bluekat's Journeys

A few sunsets from this spring and summer. I've gotten a little spoiled having a view of sunsets from my house. I probably have sunrise views too, but that would require getting up in time for sunrise. Maybe I should just wait up for them. July 5 July 5 July 5 Jun 17 June 17 June 6 June 6 May 25 May 25 May 25

A few days ago was one of those typical PNW, spring days. Sunshine. Puffy clouds. Dark, ominous clouds. Something different in every direction. Grabbed the dog and the cameras and headed out into the center of the valley. 1/160 • f/16  • ISO 200 1/320 sec  • f/16  • ISO 20 kkk 1/200 sec  • f/16  • ISO 200 1/80 sec  • f/16  • ISO 200

I'm happy. My computer is home after a visit this weekend with it's maker. A loose connection fixed and a bios tweak, and apparently we are up and running again! I managed to maim this one in a record 4 months of ownership. Panorama I was off reading good stuff on digital grin when I came across a thread on panoramas. I've done panos before. I was taught to do them by hand. Satisfying? Maybe. Time consuming? Definitely. So I decided to try out Photoshop's photo merge. I like panos, so I'm not sure why I haven't tried this before now. The photos were from our 2008 motorcycle tour. Not much to say really. Photoshop did all the work. I'm impressed with how quick and how well it stitched the photos together. I'm rather pleased with the results. Not a great pano by any means, but not bad for a group of snapshots. It's inspired me to go out a get some more photo sets and try a few more panos. Happy Holidays to All & Be Safe out there!
