Waterfalls in OR Photo opps in AZ
Most all Oregon noteable waterfalls are in the Cascade Range. Due east of Honeyman Lake (Florence), the closest would be "Salt Creek Falls" , 20 miles east of Oakridge.

The "biggest bang for your buck" would be Silver Falls State Park where ten waterfalls are within an afternoon hike from one another. There are at least 3 waterfalls that you walk behind. There are two campgrounds there, one that accomodates RV's. Great place to stay a couple of days or more.

I've been to all these Oregon waterfall locations. Here are links to my photos:

Video Editing

Probably most of you are into still pictures and not video but it anyone knows of a good SIMPLE editing software I would like to hear your recommendations. Adobe is well know but too complicated for me. I want something simple that does not change the original file, that can cut, crop, add sound and titles and work with AVI and have burning capabilites. I was told an Best Buy that the free microsoft Movie Maker does not work with AVI. There are a lot of softrware out there but one never really knows what one is getting. I don't newd all the bells and whistles. Thank you for your help-.

Seach UGG for "monitor calibration". There is weath of previous discussion, advice and information sources.


Does calibrating the monitor only pertain to accurate colors, or does it give accurate exposure as well?


It pertains to exposure also. Monitors are usually very bright because that makes them look great to the buyer but that means that for adjusting exposure on a photo...they will be dark...you are getting fooled.

I calibrated my monitor and found that it was MUCH too blue and MUCH too bright...

It was a real wake up call when I saw my colors for real....yuk.... :)

Going to California on vacation!!! I need some advice, please.

I am going to California next month for a week's vacation and would like some advice about taking pictures - pictures I just HAVE to have, don't waste my time on - that kind of things. It's my first visit to the state. Now I'm just a simple country girl and am a little nervous about a big city, so what would you suggest?


Fullmoon ..... here is a trip my wife and I took a year ago, traveling down I-5 from Oregon to Calif 101, destination was the scenic Santa Ynez Valley where I grew up ...... http://grb.smugmug.com/2011/May-Trailer-Trip

External Hard Drive Storage
Considering the "given" that all hard drives fail eventually, am I correct in assuming the less they are used the longer they will last? Is it a reasonable assumption that an "external" hard drive has a much longer shelf life than the hard drive of a computer under constant use? If we only use the external drive to store photos (only turning them on to backup photos once a week or once a month) could we expect maybe 10 years from them?

Bucket List
I_take_photos wrote:
I wold like to vist all 50 states as part of my bucket list. I have 8 to go. After visiting some I have learned of places (photo ops) I have missed. The states I have left are Vermont, Maine, Del., Md, Ore., Wash., Montana, Idaho, and Alaska. Please advise of must stops on a photo tour so that I won't be saying, "That was just a mile away from where I was.... and I didn't go there..... because I did not know about it...."


A "must see" in Montana if you like history is Little Bighorn Battlefield: http://grb.smugmug.com/2009/September/Little-Bighorn-Battlefield/9823812_qTmG9g#!i=669125234&k=Jbjgs

You know what they say about great minds!

Yes, there are things that MUST be done. While there are some economical ways to get started, you have to spend the money to get the equipment. At a minimum - two lights, two umbrellas, two light stands, and one reflector as a bonus. Softboxes are better, but learn with the less expensive umbrellas.

OH - paint the walls black or 18% gray! :-)

One thing I should have mentioned, a flash meter is worth its weight in gold.

AS you would expect, it measures the output of the flash and displays that an an f/stop. Most will show the percentage of the exposure that is flash so you can balance ambient and flash - that is really useful outside where you can use your shutter to affect the background and the aperture to affect the flash exposure.

Some more expensive units come with a Pocket Wizard transmitter built-in, but that is hardly a necessity.

Studio Light Question
Thanks folks. I will experiment with your theories. Regarding the need for a flash meter ...... if I'm restricted to one shutter speed and three F stops it would seem the flash meter would be of no benefit. (I only have three choices of settings anyway) I guess the question is why am I restricted to F8, F9, F10 and shutter of 1/200. (1/250 is out of sync) If I try any other settings they result in over or under exposure. (also, each strobe is set at minimum output) Is it a case of my strobes being too close to the target?

Monitor settings
CaptainC wrote:
They will want accurate color. There is no such thing as a setting for a specific purpose - just a setting that is accurate. Kinda like being pregnant - it is a yes or no situation.

As has been said many times, you MUST calibrate your monitor - the one you use for processing your images - forget the other one as the CPU can handle only one profile at a time.

The X-Rite products are currently considered the best of the monitor calibrators and profilers, so spend the $500 and you will be golden.

CaptainC ..... is the calibration of the monitor strictly for correct color or does it include having correct brightness/darkness?
