A. gorgeous morning, hardly a cloud in the sky. Durango is above 6500' altitude it is easy to have a super morning.Equipment
Some time ago when I was using a NIKON D80; ISO = 400; F=4.5; shutter = 1/180.Inspiration
I am a fan of the old steam engines and was taken with the amount of ambition used to take care of the engine.Editing
No post was utilized.In my camera bag
Now, I have switched to a CANON RP mirrorless, full frame with a 24-240 lens. I sometimes carry a CANON 50-600 for some shots.Feedback
