About Me

My photo
Hello I am JimBo, and I am a weekend photographer. Amateur all the way!! Ok, this blog is to enhance my web sight photobyjimbo.com. And is where I offer a little explanation for my photos. I am not any kind of a technical genius at all. I work with an Adobe Photoshop “Elements 2.0” and that is a better program then any CS2 program in that you don’t have to go to school to learn how to use it. I am an adrenalin junkie!! I grew up surfing, got into white water kayaking and rafting. Skydiving, skiing, Hang gliding and Para gliding, and now this year I will have a trike flying this summer, and also I will get into filmmaking. Now we will be able take you for a ride soon! And the reason for my blog is… I want to make as many friends as possible so as when I have a film release there will be a fallowing I hope! Here is my DoorPost Film Project web sight. www.thedoorpost.com/freeair this is a great sight for anyone who is playing with the idea of breaking into the industry. So thank you for coming by and remember, every time you pick up a camera and when you are composing, don’t forget to “See the Light” JimBo

Snow Men


The coolest photo I’d ever taken was on MT Spokane, Skiing on New Years day, and I was up on B-29 the sky was heavy and over cast, snowing, and blowing! And then as if God said…. “Hay Check this out!” and there was light. It was the first photo of the day. And I took a few more as the sky began to brake up and the sunlight started peeking in on the day. I found the shadow that was closes to 18% gray and metered off of that. TTL meter on my Olympus E 500 7MP Digital camera with 40- 150mm 1:3.5-4.5, zoom lens.
Notice I don’t give the F Stop or even the shutter speed! Yes I hand held the camera and I have a fairly good depth of filed going on here, but the best Tec info I can give here is what I metered for to get the right exposure. I have 3 more photos on Page1

race day



You are in a new town and nothing to do right! Well a co workers son was in a motocross race and she asked me if I would take some photos. Ok I thought I would be happy to. The photos on Pages 6 & 7 were the results of that weekend for me. I used my Olympus E 500 7MP Digital camera with 40- 150mm 1:3.5-4.5, zoom lens. To my surprise they let me on the track. Here is how a sample how my day went.
