Photo of the Day, April 1, 2013

No April fool’s joke, this, another amazing sky sculpture shot from my balcony. Larger panorama here (click to enlarge after loading) – and even that could have included a lot more sky.  The panorama shows over 100 miles from north to south.  This view shows about fifty  miles north to south, and the mountain is 65 […]

Photo of the day, March 26, 2013

Just as I was shooting this one of my coworkers came by and said, Beautiful, yes, but the pollen is just killing me. Looking at the photo I am reminded of the contrasts from the top of the mountain when it snows and I shoot the white on blue.  Never fear, we’ve had big snows […]

Photos of the Day, January 28, 2013

Time to get posting again.  Over the weekend I did some  major site work, and from what I’ve seen, I’m very happy with the changes.  I moved my entire site, including two wordpress applications and the slideshow database and it all works. So now I’ll go back in time and post a bunch of things […]

Photos of the day, November 29, 2012

Last night as I drove home I thought that I would have a good shot at shooting the full moon.  However, as I drove home the mountains obscured the moon and after it was gone from sight I promptly forgot about it until it had risen higher in the sky than I wanted to photograph. […]

Photos of the day – UFO over Albuquerque 9.22.2012

Got a call from a friend just a few minutes ago and he started out with a “wierd science” question.  He told me to go out and look at the moon and then look just a bit to the north west of it and tell him what was I seeing. I saw it, and was […]

Photos of the day, 7.21.2012

The day is still young, but these were from this morning. This is a good example of an nearly impossible shot without a tripod and a HDR software package.  I actually tried to have Photoshop do an HDR conversion (High Dynamic Range) but it didn’t work out, so what I ended up doing was taking […]

Photos of the day, Saturday July 14,2012

Today, its about the bugs. Those wings look like plastic. And this guy – I guess I’ll have to change my strategy to take bug photos, especially with larger bugs.  The macro mode on my camera will focus down to one inch, and as you can see, parts of the bee are in focus, and […]

Skyrocket – Photo of the day July 4, 2012

I suppose it’s fitting to post a flower called a skyrocket on the 4th of July. I had no idea of it’s name till after I was back editing images. The flower is a biennial, with clusters of bright red, trumpet-shaped flowers on slender, often solitary stems up to 2-2 1/2 feet tall.  Typical of […]

Photo of the day 6.21.12

Fruit of the sun For the last two years late frosts have kept us from having a crop.  I think I had one peach 2 summers ago, and there was not a one on the tree last year. This year it’s all about peaches and I’ve already gotten 4 freezer bags done.  I suspect I’ll […]

Photos of the day, Sunday and Monday June 3 and 4

Last night marks the second week since the big eclipse event in Albuquerque.  That means that the moon moved to the opposite side of the playground and set the stage for another eclipse.  Last time the moon moved between the earth and sun, this time the earth was to move between the sun and the […]
