Day 001, 2017, or Year Nine…

Sunday, January 1, 2017

I went out at my usual New Year’s Sunrise, and all that cloudless sky from last night was gone…snow was falling. So here is the first light of 2017! And down at Giant Springs the first bit of color for 2017… Looks like the Base survived another New Year’s Eve, or its shadow did, anyway. […]

Day 366

Sunday, January 1, 2017

The last light of 2016. From the 1911 railroad tunnel between Belt and Great Falls. A well traveled door. Some people are saying they are glad it is over. It wasn’t too bad, if you ask me.  It is ending better than it started, anyway! ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 360

An eagle eating down by the river…100% crops. Well, this first one is a reduced version of the second one… Back to 100%! Backwinding! “Good Eats!” “Where is that Alton Brown guy now?” ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 354

Friday, December 23, 2016

We went to Toots’ Christmas program.  Being bored before they came in I started to play around…they had a really nice winter background behind the risers for the kids.  A great scene with real lights! One of the favorite techniques of Friend Robyn is zooming in or out during the exposure. It can be kind […]

Day 351: Baby, it is cold outside!

Saturday, December 17, 2016

This is what -21F/-44F windchill looks like… A three photo panorama of the backyard before the sun came up. A flicker eating early. A few ducks in the mist. An Alaskan iceberg in minature. Drifting sand blowing snow on top of the Fish and Game office. A little late to be heading South… The Old […]

A big, full Moon came up over an almost clear Highwood Mountains tonight. A 100% crop. These two are the same photo, with one done in B&W. It/they is/are a 100% crop/s. ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 342

Sunday, December 11, 2016

A week or two ago, while it was still sunny, they put new crossing lights on the railroad crossing for the new industrial spur.  It looks like it could be waiting on crossing barrier/arms, too.  I have yet to see any train on it, beyond a couple of gandy dancer cars working on the track. […]
