Eleanor's PhotoBlog - Issue #11

 

Welcome to the eleventh edition.      11/12/2006
After gathering the information for the Resource Page for the Wenatchee, WA camera club (Photography Association of Wenatchee - PAW) I've come to the realization that the page is now too long and some entries don't go into enough detail.

I'll have a chance here to tell more about my personal involvement with photography. If you haven't visited my web site "Eleanor's Travels", here's the HOME PAGE.

Flightseeing over the Mitchell Plateau in the NW corner of Australia (October 2006). Another slideshow in the Australia Galleries Series. This was very exciting because there were no doors on the helicopter! Also I was cooler for that 30 minutes ... relatively speaking that is. The day was well over 100F.

Let me introduce you to the black and white photography of Mike Barnhart of Stehekin, WA. I maintain Nancy and Mike's site although I did not design it. I am most impressed with the set of Water and Landscape photographs. Start Here

Anyone interested in a wonderful photography trip to the Alps in Europe? I think I've found it. Back when I was just 20 my parents gave me a trip to Europe and the Alps region was my favorite! And as you know, I need new images (too many red rocks of the SW and rocks in general), a totally new locale. Travel Images offers just what I need. Selfishly I'm hoping to find another 1 - 2 participants to get the total participants up to 6 or 7. This is a great itinerary and I'm very impressed so far with my communication with John Baker, the leader. Here's his HOME page.
John's Europe and the Alps Photo Essay.

I hope the Alps aren't melting away as badly as the Canadian Rockies.

He's in New Zealand right now and I'm jealous!

P.S. I'm getting a new knee in January ... I'll strive to be ready for this trip ...

In the next couple of days I'll be preparing prints for a local gallery.... mostly winter shots.

Saturday Nov. 19: I've completed the Miscellaneous Slideshow of left-overs from the Australia trip. I'll bet you'll be almost able to feel the intense heat.

I received this photo from another on the trip. I hope she doesn't mind that I like my version on the right much better ... toning down the highlights, opening the shadows and cropping the excess rock on both sides.

Mark, our guide was helping me into Tunnel Creek, in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.
