When I point out this rabbit -- most could not see it - OK I did zoom the picture ------
BUT I said dont look for a rabbit- look for a WHITE spot in the brush then the Black eye
P Bear walking towards Buggy Snowing
I have been on a "the tundra Buggy " tour. First understand the buggy is very large. the floor inside is about 6ft 4/or 6" above ground level - I am 6ft3" & could stand up straight with with ample head room.
What we were told. once out near the bear area - NO ONE OUTSIDE ., these bears have eaten for months & are simply awaiting the ice to freeze, to go back hunting seals, the show up in and around Churchill because the Churchill River ( fresh H20 ) enters the "BAY" at churchill & sense its is dumping fresh in to the salt bay it freezes before further North. I will add a couple images , 1 will be the inside of BUGGY, 1 is one of a lot of images
2nd image is a Rabbit - I saw several & kept pointing out the rabbit - must others just said they could not see it

great shot. I have walked under this C47 wing & stood beside the floats......... at the WVL airport.
One can not appreciate the size of the C47 on floats until you do .... its a Beast !

SonyDog this reminds of a small photo project I undertook during a Photography class in the mid 70's as a tech elective while studying engineering. my self made & professor approved assignment was to capture the muzzle blast of a 44 mag handgun, using a Minolta SRT 201 B&W, film as I recall asa400.... what was that tri x or plus x??
trust me it took ,during daytime, many many attempts. I mean several rolls of film, back to lab to find failure... try again .... repeat , repeat....
the final positive result was done by the following & we took 4 images
Photo done at Night, with out saying in a place (aka gravel pit)
aperture was "small" for DOF
shutter on "BULB"
we did use a small flash
focus was ... with out saying , manual accomplished using flashlight,
timing was as follows
shooter of gun ready , when you hear the shutter open or see flash ..fire gun
release shutter ,
move camera angle for next & re-do
Each photo came out .....
I wish I still had the images..... image captured flash one of which , we never realized.... gun was a revolver... so there wash flash or blast from 2 places..... head space between cylinder & barrel..... and at muzzle..... muzzle was about 2 feet long ....
good luck with your project
The entire area is pretty amazing- this was taken after taking off out of Pullman Moscow Regional airport ( KPUW ) I thought the crop beginning to show yellow showed the dune like hills of the area. I think the crop was Rape Seed for making canola oil

many thanks Brought back memories. Been Old Iron sides several times If you are a history buff... where did the masts, yardarms etc come from ? Where do the term "Kings Pine" come from ?
masts came from Maine .... actually at least one not farm from where O grew up
if you like a little history , an article describing masts & there sizes
