A while ago I had the pleasure of attending a workshop on travel photography put on by National Geographic. One of the best ideas I took away from that workshop was a list by National Geographic photographer Catherine Karnow of what she looks for while on assignment. Mind you, this is her list of 20 [...]
HDR, short for High Dynamic Range, photos have been in the mainstream for a while now, especially with the advent of programs and Photoshop plugins to make the task easier. I admit to, at one time, looking into the technique out of curiosity. After playing with it for a bit, I abandoned it as it [...]
I was recently asked by Angela K Nickerson from The Gypsy’s Guide on Twitter about my photo storage and backup scheme. Actually, she was asking ANYONE, but I piped in. It’s way too big of an answer for 140 characters, although I gave it my best shot, so I thought I’d expand a bit [...]
Me again! If you’ve been following along with the People, Places and Patterns Project (http://tinyurl.com/pwc-pppp) you know by now I’m intent on visiting classrooms and presenting photos, videos and stories from the trip to help inspire children to explore beyond their borders. This is one of the main reasons for the trip, with another being [...]
I’ve been playing with the latest version of Photoshop Lightroom 3 Beta for a few days now. The latest Photo Of The Day shots here were created using it. While the website touts all kinds of stuff that sounds good on paper, I’ve been a bit frustrated with the initial beta.

For those of you who check out the Photo Of The Day here on The Carey Adventures, and for those looking for something to add to that big list of goals for 2010, I’d like to suggest starting a Project365 in the new year. What is a Project365? I’ve listed out some resources over at [...]
It’s nearly 2010 and I simply can’t wait to start planning for big adventures ahead. I’ve got this crazy idea, a crazy idea I’ve already purchased tickets for. Like most of my crazy ideas, this one involves travel, a chance for you to help and receive an awesome fine art print in return!
I’ve named this [...]

In April and May I’ll be trekking through the Khumbu region of the Himalayas for a couple weeks then climbing a peak known as Kyajo Ri. Kyajo Ri stands just over 20,000′ and will be the highest I’ve been on this planet without zipping along at 600MPH in a plane. I’m getting rather excited [...]
After taking some feedback from viewers of The Carey Adventures’ Photo Of The Day, I’ve started expanding my input on how certain shots were taken and post-processed. As some of you know I also write for various websites, including Digital Photography School and Tuts+. This morning I was pleasantly surprised to find a new post [...]
