Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
Yup, 12 years now and HOOKED is still going strong. On it’s
release the book reached #28 in contemporary romance. It is now available on
Amazon and includes the triannual memoir AFTERMATH.
The screenplay has had suiters, one was a major studio owned
by one of Hollywood’s most famous actors, however I decided I would keep the
original storyline and not turn it into a 100% dating romp. So, it still is out
there. Sticking to my guns with the screenplay. The Magnolia tree is still
blooming.
I have had many, many people tell me I should write another
memoir strictly about hilarious dating stories. Mostly humorous, some not so
much. I have been taking notes, however at this time in my life I just have too
much going on, the time is not there. Hopefully in the future at some point.
HOOKED is available in paperback, e- Book, and Audio Book.

Friday or Saturday July 22 (based on best day clear sky wise) I will be holding a special Milky Way workshop in the Wachapregue area on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.
Fee is $425 per photographer; limit is a total of six (6) photographers. A guest can accompany each photographer but please limit it to only one guest. There is no fee for the attending guest.
Instruction includes: How to film the Milky Way from single
exposure to trackers, timelapse, and Shadowpainting foregrounds for Nightscapes,
and post processing.

Time:
Meet at 7:30pm June 16 or 17 (will notify) at the Wachapregue Inn,
departure is 7:30 sharp, so be a little early.
Payment:
There is no deposit required, simply email jbotv@outlook.com and we will reserve and
confirm your reservation. Please include your contact info in the email including cell phone. Payment must be made by physical check at time of
arrival in Wachapregue.
Weather:
The reason there is no deposit is because there is always a
good chance clear skies will not be available. If this is the case, and the other
window dates are also cloudy, then this workshop will be rescheduled for the
following new moon month of June. The week of June10th we will be
monitoring the weather charts and will notify everyone if the workshop has
clear enough predicted skies for the event.
Participants knowledge of photographic gear:
Each participant must have a full knowledge and
understanding of the exposure triangle (ISO, Aperture Shutter). This is not a
workshop of how to teach basic understandings of photography. Participants
should be very familiar with their own gear.
Below are some tips and links that would be good to review.
Accommodation: If you are traveling a good distance I
suggest booking a room at the Wachapregue Inn. We will be filming in a 10 mile
surrounding area. If coming from Virginia Beach and looking for a good central
place on the Shore and may want to try a couple of dark sky sites a good location
would be the Oyster Farm in Cape Charles. This puts you at a good mid-point for
Red Bank and Magothy Bay.
Gear:
Bring your camera, and it should be capable of ISO ranging
from at least 100 to 12,000 ISO. Tripod, tracker if you have it if not, camera
lens and tripod and your good. If you don’t have some sort of red light for
night vision, you should get one. Also suggest some sort of heat pack for the
lens to help combat condensation. I use 3 hand warmers wrapped around the lens.
An intervalometer is a good thing to have if you are
planning a timelapse. I use a remote on one camera and internal on the 6d Mark
2.
For Shadowing painting / light painting. You should have an
infield GRB light with about a 8 foot or longer nightstand. Participants don’t have
to film the foreground section of the class, this will occur after filming the
Milky Way, somewhere between 2 and 4 in the am. This technique of multi
exposure foreground imaging is a highly powerful tool to have in your arsenal.
Remote triggering is a must for Shadowpainting. I use a Wi-Fi
network connection and control the camera through the cannon smartphone app. It
you don’t have a Wi-Fi camera you can use a wireless intervalometer, however it
is limiting compared to Wi-Fi. If you have questions about this just email
jbotv@outlook.com
Suggested focal length for wide field. 11 to 24 mm. I use a
11 to 16 and a 17 to 35.
You will also want to adjust brightness way down on your
monitor once night sets.
Tips:
·
Wear dark clothing and be fully covered. This
will aid in post processing while masking the foreground exposures.
·
Bring water and insect repellent.
·
For dining, the Island house is right there by
the Inn, excellent food. Just make sure you are done dinner and ready to roll
at 7:30pm
To confirm your spot just email jbotv@outlook.com For further questions
just send an email and if you would like to chat just include your phone number
and we will contact you.

2023 marks 35 years! Jim Baugh Outdoors TV is about to embark
on its 35th year in production. I can’t believe it! When I started, I was in my
twenties, now I am 61. But a young 61! So here is just a few of the thing’s JB
has done during the 3 and 1½ decades of producing the show.
Two marriages, two awesome and successful kids, I moved from
Richmond to Hampton to The Eastern Shore then to Virginia Beach. Produced over
350 television shows, numerous tourism films, 1 piano concerto plus over 50 original
compositions, wrote 3 books, one an Amazon Best Seller, 1 screenplay, penned
over 1000 regional and national magazine columns, 2 short films, one played in
10 film festivals all over the world and gaining 4 awards in cinematography,
editing, and music, as well as best experimental film.
Here is a very positive statement. In all the years we have
worked with hundreds of people in order to produce the show. From Captains,
mates, guides, sponsors, production crews, television executives you name it.
Every person I have met has been a positive experience. Nothing negative,
never. Well, there once was this bell hop in North Carolina we did not see eye
to eye at all, but other than that, it has been an amazing joyful experience.
There is not that many of us left who has been around as
long. We still got Hank, Jimmy, Roland, and a few others that are still rockin
and for longer than we have. More power to them and keep killin it.
Not sure I will ever retire. I mean it is the greatest job
in the world! I get to fish, boat, play music, and hang out in TV studios and
the beach while eating lots of seafood. What is not to love!
As I write this I do find myself single and living at the beach.
Never would have thought that one. But with raising my kids behind me, and the
career is going well, I believe there is probably one last chapter in the
female partner department. We will see.
Lastly thanks to everyone who has made Jim Baugh Outdoors TV
possible for these 35 years. Especially my dad Judge Baugh who was my partner
in the business for all those early years. The Judge always had the best and
correct advice. RIP Judge Baugh
