Comin' at Ya

We were fortunate to be in Texas when the Union Pacific 4014 locomotive (Big Boy) was passing through. We set up our camera in the lovely small town of D'Hanis and caught this scene as the train approached. Image captured from Panasonic Lumix GX85 4K frame series with ffmpeg, and procssed with GIMP.

Lighting Cheyenne Station

Taken at the train station in downtown Cheyenne, Wyoming. The Union Pacific operates near here, including the "steam shop" for the historic locomotives. Nice lighting fixture, very "Southwest" style. Image processed with GIMP.

Bougainvillea

01 Jul 2020 10 6 536
Taken on Grand Canary, Spain. We were taking a tour from our cruise in 2013, and stopped in the small town of Teror. These bougainvillea in the sun were so pretty, I had to take a photo. Try viewing on a black background. Image processed with GIMP.

Ray of Light

02 Jul 2020 19 5 562
During our visit to Grand Canary on the 2013 cruise, we took a tour of the area. The tour included the small town of Teror. This is the Basilika "Nuestra Señora del Pino". Once inside this church, I was quite taken with the strong ray of light coming in from the high window, and striking the columns. View on a black background. Image processed with GIMP.

Maui and Iced Tea

06 Feb 2020 7 5 428
Ice tea, lit up by the beautiful sun of Maui. Taken on our lanai (front porch) which overlooked the Pacific Ocean. This was actually a lens test. I used the Nikon D50 we had at the time, but attached a non-automatic Nikkor 50mm F1.4 "classic" lens. I'm still using that manual, fixed lens for some activities, even though I don't have a Nikon camera any more. The sharpness is remarkable. Yes, that was our view from our living room and lanai, enjoyed it for 9 years. (The string you see over the fence was fishing line placed to keep the birds off of the barrier.)
