William Neill's Yosemite: Volume One

I am pleased to announce the publication of my latest ebook, William Neill’s Yosemite: Volume One. I have compiled 52 of my favorite images created using film cameras. The majority of the photographs were made with my 4×5 view camera, and the exposure dates range from 1977 to 2005. I have lived and photographed in the Yosemite area since 1977, and so it is rewarding to have finally produced a portfolio of my favorite images. The book was designed in Adobe InDesign with file sizes that have been optimized to preserve the high-resolution image files. The quality of the images vividly comes to life on the computer monitor and you can zoom in closely to examine details within each photograph.

William Neill’s Yosemite: Volume One is delivered as a PDF file. Each image is presented on a single page, and so is optimized for viewing the individual images clearly. When you click on each image, you will be taken to a secondary Photo Notes page that includes camera and lens info, my commentary on the making of each photograph, as well as notes on the location of where each image was made. The ebook also offers interaction between each image and the Photo Notes section at the back of the book. When viewing the Photographic Notes, simply click on the photograph’s thumbnail, and you are linked back to that image in the PDF.

My new ebook can be easily viewed on an Apple iPad, iPod, iPhone or any other device that can view PDF’s using an excellent app called Good Reader. I have seen my ebooks on an iPad, and the quality of each image and text is excellent.

Yosemite Waterfalls

I am posting one of the waterfall photographs that I took on Mother’s Day in Yosemite.  It was raining as I photographed.  Using my Tilt Shift lens, I exposed three frames that I later stitched together using Photoshop CS5.  You might also enjoy seeing other panos in my Panoramic Portfolio on my web site.

This weekend, I photographed my irises and fields of lupine.  Hope to post some of them soon!

Cheers,

Bill

I don’t have any new images to share, but I have been posting several newly scanned 4×5s on my Facebook Fan page.  I hope to have new work to share next week, after I return from a short vacation.

It is now possible to view my PDF ebooks on iphone, ipod touch or ipad. If you have one of these ebooks, or are thinking of buying one, use Good Reader app to view. Excellent resolution. If you try this out, esp on an iPad, let me know how it looks!   Good Reader app

I still hope to offer my ebooks as apps, but we have not found an app designer or a PDF conversion that will work on iTunes.  If anyone has ideas or recommendations, let me know!

Lastly, my next BetterPhoto course, Inspiring Nature Photography Essentails, starts on Wednesday April 7th.  Spaces are still available!

Cheers,  Bill

John and I continue our efforts to scan film in my files. Here is an old favorite, never scanned or printed before.  I must credit Eliot Porter for the inspiration as I first learned of this tree and its amazing bark from a photograph of his.

I am starting to develop an idea for a new portfolio that includes my more abstract details of nature.

The 4×5 film was scanned using my Epson Perfection V750 Pro.

Enjoy,   Bill

Dune Pattern and Storm Clouds, Death Valley National Park, California

Dune Pattern and Storm Clouds, Death Valley National Park, California  1983

Photographed in 1983 with a Wista 4×5 Field Camera

Last week, when a client asked me to show him some dune images, my eyes lit up.  I happily sent him a selection of jpgs to review.  This process got my memory in gear and I recalled a couple of DV images I’d been wanting to scan.  I used to make Cibachrome prints of this image, but somehow it has remained languishing and unscanned in my file cabinets.

The 4×5 film was scanned using my Epson Perfection V750 Pro, which gives me excellent results when the film is fluid-mounted.

Enjoy,  Bill
