More Updates from Brad
Hello there. Me again. Scott has been in Portland since yesterday morning and spent the day shooting with Laurie Excell. Today is the next stop on his Lightroom Tour (fingers crossed that this one will run smoothly), and he gave away a free ticket to the seminar to a lucky follower on Twitter last night.
For those wondering about Scott’s computer, it was a hard drive failure (as he always says, it’s not if your drive fails, it’s when!). And, yes, he did have everything backed up with Apple’s Time Machine. I’m sure he’ll give you the full run-down when he gets back next week.
One of the things on said hard drive was an embarrassing photo, which was supposed to be for yesterday’s blog. You’ll will get to see that next week
For those keeping up with Photo Walk news, I’m posting daily over on the Photo Walk Blog. Swing by and check it out!
For fans of Joe McNally, he just posted a video on YouTube from when he was testing out the Nikon D3. If you like cameras, elephants, frogs, birds, or snakes, you might enjoy it. You might also catch a glimpse of me. I’m the guy wearing the red shirt and goofy hat when our friend Suzie the Elephant was with us in the desert. That was a great day
And lastly, there’s a new episode of DTown TV up, which includes tips on AF Priority modes, features on the new D5000, info on Picture Control settings, and a tip on shutter speeds when using studio lights.
That’s it for today. Have a happy Memorial Day Weekend!

Great video of Joe – thanks for the heads up.
Is the St. Petersburg, FL walk canceled? It is no longer listed.
It’s listed as Saint Petersburg, not St. Check out the next to last paragraph in my Photo Walk blog from yesterday (http://worldwidephotowalk.com/blog/2009/05/21/updates-for-521/) for a tip on looking up cities
Hey Brad,
A little help please. Updating the walk page is far less then intuitive. Is a resource page available somewhere?
Thanks
Charlie – Once you’re logged into your leader page, you should see a video at the bottom that RC created to help people set their page up. I watched it, and it’s very helpful.
Duh! Sorry. Thanks. Still haven’t received a confirmation e-mail.
Must be the season for hard drives. Had to replace the one in my imac last week.
Hi Brad, I wrote this before some time on D town TV… I love DTownTV show very much, but I can’t watch it anymore now. Video is always loading but then it write a message that video was not found. I deleted history, cache and I tried to watch it on apple’s safari browser, Opera, Mozila… but with no success…Please help me. If you have any idea how to solve my problem I would be very happy. I only saw 5 episodes.. The new ones didn’t cause of that error…
Excuse my english please. I am not a native, I am from the Czech republic, Europe:-)
Thanks a lot. Bye. R.
D-Town TV is available as a free video podcast in the iTunes store. Can you subscribe to it this way?
You betcha!
Looking into it…
For those of us in the good old US… It would be helpful if the Photowalk cities had the option of being sorted by state. That way if your city was full, you might be able to find another location within striking distance without having to scroll through the entire list. Yea, I know that you can kind of do that with the map view… but as Google has proved over and over… just plain text is the fastest and easiest. Come to think of it some kind of country/state (province?)/city sort/listing might be useful to everyone no matter where they are.
Looking forward to my walk here in Philadelphia (morning walk… and full) just trying to find something else within striking distance for the afternoon/evening.
Hey if scott can read this, and you get the chance, go visit the columbia river gorge just 45 minutes east of portland. Welcome to the great northwest.
Oh Brad. You never want to be the guy in the red shirt. Even in the new Star Trek that’s just a death sentence. Glad you survived, man.
I have registered for a photowalk in the afternoon and today tried to register for another location on the morning. It would not let me! Only one per person??
laurie excell is a great photographer! scott has all the fun!
