ANNOUNCEMENTS
MY NEW BOOK
ABOUT MAGEE MARSH
I've just
released a new book about Magee Marsh, a prime
warbler migration stopover. You can
download the book for free from www.MageeMarsh.org,

MY COLUMN IN
AUDUBON MAGAZINE'S ONLINE EDITION
I now have
a series of articles in the
online edition of Audubon Magazine.
They're
geared toward beginners and are very
short. If you're a beginner looking for
a quick, non-technical introduction to bird
photography techniques, that's a good place to
start.
MY INTERVIEW
IN "POPULAR PHOTOGRAPHY" MAGAZINE
The June
2015 issue of Popular Photography magazine
features a short article on bird
photography, with interviews from three
bird photographers including myself.
NEW TRIP
REPORT POSTED
My newest
trip report is now live—Magee
Marsh
2013. It includes many photos and
photography tips. This was one of the
very best birding trips I've ever taken, and
I'm looking forward to going back again next
year (if I can afford it). If you've
never been to Magee Marsh,
you should consider going.
PLEASE
CALIBRATE YOUR MONITOR!
In order
to get the most out of the illustrations in
this book—and in
order to make sure that others see your
photos the way you see them on your
computer—you need
to make sure your monitor is properly
calibrated. The calibration key below
provides a quick way to assess your monitor's
calibration. If any of the gray bars
have a red/green/blue color cast, or if any
two bars appear indistinct (particularly bars
#1 and #2), then you need to calibrate your
monitor. Section 14.1.2 will tell you
how.
CURRENT
STATS
The web
edition is currently at 16 chapters,
comprising 97 sections and 266,588 words, with
662 illustrations. When printed in
12-point font it comes to 926 pages.
Monthly page views for 2010 are shown below;
these are obviously highly outdated, but the
newest numbers continue the upward trend.
PRINT
EDITION
Many
readers have asked—and continue to ask—when a
print edition will become available.
Unfortunately, due to the extreme length (900+
pages), publishing this work as a full-color
print edition is simply not economically
feasible. The author is familiar with
self-publishing options such as Lulu and Blurb
(which have their own shortcomings,
particularly in cost and printing
quality). The advantage of web
publishing over print, however, is that the
web version can be updated and corrected as
needed. For that reason, the author has
opted not to produce a print edition.
