This first Adventure Web Gallery represents the perspectives of nine photographers who are immersed in the culture and landscape of the Reykholt area of Iceland. Some of the artists have focused on the expansive landscape, while others examine the intimate details of the countryside. Each photographer begins the process by capturing Raw image data, then organizing and editing the...

In the late 60s, bands like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin & The Who set the stage for massive live performances in stadiums and arenas around the globe. In the 70s, we saw artists like Boston, Styx, Foreigner, Journey, Queen, Peter Frampton & Genesis emerge -- who really defined the moniker "Arena Rock". These bands would sell-out the...

Reykholt, Iceland: It's 10 pm and the sky is a brilliant blue and the sun is reflecting off a few high clouds. Obviously the weather is cooperating with our adventure. Yesterday, we left Reykjavik in a blur of action. The entire team and luggage piled into 6 rental cars provided by Hertz and made the 1.5 hour drive across north...

No sooner than the Adventure team congregated in Reykjavik, it was time to head north to Reykholt where we would break into smaller groups to cover more ground. My clan explored the local area including the quiet village Borgarnes. Others traveled much farther, often staying out the entire night to capture the last glow of sunset and the first...

Intrigued by Scott Bourne's review of Synk Audio Musicbed DV, I watched the screencast on the developer's site...and got even more interested. Musicbed DV is a Mac program that generates soundtracks, but what struck me was the controls it offers: They're labeled with musician terms, not engineering ones. Instead of knobs and envelopes for quantitative aspects like level, panning, and...

If you've been having trouble with an audio interface that you plugged into your new Mac Intel laptop, switch USB ports. That may solve your problem.

Reykjavik, Iceland: Everyone has safely flown in from all around the globe and the adventure has officially started! Earlier this evening, before the opening presentation by the Icelandic photographer, Sigurgeir Sigurjónsson, and before our elaborate Icelandic dinner hosted by ExpoImaging, I had the honor or welcoming the group and this is what I said: I've been dreaming of this moment...

Enroute to Iceland: Sometimes there isn't a lesson; there is just a story. In this case, it's really a worry. I'm talking about the weather, and so was everyone else I met today as I left Norway for Iceland and the start of the Adobe Lightroom Iceland Adventure. On the train to the Oslo airport strangers bemoaned the hottest summer...

I've learned much in the past few weeks as I've talked to other Adventure photographers about preparing for this trip. I thought I'd pass along a few of these gems. If you plan to use your ATM card in Iceland, and most of Europe, be sure to change you pass code to 4 digits before you leave. Otherwise there's a...

The other day I found myself hanging out the passenger window with Canon Rebel XT in hand as we crossed the Golden Gate Bridge. So I did what any red-blooded photographer would do... I put the camera in burst mode and started shooting. By the time I reached the other end, I had 90 frames recorded. Now what? I...
