Random Photos - What have you shot lately (non-inspection)

I still know how to run, turned on the A/C unit and about 50 of these guys came from no where

Sissy!

Today’s solar eclipse from Houston

From a chilly visit to the Cadillac Ranch. Not my kids.

Love the bright colors against the dark overcast. I really should stop by there when I drive to Colorado next month.

Taken at a bull riding rodeo in Paxton Nebraska a couple of years ago. Nikon D 300 and 70-200 2.8

Took these yesterday about 30 to 40 minutes east of Nashville on US 70, we moved 3 times during the eclipse to have clear view due to incoming cloud cover. It was awesome! I have seen many partial solar eclipses which are cool, but this was the first total and it was a WOW moment. Even at 99% eclipse it is amazing how much light the sun still puts out. I can now say that I have seen the “Dark side of the Moon”.:lol: The 2 partial shots were taken through the lens of our eclipse glasses with a point and shoot the total eclipse shots were taken with same camera no filter. Looking forward to 2024.

Awesome lens, isn’t it?

Thanks!

Yeah, the overcast gave the colors a chance to really stand out. A tad of digital enhancement there as well.

Yes it is!!1 I have the 24-70 2.8 as well, love it too.

That’s on my list to acquire, along with a Vortex Razor spotter for digiscoping.

Look what I found in one of our moving boxes when unpacking. Haven’t seen this shirt in quite a while.

I wonder what Bill Borner’s fee is to inspect the Arch? Looking at the new plaza, before the eclipse.

And a wayward penguin at the zoo when the penguin house was closed that day.

Dont know why its rotated.

Nice feel to that. Very evocative. Love B&W!

Got a new, to me, spotting scope and took it out to look at the moon. Handheld my Olympus TG-4 in front of the ocular lens and got this. Looking forward to digiscoping a lot of critters in CO & WY later this year.

It should yield some pretty outstanding stills and video once my scopecam adapter comes in.

Cricket in a crawlspace today

Pretty amazing the patterns nature puts on critters. He’s got some spurs too.
