Day 009

Friday, January 12, 2018

At the Camera Club meeting last night it was slightly sad.  Here Friends Norman and Robyn talk to MSGT X who is relocating to a Far East assignment with his family for the next three years.  If only there was some world wide media for instantly sharing text and photographs that we could use to […]

Day 002

Wednesday, January 3, 2018

So early in the year…for photos from about 15 years ago: 15 April, 2003! This is a seven photo panorama taken on my first digital camera, a Kodak DC3200!  This is Chihulli(?) glass flowers on the ceiling of the Bellagio on the Strip in Las Vegas. More glass flowers in the Arboretum. And the Dailylife […]

Day 001, 2018!

Tuesday, January 2, 2018

Happy New Year! Here is a New Year’s Full Moon. Here is the Moon shortly after it rose tonight. The edges look a bit rough because they are: when it is near the horizon you are shooting through literally a thousand miles or more of unstable air. Once it is over head you are down […]

Day 360

Tuesday, December 26, 2017

Wow!  Only five more days and it will have been 9! years of a photo a day! I played with my new 6.5mm fisheye some today.  First, lunch prep with the Dailylife Daughter #2. A view through the back door. It was 14 below zero at a bit before 11pm.  This is the front of […]

Day 356

Friday, December 22, 2017

So we got a little snow yesterday (the 21st); about 5.5 inches by noon.  These photos were taken around 1am on the 22nd. 12+ inches! As marvelous as cellphone cameras are, and they are even if mine is 3+ years old, they just don’t work as well in the dark!  Two rolling (in camera/cellphone) horizontal […]

Day 341

Saturday, December 9, 2017

What was up in the Sky last night!  Moonrise!   * * And those same photos cropped to 100%…they are unclear because the Moon was seen through a LOT of atmosphere at this angle, and that much air can be very unstable. ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 305

Friday, November 10, 2017

A little about a veteran lens I have.  I collect Argus Cameras, and the most popular of them is the C3 “Brick”.  For a bit of fun I got an adapter for a C3 lens to put it on my digital Canon M2.  I have not researched it much, but I expect this lens is […]
