Continuing to experiment and learn how to best process black and white images in Darktable. This image is from Hidden Lake Trail (near Logan Pass). I think the leftmost peak is Haystack Butte, the central peak is Mount Gould, and the rightmost peak is Bishops Cap. Taken in color and converted to the black and white image I imagined using Darktable. A long-term learning process, but that's basically what life is about - always learning, always growing, always being kind and open.



-500 telephoto (my go-to hiking setup).

We all need a little support from time to time, to help keep us up. Feeling grateful today for the support I've received from folks the last couple of years. I hope you're getting the support you need, too.

Have a good Monday!

A couple of shots from last weekend at the beach.

Despite bringing a frankly absurd amount of photography gear, I didn't end up doing a ton of shooting. I think I really needed the break after the move in May, and getting settled into the new place through the first half of June. So it was nice to just spend time with friends and reconnect a bit.

Spent this past weekend down on the Washington coast with some friends, celebrating the birthday of one of the group. The weather was frequently cloudy, but the sun did peak out from time to time, including this wonderful sunset.

Seemed like a fitting photo to post on the solstice. Welcome to summer, everyone! Or winter, if you're in the Southern Hemisphere. :D

Looking into the carousel building at Lighthouse Point Park. Also really like the tree reflected in the windows.

Got a little break from the rain this morning so I got out for a quick walk around Lighthouse Point Park and took some photos of walls and doors.

It wasn't the that I had hoped I'd be shooting Saturday night, but like they say, if life hands you electrical storms, shoot the lightning bolts. So I did.

The Pleiades, the seven daughters of the Titan Atlas. He was forced to hold up the sky for eternity and could not protect his daughters. To save them from being raped by Orion, Zeus transformed them into stars.

The cherry blossoms are peaking and so are the tourists. From the 2023 National Cherry Blossom Festival, along the tidal basin.
