Athens Cultural Center - Point-n-Shoot

I taught a four day point-n-shoot photography course focused on people looking to get the most out of their point-n-shoot cameras. The course was offered by the Athens Cultural Center in the Village of Athens. I was lucky to have a wonderful group of buddy photographers eager to learn the basics of digital photography and everyone shown some really good photography talent. I have assembled a image gallery of some of the great work from my students, you can access this gallery from the link below. When you click on Gallery thumb nail a larger image will be displayed and the photographers name will be in the file name of image.

I would like to say thank you to all the students for allowing me to share my photography experience and also like to thank Athens Cultural Center for hosting this.

Lisa and I took Leslie to Athens Dog Park today to meet Carolyn and her three greyhounds (Isabel, Rodeo, and Baxter). We are finding that greyhounds are wonderful breed of dog and their owners are wonderful people. We all had a great time this morning and images from this outing can be found at the following link.

Photoshop Magic

I have never been one to manipulate photos that much in photo shop other than HDR work. I have finally gotten out and did some photography, shooting flowers. After looking at the images they looked just like the flowers I shoot in previous years, nothing new. So into Photoshop I when to try some layer blending magic and this is what I ended up with, which I like and does not look like previous years image.

Greyhounds as Companions

Greyhounds as Companions is the adoption group that we adopted Leslie from and the third Saturday they do Meet and Greats at the PetSmart in Glenmont, NY. We have been attending these since getting Leslie allowing her to socialize with other greyhounds and be ambassador for greyhound adoption. This past Saturday I took my camera to document some of the action.

This is Freddy who was just rescued all the way from Guam, looking really good after a long flight that I would not even make in first class.
