Waterfalls, Landscape Photography, and Silliness in Shenandoah National Park

 Today we're going to Shenandoah National Park to get some photos in the snow. I went up there on December 22 on a quick trip because I knew the snow would melt by the weekend after Christmas. I always enjoy going to Shenandoah and see some new stuff every time I go. Come along on this journey with me.

How I Edited My Best Photo of 2020 Using Photoshop

In this video I walk through my editing process for the image I posted on Instagram today. This was a difficult image to process because a portion of the image was badly underexposed. I really like how the final product turned out and hope you'll come along with me on the editing journey. I took this image back in January of 2020...you remember, back before a raging disease shut down the world. This is from Jockey's Ridge State Park in North Carolina. For this I was using the Canon EOS Rebel K2 camera and the basic 28-90 kit lens. This is my favorite image of the year for 2020.

Nine Hole Course Ranking

This started out as a Page but since I'm changing how those are set-up, I'm moving it to a regular post that I will update as I manage to play more nine hole courses.

Since I've played many nine hole courses lately, some of which have been very good, I'm doing a separate ranking of nine hole courses. For a book recently published giving a top 25 list for nine hole courses, click here. I don't agree with every ranking in the book, and I've spoke with the author about that. Anyway, here's my ranking.
