The photo website, Shutterfly, had an offer recently (ends today, 21 Nov – get there before midnight!), for a free 2017 calendar. I chose to make the “easel calendar”, which is a set of 5×7 cards that sit in a small wooden stand. I love the easel method of displaying photos. I’ve ordered many square photosContinue reading “2017 Calendar – Done!”

Nature’s Giants
We drove through the Avenue of the Giants in Humboldt County, stopping whenever we wanted to walk through the woods and explore.

So, I went down to the “Lens Corrections” and clicked “vertical”. I had to crop after that because it distorts the photoContinue reading “Straightening buildings”
There’s a light at the end of the tunnel
. . . and it’s the moon. My telephoto lens needs repairs so all I had to take a picture of the super moon with was my 17-55mm lens. I propped it onto the tripod and went outside. And there were clouds everywhere. I was so disappointed. Until I realized the clouds add a lotContinue reading “There’s a light at the end of the tunnel”
