Ford…Fairlane?
This might have been a 1964 Fairlane, but the details (like bumper blinker) do not match images I found. This was one of the two vehicles abandoned on Jay and Ellen’s property from previous owners. There are so many bits of nostalgic junk back there that I could be in photo subjects for a straight…

Little Amonita
We went on a great hike, and we saw a lot of mushrooms. This was the prize of the bunch. Pentax K10D, 50mm, 1/8″ iso 100. Three layers in gimp: base, color enahanced, gray value.

Great Blue Heron, Fisherman’s Wharf, Lopez Isl
I saw six in this area that morning. I would plan on bringing a tripod and a 300mm lens next time. For this one I used a 135mm with a K10D, circular polarizer, ~400iso, 1/200. Post in Gimp.

Watmough Bay Panorama
This is not a super duper pano, this is full of bracketed shots. The difference (ghosting) of the branches is a combination of me shifting footing and wind. (Hugin with HDR and Gimp to bring out color.) This one is probably too wide for a triple monitor setup, but it might work.

Fort Ebey Sunset
This is the way I wanted the sunset to look ;-) Pentax K10D, 28mm, 200iso ~1/40. I like the triple sun glare spots that came out in Hugin.

Future of Hydrogen Economy is Ammonia?
Hydrogen economy? Ammonia. Anyway, I ran across a story. I just wanted to put it on people’s radar. I created a bit.ly link for the article. And I don’t know why I made it upper and lowercase. I shouldn’t have. But so it’s a bit.ly, bit.ly/NH3-Cracking. So cracking. NH3 is the chemical formula for ammonia.…

Why Bikes Make Smart People Say Dumb Things — Medium
This so telling about our society: We’ve been conditioned since infancy to ignore most of these fatalities, along with the behaviors that cause them. If you’re a typical American, your first experience of speeding was while strapped into a car seat, and you rode past half a dozen fatal accident scenes before speaking your first…

2014-01-01 Skagit View of Olypics [wide wallpaper]
I absolutely loved this view. I got this with a 300mm lens, 1/250@f/5, Pentax K10D, and a monopod. This did not start out as an HDR image; I got a lot more contrast into the mountains using Gimp. And that is what I wanted. I’m learning that an Overlay layer works really well for a ND…
