JPR Photography

But, I’m sure I caught the spirit.  👋🏻

Did you see us waving as we were driving up the 5?

BTW, dogs are great photo buddies. They keep an eye on your back and never tell you to hurry up.

I don’t speak Russian or Ukrainian either, so fortunately English works for everyone too 🙂

Give me a shout. I don’t speak Russian or Ukrainian, though. Best I can manage is Spanglish. 😄

I had doctor and P/T appointments in St Helena, which necessitated an early morning walk to make it over the hill in time. Sore knees aside, the early walks were glorious. That light with the dog makes my heart sing.

It’s my fav.

Reminds me of my time in San Francisco and trips to those beautiful areas.

I always like your choice for black and white. Reminds me of barns of where I grew up.

🙂

seeing your photographs!

I’m sure there’s an official photography term for that.

about photography. I just joined this group to say that I really appreciate that first photo. It instills a sense of tranquility. A scene in search of a story is what it makes me think, haha: like a still from a movie.

I just happened to see it in a thrift store for $7. I had to get it because I’ve been using a crappy plastic tripod. It was too light and could have blown over in good wind gust. So I have 3 tripods now, but will send it to the thrift store and have the Pro setup and a spare-which also happens to be plastic.

I treated myself to a carbon fiber tripod with a fluid (video) head a while back. It’s great for panning. I just got a gimbal head, which is also good for panning, although I haven’t had much chance to use it yet. I’ll get more use out of those guys around January when there are more birds and I can just set up somewhere and stay.

This is the pic that was published in a Credit Union calendar after I took 250 shots at wildlife preserve. This was just when it was getting dark and moon was peeking over mountain about an hour South of Albuquerque. I used the 400mm lens for entire time.
