Day 225

Thursday, August 18, 2016

More Perseids to come!  But first, the full moonrise that wasn’t… I headed out to watch the Moon rise last night.  It was mere hours from being full! Not much was visible through the clouds and smoke on the horizon.  Then I saw a reflection in the camera… There was a quite spectacular sunset going […]

Day 211

Friday, July 29, 2016

I went out to play in the backyard last night.  I was using the M2 with the 22mm f2.0 lens, which is the fastest lens I have right now.  There was lots of ambient light to help illuminate the tres, but I did a little light painting with a small flashlight too. *** *** *** […]

Day 210

Friday, July 29, 2016

A bunch of Flickers came out in the evening.  By the time I had my camera they were all gone but this on young one. *** *** ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

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 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 197

Friday, July 15, 2016

The Great Falls Camera Club held a picnic in the park yesterday for members. A nice Grainy Back & White photo of grizzled old Alan. Another version. There must be something up a tree. An owl! The club, minus some owl shooters. Fancy fisheye effect on a super-wide 11mm. Grainy Black & White Camera Kibitzing. Fisheye […]

Day 194

Friday, July 15, 2016

Well, here are some nice fireworks photos from the Great Falls City Display, only 11 days after Independence Day!  These were all taken on my Canon M2, which is not necessarily the best fireworks camera I have decided. A Happy, if somewhat belated, Independence Day to you! ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 174

Thursday, June 23, 2016

I made a Red Cross blood run today.  I almost made it back before sunset.  This van had pretty good headlights and no cruise control… Wallpaper sized! This is a two photo panorama.  Here is how it turned out in the PS Elements Panorama maker. This is just cropped to a rectangle. This is cropped […]

Day 173

Monday, June 20, 2016

A so-called Strawberry Moon tonight.  It only happens once every 19 years or so, that the Full Moon coincides with the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year. On the road to my secret viewing spot! As the Moon started to come up, I made these two photos.  They are pretty much the same […]
