Day 18

Friday, January 20, 2012

The Moonset on the 6th.  Not a great photo: the air was very unsettled, and shooting at this angle to the horizon means you shoot through a lot of it! (1/30, f5.6, 400mm, ISO 1000, -1/2 stop) ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 16

Saturday, January 14, 2012

I went down to the River to find some birds, and all I found was pods!  Plants and Pods!  It was a bit windy, but I got to try out my new Canon 100mm Macro for the first time (first time of any substance, anyway). (1/750, f8, 100mm, ISO 400) A fancy camera lens, a […]

Day 15: The Great Adventure Begins!

Saturday, January 14, 2012

Saturday the Dailylife Daughter #2 left for the coast, starting her life after college. A tearful farewell from the Dailylife Wife. Then it is all set, and… …she is off! A few phone calls from along the way to keep the old folks from worrying too much, and Clive Cussler’s  “The Spy” audiobook in the […]

Day 13

Friday, January 13, 2012

I went to see the Sunrise, and it was pretty nice this morning. First is the Moon behind a few clouds. (1/45, f5.6, 135mm, ISO 400, 100% crop) The same photo filtered as…paint dabs! The approach to Fife, /\/\T. (1/125, f5.6, 28mm, ISO 4000, -3 stops) A good start to the Sunrise! (Click to enlarge; […]

Day 12: Puppy Love

Friday, January 13, 2012

After the Moonrise Dailylife Daughter #2 stopped by DD#1’s house to get her skates.  She had to say hello to Mater. (All photos Canon 40D on auto, with flash) (And no, I did not steal them from DD#2’s blog.) (I liberated ’em!  After all, I took ’em!) ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 11

Friday, January 13, 2012

Dailylife Daughter #2 and I went to the Moonrise Wednesday night.  We were on top of the hill above the Lewis and Clark Overlook, overlooking Rainbow Falls and Dam. (1/30, f5.6, 400mm, ISO 4000) The viewing conditions were, at least as far as photography went, horrible. (1/1000, f5.6, 400mm, ISO 4000) The wind was blowing […]

Day 10

Tuesday, January 10, 2012

A snowy, dreary kind of day.  But I still found a couple of Eagles!  This one kept flying up and down the river below Giant Springs, starting to dive for something in the river, then pulling up.  I don’t know if he couldn’t decide what to eat (like standing in front of the fridge with […]

Day 9: A New Member of the Family!

Monday, January 9, 2012

We got a new member of the family last week.  We traded in our 2006 Honda Pilot on a brand spankin’ new 2012 Honda Pilot, and man is it nice!  It has more leg room and better mileage.  It also has only 3% fewer switches than a Boeing 747… The color is a little darker […]
