Day 348

More of the Anticrepuscular Rays.  Look closely: it had started to fade a bit, but it had gained some extra color. (Click to enlarge; BACK to return.) (A five vertical photo panorama) (Wallpaper taken from the photo above!) An extra bonus: there is a total lunar eclipse on the night of the 20th/morning of the […]

Day 347

Wednesday, December 15, 2010

Coming home on Tuesday presented me with an interesting atmospheric phenomenon:  Anticrepuscular Rays.  The beams of sunlight you see during a sunset (and sunrise, too, I presume) are Crepuscular Rays.  Anticrepuscular rays are the same sunbeams of light, on the opposite side of the horizon from the sunset.  Despite the apparent fanning effect, they are […]

I had to make a quick overnight to Kalispell on Monday.  At least the Front Range was clear.  Otherwise, there was a lot of rain. This is a five photo panorama stitched together in MS ICE. (Click to enlarge; BACK to return.) (Another five photo panorama!) (A four photo panorama!) (Wallpaper from the panorama above!) […]

Day 344

Saturday, December 11, 2010

Robyn got asked to help at a Girl Scout Photography Workshop for today.  I volunteered to help her.  7 Juniors wasn’t bad, but 31 Brownies???  (OK, 30 Brownies and one Daisy…) Robyn created a slide show for her iPad to show composition.  I had some of my Fair prints, too.  These were the Juniors in […]

Day 341

Friday, December 10, 2010

I recently joined, along with Robyn, the Great Falls Camera Club.  Most meetings we submit two to four photos to be judged by folks at Camera Clubs in other places.  The theme of the photos for this meeting was Architecture.  Here are two of mine that I entered.  These two are both details from Castello […]

Day 340

Friday, December 10, 2010

I was out last week playing with my Sigma 600mm Mirror lens and found this Coot. (1/750, f8, 600mm, ISO 320, -1/2 stop) I think most of the trouble with this lens not looking like it focuses very well is that it is manual focus, and the view screens in Digital SLR’s are not designed […]
