Thanks Ashwin for your feedback (and inspiration, if I may)
You are so right Eleanor! We pinch ourselves sometimes. Mimi lived for awhile in Oklahoma, where it was so flat you could watch your dog run away for three days. Big difference.
Very nice Johan. The industrial forest.
That is a popular spot, Chris. I really like that second shot. Perfect.
Thanks to you Steve. Nice moment. I hope you had a pleasant family day.Thanks Steve, Lloyd. I work nearby and thats about as close as I care to get with my camera usually. Feels like its really become the wrong kind of tourist spot the last few years (gawking and hawking). I look forward to the buildings being completed.
Eleanor - Cool shot of the bronco!
Today was a bit more low-key, family activities, father in laws birthday.
Getting some nice color in there now. Won't be long. We drove up past that a few weeks ago on a drive over Guardsman Pass to Brighton. That is one monster hotel!!
Thanks Joe. Yes, just coincidence. I hadn't realized until you pointed it out.Nice pics everyone from the past few days
Lloyd, hope you get well soon. Love the "yellow" theme from your past 3 post! Was that a coincidence?
I'm really enjoying this thread. Keep it coming.
Joe
Thank you Charles.Lloyd, hope you recover quickly
Lloyd: +1, beautiful colors and light. It appears that you can still walk and take pictures.. that's good. :thumbup:
Daniel: +1, well done. He does have interesting eyes. :thumbup:
sjg284: +1, it is hard to believe that was 9 yrs. ago! :thumbup:
Eleanor: Excellent light and color from the window of a moving car! :thumbup:
Chris: Nice captures of the light coming through the arch. :thumbup:
sjg284: But, where's his photo posted. Nice capture. :thumbup:...Today was a bit more low-key, family activities, father in laws birthday.
Kuau: Might be a good winter for snow. La Nina is coming in and we're expecting lots of precip. in the PNW. Maybe it will sneak through. :thumbup:
Lloyd: It is the brush fire season! Pretty close to those homes. Excellent photos. Glad the fire didn't do more damage. Hurricanes back East, tornadoes in between, brush fires in the West, tornadoes in between, and earthquakes on the West Coast. Mother Nature's irritated!Went to a family gathering yesterday afternoon, and on the way saw a smoke coming from the area of a local military installation. We hadn't had seen TV or listened to radio, and didn't know about the fire.
Took this through the very dirty car windshield.
A couple of hours later, we came out of the house to see this:
The fire was spreading rapidly in 50+ wind gusts, and ultimately almost 1700 homes were evacuated. I got a few more shots, until the homeowners whose house we were visiting were put on evacuation alert, and we all decided it was time to leave:
The good news was that even though the fire is still officially out of control, so far only 4 homes have been destroyed.
Taken with the M8, and the 28 Cron, 50 Cron and the CV 90 lenses.
Chris: Nicely done! That's such a beautiful bridge. :thumbs:
I'd love to get out shooting with you sometime. Let's see is we can make that happen soon. Thanks.
Yes, it is good. I've just tweaked my Achilles, so I can't run at the moment. I'm sticking the bike for now. Thanks.
I think you're right Matt. Very much so, it seems.
Nice stealth shot, Matt. Wonderful color and bokeh too.
