Day 227

Friday, August 14, 2015

Like I said, I didn’t get any photos of the Perseid Meteors.  I was taking 20 to 30 second exposures, hoping to capture a meteor, but when I looked later on the computer, I had these neat red clouds blowing through instead.  They are red from the glow of Great Falls through the smoke from […]

Day 112: The Luau! Part 1

Friday, May 1, 2015

We had to go to a lu’au: Drums of the Pacific Lu’au at the Hyatt Regency.  It was pretty good! Stylish footwear of the day! A fancy fruit punch looked over by Friend Walter. The Dailylife Wife in her new Pacific Whale Foundation Store Sun Repellant hat! Us. A wide-and-low angle photo (28mm equivalent) from […]

Day 057

Thursday, February 26, 2015

I presented a class on pinhole photography at the Camera Club tonight.  Here is a two pinhole photo panorama I took at the meeting.  10 second exposure, but I didn’t tell anyone to sit still. The whole class will be online soon, at http://www.greatfallscameraclub.com! ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 359: Part 3…

Friday, December 26, 2014

Amongst everything else, the Dailylife Wife gave me a Canon EFS 10-18mm ultra Wide Angle lens.  This is a fun, light weight little thing.  On a crop sensor camera it is the same as a 16-28mm lens on a full frame camera.  I already have a 17-40mm (on a full frame) but it is like a […]

Herman’s Flowers, as seen by my cellphone camera… * * This is just cropped, not resized to show the detail the camera can capture! * * * Once again, just cropped, not resized!  Not too bad for a phone! ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 343

Friday, December 12, 2014

One last post from Herman’s Flowers (using my Canon 7D, at least!), and a Thank You to them for letting the Great Falls Camera Club come down and use their greenhouse! (1/45s f/8.0 ISO250 100mm -1/2 stop Canon 7D) I think I was using a ring flash on these three photos.  I might have used […]

Day 342

Friday, December 12, 2014

Still at Herman’s! This was taken with a 40 year old Olympus Zuiko 50mm Macro lens from days long gone by.  It is completely manual on my Canon, and I did not record the f-stop.  It was mostly wide open, so it was probably about f3.5. (0.7s f/0.0 ISO100 50mm Canon 7D) The same flower […]

Back to Herman’s Flowers! (1/45s f/6.7 ISO100 100mm -1 stop Canon 7D) The center of a poinsettia. (1/30s f/6.7 ISO100 100mm -1 stop 7D) (1/20s f/6.7 ISO100 100mm -1 stop 7D) This was taken with a 40 year old Olympus Zuiko 50mm Macro lens from days long gone by.  It is completely manual on my […]

Day 308

Thursday, October 30, 2014

A brief stop in the Crow’s Nest for the drink of the day yielded…a view of moonlight on the sea… Out on deck it was dark. A little camera magic and a little fill-flash, and it is almost a warm, tropical moonlight on the sea.  Almost. A bit later. ~Curtis, out at sea, near Sitka! […]
