Day 365

Sunday, January 3, 2016

On the last day of the year I went out early to catch the sunrise.  I got the Moon first! This is with my 75-300L lens, at 300mm. And this is that same lens at 300mm with a 2x teleconverter, making it a 600mm.  This one is resized to fit my 1440×960 format I mostly use […]

Day 323

Tuesday, November 17, 2015

Back on the 27th of September there was a total lunar eclipse. That is where the Moon moves through the Earth’s shadow and turns completely red! We went out to shoot the Moon with Friend Walter. These are some of my photos of the event. This is the Moon approaching “totality”, or when it is […]

Back on the 27th of September there was a total lunar eclipse.  That is where the Moon moves through the Earth’s shadow and turns completely red!  We went out to shoot the Moon with Friend Walter.  These are some of my photos of the event. The problem most people have with the Moon in photos is […]

Day 291

Saturday, October 31, 2015

The Great Falls Camera Club made a Saturday morning trip to Giant Springs! Plants growing in the Spring’s outflow. The “misty” looking water is caused by using a very slow shutter speed. ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 241

Thursday, August 27, 2015

Well, the smoke of a thousand forest fires blew into town today, bringing this red, red Moon with it.  I had to resize it down to 75% to get the craters sharp.  The smoke is not a sharpening enhancement. ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

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! {!-{>
