require patience, pre-visualizaion, and being in the right place at the right time. See more on my website: Exploring Light Photography.

Some popular spots, some not so well known. I needed the dichotomy of bright skies during the day to give reflected light in the slot canyons, and big skies at night for my sunset and sunrise shoots. One particular day I got an incredible show of light at Stud Horse Point. Stud Horse point is an oft-photographed location, both because of its visual interest, and because it is readily accessible, just a short drive outside Page, Arizona. I drove there mid afternoon one day, but had no data access prior to check the weather conditions. There were 40mph winds all afternoon, progressing into the early evening.

I shot multiple compositions over the course of the 15 minutes or so the sky was on fire, constantly changing and shooting towards the color as best I could. Several photos worked out well, but none as good as this one.

It was truly spectacular to witness these changing conditions (on my birthday no less). Around 8pm the winds subsided, and I slept at Stud Horse Point without another soul around for miles. The sky cleared overnight, giving me my second wish of clear skies for shot canyon photography the following day.

I've had my eye on shooting this location for a couple of years, but with trips to my hometown of New Orleans only once or twice a year, I have had not had as much opportunity as I would like. I knew when I was finally able to shoot it with the right conditions, it would be extraordinary! This is such an inviting scene, I wanted to create a photo that allowed the viewer to close his or her eyes, and take a walk down this oak lined alley. I decided to go check it out in the late afternoon during a trip home for a family event last week. The skies were clear, and smoke from some burning fields nearby really helped diffuse the golden light of the setting sun, accentuating the magical atmosphere that unfolded before me. I've added this photo to my New Work Gallery, and prints are available.

Later in the year, I traveled to the Tombstone Range in Canada's Yukon Territory for a two week long heli-in, heli-out backpacking trip in the wilderness of the Ogilvie Mountains. During the day we were surrounded by the peak Autumn color, showing a carpet of fall color on the tundra; at night, the Aurora Borealis danced across the sky. It was an exceptional trip. Finally, I spent a week closer to home in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park during fall color, and was treated to exceptional conditions and the season's first snowfall.

Over the years, I have spent many mornings at Washington Oaks State Park, photographing this unique rock stretch of Atlantic Coast, and from time to time have shot some cityscapes from around Jacksonville. But in general, the area has never really spoken to me like the southwest canyons, California desert, or waterfalls of the Pacific Northwest. So recently when I was contacted by a publishing company to submit photos for a photo essay about the St. John's River and cover shot, I was embarrassed that I really didn't have many photos to show. They asked if I would be willing to shoot some, and I said sure, but the deadline to produce a portfolio from the St. John's was 1 week! I don't normally accept photo assignments, for that very reason. I don't like to be rushed. I couldn't imaging producing a selection of compelling compositions of a 310 mile river in such a short time. For those who are familiar with the river, it is, as a whole, not very photogenic. You really have to get out and explore the various state parks, alcoves, and tributaries. And so I did. Each morning, outings during the day when the weather was good, and late evenings I spent exploring various areas along the river in Northeast Florida, in mostly horrible weather. In doing this, I realized that, like most people here, I see the river everyday, but have never really looked at it. There are countless opportunities to produce creative shots, like this one where I used a 10 stop ND filter to make a 3 minute exposure one foggy morning.

 Many intimate compositions can be isolated with a longer lens...

 And of course the more traditional nature photography...

 In all, it was a very nice experience to capture the beauty that exists right here in my backyard.

The fall colors were hit or miss this year. Several areas of the park were booming, but others were mixes of not-yet-turned greens and bare trees. The first snow of the season happened the last night we were there, so I was sure to head out the following morning to see what I could find. In checking the weather (temperature, skies, dew points, etc), I figured a clear sky overnight with snow and frost, combined with a small difference in dew point/temperature would lend itself to some nice fog. Cades Cove is a low area that receives a lot of fog, so I decided that's where I would go. I actually had another wide angle composition I was hoping for that I had stalked for three morning straight, with uncooperative light. But when the sun began to rise, I could tell my composition was not going to work well so I grabbed my long lens, as these two similar, but different, magical scenes unfolded before my eyes. I shot handheld for about five minutes before the light became too harsh. I'll release a New Work gallery titled "Fall in the Smoky Mountains" in early January. Click and image to enlarge.

After a couple of days in Dawson City exploring some spots up the Dempster Highway, we took a helicopter into the range to spend the next 7 days. The visit coincided with the peak of fall colors and a booming aurora season. I have seen many fall color areas, but have never seen the tundra change color to such a beautiful carpet of fall color everywhere you look. We timed the peak perfectly, and for the first three days of the trip it was a photographer's paradise. The combination of fall color, streams, and the unique jagged peaks of the Tombstone Mountains was incredible. The joy was short-lived, as a big rainstorm on the fourth day caused us to become cooped up in our tents for 36 hours waiting for the storm to subside. It was worth it, though; the night after the storm cleared, I saw the most spectacular display of Northern Lights I have ever seen. Well, I had never really seen the aurora before, but we did have a couple of brief displays before this. Near the 69th parallel, the location was prime as a clear night is almost a guarantee of an aurora display, granted the magnetic poles are aligned properly. No photo could ever do justice to the aurora, it is simply a most spectacular display of Mother Nature. No wonder few have ever witnessed it- a location like this takes quite the journey to get to, with sleepless nights in the frigid cold. Taking a short nap at around 10 pm (sunset was around 9:30pm), we awoke at midnight and waited... and waited. The temperature was a cold but tolerable 15 degrees F. But once the lights appear, it is amazing the adrenaline kicks in, and the cold is no longer an issue. I found myself gazing in wonder more than taking photos. Just after midnight, the sky would give a green glow, and once every hour or so a solar storm would cause the aurora to dance across the sky, producing various hues of green and magenta. It was very dynamic, and that is why I say a still photo could never capture the energy of its movement. Photographing the aurora is very difficult. The first night we saw it, I fumbled with my camera more than anything. With no visible moon, the landscape is pitch black. The movement is so quick, a shutter speed of less than 5 seconds is necessary. So I typically shot at ISO 6400 f/2.8. At the peak of a solar flare, even a one second exposure would cause all the highlights to blow, so I found it beneficial to set my camera on bulb mode, and vary the shutter speed according to the ambient light. Because shooting at f/2.8 produces such a narrow depth of field, I captured the aurora while focused at infinity, but then had to shoot several frames to achieve the required depth of field to keep all the foreground and midground elements in focus. This required about 5 extra shots (90 seconds at ISO 6400 each), which I typically shot when the activity had dissipated. Here are some of my favorite photos from the trip. I hope you enjoy.

I've integrated it with my Photoshelter site, which I had previously reserved for stock images only, but now use for all my eCommerce. In doing this I'm able to offer more print options and use higher quality paper for larger prints. I hope you like it. I'll be posting again in September, with a fresh batch of images (I hope) from the Yukon Territory. Cheers!

I photographed the Gorge during the peak greens and water flow of Spring. Many of these spots are in remote areas of the Gorge, requiring hours of off trail hiking, bushwhacking, and scrambling. It was worth it, though. In the peak of season, I didn't encounter a single other photographer in most of these areas. Also included are newly processed images I took a couple of years ago in Denali NP and the Smoky Mountains, along with travel images from Venice, Italy. Enjoy!

The combination of usability, dynamic range, and megapixel count far surpassed the capability of my Canon 5DII. So I sold my Canon gear on eBay, and completely switched to Nikon. I currently use the D800E as my main body, and have a D800 for backup. I like to experiment with my Hoya 10-stop solid ND filter, for several-minute exposures uaually for cloud streaks or water scenes. Since I began shooting with the D800E, I noticed my shots with the solid ND were plagued by a purple streak across the center of the image (see below for the RAW file, click to enlarge). At first, I thought it was the filter. I looked at it carefully under bright light... no scratches. Then I thought it was the lens (I had only used the Nikkor 24-70)... but when I tried with the telephoto lens the same thing happened. Then I thought it was the fact that the D800E does not have an antialiasing filter. There probably is something to this; the antialiasing filter does shield infrared light which can produce strange artifact. But that did't make complete sense. After doing a little reading, I discovered the problem. The camera, at long exposures, is prone to light leak from the viewfinder. There is a little switch next to the viewfinder that allows you to close it. Problem solved. I'm posting this in case anyone runs into a similar problem. It's an easy fix, and hope to prevent someone from going out and buying new filters/lenses, etc., unnecessarily. Cheers!

I used a small portable lightbox, remote triggered flash for backlighting, and extension tube. Finding flowers in their natural habitat is always nice, but when that's not possible, a simple set up and stop at the supermarket will suffice :)

Coming from Florida, I flew to Spokane, spent the night and drove 7 hours the next day across Montana to the East side of the park. It was an unusually calm day. Most who have visited here remember consistently strong winds over the lakes and Logan Pass area. This day was quite different. Some late afternoon clouds filled the sky, and I was surrounded by a smoky haze from some distant wildfires. As usual at the beginning of my trips, I was full of energy and ready to go, having a hard time waiting to try out my new Nikon D800 that I bought before the trip to replace my Canon 5DII that I had used for the previous three years. I first set out to the banks of St. Mary's Lake. The atmosphere was great for some late afternoon shooting. As the sun became lower in the sky, the low clouds split the light, with rays (aka, "god beams") accentuated by the haze. I shot in this location for just over an hour, and created this monochrome image of the light rays over the lake with a lone tree in the foreground.

Click to enlarge
As the sun began to set, the low clouds started to dissipate, but hung around long enough to produce some nice color. I walked about a quarter mile west on the banks of the lake and set up at a relatively popular location to shoot the sunset. Most shots I've seen from this area capture fierce waves crashing on these foreground rocks, but as you can see the lake was totally calm that day. This was a single capture just before the sun dipped below the mountains. I did not add any Orton effect here; the soft glow of the sky was created by the hazy air.

This particular morning in Glacier NP gave some of the best light I've seen in awhile. My main shooting was done earlier in the morning down below in the meadows, capturing the pre-dawn pink and purple glow over the cascades. Once that light faded I hightailed it up stream and a little higher up to shoot this scene directly into the sunrise. Even after the sun peaked above the mountains, the light hung around for another hour or so, thanks to some nice cloud placement and the smoke that was ever present in Glacier during my trip. I created this image using a blend of two exposures, one for the sky and another for the foreground and mid ground. With my new D800, I probably could have captured this in one exposure, but old habits die hard. I'm amazed at the tonal range that camera captures, and the amount of recoverable detail in the highlights (as long as they are not blown), and shadows in particular. I processed the sky exclusively in Lightroom, and blended with the midground and foreground I processed in Photoshop, mainly by some selective levels and curves adjustments, dodging and burning. Thanks for looking!

This was a lot of fun to shoot. These gnarled old pines are located atop a lonely plateau just outside Glacier Park. We scouted the area in the early evening, camped nearby and returned at 3am to catch the moonlight. The conditions were perfect. A full moon illuminated the landscape with cloud streaks moving east, while the winds on the ground were blowing around 40mph consistently, with gusts well above 50mph. And did I mention it was very cold!

The organizational scheme I have used since 2009 was no longer working for me. I had my images catalogued primarily by date, and only secondarily by location. I found it increasingly difficult to locate files, and found that some had vanished completely. I do maintain several backups, and was able to locate some images that had been lost, but that made the process all the more time-intensive.

 Currently, I have my library stored on my Mac Pro at home, on a separate drive from the system software, just in case that somehow becomes corrupt. I also have a Drobo system at home which backs up daily, and itself is a RAID system for redundancy. I have an additional backup that I keep locked up off site, and my final backup is to CrashPlan, where I can upload unlimited data for just over $5 per month. Barring a natural disaster on an epic scale, my images are safe.

 My current catalogue organizes images by both genre and location. For example, I have a top-level folder for all "floral" images as a genre, but separate folders for those best organized by location (e.g., North America-->California-->Death Valley). In the Death Valley folder, I have folders for "Gallery" (those images on my website), "Previous Versions" (I like to save the previous versions of images I have reprocessed), "Processed Extras" (photos I processed but did not make it on my site), and "Original RAW" (I always keep my original RAW files in case I need to start from scratch). So far this system is working well.

 One benefit of going through this exercise, is that I browsed most of my RAW files from previous trips, and several caught my eye that I had overlooked for whatever reason the first time around. There are those who believe that photos should be processed as soon as possible to try and preserve the feelings and emotions invoked when the image was taken; others prefer to wait a while and "let things settle a bit" before processing to view images more objectively. I think the answer is somewhere in between.

 Here are a few images I dug from the archives and added to my galleries (click an image to enlarge):

The islands of the South Pacific and Caribbean have always been a favorite travel destination of mine, though I regret not having done much photography in these places. Many shots there are made best by a high sun bringing out the beautiful water. I started a new Islands gallery, which I hope to fill and improve upon in the coming years. Such places of beauty are certainly the gems of the world.

I also had the chance to visit Galen Rowell's Mountain Light gallery in Bishop, California a couple of times. His photos from the area are inspiring, to say the least. One of my last mornings there, I caught some great light on the peak of Mt. Tom just after sunrise, and thought "Mountain Light" would be a fitting title.

Seeing the Milky Way like this really makes it worthwhile to crawl out of the tent at 2:30 am! It's amazing how much color the camera can capture on a clear night, far more than is visible to the naked eye. I shot this with my Nikon 14-24 at 14mm, positioned very low to the ground and looking up. Using a single exposure of 30 seconds, ISO 3200 and f/2.8, I briefly painted the tree with a pocket flashlight for a couple seconds of the exposure.

The playa is covered in salt, lining small pools of water that have been there for many years. Four tourists, this is the salt flats section of death valley. An almost unmentionable area as you drove down the highway and perhaps don't give a second look. But walk around a little. You'll see that many of these water pools form channels running east - west between adjacent mountain peaks. Water, of course, provides an excellent reflective source of sunlight as it sets. I found this tributary, though complex, to form the perfect leading lines towards the mountains towards the west. With 30mph winds, the clouds ware moving rather briskly. So I set up with a 17mm lens, f/22, and a 10 stop ND filter to capture the scene as it unfolded. Successive shots around 2 minute exposures long were giving me what I had in mind. The problem was the the sun would intermittently shine through the clouds and blow the exposure, Luckliy, on my final shot, the sun was hidden behind a cloud, and emerged just above the mountain line for the last few seconds of the exposure, giving a perfect sunburst. This was truly a memorable sunset to watch.

Crater Lake is an awe-inspiring site, and seeing it first hand makes me realize how all the photographs I've seen from there really do not convey its grand scale. Needless to say, I was hoping for some good light, as I had just one morning to photograph Crater Lake at sunrise. About an hour before sunrise I took a short hike from the road to the rim of the lake and set up in a spot that had a good overall view of the lake and Wizard Island. It wasn't looking good from the start, not a cloud to be found anywhere. But I still kept my hopes up. You may be asking yourself, "what does Crater Lake have to do with the title and photo of this blog post?" Well, when the sun began to rise, it became increasing obvious that I was not going to capture a quality image that morning. But turning around towards the west, there was a beautiful mist blanketing the mountains in the distance. So I abandoned my plan, got out my long lens and shot several exposures of this scene with the predawn light glowing pink in the sky. I've heard other photographers time and time again talk about not having tunnel vision for a particular shot when you are out there, because an even better shot may be right behind you. So is the case here.
