I waited many hours to be right next to Keven Cronin's microphone, and I had to defend the stage from drinks. Never have I seen such a big band

On a mostly cloudy day, the small amount of sun you get can highlight the landscape

Just messing around with my mirror lens on a Pentax KP, you get donut shaped bokeh!

This is a single 30 second exposure, very lucky to have kept my feeble Celestron Astro-Fi Newt stable for such a long time. I used my Olympus E-PL9

Just before we hiked up Deer Creek road last Sunday

There must have been a building with a fireplace here, next to the lake. It probably burned down, because only the chimney remains. Trees were killed

From our July backpacking trip, 2022 I was carrying a camera, but took this with my cell phone, using 1.8mm focal length (13mm equiv)

This photograph was taken from the Rio Grande National Forest, with snow on the ground, but having melted off the trees.

Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken during a backpacking trip in the Flat Tops Wilderness in northwestern Colorado. I was attracted to the color contrasts in the cliff lichen and wildflowers. My husband was descending the slope and I asked him to look back

Time

From the file name it was 11:55 on July 9, 22 years ago

Lighting

Natural light, pretty cloudy

Equipment

I used my Olympus D450Z resolution 1280x960, no tripod

Inspiration

The view!

Editing

I see that I modified it with the command line tool xv, but I don't remember what I did to it.

In my camera bag

I generally carry an Olympus camera, today I ordered a TG-6. Cameras sure have improved since I took that photo!

Feedback

Go out in the wilderness and take enough time to really see!
