4th of July week in Scofield

Happy 4th of July!

We spent the weekend in Scofied Utah at the Cabin.

We hiked and walked, rode ATV's and motor cycles, made tin foil dinners and

dutch oven desserts, played games, stayed up late and slept in.

Saturday we spent in town at pleasant Valley Days, they

had a small town parade that the kids were in, listened to

red neck music, had great food, watched the

rubber ducky contest and ended the day by watching

fire works over the lake.

It was a wonderful weekend away.

Utah Art Festival

This week I have been attending a CTE Conference for photography teachers.

We were able to meet professional photographers, learn from them and shoot with them.

Today I went with Laura Seitz from Desert News to the Utah Art Festival, very cool

shooting a little editorial work.

So I read somewhere that you can turn your lens into a macro lens by flipping your lens back words on your camera. Unhook your lens, flip it, and hold it tight against the camera. You obviously can't twist it onto the camera back words. You also can't focus it, so you just have to move around until your hit the sweet spot. I flipped a fixed 50mm lens, normally the camera needs to be about 12 inches from the subject with this lens, this is about an inch away from the rock. I don't think I was holding very still though. Pretty cool trick, it almost hase a lens baby feel to it.

When I took this photo I only saw the red bugs, not until I had it on the computer did I see all the little black bugs. Yuck.

Other side of provo canyon tonight. We tried to get the kids to come this time, no such luck. We hiked along a mountain bike trail Greg bikes on. It was a perfect night for a hike.
