Nice little video, Bob – simply explained, and a great reference point for anyone looking to get up early and make the most of these fantastic photo opportunities.

  Hi Carolyn: Thanks for the kind words. Hope you are well. I was plugging your book during a Q&A after my presentation at the New England Conference of Camera Clubs convention (whew, that’s a mouthful!) last weekend! cheers, Bob

“Meteorologist Bob.” Next comes “Astrologist Bob.” Then there’s “Phycologist Bob.” We photographers need ‘em all!

  Chuck: Next is Pharmacologist Bob, where I dispense medical marijuana and anti-depressants to editorial photographers….it’s a growth industry! Hope you’re well. cheers, Bob

I can’t watch your movies. I have quicktime 7.6.9. Is that to old? It seems to start, but I don’t see anything I would love to!
Regards
John

  John: That should work. Don’t know what the problem is. I’d try to update to the latest version of QT (if that isn’t it) and try again. I’m guessing you’re on a PC, so it could be a myriad of reasons. Sorry for the inconvenience! Bob

      John: If you have Quicktime, it should work. I don’t know why some PCs, even with Quicktime, lock up on this.

Excellent video Bob. I don’t believe I’ve seen such an effective cogent explanation of such an important topic, at least for landscape shooters.

I was in your Maine Travel Photography class last year. Looks like you had another great experience this year, though sans quite so much rain. You’re a gifted teacher. Thanks for sharing.

Hey Bob, I can’t view it either and I did download the latest QT version. As you know, I use a PC, so guess that must be the issue. Is this your way of nudging us PC users toward the dark side?

Not much fog here in Houston when I photograph my clients, but I have a dream of taking a couple to The Golden Gate Bridge for a portrait. And when I am able to make this trip happen, I will make sure we are in our spots way before sunrise to catch any fog that might be there.

Thanks for the tip.
