So ladyface and I both love Longmire. We stopped by Valles Caldera on our roadtrip and hoofed it to the cabin (closed to vehicles) at the time. Tragically, my Canon’s battery died, so it was back to cellphones for that portion. We also saw a bunch of other places, such as Shiprock and Kasha-Katuwe (recommended!) Tent Rocks.
These are not nice photos, but if you’re looking for something fun to do, I’d recommend a visit to any of these sites. I apologize for the selfie-ish nature of them. We did this for memories and weren’t in it for the landscapes so much; she took pics of me with her phone, and vice versa. Be glad you’re not seeing my mug! We also hit up South Fork, CO, Treasure Falls, Four Corners, Mesa Verde, Los Alamos, Bandalier, Rio Grande, Taos, and Angel Fire.
A few weeks ago my girlfriend and I went to Death Valley for the superbloom (among other things). Wish we stayed there longer but only had a day+ to do stuff. On this first photo if you look really close near the bottom you can see two people for scale:
Also been trying to identify the tail markings on this F-18 that showed up over Badwater Basin one day but without much luck. The paint scheme appears to be a little unusual (black tail and what appears to be a black spine). Anyone have any idea?
Had an hour or so to play with the D500 at Conowingo today. Totally under the gun, had to get setting put in as I was shooting. Couple weird things. The clock doesn’t get set during initial setup. The diopter is set in the dumbest spot to begin with. It’s set in AFS-S and I had no idea how to get it to AFS-C.
The eagle in front of the trees almost looks like a watercolor. Nice work. Were you taking those somewhere in the Pacific northwest? I have never seen so many eagles until I came out here. They’re everywhere! And they make such unlikely noises!
Thanks gents. Conowingo Dam in central MD. We have ABEs all year long but they peak while migrating in early November. Lucked out and got there mid day during heavy pumping so there was a lot of fish action for the Eagles and other birds including a few blue herons, black cormorants and gulls.
My very last day at one facility I used to work at I took a shot during sunset—best shift ever since I didn’t have to work at all during it! Guess it’s not super recent and it’s kinda crappy, actually, since the photos merged about as well as the Titanic with an iceberg, but it still made me happy!
A blind shot I took yesterday with my phone. The sun was too strong for me to see anything on the screen. I really like how the colours came out. I wish I could be rid of the cars in the background though.
