This was about a 25-shot stack. I believe the last 8 or 9 shots alone were required to get the entire inner structure of the flower in focus. D800 | 105mm | f/9 | 1/60s | ISO 100
@Nikonsince1974. I really like this image. The story is the struggle in a place where its hard to make a living. I used to have to horses, and even at -35 they were ok, as long as they had plenty of food and water, and had been out all fall.
After a week of gray, cloudy weather, the sun broke out today. And every dog owner had the same idea: Head out to the dog park! When I got there about 4:30 this afternoon, the parking (barking?) lot was full! It was great to see all the people and their frolicking dogs there. And it was the "golden hour." Speaking of golden, I was shooting with one knee on the ground when I noticed a dog with his back to me, flinging dirt on me. Then I saw the "dribble" on my shoe. Little stinker. Goes with the territory, I guess. Anyway, here's a pic:
Caught him through the window of a local bar/restaurant. I wanted a candid shot, but he saw me and posed. This was one of my favorite shots the other night when I was out.
Very nice! Is that Crater Lake in OR? I sure looks like it. I took this photo at Crater Lake back in 1997 with my Rolleiflex 2.8E and Panatomic-X. Still one of my favorite images!
Another select from the misty/rainy beach shoot with Ashley. The only 2 lenses that I used were the Sigma 50mm Art and the Nikon 70-200mm VR2. I kept cleaning the lenses between shots and covering the camera.

Well, I have shared several wintry scenes on PAD the last week or so. After looking at them again and reflecting on what I was doing, I decided that scene after scene of the same kind of landscape was getting kind of boring. So, I still wanted to capture winter landscape scenes, but I thought old buildings covered in snow would be kind a nice change, telling the story of how difficult it is to making a living in remote places of Montana. So, the other day drove down to the ghost town of Bannack, Montana's first territorial capital. And of course, there was very little snow on the ground there (no webcams to check for conditions), But I decided to practice my photography anyhow. So, I am starting a series on the town to share on PAD, just a few. I decided to process the images in black and white because it gives the scene more of an old time look. A little bit of sepia included as well. I thought these might interest people in coming to visit this part of Montana as it is very scenic, several ghost towns in the area, lots of wildlife, lakes, mountains, and fish. The first shot is for the vehicle afficionados here, we do have vehicles in Montana.

Ah yes, the ubiquitous Anole. They are everywhere in FL. They will occasion find their way into our house. I always know there is one when we hear one of our cats start growling. They have it in their mouth and all the other cats show up to see what they have. It is as if the one is saying "I killed this one, it's mine, go get your own!"
Now if some cat would just get that really annoying Geico lizard (incorrectly called a gecko, which is a totally different animal from these ones)
