Day 330

Wednesday, December 3, 2014

A week and a few days ago the Great Falls Camera Club had a Macro photo shoot at Herman’s Flowers here in Great Falls.  It was a lot of fun, and the next few days will have some of the ones I took. Macro photographers don’t “do” out of focus…we do Art. (1/20s f/4.0 ISO100 100mm […]

Day 243: Anchorage (Hope), part 2

Friday, September 19, 2014

(A couple of new photos at the bottom!  And one in the middle!) After the Potters Marsh we drove on to Hope.  It is about 40 miles, at the end of one of the roads out of Anchorage to the South West. It was still pretty cloudy, although there wasn’t much rain with it. (Dailylife […]

Day 217: Juneau, part 2

Sunday, August 24, 2014

Next we went to the Glacier Botanical Gardens.  This was a landslide a guy named Steve recreated into a Botanical Garden to reclaim the area and prevent another slide! Besides being very lush and colorful (and wet…), Steve had another great idea!  He takes trees, with roots still attached, and plants them in the ground […]

Columbine from the Dailylife Wife’s flower garden. (1/502s f/2.2 ISO40 4.8mm (35mm eq:31mm) Galaxy s5) A different view of one. (1/542s f/2.2 ISO40 4.8mm (35mm eq:31mm) s5) Yeah, I could have gotten better/closer/more detailed photos with my Canon 100mm Macro…but these were taken with a cellphone…no wonder digital camera sales are sliding! The Official Gardener-ette: […]

Day 168: Toots at Sea!

Saturday, June 21, 2014

Well, almost.  She spent part of the morning at the Seattle Aquarium.  All photos by her on her $19.99 Vivicam. A starfish in the dark. And one in the light. A glass jellyfish. Real jellyfish. Another bunch. Ummmm… Blue fish. Blue fish two. Three. Again, ummm… Okay. Odd angle on a fish.  Lion fish. A […]

Day 161

Sunday, June 8, 2014

We have a straggly bush at the corner of our driveway that has never lived up to its promise, but it does have some nice flowers in the spring. (1/90s f/8.0 ISO500 100mm macro -1/2 stop Canon 7D) (1/180s f/8.0 ISO500 100mm macro -1/2 stop 7D) (1/90s f/8.0 ISO320 100mm macro -1/2 stop 7D) ~Curtis […]

Day 23

Last night at the Great Falls Camera Club meeting I gave a small class on low light photography and light painting.  I showed how to use a flashlight to illuminate an object, in this case a plant. Under the room lights. (2s f/4.0 ISO100 17mm Manual Canon 7D, 17-40mm L) No lights. (2s f/4.0 ISO100 […]

Day 347: The Brown Booby on the Cruise! Part 3

Monday, December 2, 2013

We passed through an area along the Na Pali Coast where the Brown Booby lives.  These seem to be two males. (Canon 7D, 70-300 L) Males have gray beaks.  Females have yellow ones. They were nice enough to fly pretty close to the boat! All of the photos other than the first, last and overhead […]

Day 339: 18 November, earlier in the evening, part 1

Wednesday, November 20, 2013

(These titles keep getting more complicated!) We attended the Smith Family Garden Luau.  It starts with a quick tour of their gardens and time to walk around and enjoy them in the setting sun. Cactus in Hawai’i?  More than you’d think, but this is outside of the gate. (All Nikn P7100, except the next one!) […]
