Signs That America May Be Having a Love Affair With the Automobile

This is a stack of 6 tracked exposures, if memory serves. Taken with a Pentax DSLR & a Tokina AT-X 90mm f/2.5 (manual focus macro). One other thing Nebraska has plenty of is dark skies. :)

Nebraska (my home) does not have mountains or (many) waterfalls but the Great Plains has most interesting weather, and in the Spring storm chasers come from all over the world to seek supercells with great structure (and, sometimes, tornadoes).

So many things to like about this image. Choice of focal point (the closest rocks), the long shutter speed, the use of depth of field… this image = my “aha!” moment for the why of ND filters.

What are the chances that the dog leash would be the perfect length for this spacing? A terrific capture!

But he answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the heaven is red. And in the morning, It will be foul weather to-day: for the heaven is red and lowering. Ye know how to discern the face of the heaven; but ye cannot discern the signs of the times -Matt 16

IMHO translucent PETG makes the best snow/ice pieces. Far better than mere white. #3DPrinting #BambuLab

This is an (over-processed) image of STEVE, with associated green picket fence, that I was fortunate enough to see on Mar. 23, 2023 in southern Montana. I got 3 exposures between 9:52 & 9:53 pm local time (iPhone 13 Pro)

This is one of the first images that I took on my first Pentax DSLR. I made the lens out of one of the optics in a door peephole viewer and a Pentax body cap. No post-processing. #Pentax #Nebraska
