I am pleased to have a groundhog image of mine appear in Sierra magazine for January / February 2010 (pg. 18), along with some good biology information about this little guy predicting how much winter may be left in February.    Let’s hope he sees his shadow in advance ok?      You can read the story online at the Sierra Club website here.

This was from my first DSLR the D2H at only 4.2 MP, but still more than enough quality for magazine use.    Despite how such a camera may be “shunned” today, I continue to get great use (and sales) out of these files.    The image runs in the magazine about 1/3 the page, is cropped just below the front claws, and looks just fine.

The issue also has some of Clark Little’s incredible wave imagery.   I have seen a lot of his great work in the press lately.    If you have never seen his work, you can see more of it at his website.
