Tree of Utah #2
On I-80 at mile-marker 36 is this little tree. I went out this morning at 5am to take this photograph. I got there about 30 minutes before the sun cleared the horizon. This image was made about 10 minutes before sunrise. This is the sweet light. I hope you have all seen it by now.

Thanksgiving Challenge - Extra Credit
Pretend you are photographing a big assignment for Gourmet Magazine. Photograph the creation and finished product of your Thanksgiving Feast. Concentrate on LIGHT, getting focus SHARP, good tight composition, and last but not least, TELL ME A STORY. Shoot the people making the food, some portraits of the cook/chef would be nice.
This should be FUN for both you and the people that you are photographing. If you get in the way and are making things worse for everyone, consider backing off and shooting the wide shot. Also consider *HELPING* a little bit. It will go a long way to making those people who are actually *making* the dinner happy with you.
Also, a nice image of the table with all the food spread out, the family in their holiday finery preparing to chow-down would be fun.
Good luck and don't get too sick!

International stock image agency announces $150,000 grant program for photographers
Article by Jason Segarra on November 11, 2009 at 21:35:26
Aspiring and professional shutterbugs alike will be dusting off the digital SLR soon as Seattle-based stock image supplier Getty Images has recently announced that it will continue its grant programs in 2010, giving photographers the chance to compete for up to $20,000 in winnings.
The grant programs, now entering their fifth year, provide funding for student and professional photographers as well as non-profit organizations to help produce significant works of art with the increased freedom that comes from an unconditional budget.
The grant for editorial photography will honor five professional photojournalists with $20,000 awards and four student photographers with $5,000 each. The Grants for Good program, which requires that participants seek out the guidance of a creative agency, will award two grants worth $15,000 a piece.
"As we are all aware, these are trying times for our industry and many of the traditional resources that would have given financial support to photojournalists have all but dried up," claims vice president of photo assignments for the company Aidan Sullivan. "That makes awards like this even more crucial, as without the grants, the photojournalists'' important work may never have been seen."
