And there it is like a badge of pride. Look how successful that business is at using taxpayer money to establish their business. Lol! They're so successful! Lol!
#66 Jul 3, 2014
None of it is right unless it can be show conclusively that taxpayers will benefit from their investment. The only way to do that is to have an independent cost/benefit analysis performed. This should be mandatory for all earmarks like these.
Prove in real terms that the millions of taxpayer dollars given to Rob Eshe, Frank DuRoss et al will cause taxes to be lower or jobs worth more than what was invested will materialize.
They were given millions to start what is a private business. I asked it before. Who couldn't make this go if they were handed those millions?

100% correct.
#70 Jul 4, 2014
First of all the support is much better in Utica for AHL hockey than in the Capital District more centrally located in the middle of the state! I'm sure the Rangers wouldn't mind moving their AHL team out of Hartford where the support is not good and they have a large per game rent! All in all the AHL probably won't get the support out west that they are hoping for..........

Where is the construction? No suites? No external improvements? You can't can't a banner over missing bricks forever...we're not blind!

#90 Aug 12, 2014
yup... as usual your dead wrong as always!!!!!! electricians updating equipment all over the building, workers ripping out some old offices in preperations for new seating, new led lighting in the arena, parking lot being installed across the street.... yup ... nothing going on at the auditorium!!!!!!
#92 Aug 12, 2014
Millions in taxpayer money in grants allocated to Utica Aud to include private box construction. Now, it is said that the cost of those boxes has tripled, so there will be no boxes.
Does anyone care to guess what happened to the money allocated for those boxes?
Senator Griffo?
Assemblyman Brindisi?
#93 Aug 13, 2014
Just reading this post shows how ignorant people in that region truly are.

Because nothing EVER dries up and fails in the third world ruins of Utican't.

First of all the leagues member teams & league board would have to vote on the realignment and i'm pretty sure they wouldn't like the prospect of digging into their pockets for more travel costs!!
#98 Aug 17, 2014
The league is at the mercy of the parent teams. If they want to leave the ahl and are threatening to start their own western league for their affiliates the American League listens as a whole for the benefit of their business. I suggest you look at the map of echl teams and the organizations that feed those teams. A "lesser" league seems to do just fine with those "increased travel costs". Lol!
Enjoy your last season in utica.
#99 Aug 18, 2014
lets see... your the same loser that spent all last season telling us all the comets were one and done... you told us last week that no new seats were going in at the auditorium and no more improvments. its obvious you have no clue what the plans are at the auditorium are. the owners that want to go west are not "threatining to start their own league" so stop putting words in to peoples mouths..(another tactic you try to use all the time" and theres only 3 teams in a position to move.... deal with facts instead of making up crap...... kinda like when you saw that video of aquilini passing gas while walking past the abbotsford mayor and saying it was a done deal... what a loser you are......
#100 Aug 18, 2014
I know the truth hurts when you just result to insults and yes the western NHL teams did threaten to branch off into a new league. It's not unprecedented. They've done it twice already.
#101 Aug 18, 2014
Love the video boards and looking forward to this season!
#102 Aug 18, 2014
They will look good collecting dust next season.
#104 Aug 18, 2014
Please don't tell me we have to listen to Dave's useless drivel all season long. Yes Dave we get it, Mr Aquilini (that's Frank to you) is moving the team out west.
How come you haven't piped in about Aquilini's bid for the Buffalo Bills? Surely he's informed you about that. Are you now going tell us that they'll be referred to as the Vancouver Bills?
#105 Aug 18, 2014
The bills will be staying in buffalo for a very long time. The comets...no. Enjoy the final season.

Ducks: The daily scrum
Sorry, the daily scrum overslept this morning.
The Ducks go into tonight's game with St. Louis at 79 points, one behind Nashville, and in 10th place. A victory would tie them with Calgary's 81 points.
L.A. and Phoenix are fourth and fifth with 85. Chiago is sixth with 84 and Dallas seventh with 82.
And the game at Honda Center is the only one relevant to the scrum tonight.
The Ducks have four back-to-back games left, the most of any team in the scrum. The first is Saturday-Sunday, with a trip to L.A. preceding Calgary's visit to Anaheim.
The Wild is the only team with three back-to-backsl. Calgary and the Kings have only one.
Tuesday's game:
San Jose 6, Dallas 3: The Sharks killed off two power plays in the final 4:08 to preserve a 4-3 lead, and then got two empty-net goals. They also trailed, 2-0. A controversial open-ice hit by Douglas Murray knocked Loui Ericsson out of the game. As usual, Ryane Clowe got a big goal, to put the Sharks up 3-2 off a steal by Joe Pavelski.
Phoenix 4, Calgary 3: The Flames cut a 4-1 deficit to 4-3 but couldn't beat Ilya Bryzgavlov again. David Moss and Brendan Morrison were out for the Flames, who irked coach Brent Sutter with a listless start at home. Eric Belanger was 10-3 in faceoffs for Phoenix.
Los Angeles 4, Nashville 2: The Kings continued to look like the team we thought they were (so do they win the Dennis Green Award?). Jonathon Blum of Santa Margarita tied the game at 1-1 for the homestanding Predators, but Alec Martinez and Wayne Simmonds scored in the second period. Each team had only one shot in the first period and the Kings only had 18 for the game. Drew Doughty and Willie Mitchell were plus-3 for the Kings, who swept a 4-game trip for the first time in their largely miserable history. Anze Kopitar played in his 325th consecutive game, a franchise record.

Cleveland City Council members on Monday voted to set up a five-member panel to try to work out a solution to the animal control issue involving the county.
The committee will include Cleveland animal rescuer Rachel Veazey, Cleveland Council members George Poe and Dale Hughes and two members from the Bradley County Commission. Bradley County Commission Chairman Louie Alford put Commissioners Bill Winters and Charlotte Peak-Jones on the panel.
Chairman Alford said he wants to see the committee ''beginning working ASAP."
The city motion came after earlier in the meeting the City Council agreed to accept animals from Ducktown, Tn.
Under the current situation, there is no arrangement for stray animals out in the county to be brought to the Cleveland Animal Shelter.
Bradley County Commission members did not want to continue to pay for a vehicle to transport stray animals, but agreed to provide $167,000 to the city if it would take animals brought to the facility. But that was rejected in a 4-3 vote.
Cleveland Vice Mayor Avery Johnson said he had begun to see "a lot of stray animals" within the city limits that apparently were coming from the county.
Mayor Tom Rowland said he hopes an agreement can be reached with the county to solve the problem.
County Commission members said they got a letter from the director of the East Ridge Animal Shelter with ideas on how to set up an animal shelter in a cost-effective way. Commissioner Ed Elkins said he liked some of the ideas, but Vice Chairman Jeff Yarber said, "I am hesitant to take advice from East Ridge. I'm not seeing that city as doing so well."
He said he favors consolidation of services and said the county setting up a separate animal shelter "would be going backwards." He said, "The next thing we'll have a civil war and secede from the city."
Vice Chairman Yarber said, "We've got some commissioners who are very anti-city. That's what has gotten us into the mess we're in."
County Commissioner Mark Hall said the animal control issue "got caught in the cross fire of a 30-year skirmish between the city and county."
A woman at the county meeting said there is a danger that stray dogs will begun running in wild packs and prove a danger to other animals and humans.

The lasing operation of three-quantum-well GaInNAs stripe geometry lasers grown by MOCVD on 0/spl deg/ and 6/spl deg/ misoriented [100] GaAs substrates, respectively, have been demonstrated and their performance is compared for the first time. Both devices achieved room temperature, pulsed lasing operation at an emission wavelength of 1.17 μm, with a threshold current density of 667 A/cm2 for lasers grown on 6/spl deg/ misoriented substrates, and 1 kA/cm2 for lasers grown on 0/spl deg/ misoriented substrates. The threshold for the lasers grown on 6/spl deg/ misoriented substrates compares favorably with the best results for GaInNAs lasers. Lasers with narrower stripe width and a planar geometry have also been demonstrated by the use of lateral selective wet oxidation for current confinement, with a threshold current density of 800 A/cm2 for 25-μm-wide devices.

Good food and fun, bargain prices
Pelon's serves up a good mix of variety, value
I first stumbled into Pelon's on a Wednesday night, lured by the promise of $2 tacos and beers. At those prices, I had assumed the place was a hole in the wall, and was pleasantly surprised by the spacious, pleasant interior.
Having spent my teen summers in Virginia Beach surfing, I also felt instantly at home amid the ocean-themed decor. From the ride-the-waves posters lining the walls and the TV displaying non-stop surfing footage, to the foosball table and enormous spools serving as tables, Pelon's is a delight for beach lovers and surfing fans. Reading the menu is part of the entertainment here, as patrons browse burrito choices that include Rip Tide, The Curl, Hawaiian Pipeline and Big Kahuna. > Read more.

LONDON U.S. industrial manufacturer Eaton Corp is helping with the investigation into the cause of a fuel leak blamed for a fire on one of Boeing's 787 Dreamliners.
"I can confirm we are fully supporting the investigation of the recent 787 fuel incident," an Eaton Corp spokeswoman told Reuters on Wednesday.
"Without speaking about either the incident or investigation, I can tell you that we do supply pumps and valves to the program," she added.
Earlier on Wednesday, Britain's Times newspaper said a factory run by Eaton's UK unit, Eaton Aerospace, may have produced a faulty valve actuator that caused a fuel leak blamed for a fire on one of the Dreamliners.
The paper said the plant in Hampshire, southern England, produced the part linked to the flow of fuel through sections of the plane, citing an official from Japan's transport ministry.
A team of investigators from Japan's transport ministry has flown to Britain and will visit the factory on Wednesday as part of a trip that will last three days, said the report.
Eaton Aerospace referred all queries to Eaton Corp.
A Japan Airlines Co (JAL) 787 suffered two fuel leaks in a matter of days in recent weeks - one at Boston's Logan airport in the United States, then a further spillage at Narita airport in Tokyo.
Japan is the biggest market so far for the Dreamliner, with JAL and local rival All Nippon Airways Co flying 24 of the 50 Dreamliners delivered to date.
A series of recent incidents - the fuel leaks, a battery fire, a wiring problem, a brake computer glitch and a cracked cockpit window - have focused intense scrutiny on the new plane.
Boeing declined to comment on any investigations underway but confirmed Eaton Aerospace was a supplier to the 787 program.

Statoil to Use Vessels Running on Natural Gas for Eco-Friendly Operations.
Statoil has awarded Buksér og Berging a contract for two escort tugboats to service the Kårstø processing plant on behalf of operator Gassco. The deal secures Kårstø new tugboat capacity with innovative technology for more environment-friendly operations. The two escort tugboats will assist the ships calling at Kårstø. Fitted with the latest technology available, both tugboats will run on liquefied natural gas (LNG), thereby ensuring more environmentally friendly operation. "These are likely to be the first tugboats in the world to run purely on natural gas. Equipped with first-class oil protection equipment, these tugboats will contribute to safe and efficient manoeuvring of the around 600 ships calling at Kårstø every year", says Åge Opheim, head of the Kårstø gas processing plant. Available material includes general views.

- Shares of SolarCity (NASDAQ:SCTY) are up 2.08% premarket to $27.00 after a weekend report indicates that a finalized merger agreement with Tesla could be only days away.
- Previously: Musk expects SolarCity deal to pass by super majority (July 20)
- Previously: Tesla and SolarCity in final round of merger talks (July 23)
Fri, Jun. 24, 2:10 PM
- Needham solar analyst Edwin Mok sees significant implications for the industry from the Brexit vote, amplifying bearishness on several names.
- The biggest hit will come for module and inverter makers like First Solar (FSLR -5.3%), along with Chinese makers, including Trina Solar (TSL -4.5%), JinkoSolar (JKS -5.6%), Canadian Solar (CSIQ -10.4%) and JA Solar (JASO -4.1%), he writes. A weaker euro means price impact: "Additionally, if Brexit results in slower demand, it could exacerbate module oversupply just as multiple producers are adding capacity. This in turn could also drive prices lower."
- A notable exception for Mok is SolarEdge (SEDG -4.5%), for which he maintains a Buy. Still: "The vast majority of [SEDG] sales are priced in the euro. With limited cost infrastructure in Europe as a natural hedge, weakness in the euro would have a direct impact to SEDG's bottom line."
- And U.S. firms like SolarCity (SCTY -2.4%), Sunrun (RUN -7.4%) and Vivint (VSLR -4.7%) could benefit with zero international exposure and possibly lower costs of capital.

- Formerly one of the more bullish sell-siders on Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), Adam Jonas downgrades to Equal Weight from Overweight following Elon Musk's play for SolarCity (NASDAQ:SCTY).
- He calls the move a thesis changer as risks outweigh strategic rationale, and SolarCity does not help Tesla make better cars (via Notable Calls).
- TSLA -1%, SCTY -0.8% premarket
Wed, Jun. 22, 4:06 PM
- "A shameful example of corporate governance at its worst," says Jim Chanos, commenting on Tesla's (TSLA -10.5%) offer to buy SolarCity (SCTY +3%).
- He notes SolarCity's bonds yield 20%, suggesting a company in financial distress. The hundreds of millions in cash it is burning through each quarter will now be a burden Tesla owners will have to bear.
- Consider this, he says: The combined market drop today is greater than the equity value of the deal itself - meaning Tesla shareholders think SCTY stock is essentially worthless.
- "Finally, it is hard for me to believe that this deal was not being contemplated when Tesla, and Mr. (Elon) Musk himself, sold shares just a few weeks ago."
- Chanos, of course, is short the stock of both companies.
Wed, Jun. 22, 9:24 AM
Wed, Jun. 22, 8:23 AM
- Tesla Motors (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk is holding a a second conference call this morning to add more details on the SolarCity (NASDAQ:SCTY) deal.
- Musk begins by explaining how a consumer with a PowerWall, solar panels, and car-charging infrastructure will be able to do a single install after making a bundled purchase.
- "If we didn't do this, it would make Tesla's execution harder and worse," he adds.
- There isn't a great amount of granular detail on Tesla's debt load. "Cash flow covers what's required with the recourse debt," he maintains.
- As the Q&A goes on, Musk's insistence that the deal must happen if Tesla and SolarCity are to scale up adds intrigue to what would happen if either board voted down the combination. Just last night, Credit Suisse forecast only a 20% to 40% chance of the deal closing.
- On Wall Street, perma-bulls like Global Equities are backing the deal wholeheartedly, while Oppenheimer has downgraded Tesla to Market Perform from Outperform. Baird is playing it down the middle by calling out near-term risks for shares, but staying bullish on the long-term Tesla story.
- TSLA -11.06% premarket to $195.32, nearly unchanged during the conference call. SCTY +14.77% to $24.32.
- Previously: Tesla proposes to buy Solar City for $26.50-$28.50/share (June 21)
- Previously: Tesla offer for SolarCity "distracting," "defies common sense" (June 21)
Tue, Jun. 21, 6:54 PM
- Elon Musk considers Tesla's (NASDAQ:TSLA) potential deal for SolarCity (NASDAQ:SCTY) a "no brainer" that would transform TSLA into "the world's only vertically integrated energy company offering end-to-end clean energy products to our customers," from solar panels and home storage batteries to electric vehicles.
- SCTY investors like the idea, of course, sending shares +15% AH, but TSLA shareholders clearly are skeptical; TSLA now -11%.
- CNBC Fast Trader Tim Seymour says the deal's timing of the deal seems "distracting," citing TSLA's struggles to meet sky-high expectations for deliveries and its mass market car.
- Some back of the envelope math from Ben Levisohn at Barron's points to another dilution - this time to the tune of ~12M shares - after raising money last month for the Model 3 build.
- "This deal defies common sense," writes Heard On The Street's Spencer Jakab: "Banding together with another cash-hungry business simply because it is also green and may one day make use of Tesla's batteries may excite some investors and burn short sellers in SolarCity's stock. But, as Mr. Musk warned about his amphibious wonder car, such harebrained schemes can only float 'for short periods of time.'"
Tue, Jun. 21, 5:35 PM
Tue, Jun. 21, 5:30 PM
- Solar City (NASDAQ:SCTY) +22.3% AH after Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) says in a blog post that it has made an offer to acquire the company; TSLA -10% AH.
- TSLA proposes an exchange ratio of 0.122x to 0.131x shares of Tesla common stock for each share of SCTY, which represents a value of $26.50-$28.50/share, or a 21% premium over today's closing price.
- TSLA says its proposal builds on a partnership between the two companies where SCTY uses TSLA battery packs as part of its solar projects.

- SolarCity (SCTY +3.4%) is sharply higher even as Barclays downgrades shares to Underweight from Equal Weight with a $20 price target, believing that weaker consumer credit fundamentals and higher interest rates could hurt the company.
- The firm notes that credit card issuer Synchrony Financial recently predicted that its net charge-off rates would increase by 0.2-0.3 percentage points over the next year; given the trend, investors likely will become more worried about credit quality, concerns that could weigh on SCTY's stock price.
- Also, Barclays expects the Fed to increase interest rates in September and thinks SCTY's sensitivity to financing costs and the long-term nature of its consumer lease portfolio make the company significantly vulnerable to rate increases.
Thu, Jun. 9, 7:50 AM
- SolarCity (NASDAQ:SCTY) +4.9% premarket after Baird upgrades shares to Outperform from Neutral with a $37 target price on the belief that investors may have overreacted to concerns over regulatory issues, such as NV Energy's recent decision to cut net metering benefits.
- The firm notes that SCTY recently announced multiple financing transactions, which should help ease concerns over the company's balance sheet and access to liquidity, and it anticipates further project cost reductions to open new markets.
- Also, Baird believes potential module oversupply could help SCTY reduce system costs in H2.
- "We believe negative sentiment is overdone on one of the leading U.S. rooftop installers, and think shares are attractive at current levels," Baird writes.
Mon, Jun. 6, 1:51 PM
- Four days after SolarCity (SCTY +8.4%) officially announced a revamp of its solar loan offering, Credit Suisse's Patrick Jobin asserts "there are genuine advantages to both homeowners and the residential solar development companies" in a shift from solar leases/power purchase agreements (PPAs) to loans, even if "ultimate value creation could be half the potential value realized under the leasing model."
- Jobin: "We calculate that for a typical customer in California, first year utility bill savings can be ~$261 for a solar PPA and slightly better with $272/yr savings with the loan, but with the loan becoming more advantaged over time as payments are fixed (not escalating) for 20 years. With the potential for 30% more realized savings than from a solar lease by year 5, coupled with the simple proposition that the consumer will own the system free & clear after 10 or 20 years and generate 'free' power, we expect the transition to loans will continue."
- Also: Deutsche's Vishal Shah issued yet another bullish SolarCity note late on Friday, stating talks with management left him "incrementally more confident that SCTY remains on track to achieve its cost and cash flow break even target set for the year end." He added initial feedback for SolarCity's new loan offering "has been very positive," and that the company "is making good progress in securing financing required to achieve 2016 installation targets."
Mon, May 23, 2:59 PM
- SolarCity (SCTY +8.9%), Vivint (VSLR +5.2%), and Sunrun (RUN +4.7%) are all posting big gains on a day the Nasdaq is up just 0.3% and the 0.1%. The Guggenheim Solar ETF is up 1.8%.
- Vivint announced today it has closed a $75M tax equity investment fund with a new (unnamed) investor. The company says the funds will allow it to install more than 45MW of residential solar systems.
- Meanwhile, Greenbiz reports SolarCity is building a utility-scale system combining solar panels, battery-based energy storage, and a demand response management software system in Hawaii. The system features a 52MW battery, and can send 10MW-13MW to the grid each evening.
- SolarCity was clobbered post-earnings yet again two weeks ago, after the company cut its 2016 installation guidance to 1GW-1.1GW from a prior 1.25GW (compares with 870MW in 2015). 21.7M shares (31% of the float) were shorted as of April 29.
Tue, May 10, 12:47 PM
Tue, May 10, 11:14 AM
- In accord with SolarCity's post-earnings tumble in last night's postmarket session, shares of SCTY have fallen 25.5% today and nearing 52-week lows.
- Installation numbers looked good in the Q1 report -- but not much else following the third straight year of guidance cuts, analysts are saying.
- Patrick Jobin at Credit Suisse has lowered the firm's price target on shares, to $38 from $62 (still 126% upside implied). He's still positive on the stock with an Outperform rating, as he notes the company seems to have to re-prove its business model time and again with various challenges continuing to pop up. The firm expected weak bookings but the cut to guidance was bigger than it expected.
- Meanwhile, Avondale's Michael Morosi lowered his price target to $30 from $40 and downgraded shares to Market Perform. He's waiting for some strategic clarity as the company may be pivoting to a tack that implies lower growth and market share.
- The company missed significantly on cost/watt, Morosi notes -- likely driven by taking low-margin bookings out of its backlog, but he's skeptical about costs levering meaningfully in the rest of the year. His lowered target still implies 79% upside.

Super Curvy
Anthurium plants are very difficult to photograph successfully. This particular one had a beautiful curving leaf with beautiful light on it. It was just a matter of finding the best angle to show off the curve, and at the same time incorporate the warm tones. I took dozens of images from different angles and this is the only one that worked.
When photographing flowers and plants, it can take some effort to find the best angle. Often you do not know whether you were successful until you get home and download. It is not always easy to judge the success of an image by viewing it on your camera's view screen. For some reason it often takes the "big screen" to show you what you really have.
For that reason, I always recommend taking a lot of shots from many different camera angles and heights. Give yourself every opportunity to get great shots. Stalk the plant. Look at it, REALLY look at it, to determine what will give you what you are looking for. Look for complementary colors, leading lines, and pleasing shapes. Explore every angle. Leave no stone unturned and you will be rewarded for your efforts.

Beach Blues
For many people this is a beach weekend. If you are not on a beach somewhere, you might wish you were. Holiday weekends in the summer conjure up visions of lazy days and relaxation. And that is what this image is all about. No hurry, no worries. All is calm.
This simple still life was made late in the day when the beach was already in shadow. That, plus the darkening blue sky, created the blue tones on the sand. I chose to compose this so that the lines went diagonally across the image, and the shell was about on the 1/3rd line. The warmth of the shell against the cool blue of the sand combined to create a cohesive image that says sum-sum-summertime.

Birds Of A Feather
Photographing birds is great fun, and can be very exciting. Of course it can also be pretty darned difficult to get sharp images when they flit past you at lightning speed. So there are times when photographing calm, stationary birds is a nice change of pace.
A flock of captive flamingos was enjoying their water hole and generally moving fairly slowly. It gave me time to study their feathers and look for shapes and swirls that would translate well to an abstract image.
There was nice light on this bird, creating highlights and shadows, and providing a three-dimensional look to the feathers. As photographers we live and die by the light. Great light helps us make great images.
Regarding composition, the swirling feathers comprising the bottom half of the image create a curving base that brings the eye up into the flatter feathers along the bird's back. There is a slight variation of color in the feathers, and hidden under a few of them are lovely patches of strong pink tones.

A Rose By Any Other Name
Roses are beautiful both in color and shape. When you look carefully at a bed of rose bushes, you will find many different variations of shapes. This one had a lovely spiral at the center, and sweeping petals surrounding it.
The color was a lovely soft peach, and that was going to be the version for today's blog. But when I looked at it more carefully, I thought that perhaps it would look softer and more dimensional in black and white. So I began experimenting with it in Lightroom.
Sure enough, this black and white version really appealed to me. It was a quick and easy transition from color to black and white in Lightroom. I used the B&W controls in the "HSL / Color / B&W " section in the Develop module. When you click on B&W in the heading, the image is converted to black and white. But that is just the beginning. By moving the color sliders in that box, you can control the lightness or darkness of any colors in the original image. Lightroom still "sees" the image in color, even though we see it in black and white.
I wanted a very light, ethereal look and because the predominant color was peach, moving the red slider lightened the rose nicely. I also reduced Clarity to -30 to create a softer look. A few finishing touches with the Whites, Blacks, Highlights, and Shadows sliders, and the final image was created.

Mellow Yellow
The Creative and Impressionist Flowers photo workshop ended today, and what a workshop it was! We saw some exquisite flowers at Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania, including gorgeous roses. The participants created some beautiful images and quickly got the hang of new techniques like shallow depth of field and back button focus.
This yellow rose sported some water droplets left over from a morning rain, which added to the beauty of the undulating petals. Shooting straight down on the center of the flower created a circular main subject, while the curving outer petals provided support and added interest.
When doing macro photography of flowers, shallow depth of field enhances the feeling of softness and dimensionality. Not all parts of the image have to be razor sharp, but it helps to have something important sharp, like the small round center in this case.
I use autofocus, and set only one focus point visible in the center of the viewfinder. That enables me to quickly focus on the area I want sharp, knowing that the autofocus will lock onto that exact area. It is quick, easy, and almost foolproof.

Power at Your Fingertips
It's time once again to demonstrate the power of image optimization software. If you are not using some sort of software to extract the latent beauty in your images, you are missing out on a very important element of your photography.
My software of choice is Lightroom, probably the most popular and easiest to use of anything out there. I teach Lightroom workshops several times a year, and it is always so gratifying to help someone FINALLY see how nice their photography really is. Often people are frustrated because their images lack punch or rich colors. Well, you can improve most images in just a matter of minutes, and the software is VERY easy to learn and to use. You do not have to be a computer expert, and you do not even have to like using your computer very much.
This image was brought from being gray and dull to being colorful and detailed in just a matter of minutes. It took only 7 quick changes in Lightroom to get from the Before image to the After image. Click on each image to see it larger, and you will see all the detail brought out in the head, and the color in the wings and the water.
Lightroom uses sliders to increase or decrease different aspects of an image. For this image, I did the following:
1. Cropped the image.
2. Moved the Shadows slider to the right to lighten the shadows.
3. Moved the Whites slider to the right to brighten them.
4. Moved the Clarity slider to the right 30 points.
5. Used the Brush Tool to pinpoint areas on the head and lighten them.
6. Moved the Saturation Slider to the right to intensify colors.
7. Moved the Noise Reduction "Luminance" slider to the right to +30.
So in under 5 minutes a disappointing image, colorless and lacking in contrast, was made much more interesting and is a more realistic representation of what I actually saw.
If you or your camera club is interested in an In-Depth Lightroom workshop, contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com to discuss a small workshop for just your group. These workshops are hands-on, detailed, and filled with a great deal of personalized instruction. Lightroom workshops are generally scheduled from December through March.

Misty Mood
Adding emotion or mood to an image can be a powerful tool. And mist or fog seems to appeal to nearly everyone. It provides a sense of quiet calm and a bit of mystery. Knowing when to expect misty conditions will help you find good shooting spots.
In general, spring and fall provide the ideal weather conditions for misty mornings. When it is quite cool overnight, but warm during the day, mist or fog will often form in the early morning in low-lying areas and along waterways. But it can burn off quickly once the sun comes up, so you have to make your best guess as to where to be before sunrise.
This shot in Jasper National Park in the Canadian Rockies was made at sunrise along a small lake. There was a slight breeze which moved the mist quickly along the lake surface and the scene was constantly changing. I shot many images as the scene morphed in front of my eyes, and this is my favorite. There is plenty of mist to provide that sense of mystery I mentioned, with a bit of an opening to allow the strong autumn colors to blaze through brilliantly.
To pick the mornings with the best chances of mist or fog, check the long-range weather forecast. Find the days that are predicted to have the coolest nights followed by warm days. Those conditions will set things up for you. The cool air overnight will drop below the warm air layer above, and will sit close to the ground. Then as the day begins, the air temperature will start to warm and the mist formed will rise. It will be a pleasant, quiet time to be out photographing, and with any luck Mother Nature will cooperate to provide a wonderful scene before your eyes.

Summer is coming, and while we have started seeing ads for getting our beach bodies in shape for those itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikinis, things are a bit different from a photographer's perspective. For us, it means getting our gear ready so we can stroll the beaches or wander through gardens or roam the highways for some wonderful and unique images.
This is a great time of year to be outside in search of fun in the sun. This image was made while walking on the beach on a sunny afternoon. Don't let bright sunlight deter you from shooting. We hear about the magic light of early morning or late afternoon / evening, and it is indeed beautiful light. But there are great shots to be had when the sun is high in the sky as well.
The main thing to be aware of in mid-day sunshine is shadows. They can be very hard-edged, and also can be quite dark. Look for areas where the darkest shadows are not going to interfere with the main subject OR where they become part of the composition. In this shot, because of my position relative to the sun, there are no serious shadows. There is a slight shadow under the bird's wing but it is a tiny part of the image and does not grab your attention.
Two primary elements make this image work. First, it is an example of a decisive moment. It was taken a split second before the water reached the bird. You know that in the next instant the water will move forward and the bird will either walk or fly away. Second, the strong diagonal line created by the white foam creates a leading line and brings your eye directly to the main subject, the bird.
Supporting elements are the bird's reflection, and the combination of the warm-toned sand against the cool-toned water.

Wild and Wooly
Wildlife is exciting to photograph. But capturing good images can be an elusive target. Often the animals are not where you expect them to be, or they are too far away even for a long lens, or they are hidden in the trees or brush.
So when a good opportunity presents itself, you and your camera HAVE to be ready. This pronghorn antelope in Yellowstone National Park was slowly walking through a large field, not far from the road. It was the perfect opportunity to get some lovely portrait shots of this handsome animal.
Here are some basic pointers to help you get good wildlife images.
-- Shutter Priority (Nikon) or Tv (Canon)
-- Auto Focus
-- ISO 400 for starters (increase as needed for recommended shutter speeds below)
-- Shutter Speed no slower than 1/800 sec. for wildlife, or 1/1250 sec. for birds in flight
-- Aperture will set itself
-- Rapid Burst (the fastest your camera will allow, but fire off only 3 or 4 shots in succession)
-- Continuous Focus (Nikon) or AI Servo (Canon)
-- Back Button Focus (find info on how to set this for your camera body on YouTube or Google)
-- Viewfinder set for only ONE focus point (multiple focus points cause auto focus to be less accurate)
-- Eyes open (catchlights are nice but not mandatory)
-- good body position
-- good head position
-- predict direction of movement (for this image, it helped to be prepared to continue moving to my left since he was walking in that direction)
-- keep your distance (most national parks and other areas have stated minimum distances one must be from any wild animal, which varies based on the animal's running speed / size / aggressiveness; remember, you cannot outrun a charging animal no matter how fit you are)
-- if you have a choice, focus your attention on the healthiest-looking individuals
-- if you have a choice, find a position that will provide the best background (not cluttered or too bright compared to the lighting on the animal)
-- Once you set your camera for Back Button Focus, use it all the time regardless of subject. It is how all cameras should be set out of the factory, and why they are not is a mystery to me.
-- When using Rapid Burst, do NOT shoot the entire burst before removing your finger from the shutter button. Shoot only 3 or 4 shots and then remove your finger from the shutter button. Wait a second or two, and then begin shooting again. This will prevent you from filling the Buffer (which can cause your camera to stop functioning until all the images have been processed by the camera and sensor).
-- Learn exactly what ISO is, and how to use it to your best advantage.
-- Learn and get comfortable with Continuous Focus (AI Servo), and understand how it works.
Using and understanding all this information will catapult your photography to a much higher level very quickly. None of it is hard to learn or to use. Try it, you'll like it!
