Another Eclipse is a ‘Comin!

Friday, August 18, 2023

Or two…one total, one not.  Maps below! In the non-total eclipse, the Moon will go completely in front of the Sun, but will be too small to mask it. >>Take appropriate eye precautions before viewing!!!<<< ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 087!

Sunday, March 26, 2023

This was our last day in Clarkdale and Arizona.  Dad’s health took a turn for the worse, so we decided to head back home while there was a short window of no snow along the route!  His health has improved but we are heading home anyway. So I started with a nice soak in the […]

Day 037

Monday, February 6, 2023

Here is that Moonrise over Tuzigoot NM with my Canon M50 and 70-300mm L lens. This is actually one end of the ruins at Tuzigoot.  The main ruins are a bit higher, so I moved and got to watch the Moonrise all over again!  But it was too dark to get the foreground exposed, and […]

Day 036

Monday, February 6, 2023

A little moonrise watching… The constellation Orion is on the upper right corner. Looking “back” at Tuzigoot Nat’l Monument. These are all taken on my Apple iPhone 13.  The newer cellphones have remarkable low light capabilities!  But it still can’t reconcile a full moon and the landscape after it gets dark.  The secret to getting […]

Day 035!

Sunday, February 5, 2023

Last night in the setting sun, was the rising Moon over Tuzigut National Monument! I would call this one “heavily edited” because the moon is actually from another photo in this series.  It is so bright it is very hard to get both it and landscape in the same photo after dark, other than the […]

Day 20230107!

Wednesday, January 18, 2023

We took a trip up through Sedona to see the snow on the rocks.  Starting with breakfast at Annie’s in Cottonwood. From downtown Old Sedona. These two panoramas are based on the same two photos merged, but are cropped differently.  This is the Back O’ Beyond Road.  It leads to a view of Cathedral Rock […]

Day 213

Two of my 12 entires under Digital won First Place.  So I made a buck more in premiums than it cost me to enter them! ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>
