Can't Wait to Get Outside!

I get to go outside and play!  Well, not really, I'll be working on a few new places for my guide book, but since it involves landscape photography it's fun, so it's as close to playing as I get while I crank this project out.  I recently finished a pass at the Ratings table, a cool feature at the end of all the guide books published by +Laurent Martres, where you can net it out and see which are the most scenic places, whether or not they're really conducive to photography, and how the road or trail access ranks, each on a scale of zero to five.  It helps visitors new to a region or expanding their location knowledge prioritize their time.  It also helps save gas: we scouted as much as possible to reduce your need to, and to help you be efficient and arrive everywhere just in time, at an optimal season and time of day.

This shot is from one of my research trips in May, 2011.   I'd tell you where it is, but I'll get the book out to you faster if I just put it in the manuscript and get this project done!  It's in the Eastern Sierra, a couple of hours down the road from here.

For folks in or visiting Central to Northern California, the 420 page California – North book in the series, written by +Gary Crabbe, is already available: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0916189201?ie=UTF8&creativeASIN=0916189201&linkCode=xm2&tag=jeffsulliphot-20
