^Great shots^

I like that you captured how close the wing tips are to the surface at full articulation.

Something that has always intrigued me is the ability for a camera to capture things the eyes often miss.

I'm doing a fair bit of time lapse photography and really enjoy the results, someday I'll post a few on my YouTube channel

Meanwhile-
This shot of Mt. Baker was shot with moon light only, 5 seconds zoomed, pull out to wide angle and another 5 seconds.
Kind of odd, but I like it.

I remember film cameras and doing a double exposure to get an effect like that. Digital is just so much easier!

Actually did catch one wing in the water! It is fun to go back and study things you didn't catch in real time.

Looks very well fed.
There’s a big old maple just off the corner of our property that has always had a family of squirrels, a few tempted and failed to out run the Rat Terriers we had years ago. I used to get a call at work now and then warning me there’s something in the backyard I’d need to deal with- I knew what that meant, a Bird, snake or squirrel had lost the fight

Cave of the winds back in September.

My wife is pretty claustrophobic but agreed to go on the 40 minute tour, she clamped down on my arm during the "wanna see how dark dark can be" segment and did very well as long as the caverns were bigger than a living room, I'm proud of her facing fears and overcoming them.

Nope, did not climb that ladder, it's a left over supposedly from earlier access points

^slimmer, faster mini dragon^
The salamander didn't move other than to posture and breathe, they are very slow even at full tilt. Cold and wet environments slow most things down except moss and algae growth :-)

Fire lookout on Mt. Pilchuck this year, that was the first one I'd ever been to right at 50 years ago- Good lord time does go fast!
Thanks to many caring individuals it's in much better shape than the first time I summited, back then there was no glass and it was very aged by the elements... now I'm aged by the elements and have to wear reading glasses.

He gets into the finer points of post-processing in Lightroom to increase acutance and that's great if you have that. I don't because all I have is a Chromebook and a very basic photo editor. Without the ability to do detailed post-editing, a lot of it is down to being able to recognize optimal lighting when you take the photo.

Found this old poster that I made. A bit faded and had some mouse chewed edges.
Essentially- a photo of a picture i made with photos that i took.
I think it fits the thread's criteria. :)

Sunset right outside the Coho in Lincoln city.
I'm very spoiled, I crave ocean front/views if we are on the coast.

There is something about having my first cupajoe while watching the mighty Pacific be the way it's been for a very long time that makes me feel grounded and calm.
