A short post today with two reminders. 1. I updated the blog’s table of contents again. If you haven’t looked at it, please do. In the TOC, I list the places I’ve blogged about along with links to the blog entry and the image gallery. It also has a collection of links to other resources [...]

Evansville, Indiana photo ops
The PITCA convention was held and we stayed at the Aztar Casino Hotel in downtown Evansville – right on the Ohio River. I enjoyed the parts of the convention that I attended – it’s amazing how knowledgeable people are. But I also used some time while Lynn was busy with trivet things to explore the area looking for photo ops.
Ravine Gardens State Park
I had never heard of Ravine Gardens State Park until Lynn mentioned it to me after reading about it in our Florida guidebook in the St. Augustine section. This 59 acre park is about 35 miles south west of St. Augustine in Palatka, Florida and about 90 miles north east of the Orlando area.
Another Central Florida Wildflower post

Flower baskets & street lights
Photo ops are everywhere. I’m convinced that we often don’t see them just because we’ve grown so used to what’s in front of our eyes.
The Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow (Disney’s EPCOT)
The EPCOT theme park is a place where the entire family can have fun, while at the same time providing a large and varied number of photo ops for the photography enthusiast.
Red buds and blue spring sky
High above against the blue spring sky, mighty trees carry out their life purpose. A photographer should notice and share.
Florida tree colors
We don’t get a lot of color in our fall foliage but beginning around this time of year, nature tries to make up for it. It can make for some nice photo-ops if you keep an eye out for it.
Going retro – or a recent experience with severe “film deja vu”
So, am I going to abandon my digital tools and revert to the good old days of Film? Absolutely not. It was fun to play with the camera and it brought back a lot of memories. But we’ve come a long way and the F4S is going on my shelf to look at. I won’t be looking through it too often.
A Focus bracketing / stacking experiment
Focus stacking software can give the photographer complete control over depth of field and background appearance and enables optimal image quality results.
