Day 116

Thursday, April 27, 2017

More from the Grand Canyon sunset! Not a great photo because I was setup for the sunset.  I looked down and saw two things: (1) This mountain sheep/goat is just rocks and shadow, and (2) there is an eagle flying by a couple thousand feet below me! A closer view of the eagle.  It could […]

A couple of multi-photo panoramas from the first day at the Grand Canyon. Not bad for a completely manual 12mm f2.0 lens! ~Curtis in Arizona! {!-{>

We stopped at the Red Rocks Ranger Station in Sedona, AZ.  They have a flower display to attract hummingbirds.  Here are a few. * ** *** ** * * ~Curtis in Arizona! {!-{>

Day 113

Wednesday, April 26, 2017

While the first day and night were overcast, our second night was very clear.  Here are the stars over the Grand Canyon. It was the day before the New Moon, and there was NO light down in the big ditch.  This is through photo processing that you can sesame of it.  Looking North.  I think […]

Day 112

Wednesday, April 26, 2017

We are on a bit of a vacation down to the Big Ditch in Arizona.  Can you tell what this is?  No peeking!  Answer at the bottom! The Dailylife Wife peeking at wildlife. More peekers.   And the answer is:  A big a$$ Elk! ~Curtis in Arizona! {!-{>

Day 111

Friday, April 21, 2017

Kind of a rainy morning today, so here is one from just before sunrise yesterday.  This Bald Eagle flew up from below the two Overlooks, across Rainbow Falls and Dam, and over the BNSF Trestle. Meanwhile, two Canada Geese were heading the other way. *** ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 110

Thursday, April 20, 2017

I took the Dailylife Wife to work this morning so I could use the car, and promptly ran down by Giant Springs, or Rainbow Dam and Falls, to be more precise.  I got this nice image of the sun rising over the Missouri with my 12mm Rokinon f2.0. 1/180s f/8? ISO400 12mm ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! […]

Day 109

Wednesday, April 19, 2017

A bit of a flashback…I was backing up my photos (YOU do, don’t you?) and ran across this old set from 14 August, 2011.  The Moon just does not come up clearer than this! It was just this orange, too!  After I took these out near Fife… …I ran into a huge lightening storm!  I […]
