Azore Gigabytes

After 8 days in the Azores, my hard drives are full and my computer has grinned to a halt! I leave the Azores with over 200GB worth of Images saved to my drives. The Nikon D800's Raw files prove to be both amazing and overwhelming when it comes to workflow and file handling.

Shooting Raw on this trip was not even a question. Why when you have the ability to shoot at 36 MP would you not? I can't wait to get my hands on my new Pentax 645Z and then I will truly experience the frustration the "spinning circle of death" on my Mac!

Ok that is enough camera Geek for now.

Here are some more shots from our 8 days on the Island!!! More to come over the next week.

Gusting in the Azores

Gusting in the Azores

The wind has been blowing for 2 days straight here on the Island of Faial. Gusting up to 25knots throughout the day, the constant wind made it hard to stand at times. Today we drove to the oldest part of Faial, Ribeirnha, and discovered 2 different churches from the 1600's. The churches are still standing, but they are no longer in use today. The towers are barely standing, but the flowers and trees have over taken the buildings allowing you to take some spectacular images.

We also visited the Lighthouse in Ribeirnha. The lighthouse which is no longer in use, is slowly crumbling to the ground and now a newer solar panel light is all that remains to protect boaters from the cliffs!

Beautiful Bitterroot

Beautiful Bitterroot

The Sunset tonight in the Bitterroot was spectacular. Pebbles, the New Paster Mule and newest member of the Richardson family, seems like she is settling into her new life in Montana. I just couldn't resist snapping some shots of her. She really adds to the Pasture!

Photographs taken with a Nikon D4s, 14-24mm 2.8, 70-200 2.8 and Fujifilm X-E1, Zeiss, Touit lens.
