It has been raining; a ground soaking drizzle. This should be the final push for leaf color in my area. Come Saturday, and after we see Keegan off, I hope to again hit the Watauga Lake area and the Dennis Cove-Walnut Mt.-Buck Mt. area. Laurel Fork in the cove is extremely photogenic and for someone who can do a bit of walking, there are several waterfalls on the creek. Sunday or Monday I want to catch Clark's Creek; it is where yesterday's photo was made.

Megashot is quickly approaching the 1,500 member mark and is doing much better than expected. We have a new Wedding Photography community which I think will be much used; seems a lot of people want to learn the ins and outs of that genre. The Explore feature and contests could use a lot more entries. One of the surprising things that is widely used is the Critique Forum; it has been a big draw especially for new members. The forum is only three months old and already has more than 1,000 photos submitted for critique. I am not good enough of a photographer to help much there, but I do what I can. Flickr group administrators are begging their members to submit photos for critiquing but with little interest shown as a result. Flickr was never designed for such; it was a social site for youngsters from the get-go. Megashot can be used for socializing and probably is by some members, but it is more of a site for people whom want to share and learn.

A tip from my own Megashot profile:
If you over-sharpen a photo a bit, a quick fix may sometimes be made by merely using your software "Despeckle" tool. It can remove some of the small highlights caused by sharpening.

Have a Wednesday!
