Update: A Note About Comments At My Website

By default, visitors to my website are able to comment on posts and articles, and I welcome your comments and questions.

However, earlier this week a reader noted that comments had been turned off on an article he wanted to comment on. That surprised me, but when I looked more closely I discovered that an automatic setting was closing comments a few weeks after posting.

That isn’t what I intended… and I think I have now fixed the problem re-enabled your ability to leave questions and comments.

I’m A Contributor To B&H “Pro Tips” Article On Fall Color

Thank you to B&H Photo for including me in their new article on photographing fall color: Photo Tips and Favorite Gear for Successful Fall Foliage Pictures.

Autumn Color Transition

Excerpt:

“California-based G. Dan Mitchell notes that the color season can last months in California’s Eastern Sierra, given the large variations in elevation, precipitation, range of north/south latitude, and other factors. He explains, “When color is absent in one location, it may be great not far away. In the Eastern Sierra, this often means going to a higher or lower elevation. While aspens can start changing color at higher elevations in the second half of September, some trees at lower elevations may be colorful a full month later.”

“Author of the 2015 book, California’s Fall Color: A Photographer’s Guide to Autumn in the Sierra, Mitchell notes that the Sierra offers a range of fall foliage opportunities far greater than many people realize.”

(About the “color season can last months…” comment. I can often find the first hints of coming autumn color early in September, and even in late August sometimes. I can still find low elevation color in the last half of October.)

Also included in the article – G Dan Mitchell, Bryan Carnathan, Moose Peterson, Dan Bailey, Matt Payne, and Chad DiBlasio

Enjoy!

A Quiet Note About About Holiday Sales

Like many of you, I can be overwhelmed by the holiday advertising, sales, and promotions. On the other hand, many of us do shop at this time of the year and we do want to get the right items at decent prices.

With that in mind, I’m offering one quiet little post here about holiday stuff on the website — and then I’ll mostly try to keep the volume turned down. :-)

  • My photographs are available for purchase in a range of sizes and presentations. Read more at the Sales page. Contact me with questions or to order a print. There is a 10% discount on prints purchased this month — just mention this post when you place your order.
  • Help support my work by making purchases through affiliate links on the blog. These are listed in the sidebar and include B&H Photo and Thinktank. Purchasing through the links will not increase your price, but it does earn a small affiliate fee that helps support this website.
  • From time to time I share special holiday pricing from the affiliates on the Deals page — visit the page, or see see sidebar link for highlights.

And now, back to our regularly scheduled program… ;-)
