Well I am back home from my photoshoot yesterday up in Rocky Mountain National Park and I am one very hurting unit…damn I am sore as hell! My feet and knees are wanting to divorce me and my back, well it seems to have gotten up and left lol The colors up there were really odd, a lot of areas still green, some past prime and are brown, and some in prime. The lack of wildlife in the park was rather unexpected. Saw only one herd of Elk, way far out of my lens’ reach. Luckily, I took daskibum ’s advice and went in on Hwy 7, which lead me on a chase on some backroad for golden Aspen. And along the road I happened to discover a whole other area of Rocky Mountain National Park which I have never even heard of, by the name of “Wild Basin Trailhead”..and some of my best shots came from this area, as the light was beyond perfect! Never mind the fact, this place is pretty secluded and no one was around. From there I traveled into Estes Park and was greeted by one of the biggest Bull Elk I have ever seen. Harem and all, not that it’s an odd site during Rut season, but him staring at my car, bugling, and looking like he was going to charge me while I hung out my window, was. He was gigantic. There were also 2 other bulls, one with a harem and one alone….the one alone made a brilliant model…he was younger and smaller, however still quite large….and let me shoot away as I pleased, not even minding me. After photographing him I yelled to him as he looked up at me “Thanks dude for modeling me for me! I appreciate it! Be careful of those other males, they’re pretty mean!” lol I have never seen so many other professional photographers in my life as I did in the park. Had a couple follow me around, one getting out to shot with me with his Hasselblad H2 (omg drool fest!) saying “I hope you don’t mind me kind of following you around, you seem like you know the spots”, to which I replied, “Nope, as long as you let me see that and hold that damn camera!” He was from Vancouver, CA, and before i knew it I had this beast in my hands….damn…what a camera….maybe someday when I win the lottery I can afford a $39,000 Medium Format dslr….a lotta people, a lotta random convos with other photographers, and I have a helluva lotta shots….400 some odd RAW files to go through. Sooooo on that note, stay tuned! And I hope you all are out shooting and enjoying the colors! Unless you’re down under, go surfing or…something lol / —-—-—-—-—-——- Now on some with some other news :) Well it turns out that yours truely has been accepted to Alamy Stock Agency and needless to say I am frickin thrilled to death! I already sell on some micro stock sites, but honestly I have never put up my best shots on them, I always wanted those for myself, and I really didn’t want them to go for Royalty Free. Well, being I was just accepted to one of the best and largest Rights Managed agencies, now I can upload my best shots…..this is gonna rock and is quite an accomplishment for me. A big step, as they are VERY hard to get on with! But I did it! YAY go me!!!!!

Yay, first journal here :) Firstly my thanks to all those of you who have favorited or commented on my photos, it is always a joy to receive some reaction and feedback, even more so when it is so positive. Then the season, this autumn was one of the most beautiful falls I had the joy to experience in the last couple of years – the light was often fantastic and the colors of the trees were intense and stayed that way for a long time. Even now that November comes with bad(der) weather it is still a fascinating mood, and once I have shaken off my little bout with the stomach flu I’ll be back out shooting – and hopefully thinking of preparing some of my best results for posting and sharing here. I already have a huge back-log and the many opportunities I saw this year haven’t let it shrink to a smaller size :D + And now something cool to watch and listen too And more And even more

You’ve no doubt noticed Group News no longer goes out as bubblemail – it appears instead in the right hand ‘feed’ area of the Activity Monitor and disappears again all within minutes so news is being missed!!! It gets directed over to the appropriate Forum area of each Group BUT of course not many people go searching Forums for info … SO … PLEASE, if you are interested in having an opportunity to hang your Rusty Crusty work for FREE in the Tap Gallery in November (here in Sydney) go to this link and see what’s afoot … it is very exciting! Steve McLaren is offering 2 places at his “I’m Rusted, I’m Crusted, I’m Falling to Bitz” exhibition … more details at the link. And today’s bit of excitement for me has been finding my image Toward the Lilypond receiving a Photo of the Day award at Shutterbugs.biz in the “Theme: Magic Light” category. Fagan Park does it again (with the help of some mist!)

Almost to the end of the fall foliage (autumn colors) here in Michigan. Rain and wind the last few days have fallen a good share of the leaves but there are still a few available. While running errands today I was able to get some great shots.

Through my cyber travels i have come across many photographers work that has been stolen and used without their knowledge / And just recently i have found a site that tracks back photos and shows where they are being used on the net / http://tineye.com/ / you simply enter the image address (URL) or choose an image from your HD and the site looks for it in their archives / it even works for images that have been cropped after being stolen or partially photoshopped this is a good example / http://tineye.com/search/0ac89241ed4c8ccd104094f6412ded2e0acfc2d7 / The original is the profile pic of someone who friend requested me on Facebook as something seemed odd/funny about it I put the image through Tineye.com / and you can see the results Another image site which you might like (if you use flickr) is / http://clipyourphotos.com/FP / they serch through the Flickr Front page history for your photos that might have been featured there that you missed any way I hope these are useful for people Cheers Richard
The week is ending as mind-blowing as it began on Monday! Yesterday, “Country Heaven”: !http://images-1.redbubble.net/img/art/fra…
The week is ending as mind-blowing as it began on Monday! Yesterday, “Country Heaven”: was featured in ANIMAL PHOTOGRAPY and “Autumn Zen”: was featured in A GARDEN SOMEWHERE ....and just now as I am typing this, “Augenschmaus”: got featured in ALL OREGON USA . To top it all off I got my VERY FIRST FEATURED MEMBER yesterday on ANIMAL PHOTOGRAPHY – wow – a little much to handle for this shy little german gal here in Texas! LOL… Thanks so very much everyone! In the few weeks I’ve been here, Red Bubble has been such a rewarding and inspiring experience – the quality of work presented here is fantastic (and intimidating) but most of all inspirational. So thanks to all the great artists who display their best here at RB and thanks to all the wonderful new friends I’ve met, talented and funny and encouraging, and thanks to all my old webshots buddies who’ve really made me feel so much a home an comfortable on this site! I am just now starting to get into various groups – but that’s all a bit overwhelming, soo oo much going on, features, challenges, featured members etc, etc, and then SOOO many groups altogether, it’s easy to get carried away and loose sight of things and become a robot – don’t want that to happen! Putting on the breaks and trying to take it slowly – the most fun experiences so far have been the “chance encounters” with new friends, sometimes some friendly bantering, and friendly and heartfelt invites to existing groups- very personally rewarding too because you feel like you have more of a connection with the group and the members. Enough talking now – I totally forgot: YEEEHAWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!! And thanks again ya’ll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dankeschoen!!! Marita
