Stages of Flight
I tried my hand at a bit of ‘vintage’ processing last evening and have decided to post the results for review…despite the slight banding visible in the vignetting that I just can’t seem to correct. The lack of detail, yet presence of grain makes for an interesting effect in the series. The process [...]
Stopover
Each year the Sandhill Cranes stop on a migratory path over Montana, grubbing for a meal in the stalks of last year’s cuttings. Today I saw only 10 or so, but a few days ago I bet there were about 50. That’s not a huge number by any means, but it’s more than I [...]

Today’s image is [...]
