Did you know that I actually have a website where you can find all my artistic endeavors including photography? I do, so I'm going to start promoting it.

Still working on editing star photos, slowly, because I fell asleep, but here's a time lapse. I caught a couple meteors, but probably should have gone out earlier, and to a darker place (2 sleepy 2 drive etc)

Killed by a sniper's bullet in WW1 poet Joyce Kilmer remembered trees beyond the trenches:
Trees
I think that I shall never see
a poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed
against the sweet earth’s flowing breast; a tree that looks at God all day, and lifts her leafy arms to pray; a tree that may in summer wear a nest of robins in her hair; upon whose bosom snow has lain; who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, but only God can make a tree.
With spring comes the variety of festivals dedicated to flowers. All of April is the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival. I did not know there were that many types of tulips.
Times like these I wish I had a proper macro lens, but regardless.
Decided to try and grow my own Kirby cucumbers this year for pickles. I planted these 5 days ago and they have aggressively made their way out. Unfortunately, it has not been sunny so I had to use a fluorescent light as artificial sun. I just hope I don't kill them in the next few days.

One autumn weekend I decided to put my new tent in use. Packed my gear and drove to a nearby coastal nature reserve. After the well slept night I woke up to enjoy my morning coffee watching this view. Good times! #nature #photography #photo #sunrise
Snowmelt gave the Rocky Brooks Falls a loud, crashing rush into the river below.
I'll try posting three #photos, all made with the Pentax LX, small in the hand, dust and water protected. I used Kodak Ultra Color 400 film.
One of my first shots after upgrading to Nikon D810. I thought it was a decent start to a long friendship #photography #photo #sunset
What if instead of taking good pictures, I just did weird ones
My first project in photography was bird portraiture. I use a 300mm f/4 lens with 1.4 teleconverter, which makes a pretty heavy rig. And no image stabilization, so I have to shoot at 1/500. Never use a tripod. Too clumsy. I stalk the birds, dressing in drab clothing and moving slowly.
I'm a newcomer to photog.social. Just joined Mastadon the day before yesterday. I'm an amateur photojournalist, blogger, film maker, retired pastor, interfaith peacemaker. Here's a photo I took during a snowstorm here (Wilmington, Delaware) on March 20th. The light globes are water drops on the glass covering the lens. (Waterproof camera)
