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! […]

Day 283: The Road to Silverton!

Sunday, October 12, 2014

It was rainy and cold in Grand Junction in the morning, so we skipped the Colorado National Monument…a spectacular and potentially slippery place without guard rails…eventually we approached Ouray, Colorado. (This page is a mix of the Dailylife Wife’s photos and mine…) Scenic attractions along the road over the top to Silverton…An Arch to drive […]
