    I've always thought photos like these, where the photographer's image is captured in a refection are always interesting, different and plain cool. Well done. Now if I'd would only think of doing that to myself. I like too how you include your settings. But that would be too much for me to consider also. Very sharp for a 15th of a second. You have very steady hands.

    It's almost like "looking for Waldo!"
    Nice job.

    Neat idea, at first I didn't see you but then I realized you had to be there since you took it directly in front of the glass ;-)

    I'm going cross-eyed trying to see your image. Next time post up the RAW file.

    Hi Sinbad
    I started including settings in the hope I would learn something from them. Instead I'm often left puzzling over why I picked the settings I did.

    It must have been a serendipitous moment, I really don't have steady hands ( I have the blurry pics to prove it). I was surprised when I saw the shutter speed myself.

    Hi Bob,
    Didn't your mom warn you not to cross your eyes...they might stick that way. ;)
    I sent you an email, let me know if it doesn't make it.

Silver Creek Falls State Park, 03-19-11

Image
Warning: Long post alert! A week or so ago Ron and I took a hike at Silver Falls State Park . Warm summer afternoons will find hundreds of people hiking at the park. It's a constant battle of passing slow hikers...usually in groups, and bumping past oncoming hikers. Not exactly a peaceful forest experience. Take a hike on a cool, wet afternoon, and you'll find far fewer hikers. The hike is called the Trail of Ten Falls . On this day we will visit 6 of the 10 falls, and be treated to a number of unofficial falls running off the slopes of the canyon. South Falls is probably the most visited of all the falls. It's close to the day use area, and can be viewed without hiking down the canyon. The trail goes behind the falls, but we opt to take the foot bridge for the better view. An aside, my co-worker claims to have repelled over South Falls (and came up short on rope).  South Falls, 177 ft. Canyon Trail Off we go down the trail and to a series of stairs taking ...

Overnighter at the Coast

Image
March 1-2, 2026 Shake down cruise, er camp. Found us a teeny, tiny camper van to run about the countryside wreaking havoc wherever we go. Meet the new money pit. God help us it’s another Dodge, or rather a Ram. A Promaster with the infamous terrible transmission. What can we say it hit a price point that no Sprinter could meet. We actually adore her. I just hope she doesn’t fail us on some dark and lonely road.  We spent too much time and money getting her appropriately outfitted, then took ourselves to the coast for a night of camping in the rain. If anyone knows our past camping history you would know it always includes rain. Fortunately the rain wrapped up over night and the next day was pretty nice.  Spent some time at Yaquina Bay on Monday. The sea lions were busy hunting lunch and having a very successful hunt. The water was this wonderful color of blue and turquoise. Didn’t know it at the time but per another post the color is from herring that are spawning in the bay a...

Yamaha V-Star 1100

Our son brought us along to be the voices of reason, strength in the face of temptation, shining examples ruled by the mind and not by passion. He probably should have brought someone else. He sold his pickup, and was looking for it's replacement, a four wheeled replacement that is. There were several options to be viewed up in Portland then after that a visit to one of the motorcycle stores to do a little shopping. I wanted try out some jackets - the never ending quest for the perfect jacket. We should have known it was a mistake to even point the car in the direction of Portland. We knew there was a bike up there, exactly what he was looking for. The whole auto shopping thing was just a ruse, a deception. We were really there to look at bikes. We were only fooling ourselves. I went to the apparel department, father and son went to the showroom. The bike of his dreams: 2006 Yamaha V-star 1100...with ape hangers Later when I joined them I found my own Yamaha...don'...
