Photoshop World - Boston

Well, two years after I went to my first Photoshop World, in Boston, see Blog Posts Soup2Nuts Adobe Photoshop Lightroom at PSW - Boston and PSW - Boston Keynote, I'll be off there again the Last week in March. The show runs the 25th to the 27th, with a complete 'Lightroom Conference' track this year.

I will be going into Boston on Tuesday the 24th (Preshow day) this year for shooting and meet-ups! Anyone who would like to join me and Rob Sylvan, NAPP Helpdesk answer man and fellow Lightroom Guru from Lightroom Forums, give me a shout!

Hope to see you there!

Walden Pond

A great place to photograph nearly anytime, especially on a bright sunny fall day near peak foliage time. Swimmers and boating fishers a plus. 

Plenty of woods trails, too, including one along an esker. I will definitely be adding to this gallery over time.

Lowell, MA

An interesting city of canals and old factory buildings with plenty of things to photograph. They have a yearly Folk Life Festival in August and are part of our National Parks System. The Gallery includes shots of the Lower Canal Gate House, as at left which is by a three stage lock and images of the loom room in the Boott Cotton Mills Museum which is a very loud space when the are working (even though it is only a few of them running.

Musical Instruments

Yet another new Gallery. This one is of Musical Instruments. Mostly not the usual ones one would see, or unusual versions of ones.

At the left is an old Acadian button and stop accordion played by one of the performers who play it with the Zydeco group from Louisiana called The Pine Leaf Boys. I hope to be adding many more unusual instruments to this Gallery.

My pleasure, Don

Boats

I have three new Galleries all under the Category Boats. There are Sailboats, Power Boats and Other Boats as in the ones at the left.

Most images were taken recently, but a few are older.

I especially like very old ships and boats, as you will see. Enjoy!
