Hey Wayde
Great action photography. Looks like you could stand anywhere you wanted. As with other pictures in your blog, I like the facial expressions that you capture. You might explain to all of us about shooting the grey card to set up the white balance. I'm completely lost on that one and could have maybe used it when I tried some action shots at a basketball game. Looking forward to more wonderful pictures and words of wisdom.

Hi Wayde,

I'm doing well.....back to 100%! Thanks for asking.

Things here have slowed down a bit. With the economy as it is, training tends to get postponed. This is actually allowing me to have a little more normalcy! I'm actually getting caught up on some things that were piling up, so it's working out.

This weekend the olympic trials for kayak and canoe are being held here at the national whitewater center. So, I'm going to go over there with my camera and see what I can find.

The Costa Rica trip is coming up soon. I can't wait to see your pics!

Hey Wayde,

Thanks for taking a peek at a few of my shots. I'll be uploading more once I've settled in. Looking at your Great portfolio, you've covered much of our state already. My ambition is to shoot more variety as well.

Took a look at your exif and it shows you are shooting Canon, we are in the same field, but on different sides of the fence as I shoot Nikon. Both great boxes!

Looking forward to good fellowship.
Dave

Thanks, Wayde!

I guess that would mean my bear picture literally was a Kodak moment.

I appreciate you getting back to me on my question.

Is Spring coming to Anchorage, yet, or are you still shoveling out like we did this morning?
MN (at least where I am south of the cities), got a good 5" of really wet, highly treacherous slippery snow. I'm looking forward to Spring.

Happy Vernal Equinox and a beautiful "however you celebrate" time of year,

Thanks Wayde!
I'm actually pretty close to back to normal. I actually went to the gym tonight!

It's my background, Wayde. (My calving photo.)

I can't tell you how envious I am of you being out there. I really miss AK... I made it as far as Tok and ended up being called back to the Twin Cities in '99 before I could get any further into the state on my "find where I want to live and let the Great Pyrenees roam free in the snow" jaunt.

I ended up moving to Juneau in 2000 and never regretted it. I took a photo of a bear standing up in foliage, but with the shadows in the scruff I'm having trouble bringing the encounter with it into the forefront. Any suggestions, or do you need me to upload it for you for viewing? Thank you for your kind words. I'll try and get some other photo's uploaded shortly.

You're avian photos are incredible, btw.

Wayde the CD was great and it was great to see all of the group again. For me it was the start of a great adventure in Photography. I have been having so much fun with it since the trip. I would love to come back up in a year or so and it would be great if some of the others did as well we need a reunion trip. I am SO SAD I am not able to go to Costa Rica but it will all work out. I am looking forward to seeing some of your pic from your trip. I have been looking into Glacier National Park for a week or so this fall. I think it would be a cool trip for me to take Mom on.
THanks again for the GREAT memories and friendship I look forward to meeting up with you on a future trip some where.
