Just down the hill is the Tuzigoot National Monument. “Hilltop Living “Water flows under and through this landscape, feeding the growth of people and towns. The Verde Valley is watered by snowmelt, summer monsoons, and springs that well up from the ancient sedimentary rocks. In the heart of the valley, a thousand years ago, people […]

Here is another eagle photo.  This one is clipped from a 4K video I took of it.  It is a 100% crop (actual resolution as taken, cropped down).  The first one is without editing. Pretty good quality for a video sample. ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 002

Saturday, January 1, 2022

As promised, a little about my new Camera, the Canon M50, I got from the Dailylife Wife fo Christmas.  It is from Canon’s first “mirrorless” camera line.  It has a crop sensor, like the 7D and my M2 mirrorless and it is very small and light.  They are currently building a full frame sensor mirrorless […]

I am at my friends’ place in Phoenix.  As optimistic transplanted /\/\onTanans, every fall they fill their backyard with water in desperate, but vain, hopes of creating an outdoor skating rink…I got this after the water had dropped about a foot…

People often wonder what Polarizing filters do.  Here is some of it: the darken skies and saturate colors!  The first photo is with a polarizing filter set on the lowest polarization. The second photo is set to the highest polarization. You can also eliminate reflects with polarizing filters. ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

We stopped for lunch in the north end of the Hayden Valley.  There were a couple of bison out there somewhere.  We were going to go on to Fishing Bridge and maybe back via Old Faithful, but there was a serious accident at the Sulpher Cauldron, and it was a four to five hour wait… […]
