Earth's escape velocity = 11.27 km/s, so get used to being here. I take between 5-8 K photos per year. Some are even good!

If the sky is clear tonight, it's probably going to be worth being outside with your camera, folks. #aurora

Uh oh. I found the Gisnep archives and have decided I'm going to do all 500+. I mean, I'm already doing all the Monday crosswords (now back as far as Dec. 2020 there), so why not?

Okay, yes. The iPhone 16e has a much better camera than the iPhone 8 which I have now shelved.

Beautiful rime ice has formed around the Red Bluff area above Quesnel. I spent some time walking around with my camera.

In today's unnecessary censorship, I'm listening to Jann Arden's "Good Mother" on Boom 97.3 and this was taken out. I don't even remember what it was replaced with because it was so benign and forgettable.

I used to photograph chairs wherever I found them. This is terrific!

For the #BlueSkyArtShow theme of #one. All things considered, it's probably the most important one, too.

I used five RAW files and the "focus merge" feature in Affinity to process this photo. I made a preset to copy edits but if anyone knows a faster way, please advise.
I'll bet @jeffontherock.bsky.social can tell me if it's orange peel fungus, too. 🙂 He's an incredible fungi photographer.

It's #FlyDay and my #Birds post today is a Snowy Egret. I'm getting used to the new camera and how it does focusing - getting some good BIF picturs. 🪶 #EastCoastKin #Nature #Wildlife #Photography

I just used the (free) "Depth Compositing Tool" in Digital Photo Professional 4 for the first time. I'm going to try Affinity's (free) "Focus Merge" later today, too.
I wasted a lot of money on Adobe products. This 5-shot image turned out great and I didn't even edit the RAW files.

It was a frost-ful morning on the ice at Dragon Lake.
So nice to have proper cold weather back.
