Day 103: Moosing around in the archives…

Sunday, April 10, 2011

I was searching for a photo for Dailylife Daughter #2 when I came across just about my only Moose photos.  We found this critter on the West side of Roger’s Pass on MT200 on 18 May 2007.  I have looked diligently since then near that spot and have not seen another one. (1/400. f7.1, 300mm, […]

(EXIF data on request, or check it yourself: it is still attached to each photo…) OHBOYOHBOYOHBOY!  A trestle AND a tunnel! *** *** Here is part of what the trestle is over… Meanwhile, back at the tunnel! *** Whosh!  Right into the dark! On the other side, it is still gloomy.  Great scenery, but gloomy. […]

(EXIF data on request, or check it yourself: it is still attached to each photo…) HEY!  We’re going over that trestle! We are making a big loop across the valley, and have several bridges like that.  Here is the approach to that trestle. From over here you can see what is above those trestles. There […]

Day 98: Skagway, part 2

Monday, April 4, 2011

(EXIF data on request, or check it yourself: it is still attached to each photo…) Into the woods we go! Yes indeed, it is a long train.  The green and yellow are the engines. The WP&YR is a narrow gauge railway, and it makes very tight turns. The engines are to the right of the […]

Day 95: By Special Request!

Saturday, April 2, 2011

A request to see more of that fancy .45 handl’n! A hand covered rapid fire 7 rounds at 25 meters! Obviously a staged photo…taken from in front of the muzzle. Winter of 1983-84, I think…it only looks a bit like Stalingrad! ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 94

Friday, April 1, 2011

These were probably taken in 1975 or 1976, with my then new Olympus OM-1.  For the sunset I think I used my Vivitar 35mm wideangle.  This is from our backyard in Whitefish, /\/\onTana! For the lightning I went down to Whitefish City Beach, and using a tripod and probably my Vivitar 85-205mm zoom telephoto, I […]
