Argentina is gorgeous. Have I said that before? Doesn't it go without saying by now?..You really get to know a set of mountains when you have to hike <em>around</em> them. Fortunately, in the middle of these death marches, I was able to stop and drink in some of the scenery. It took a lot longer than necessary to get to the destination, but at least I arrived with a camera full of photos. That beautiful peak in the distance is Fitz Roy. I was very lucky to see it, because 90% of the time it's covered with clouds...So, last night something else lucky happened! Here are the high points:.<ul>..<li></li>..<li>I did an interview that aired on NBC at 10 PM here in Austin. The segment was all about HDR and turned out really well. Jim Swift interviewed me and he did a great job editing together a nice little story. You can see the full video in the upper left hand area of the TV Station's <a href="http://www.kxan.com/dpp/news/local/Unique_type_of_photography_hits_Austin">KXAN site</a>..<ul>..<li>You guys should contact your local NBC affiliates and ask them to get the segment from KXAN - that would be cool!</li>..<li>The story also mentioned the <a href="http://www.stuckincustoms.com/hdr-tutorial/">HDR Tutorial</a>, which you can get to via that link.</li>.</ul>.</li>..<li>The news segment mentioned an upcoming <strong>PhotoWalk</strong> in Austin on August 6 that I am organizing.

This was shot under the Mandalay Bay hotel in Las Vegas where they have this lavish aquarium. It's really gorgeous and dreamy under there, as you can tell. This area has all kinds of sharks and other wild-lookin' things that were swimming all around me. ..I was fortunate enough to take a private tour of the place thanks to the nice people at the MGM/Mirage management company, who also owns the Mandalay Bay. That allowed me to take the time I needed to set up this 5-exposure HDR shot without tourists getting in the way...One time I did find a nurse shark in the Caribbean. It was a baby. I followed it for a while until it occurred to me that it might be swimming back to its mom. That sudden realization made me turn around pretty quick...All of this underwater stuff reminds me of watching those Discovery channel shows about strange ocean creatures. I swear I could watch those things all day. I can't get over how some of these things have evolved to fit their environment... just amazing. My favorite creatures are cephalopods ... I never get tired of those documentaries!..From the blog at www.stuckincustoms.com
