Day 290

Thursday, October 20, 2016

Lugnut was over a few days ago, industriously Minecrafting his way through…Minecraft… Note:  This photo was taken using an Argus Coated Cintar Made In The USA f3.5 50mm lens…that is at least two years or more older than I am…on my new Canon M2 Mirrorless camera!  The only processing I did was to resize it […]

Day 256

Tuesday, September 27, 2016

More Nevada City! Montana’s Oldest School!  And a shadowy self portrait. Kids at recess.  And a half self portrait. This is a panorama from two photos.  I was using an extreme wide-angle and didn’t line things up quite right.  It turned out okay though.  I rather like it! ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 255

Tuesday, September 27, 2016

More Nevada City! These are two panoramas from the Livery Stable where they keep lots of various wagons.  I used the same two photos to make both panoramas, but for the first one I had to manually line up the post and beams just to the left of the water barrel near the middle.  In addition […]

Day 247

Sunday, September 11, 2016

The Dailylife Wife and Toots, looking for important things to photograph.  This photo was actually taken with the fisheye effect on in my M2.  That is why the roof line is so distorted. Important things!  Like Toots! ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 238

Tuesday, August 30, 2016

The Camera Club went down to Nevada and Virginia Cities over the weekend.  The clouds cleared up Saturday night, and Toots took these photos of the Milky Way, and more… These were all then on the Canon M2, with a 22mm f2.0 lens. They were 20 to 30 second exposures, at ISO 6400. There was […]

Day 206

Tuesday, July 26, 2016

At the end of last week I went up to see the Dailylife Granddad and the Dailylife Sister who was down visiting him. We did a lot of talking. In the evening there were deer out.  This is one of the modern marvels of digital photography: it was pretty close to completely dark, and the […]

Day 205

Monday, July 25, 2016

More from the Barrow Backyard.  It was warm enough to rate putting the slip ‘n slide down the hill! *** Just a small technical note:  Today’s and yesterday’s photos were taken on the M2 with a Tokina 80-200mm zoom from my old Olympus 35mm film days.  It is completely manual and no autofocus.  It does […]
