Photo of the Day December 2022

[OldMacs4Me]

Finishing this year with a miraculous recovery of a 'hopeless' 4x5 neg, from June of 1979. This shot of the Freemont Overlook in Capitol Reef National Park was shot at an exposure of ƒ-64 @ 1/15th of a second. That would have been an underexposure all by itself but I used a polarizing filter as well so it was possibly 3 stops underexposed! I really was not expecting to be able to salvage anything, but did the copy anyway. PhotoShop came through in spades.

Schneider 121mm ƒ-8 Super Angulon lens, Vericolor II film, ƒ-64, 1/15 sec.

What a wild sunset. Impressed that the ultra wide angle caught the moon and the sunset. Can’t tell but the moon was wayyyy out. It was a pretty one.

Posted this one today, bison in Yellowstone in winter. Sadly, on Wednesday, 13 bison were killed in an accident involving a tractor-trailer outside of the town of West Yellowstone. It occurred at night, when they are difficult to see in the dark.

Yesterday we had brilliant sunshine, and this morning we woke up to some thick fog, so I decided to make a diptych of the two looks from the same plant. I kind of liked the symbolism of beginning and end/bright and somber.

I love this. Beautiful glass work. Kind of reminds me of the neon Jelly Fish I saw at the New England Aquarium in Boston.

His work is fantastic. This Chihuly piece is in the foyer of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. Here in Seattle, we have the large Chihuly Garden and Glass museum/exhibition at the Seattle Center. And just down the road in Tacoma, is his Museum of Glass, with a complete hot shop – really interesting to visit.

I cannot even imagine the hours that must have been put into that piece. His work is just exquisite. Looks like something from a fantasy or sci-fi movie.

His work is truly mind blowing. Here's a link to an online folder of shots I took at the Seattle Center's Chihuly museum if you're interested -
