Day 203

Saturday, August 26, 2017

These are my photos (in this and the previous post) from Thursday night’s Camera Club outing to Gibson Park here in Great Falls. Except for two, I used only vintage lenses; they are lenses that we used long ago with film cameras, that have generally passed out of use (and any real value on eBay!), […]

Saturday, August 26, 2017

Some of Toots’ photos…the ones with the UFOs… * **   *** **** ***** **** *** **   Hmmm…I think we need to investigate further.  The next one is from Texas to New England in 2024… ROAD TRIP! ~Curtis in Idaho! {!-{>

Day 200

Wednesday, August 23, 2017

Morte miscellaneous stuff from the Day of the Eclipse! On the road WAY too early! Say… …there is a budding astrophotographer in there somewhere…! Our neighbors. Dusty Feet to be. More dusty feet to be. So the Eclipse, or at least Totality, is done.  People are leaving before the Eclipse is over.  I can understand […]

Day 199: A few more Miscellaneous from Toots!

Wednesday, August 23, 2017

3D Tumbleweed to be.   Rusty! Dusty! Dusty 2! Ummm…there may be a pattern here…   Yup.  You can tell Toots is a member of the Great Falls Camera Club: If it is rusty get a photo of it!  I think it is the Club Motto; I am pretty sure it is in the By-Laws… […]

Day 198: A few miscellaneous photos from Toots!

Wednesday, August 23, 2017

Just a few photos of the area and whatnot, compliments of Toots… Somebody (probably me…) touched my filter…it didn’t affect the photos though! The “other” camera! Art(sy). What is needed by every astrophotographer! As you can see, dust is going to be everywhere… Art?  Or Macro? Okay, I don’t have a clue…   ~More to […]

Day 197

Tuesday, August 22, 2017

The end of Totality did not mean it was over… We had to wait for the Moon to reverse the process of un-eating the Sun from the other side! It got lighter out, too.  These people had ridden up on an blue Indian Roadmaster.  Eclipsing in style! ** ** The sunspots are back! and the […]

Day 196…or was it night?

Tuesday, August 22, 2017

Total Eclipse!   What is that on the side there?  Solar Prominences…   During Totality you don’t have to wear the glasses for protecting your eyes, and the solar filter on my lens was too, too dark…which screwed up some of my plans and cut short (we only had a little over two minutes!) some […]
