Day 225

Thursday, August 18, 2016

More Perseids to come!  But first, the full moonrise that wasn’t… I headed out to watch the Moon rise last night.  It was mere hours from being full! Not much was visible through the clouds and smoke on the horizon.  Then I saw a reflection in the camera… There was a quite spectacular sunset going […]

Day 224: The Perseid Meteor Shower Part 1

Friday, August 12, 2016

There is an annual event where the Earth swings through a trail of rubble left behind from a comet (there are several, actually) called the Perseid Meteor Shower.  We see this as shooting stars (meteors) for a night or two in August. From The New York Times: “The Perseids occur when Earth runs into pieces […]

Day 221

Tuesday, August 9, 2016

In a complete switch of subjects…I was digging through some stuff in the basement and found these photos.  Circa 1975-1976, probably taken on my Argus C3 Matchmatic!  I think they were photographed in or around Rossland, BC, but I am not sure. The little bike on the right is a 1972 Yamaha R5C two stroke […]

Well done, Toots! ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 219: Fisheye Fun!

Sunday, August 7, 2016

I had forgotten my Samsung Galaxy S5 cellphone had a fisheye effect.  So I have combined two of my favorite photographic quirks:  Fisheyes and panoramas!  Click on it a couple of times to see it full-sized.  BACK to return here. It is quite a bit different than my other Fair panoramas as seen in recent […]

Sunday, August 7, 2016

A couple of photographs from the Fair: These were taken on my Samsung Galaxy S5 cellphone.  This is the art filter “oil pastel”. “Cartoon” This cellphone has a bunch of filters I haven’t played with.  More fisheye fun tomorrow! ~Curtis in /\\onTana! {!-{>
