Sorry for sending another email on such a short time interval, but I wanted ya'll to know that as of yesterday evening the

Ancient Bristlecone Pine Workshop only has 3 spaces left.

I also wanted to let you know of two new webinars in the making and encourage you to join the interest list(s) - if you're interested, of course!

• Solar Photography + Catching the International Space Station
• Photo Manipulation for the Night Photographer

Finally, I really dropped the ball in reminding you that this Saturday at 8:38 PM the full moon will be the largest (and brightest) that it will be for the rest of your lifetime.  Use your telephoto lens and snap a shot for posterity. This is not an organized event.  Don't expect it to look 5 times as big or 10 times as bright... the increase is quite modest, but capture it now and I'll let you know when a "tiny" full moon occurs and you can compare shots.  These settings should work: f/9, ISO 200, 1/100 to 1/200th of a second.  Or stop down less and shoot faster.

Bristlecone Pine Workshop Info

Registration is THROUGH POINT REYES.

The three night workshop commences Friday, August 17, 2012 and ends Monday, August 20th.

The workshop includes lodging (dorm style), 3 GREAT meals a day, instruction and on-site photography in one of the most interesting places in the world. The Ancient Bristlecone Pine trees - the oldest known living organisms on the earth are gnarled and bent by the fierce winter conditions and the slow growth of a short season.

Our home base will be the Crooked Creek Research station a mere 3 miles from Patriarch Grove of trees and just a few air miles from Bishop California (though it's a one hour drive!)
