I had a wonderful time presenting at the Houston Audubon Nature Photography Association meeting last evening. The folks that attended were warm and friendly, pretty much what you’d expect from a group of enthusiastic Texas photographers. I’d like to thank John Old for giving me the opportunity to speak in front of this group and I truly enjoyed every minute of it. I’d also like to thank everyone that bought a copy of my book last evening. It was a wonderful surprise!
It turns out that my slide deck was a wee bit larger than I had expected (too big to email out to folks) so I’ve posted a copy (PDF format) of the presentation highlights that folks can download here. Just click on the image to the left but be warned, it’s a 15 MB file and might take a bit of time to download.
Here’s a set of links to some of the products I discussed last evening:
Gitzo Traveller Tripod (Legs)
Really Right Stuff Ball Heads
Hot Shoe Bubble Level
Singh-Ray Filters
Nice presentation, while I missed it in person, I enjoyed looking it over online. Lots of good stuff, thanks!
Derrick,
Thanks for reading. I’m glad you liked the slide deck. Very nice blog you’ve got over at My Sight Picture. Always nice to see other Texans shooting what they love!

Thanks Jeff – just caught this or I would have responded earlier. Spent the weekend up in Canyon Country, should have some new pics up soon!
Jeff: Why dont you share on slideshare ? Thats a great way to share slide sets. However big they are.
Mouli
Umm… Because I’ve never heard of “slideshare”. I guess I need to do a little research.
Jeff
jeff, i enjoyed your hanpa presentation immensely and found it extremely informative. after attending the 2010 fotofest in galveston earlier this month with sessions with kathy adams clark , larry ditto, and debbie ferrell,i apprecieated the vast differences between a longtime- amateur and a real professional.! iwill be sending you a packet including a check for your splendid book and some snaps from my recent trip to new braunfels. many thanks, john
Thanks John.
I enjoyed last evening’s get together as well. I look forward to seeing your shots from New Braunfels.
Jeff
Fantastic Job Jeff, the images and advice was perfect, and to echo Mark on to Nat Geo.
Thanks Ray.
I think Mark’s buddy has filled NG’s quota for crazy old Irishmen.
On the road again in the morning. I’ll call you from the middle of nowhere. I’m pretty sure that’s where I’m meeting up with Josh.
Jeff
What a wonderful presentation! Loved looking through it, and could *almost* hear where you were going with the slides. I say *almost* because, of course, I’d rather hear where you were going with each topic. The images looked gorgeous, and I’m happy the presentation were a success.
So..where you nervous?
Congrats again…and thanks for the (c)!
On to the next one! Nat Geo Society!
Mark,
Thanks again for the use of your image. I wasn’t nervous until the first attendee showed up wearing a “Bill Fortney” name tag. I immediately shook his hand and stammered something about being a big fan when he stopped me, smiled and said “I’m not THAT Bill Fortney”. I’ll tell you what. For a minute there I was sweating gumdrops! Can you imagine giving a talk about studio lighting and have Joe walk in the door? Gulp…
After that broke the ice, I was sailing right along. It was fun and I was floored when five folks bought copies of my book. I think the Lord was looking out for me!
Off to the Hill Country in the morning to setup for the TLS. YeeHa!
