Day 132

Thursday, May 11, 2023

I decide to play with my old Sigma 600mm Mirror Telephoto, with an Olympus OM film mount.  It is a bit soft, and the backgrounds tend to be a bit weird.  Redwing Blackbird. Canada Geese. ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 131

I decide to play with my old Sigma 600mm Mirror Telephoto, with an Olympus OM film mount.  It is a bit soft, and the backgrounds tend to be a bit weird.  Rivers Edge Trail at the Rainbow Dam Overlook. Pods! The old combine. ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 130

Thursday, May 11, 2023

I decide to play with my old Sigma 600mm Mirror Telephoto, with an Olympus OM film mount.  It is a bit soft, and the backgrounds tend to be a bit weird at times.  A Meadowlark. Redwinged Blackbird.  An interesting photo despite (because of?) being out of focus. An Allegiant bird.  Regularly schedule cheap flights! ~Curtis […]

Day 129

Thursday, May 11, 2023

I decide to play with my old Sigma 600mm Mirror Telephoto, with an Olympus OM film mount.  It is a bit soft, and the backgrounds tend to be a bit weird.  It is better with closeups like these. ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

The unfortunate part of driving to places you’ve been is creeping boredom…an in-phone panorama on I-15! ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 111

Saturday, April 29, 2023

I took another trip up to see the Dailylife Grandpop.  You can see Chief Mountain in this panorama! (What?  Where?) Maybe a bit better in this one.  It is that little dark point on the far right end of the mountains. The road over Marias Pass is still under construction.  I haven’t seen any workers […]

Day 109

Wednesday, April 19, 2023

The Dailylife Grandpop was looking pretty good.  The side of his face is droopy from “Bells Palsey” which is a virus.  He is getting better slowly.  The Pirate Patch helps.  Somehow.  I found him sitting up playing solitaire at the table. After exercise he went to lunch.  Most of the food is pretty good, but […]

Day 108

Wednesday, April 19, 2023

I made a day trip to Kalispell to see the Dailylife Grandpop.  The trip up was exciting while being uneventful. Here is more of the Rocky Mountain Front, behind Browning. The weather was a changin’!  Glacier National Park. Approaching East Glacier. AMTRAK running though the snow towards Points East. “Just runnin’ down the road trying […]

Day 105

Saturday, April 15, 2023

Granddaughter Toots (a SOPHOMORE IN HIGH SCHOOL!!!) is taking photography, and they have an actual FILM segment!  She was trying out the camera I loaned her (only two years older than her Grandpa…) and failed to understand just how much you have to wind the film after a shot…this predates the short-throw winder arm.  The […]
