Friday, August 24, 2012

A bunch of us went out after the Glacier trip to shoot photos of old cars.  I decided I had not used my pinhole lens in a while and this was a good opportunity to dig it out! Friend Robyn’s version,with a real lens, you know, with glass and stuff! (1 second, ISO 100) (1.5 seconds, […]

Thursday, August 23, 2012

While on our trip to Glacier National Park we stopped in to see the Glacier Lodge, in, of course, (East) Glacier!  You can see the front of the Lodge to the right of Red Jammer 79. The Jammers are used to tour the Park, with the drivers, or Jammers, as tour guides.  The canvas top […]

Day 242: Waterfalls pt 2

Sunday, August 19, 2012

So the Dailylife Wife got all excited about wanting her photo with me in a waterfall. (All photos: Nikon Coolpix P7100) So we got Ken to take a few of us. Then she got all excited and started yelling. She didn’t seem to want the photo that bad. Maybe she meant in >>FRONT<< of the […]

Day 239: Sunrift Gorge

Saturday, August 18, 2012

One of the many stops on our trip to Glacier National Park was Sunrift Gorge, on the east side of the Going To The Sun Highway.  I realized I had never stopped here before, because there is limited parking.  The Gorge itself is a pleasant 100 yard walk up some stairs.  It is a good […]

Day 238

Wednesday, August 15, 2012

We saw quite a few Osprey and their young on our expedition to Glacier National Park.  The power company builds nesting platforms next to the power lines so the birds don’t nest in the wires.  The first nest was just a little bit out in a field. (All photos and video taken on my Nikon […]

Day 237

Wednesday, August 15, 2012

Friend Robyn waxed eloquent over the virtues of this old tree on the way to Many Glacier.  It is pretty neat, particularly with the Moon in the shot! (1/1500s f/8.0 ISO200 36mm -1/2 stop) Here is Friend Robyn hard at work.  The tree is on the north side of the highway in to Many Glacier […]
