Day 198

Saturday, July 16, 2016

After a nice, if somewhat rainy, drive to Kalispell and back for Avis I decided to try my new Olympus OM to Canon EF-M lens adapter.  This adapter is a simple tube with the appropriate mounts at both ends, and leaves the lens completely manual while on the M2.  This is actually a pretty good […]

Day 190

Monday, July 4, 2016

Out on the River this morning, playing around with the M2 and the 400mm telephoto.  Looks pretty funny.  Works pretty good! I was also trying something we saw when the Camera Club went to Yellowstone last winter.  Take a section of Fun Noodle and cut a slice down one side.  Slip it over the car […]

Day 189

Sunday, July 3, 2016

The Dailylife Wife has some lilies down any the end of the house by the brick wall.  I borrowed a Canon 22mm from Friend Robyn for my M2.  Here is a little playing around. The first one is in the sunlight, and they came out very yellow.  They are very orange to the naked eye. […]

Day 175

Friday, June 24, 2016

I swung down by the River after coffee this morning… Pelican. Cliff Swallow. Tree Swallow. Mourning Dove.  100% crop. These were all taken on my Canon M2 with an EF 28-135 IS lens and adapter to use it on the M2.  This is a new camera body with a late model sensor, and a lens […]

Day 167

Wednesday, June 15, 2016

A new import to the Barrow Backyard Bird Sanctuary:  a Eurasian Collared-Dove. They are a recent arrival from the Caribbean, and closely related to the Spotted Doves we saw in Hawai’i. This is the northwestern end of their new range. Handheld with my 400mm lens, 1/1500 second, ISO 200 and f5.6.  In less than ideal […]

Day 032, Part 2

Saturday, January 30, 2016

Toots and I went on a Camera Club photoshoot at Fritz’s Cadillac Garage. Here are my photos from there. A three photo panorama. This is a two photo panorama. Another version of the panorama, but it screwed up somebody’s leg! ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 031

Saturday, January 30, 2016

We had an interesting assignment at the Camera Club last week:  Tweak a bad or uninteresting photo.  The photos were provided by one of the members, Norm, and here are the two Toots and I got: I got the one on the left…I cropped it to a vertical, and because I couldn’t do anything I […]
