Day 227: A guest photographer…

Thursday, August 15, 2013

Day 226

Tuesday, August 13, 2013

This is the Fine Arts building at the Fairgrounds.  We were leaving for the night.  I don’t recall if it was rain or sprinklers going.  These photos were taken on my Apple iPod.  Pretty good for the middle of a dark night! This is the actual “Fine Arts” section.  Photography is just to the left. […]

Day 223: Patterns on the wall…

Monday, August 12, 2013

As I was out convalescing on the back deck a couple of days ago I saw this wonderful dapple pattern on the fence. In focus. (400mm, Canon 7D) I played with the levels a it to get a better black and white mix; these are color photos. Out of focus. (400mm, Canon 7D) The next […]

Day 222

Sunday, August 11, 2013

We have enough fence, posts, wires, and feeders in the backyard to make it hard to get a totally “natural” photo, but they due come along.  A Sparrow of some variety. (1/60s f/5.6 ISO250 400mm Canon 7D) ~Curtis, convalescing in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

“How do I get on this merry-go-round?” “Why do I want to?” (1/350s f/8.0 ISO320 400mm Canon 7D) This was taken from my back deck three days after being laid low by a urinary tract infection.  As near as I can tell I lost about 10-15 pounds in three days…not a recommended diet plan! ~Curtis, […]
