Summer is moving right along. Come September I’m hitting the road for a month in our new trailer taking a photo tour with my Family. My destination is Twin Cities and when I get there I’ll be doing a 3 day HDR workshop followed by my 1 day LR Power Workshop.
I won’t make this long. You can click below for info on either workshop. Whether you’re local or traveling in, I look forward to seeing some of you there. There’s also talk of some kind of a PPS meetup, so stay tuned… Gav

Welcome to f164. It’s been a long time coming and represents more than just a photo blog. It’s my fine art portfolio, but also the journal of my photographic travels, studies and experience. One of the first things you’ll notice are the giant images in posts. This site is all about photography and I decided to show it as best I could. Nothing beats a fine print in person, but that does not mean the internet has to show tiny pathetic images. This is a site, for which I have put design and beauty over commercial assets such as ads. This is my journal, my place to talk about what I learn, what I did right, what I did wrong, or anything in between.
If you simple enjoy art, browse around because nearly every page has something. If you’re a photographer, watch further in my posts for in depth articles on technique, as I write about my experiences. Visit this page for a more detailed look at what f164 is all about and why if not your everyday photo blog. You’ll also notice some posts prior to this one. These were art related posts imported from my other spaces and updated with fresh large images and more. Going forward you’ll see fresh content and images like the first official photo entry, Silver Waves of Grain. Hope you enjoy… Gav

by Gavin Seim: Attempting to setup light outside with an with an umbrella, softbox, or even a lone strobe can quickly turn into a fiasco of tipping. I have a family session with over forty people this weekend, and the last thing I want to worry about was whether my lights are secure. One common method is to use sandbags, but I wanted something small, light and adaptable to keep stands from falling over. Behold the DIY quick release cords for.
PS. The wind was not intense on the day I made this, but I left them up all afternoon without reservation. These make a VERY stable light and they should handle heavy winds if needed. Do some tests of your own and if in doubt just add a few extra tether cords to make it as sturdy as you need. Also here is a good video on how to tie the Tautline Hitch.

by Gavin Seim: Dynamic range is a big deal in photography and I’ve been making a point to study it over the past few years. Last week I joined Kerry Garrison on the CameraDojo podcast, for a new episode on HDR. In fact however, it’s not just a discussion of traditional HDR, but on all things dynamic range. It’s always fun guesting on other shows (not to mention a lot less work) and I think we pulled together something good here.
Thanks to Kerry for having me. Head over to CameraDojo to give it a listen. Then stay tuned because there’s also a brand new PPS Roundtable coming real soon.
