The 2017 Rocky Mountain Summer Photography Workshop is under way! \u00a0 We have had a great time so far. \u00a0Our first group has finished and it is time for our second group to arrive. \u00a0I have been so busy, I haven’t had much time to go through all of my images yet, but here area \u00a0few. \u00a0We \u00a0have experienced sunrises, wildlife including moose, elk, marmots, squirrels, chipmunks, mountain scenics, waterfalls, cascades, wildflowers, butterflies, hiking trails, and so much more. We also had a couple of wildlife visits right at our lodge, including elk and bear.<\/p>\n

A Note About Making Backups:<\/strong> I also had a frustrating afternoon that is worth mentioning. \u00a0The USB drive where I load all my photos failed. \u00a0It appears to have a corrupted file system and shuts down randomly. Now that WOULD be a disaster if that was the only place where I put my photos. \u00a0My standard workflow includes downloading the photos from my memory card to my photo hard drive, and then backing the photos up to a 2nd hard drive, and only then deleting the photos off the memory card ready to take more photos. So, when my photo drive died, I was able to switch over to my backup drive and all was fine. If I had not been diligently backing up my photos each day, I would have lost all of my photographs taken during this workshop. Fortunately, all is good, and I have yet another drive that I am using as my new backup drive. \u00a0Keep this incident in mind as you do your photography. \u00a0If you don’t make backups frequently, you are living dangerously. \u00a0And cloud backup strategies are often useless while traveling because many locales have wifi that simply is not fast enough to support uploading many gigabytes worth of photographs.<\/p>\n

We’d love to have you join us in 2018! \u00a0<\/strong>If you would like to join us in 2018 (since 2017 Summer and Fall are SOLD OUT), go to our 2017 web page and click on the bright green box <\/a>to express your interest in joining us. \u00a0You’ll love this photographic adventure! \u00a0Those who express interest before the dates are announced will be given the first chance to register.<\/p>\n

Here are a few photos from our travels. \u00a0 Again, I really haven’t had much time to go over all my photos yet.<\/p>\n
