My Photo Guides

On the evening of March 28, Uranus will be very close to Venus, appearing to be less than 1/10th moon width apart (which makes my photo above of the moon in total eclipse next to Uranus unexpectedly relevant). Venus will be visible first, bright in the… http://www.jeffsullivanphotography.com/blog/2018/03/27/astrophotography-opportunites-march-28-april-2-2018/

As my Yosemite workshop approached in November 2017, I shared the following note with my customers: “The weather forecast couldn’t be better for my Yosemite Fall Colors workshop this coming Wednesday through Sunday!

Yosemite's El Capitan in the Fall Yosemite Valley always rocks in the fall! I pulled over and it was overcast with little going on, but I had seen the colorful dogwood tree, and I had a hunch that the weather could break... http://yourshot.nationalgeographic.com/photos/11826350/ I'll be back in Yosemite pursuing waterfalls, blooming dogwood trees, and moonbaows by the light of the moon, from April 27 - May 1: http://www.jeffsullivanphotography.com/blog/yosemite-national-park-photography-workshops/ #landscapephotography #Yosemite #workshops #California http://on.natgeo.com/2FsoMWw

*Exploring the Dunes in Death Valley * On one particular trip to Death Valley I experienced stunning side-light on the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes in Death Valley National Park, California. This really drove home to the point that even the most common of iconic locations can have subtle lighting conditions that are very specific to astronomical conditions such as sun angle. I plan all of my photography trips and workshops around specific astronomical bonuses. I'll be back in the park April 9-12: http://www.jeffsullivanphotography.com/blog/death-valley-photography-workshop-2013/ http://on.natgeo.com/2FlDeMp #landscapephotography #california #death_valley #adventure http://on.natgeo.com/2FlDeMp

Vero Reworking Broken Social? Over the years there seems to be some burnout on social media sites. My recent Instagram views are down, Facebook plateaued long ago (and my Page declined), Twitter has been more work than it's probably worth. But there's a hot spot on the horizon: after only a few days and 12 posts, my photographs get 90 likes on the Vero app for smartphones. Social media algorithms filtering and post distribution often work against average users: suppress your contacts’ views of your posts, or even holding post distribution hostage in exchange for payment. Vero says they don't filter what you see. What I'm seeing there over the past few days is my post likes (and I assume views) doubling daily! Who knows what they'll be a year from now Google sure changed a lot in its first year. But if they become "the next Instagram", or a better one, as they intend, I'll be glad that I checked it out early.. See you on Vero? http://get.vero.co/vero
