Episode #400! Next Stop... ???
The 400th episode! Cool milestone. THANK YOU for the support, comments, and shares.
It’s been 3+ years since I posted the first video that ultimately became the In The Field/In Post series. It seems unimaginable this is the 400th in the series. The show has come a long way. I’ve certainly learned a lot about video, and about audio, along the way. And photography of course - that’s always the common thread.
So… where to next? I’m not fully settled on the future of In The Field/In Post. Will the series continue as is? Will field adventures fold into a more varied stream of videos? I’d like your help charting a course. Please spare a moment and take the poll in the video. And, as always, comments below the video are always welcome.
Thanks again. See you in 2019!

Going to Antarctica via Ushuaia? Take an extra day in Argentina and hike the trail from Playa Susana.
It took several visits to Rehoboth Beach to catch the soft glow of sunrise on the boardwalk.
There are photo opportunities all along the hike to Emerald Pools in Zion National Park.
A break in the Oregon rains meant some camera fun at Strawberry Hill on the Oregon Coast.
The sea stacks on Bandon Beach in Oregon never fail to please. Join me in the field for a visit to this iconic beach.
Reaching San Simeon Point, also marked as Donnay Point on some maps, is an easy out and back hike from Hearst San Simeon State Park, California.
Join me on the Rim Trail in Bryce Canyon National Park for a hike from Sunset Point to Inspiration Point.
I had the whole beach to myself at Arroyo Del La Cruz on a quiet Saturday afternoon in May. Join me in the field along the California coast.
The sky is gray, the tides are dull, and the fog is thick. What’s a photographer to do? Pivot.

Can’t capture at golden hour? Use Lightroom’s Calibration tool or ON1 Photo RAW’s Channel Mixer to boost vibrance in your mid-day landscape images.
Stuck with harsh, unflattering mid day light? There are some steps you can take in post-processing to draw out color and depth.
Even when the preview on your camera or the unprocessed RAW looks terrible, don’t dismiss the image!
Watch over my shoulder as I work on a new image. In my Live Edit videos, I share my entire start-to-finish workflow using a photo that I’ve never worked on before.
I have a little recipe I’ve used for years with Curves to add a twilight color to my sunset and sunrise photos. It’s simple to do and targeting just the sky in a photo has never been easier.
Many of the photos I captured in Bryce Canyon needed color tweaks and corrections. I put Lightroom’s new Color Mixer through its paces to fix color issues.
Sometimes the ocean doesn’t cooperate with photographers. In one shot, the waves on the left look great. In another, it’s the right side that looks great. The solution? Composite! I’ll share my approach.
In my Live Edit videos, I process an image I’ve never worked on from start to finish, sharing my thought process and reasons behind choices along the way.

He also can't help getting his feet wet photographing at the beach.
The brilliant light lasted merely minutes… though while it did Valley Of Fire State Park lived up to its name.
