This is what it would look like if you were at the earthworm party, approaching from below, and heading toward the area where all the food and drinks were offered.

Fireworks on Lake Union in Seattle
This was captured on US Independence Day 2013 from the roof of a condo overlooking Seattle’s Lake Union. I had the roof to myself and was able to space my cameras 40 feet apart. On a previous attempt I had spaced the cameras 20 feet apart based on calculations from a Don Lopp formula. But when Don saw the images he told me that since there was nothing behind the fireworks I could go double on the distance. As usual, things go well when I listen to Don.
The cameras were 2 Hasselblad 500Cs with 150mm lenses. Film is Provia 100F. Aperture at f16 and I would count off about 8 seconds from when the fireworks started popping.

Making Tracks
[Editor’s note: This appears to be an encore presentation of an image we saw in January, 2009. I’m looking forward to having another viewing opportunity with this one.]
Where’s the rattlesnakes???
I think I goofed and already have the same or similar image in the other folio. Taken at Palo Duro State Park Texas, September 2012. Taken with the TL120 handheld. Palo Duro Canyon State Park opened on July 4, 1934 and contains 29,182 acres of the scenic, northern most portion of the Palo Duro Canyon. The Civilian Conservation Corps of the 1930’s constructed most of the buildings and roads still in use by park staff and visitors.
The Canyon is 120 miles long, as much as 20 miles wide, and has a maximum depth of more than 800 feet. Its elevation at the rim is 3,500 feet above sea level. It is often claimed that Palo Duro Canyon is the second largest canyon in the United States. The largest, the Grand Canyon, is 277 miles long, 18 miles wide, and 6,000 ft. deep.
Palo Duro Canyon was formed by water erosion from the Prairie Dog Town Fork of the Red River. The water deepens the canyon by moving sediment downstream. Wind and water erosion gradually widen the canyon.
Early Spanish Explorers are believed to have discovered the area and dubbed the canyon “Palo Duro” which is Spanish for “hard wood” in reference to the abundant mesquite and juniper trees.
A Dog’s Paradise
Taken with the TL120 in Beaumont, Texas in April 2013. Here is the link that tells more: http://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/7358
All it needs is a dog or two. Taken with the TL120 and handheld.
Home of the Pearl
This was taken in Port Arthur, Texas in April 2013. It is the childhood home of Janis Joplin. Taken in natural light with the TL120 handheld.
God Bless Texas
This image was taken with the TL 120 in a cemetery south of San Antonio, Texas. I was looking for a different kind of cemetery image. It sort of worked. Handheld under a bright sunny Texas sky. This was taken in 2012 when we had a bumper crop of color. I didn’t think to take thumbnails of my photos before I sent the folio on. So I dug out the extras I had and used the closest match.
Alpine Plants
I hope to go back to Whistler and try this again, I didn’t have a lot of time and would love to remove the distracting background. But I really like the small plants.
Mountain cha cha
This is an experiment, I was kilometers away from these mountains. I walked a long way (can’t recall now, maybe 60 paces?). I have rubber eyes so this works for me. If it is badly mounted, let me know, I can take it!
