...Roadside Nature

For the past 55 years, I have been paralyzed from the waist down with only partial use of my right arm.
This has not really prevented me from a ''normal'' life, and I retired after almost thirty years of teaching high school sciences. I was never an athletic type person, so the lack of playing sports never really bothered me Top

...How To Be A Good Critiquer
by Lois Wakeman (forum contributor) |

People use the forums both for sharing their experiences and pleasure at capturing an
image, and to get feedback on their work. Both purposes are equally valid, but it helps everyone to know why an image was posted. This both avoids any unintentional offence, and saves everyone time.

...Writing Outdoor Articles
by Tony Mandile |

The outdoor writing business is a competitive one and doesn't pay near as well as the travel and some
other markets. So if anyone plans to try their hand at it, don't plan on becoming a millionaire for a few decades at least -- if ever. When I first began in this business, most articles were solicited by ME to editors, in either the form of a completed 'script or with a descriptive query letter. Once editors saw my work a few times, they knew what they would get, so the letters could be less descriptive, basically just a brief outline of the article idea.

I've touched my camera, my hiking poles & my kayaking paddles for a total of about 6 times since the beginning of summer. We've ended up doing everything for everyone else except for ourselves. So, tomorrow, I don't care what has to be done, what needs to be done or what should be done.... I am taking off and walking down the street wearing my binoculars, wearing my camera, holding my paddles, wearing my PFD and also holding my hiking poles. Because if you don't do something for yourself every once in a while and feel real again, you won't be able to do something for someone else.
challenging section of the Mekong River, ''The Mekong Gorges of Tibet and Northern Yunnan''. The section was not without its delays and dramas yet with perseverance and determination we managed to overcome all obstacles. Besides encountering permit problems and having most photos destroyed in a life threatening swim down long rapids, we have also had technical difficulties in downloading digital photos while in China due to the outdated software available here. Nevertheless we would like to get this latest update out to you all just to let you know that we are still on the move and on track.
This action eliminates those extra pounds that the camera adds. It is based on a technique on Avondale's Secret's of the PS Masters featuring Jeff Schewe.
There are member's entries in the Wildlife, Macro and Landscape categories.
