Recent photo trip and a New Magazine

On By Mark DoddIn Cunningham Falls, General Blog Post, Photography Nation MagazineLeave a comment

Took a little photo trip recently out to Cunningham Falls in Thurmont Md with a friend of mine.

I don’t get out as much as I should, but my partner in crime for the Photography Nation Magazine, Sean Simmons, came out my way so I had no excuse not to go. I’m still working on the photos, but here is a quick preview with an iPhone panorama of the top of Cunningham Falls, near Thurmont Md.

I’m still editing the rest of the images that I took that day and will post some more here along with on my Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/markdoddphotography/ If you visit my page, don’t forget to like and share the page and the post. I’d appreciate it.

 

The Magazine

As I mentioned Sean Simmons of Clear Elite Photography and I have teamed up to create a new magazine. We had our first issue released this month.  Check it out.

 

The Moon and Venus

I’m still learning how to use my new camera and one night recently I while I was out walking the dogs I saw that the moon was setting and Venus was nearby. So after taking the dogs back inside, I thought I would see how well the new camera did in low light for astrophotography. I think this is the first time I’ve actually been able to capture the dark side of the moon clearly. Although a larger lens would be nicer next time to get a closer shot. This is the result of my trial. I used Macphun’s Luminar to edit the photo, but it didn’t need many adjustments as it was almost perfect right out of the camera.

Virus Protection and Cable Security

As a new year begins it is a good time to think about your computer virus protection and cable security.

Make a resolution to get your computer secured.

 

Get Virus and Malware Protection for your computer

If you do not yet have a virus protection program here are 2 options that I can recommend.

 

Malwarebytes for Mac and Windows


Malwarebytes for Home | Anti-Malware Premium | Free Trial Download

 

 

Cable Security for your Mac

Physical Cable Security. Not everyone needs this, but if you travel, in a business, or just want to secure your computer at home.

The newer Mac Models no longer come with the security slot, so what are you going to do to physically secure your computer.  MacLocks to the rescue.

MacLocks makes a complete line of products to secure you iMac, MacBooks, and iPads. My employer does use these products and they have been much more reliable and secure than previous vendor products we used.
