Re: Some B&W images

I have seen the lone pine. Even took a picture. Wasn't the treat that I thought it would be as the tourist perspective is way too common for my taste. Still, glad I got there. 17 mile drive is something that everyone should experience. The first set is preferable with #2 being most desirable. You re...

Sury Got Rain

I got snow. Be advised, I just wanted ti get out and snap the shutter. All of these were taken one handed as I had to hold the umbrella with the other.

Re: A300 - very good camera.

Upon further review, #3 in set 1 is especially nice. Boulders are interesting subjects. Maybe you spent more time on them. I would have.
Sury, old gear might make a good blog post.

Re: A300 - very good camera.

Quite the combo. Very sharp.
Was that more of a Minolta camera than Sony?
Regardless, the person holding the camera should get the credit.

The unique bokeh works in your favor in the 1st image.
#3 reminds me of Cheerio eating her cake. 😁

It's Been 1 Year

since Cheerio unleashed her assault on the planet.

Re: Just Some Shots

We would have seen Eagles if they had been flowing. Disoriented fish are easy prey.
