Some links
are photography related. Others, just friendly links you may find
interesting or useful.
Avenue West Gallery
- an Artist Coop
representing over 15 regional artists showing works in oil, watercolor,
fabric, photography, jewelry, ceramic and much more. I had the
priviledge of being part of this talented group.
US Naval Observatory
- When
I plan an image to include the sun or moon , this site
will tell me, for any given day, when they rise or set, and where
(Azimuth) on
the horizon they would be located. This is especially helpful when
traveling to new locations.
Magnetic Declination
-
Another helpful Government site. To know the precise location
of a sun or moonrise, you must adjust the above data with the magnetic
declination of your location. This site will calculate that for you.
Weather
- At times,
the giver of great light for photographers. Other
times, the nemesis of us shutterbugs! So, having some idea of weather
conditions and forecasts is very important when planning a photo
adventure. Unfortunately, weather is not a perfect science, so all
forecasts are not necessarily the same. I think the best one can do is
consult several sources, and evaluate from there. I use the following:
Weather.com
Accuweather Weather
Underground
And,
locally, I also use the National
Weather Service
here in Spokane, but you may find one near your photographic
destination.
Downtown
Spokane Hotels
- Welcome to Spokane, WA! Downtown Spokane Hotels offers great rates on
over 50 hotels near downtown Spokane. Book securely online for great
rates on hotels near downtown Spokane!
Spokane Camera Club
- I've
been a member since 2000. The basic goal of the club in to
promote greater interest and betterment in the knowledge and practice
of photography.
I get the most
value
from the professional critiques of our images submitted for the monthly
competitions. If you want to improve your photography, join a club!
National Park Service
- This
is one of the first sites I visit before planning a trip to one
of our National Parks. It provides lots of great basic
information about each of our Nation's Parks.
