Day 298

Thursday, November 2, 2017

This is a two photo panorama taken with my 12mm wide-angle lens on the M2.  I then stitched it together.  The camera was in the horizontal/landscape position. Here are the two original photos (downsized). * ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 297

Thursday, November 2, 2017

Here it is on another day of snow.  About two to three times what we had yesterday morning.  These are two rolling panoramas from my cellphone.  You start the panorama setting and it makes the photo as you swing the camera around.  This first one is with the camera/phone held horizontally.  It makes for a […]

Day 295

Wednesday, November 1, 2017

The Camera Club went to a ghost hunt last weekend.  Success!  I had planned to post these yesterday, but I actually had work for Avis and drove to Idaho Falls and back… The medium ghost is Toots, and the really short one is the two year old granddaughter of the club president, Parsley.  {!-{P   […]

Day 294

Day 263

Wednesday, October 11, 2017

One of the camera modes on my cellphone is a “rolling” panorama…the camera will make a really wide photo while you swing it from one side to another.  It works pretty well! Normally…but not today… Click on it a couple of times to enlarge it…if you dare.  BACK to return!   That red blotch on […]

Day 246

Sunday, October 1, 2017

The family traveled up to Kalispell this weekend.  Lugwrench is attending Woodbadge, an advanced leadership course for adult Boy Scouters, near Big Fork and the family took the occasion to visit with the Dailylife Grandparents! This is another technique using a slow shutter speed.  These are between 1/10th and 1/15th of a second. This effect […]

Day 230

Friday, September 22, 2017

A blast from the past: these are from from a vacation we took in 2003.  This was April something or other, in the Valley of Fire, just outside of Las Vegas.  The Dailylife Wife is beside our 2000 Honda Odyssey minivan. An eight photo panorama, from my first digital camera, a Kodak DC3200.  Images were […]

Day 226

Sunday, September 17, 2017

(I just noticed the photos here are all labeled for day 227…they are really Day 226’s…) I took a walk along the River’s Edge Trail today.  I decided to try the panorama feature on my cellphone’s camera.  I usually just take several photos and stitch them together, but I thought I’d try it this way. […]
