Really nice! You have just the right shutter speed to make water kook like water, not shaving foam. Good work.

Is that a four-holer? I had one when I lived in Indiana about 1965. It was a great snow car with that slush-o-matic transmission. I couldn't spin the wheels.

Absolutely phenomenal!!! I should get so lucky.

Great shots. You have a good eye.

How did they do that? I am amazed at the construction details. Great set of pictures.

Now, that's a headlight! Love it.

Good pictures. I assume they were taken at the Amador County Fair. I took many there over the years. Yours bring back many happy memories. Thanks!

The first two are beautiful works of art. Thanks for sharing.

Love the picture. It is very good but I am sorry to see you put a 's' on the end of 'Sierra.' I know, call me a smart a**.

Beautiful! These make me homesick. I used to be a Forest Service docent at Carson Pass and I really miss the mountains.

That's the way to go! I hate Interstate Highways. What a neat cross section of Australia. Thanks a lot.

I visited the Vasa museum in the 1960s when they were restoring it. They sprayed it constantly with water containing some chemical that slowly replaced the water in the wood. I was there again in the 1970s when it was completed. It was beautiful and interesting. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Good pics. I enjoyed them. My wife and I first visited Bodie 50 or 60 years ago before it was a state park. One old man lived there whose sister had been the newspaper editor. He ran a museum in a lodge hall. Fifty cents to enter. He was a great story teller. Another man ran a lunch stand that served nothing but Campbell's Soup. He claimed he won the lunch stand in a poker game. That was it. No one else in town. The seventeen mile approach road was all gravel. At least part of it was paved the last time I was there. I've taken at least a hundred photos there. First on B&W film. It is so photogenic. Thanks for sharing your excellent photos.

I photographed the 2017 eclipse in Casper, WY with a D7200 and a 300 mm lens. Longer might be better but i got some good shots. I used a home made solar filter. You can buy sheets of filter material and I made my holder from cardboard. I shot at ISO 200, f/11, 1/10, 1/25, 1/100 and 1/200 sec. The four different shutter speeds show different aspects of the eclipse. Slower emphasizes the corona and faster emphasizes the Bailey's Beads. There was one last shot at 1/200 sec and then made a +1 EV correction in post of thee Diamond Ring. Perhaps my favorite is the 1/200 sec shot. I might comment that I was so wrapped up in photography that I failed to enjoy the eclipse! Oh, yes. I almost forgot. The filter is only needed for full or partial sun. For the full eclipse, take the filter off. And, I don't remember but I think I focused on infinity and then turned the AF off.

Been there, done that. What a wonderful place to visit. As I recall, we were there for lunch and the fried pocket sandwiches and baked goodies were great. We took several bags of cookies with us. Bowman Lake is a beautiful place, also. Your pictures are wonderful. They bring back fond memories. Thanks.
