Fall Visit to a Heli-Skiing Paradise: Revelstoke I was too early for the skiing when I passed through Revelstoke, British Columbia this fall.  But with the U.S. Dollar recently at 1.4 Canadian dollars, my brother couldn't resist going with some friends recently.  I included his ski video in a new blog post:   http://activesole.blogspot.com/2016/03/revelstoke-heli-ski-capital-of-world.html #Revelstoke   #britishcolumbia   #canada #travelphotography   Selkirk Tangiers Heli Skiing

Weather Time-lapse: Lenticular Clouds Forming in the Eastern Sierra Lenticular clouds are my favorite weather phenomenon, and my favorite to photograph and produce movies of. Fortunately we get them several times each year.   Here's the complete story of some we had earlier this week through sunset, in photos and video on my blog:   http://activesole.blogspot.com/2016/03/weather-timelapse-lenticular-clouds-eastern-sierra.html #landscapephotography   #weather   #timelapse   #photography   Instagram

The Nik Collection is Now Free Nik Collection by Google has announced that its entire suite of photo editing tools is now free.  When I evaluated the suite in 2013 I found the tools to be interesting and useful, but I wasn't ready to pay the premium to augment my existing workflow.  On the tests i performed from this Summer 2013 trip, I found Nik Color Efex particularly effective on the orange bark of giant sequoia trees.  I'll definitely try it again to see if there have been further improvements since then! #niksoftware   #nikcollection   #google   #photography   #landscapephotography   Originally shared by Jeff Sullivan Images from Sequoia National Park "You cannot learn the message that these trees have for you in merely passing by. A day in their presence passes quickly, and with each moment you will be better able to appreciate their singular beauty and the miracle of their existence.

Light Painting During one of our night sessions in Bodie back in 2014 I tried whipping "El wire" around for a few frames to see if I could make a "smoke" effect.  The technique needs some adjustment on the exposure and post-processing sides, but it was a fun experiment. Our Bodie night photography workshops are more than 3/4 full for 2016; registration for three of our five dates has been closed.  The main remaining dates are July 29 and August 28: http://www.jeffsullivanphotography.com/blog/bodie-night-photography-workshops/ Those two dates were chosen to be adjacent to nights when the park will let visitors stay in the park until 10 pm, so although those nights will of course be more crowded, at least you can get some extra sunset and twilight time in the park. When they're gone, they're gone, but we practice night photography in our other workshops as well: www.JeffSullivanPhotography.com . #nightphotography   #lightpainting   #photographyworkshops   #ca
