Beautiful. Montana still holds a special place in my heart. Never should have left.
Fog shots are my faves, and yours works just fine. nicely done.
My 2 olympus e-m1's with a 14-150 on one ,and a 100-400 on the other, plus my macro lens.
The best alternative for a facemask is no facemask. Seeing that 99.9% of masks being worn are designed for bacteria and NOT for viruses, the whole mask thing is anexercise infutility. Bacteria are thousands of time larger than viruses, so these surgical maks are completely useless, accept maybe for some psycological pease of mind. That being said,wearing these things may make one feel safe, but,not happening. Therfore we have ALL already been exposed to the virus and for 98.5% of us, there will be no adverse effects. Our bodies wil start to produce anti-bodies, and therfore build up immunities to it ,AND therfore start to develop a herd immunity, which is what we as a whole NEED to achieve. NOT my oppinion. these stats were presented to me by 4 separate doctors i personaly know,and who do not know each other. Take it for what it's worth. There are still entirly too many out there that are scared to death of death. funny how that works. Just in case ya all forget...NO ONE gets off this rock alive. Sooooo.I choose to live my live as unhidered as possible.If you still want to argue about the meritts of wearing these stupid things, and having your dayly lives dictated by an ALL loving and caring BIG BROTHER. By all means, you are all entitled to do as you see fit. As for me, I WILL TAKE DANGERIOUS FREEDOM OVER SAFE SLAVORY ANY DAY. Have breathing your own carbon dioxide. As a side not. My wife works in a hospital, and they are seeing an uptic in hypoxia cases from people wearing these masks.
I hope you like it, cause the rest of us do. Very nice. My kind of weather to shoot.
Why does anyone even pay any attension to Tony Northrop?
Nice first start. Been doing macro on and off for years. It's never easy. It feels real good when you have a picture in mind ,and then you nail it. Once you perfect macro, then you can try focus stacking. THAT one has ME working. Nice pictures.
Great shots. Absolutely love doing fog shots. Haven't had any real fog around here in a while, kinda miss the moodiness of it. Nice work.
How did you manage to get that close? those things are pretty skiddish. Nicely done.
The CDC rep stood up on national tv and told us they were all but going to lie about the statistics by logging every death that had even a trace of the covid virus AS a covid death. Even though the death was from an already underlying condition. You call that accurate information? What great way to elevate the actual numbers. Great scare tactic. No, I'm not afraid of the virus. God gave all of us birthday and a deathday. Like I said NO ONE gets off this planet alive.
thomas902 My wife goes through the same thing
rehess. I went through all the same rigamarow. All of these places have to observe the same protocalls. These proceedures are handed down by the CDC. SO, yes they forced on us by the government. My dr. noted that the influensa virus that comes around every year is actualy MORE dangerous, in that it completely indiscriminate. It targets ANYONE from 0 to 100, whereas the covid is, with some exceptions, more targeted towards older people such as myself, and many I'm sure out in UHH land. We don't take any real precautions any other time with any other virus. in fact, health
officials urge us to get injected with flu viruses in order to obtain a "herd immunity". Funny how they dont seek the same immunity strategy with thi virus? Many Dr's are concerned that we are going way overboard in sanitising eveything around us to the point that we are killing our bodies natural ability to build up antibodies, and therefore not developing an immunity to these viruses. All of these "protocalls" that are being handed down from the WHO, and CDC, are counter to our immune systems ability to fight off all of the various germs that are part of our everyday lives. Germs and viruses are here to stay. We need to get our systems acclimated to whatever comes around, otherwise we will drop like flies from even a common cold. Make no mistake, this whole thing is being managed in a way that is meant to keep us ALL in a state of errasional fear. People can believe whatever the heck they want. I, and many others are beginning to get real sceptical to what is being foistered down on us from governments, weather they be federal,state, or local. Again,I for one do not trust the Govmt. to have my best interest in mind. WE ARE heading down the slippery slope of socialism. If people want to bury their heads in the sand, so be it. I for one am going to live my life with a strong suspition of what is fed to me by BIG brother.
Had 2 Dr. appts. this week. @ separate locations,neither knows the other.
In both instances, they entered the exam room wearing a mask. Reason? both said they would loose their jobs for not wearing them. Both told me I could take mine off. With no proding from me, both said that outside of a n95 mask,which is NOT 100% effective, they both said that all of the masks that you all are sporting are doing nothing. Non of these surgical masks were designed for viruses. They were dsigned for bodily fluids and such during a surgeries, not for microscopic viruses. As far as ALL the other itterations that people are wearing? GOOD luck.I even saw a woman in one of the waiting rooms wearing a croched one. Now, how good do you think that one was.
This whole thing is one giant experiment insocial engineering. And we,(sorry) you, all have relinquest your constitutional rights and freedoms to the god of socialism.
The powers that be are using this virus to see just how far americans can be pushed before we fight back. As GOOD sheeple, we did NOTHING. We (sorry again) you all now cower in fear of the unseen "enemy". My wife, works in a hospital with,at times,covid patients. my daughter, works in healthcare, I personaly know 5 doctors,3nurses. All pretty much say that most of the hype surrounding this covid outbreak is a lie,
Tell me, before this pandemic reared it's ugly head, how much did anyone believe in even half of ANYTHING that came out of government? NOW all of a sudden they are the purveyors of honesty and rightiousness? How do we even know the true numbers being thrown about? Sorry,I'm not going to let my GOD given rights and freedoms be taken from me by an ever growing socialistic government.
You all can do whatever. As for me? I'll take DANGERIOUS FREEDOM OVER SAFE SLAVERY. It's sad to see how easily we have handed over our country with so little fight. I for one WILL NOT CAPITUALATE. GOD made me a FREE american, I will die a FREE american. One more thought. Exactly how man of us are going to get off this planet alive anyway?
When I was 19 or so, I was sharing a house with 3 other fellas. Twice during my time there , the landlord would stop by,which was rear. On both occasions he brought his pet with him. It was a cheetah. After smelling us from inside of the station wagon, Bill would let the cat out to mingle with us. Taking a picture of one with 500mm's is cool,But having one sitting among the 5 of us was awe inspiring. These things are HUGE. Don't recall what the cats name was, But I'll never forget being able to scratch his ears and pet it. I still get amazed, and it's been, durn near 50 years since.
Nice work. Congratulations.
