It looks like a scheduled update went off the rails. Far off.

A bald eagle with a fish it just caught in its talons. Shot at Goldwater Lake in Prescott, Az
I’ve been after this image for a couple of months.

This is a 3rd year bird, its head is almost white. Next year the head will be white, it will be an adult and can breed. Younger birds have brown heads and are juveniles.

A juvenile bald eagle in flight. Shot at Watson Lake in Prescott, Az.
While assisting a friend who is learning a new camera, 2 adult bald eagles flew over my head. My camera was on a tripod 10 feet away, no photo. I will go back there soon.

macOS 10.13 High Sierra and Datacolor Spyder 3

Datacolor Spyder 3, macOS High Sierra

I took a risk and updated my iMac from 10.12 Sierra to 10.13.1 High Sierra. I encountered 1 serious problem. My Datacolor Spyder 3 monitor calibration tool failed to calibrate the iMac’s display color profile. Serious photographers and other graphic arts folks understand how important it is to properly calibrate your displays so that the color is consistent with prints and other displays.

I contacted Datacolor support and was told that my Spyder 3 was obsolete and no longer supported 😦 I had to buy a Spyder 5 which is compatible with High Sierra. They offered my a 25% discount and a digital coupon to extend my Adobe CC subscription by 90 days at no cost.

I really did not want to re-buy a device that we use a few times each year, but all in all this is fair.

Jesse in the dark

This photo was a happy accident. While shooting cats for their adoption photos at the Yavapai Humane Society my flash failed to fire (shooting too fast). So this image is an ambient light shot.
I really like the look of this one.
