MISCELLANEA 8.15.17

... from the past month or so, a rather random assemblage of pictures i've taken ...

... atop quimby mountain, in western maine, this was one of my first major outings after the accident ... now lined with giant windmills, just over the horizon is the canadian border ... i especially like the shadow of the tree ...

... resisting the urge to purchase a new piece of glass, i mounted a $5-at-a-yard-sale thirty-year old pentax 50mm f/1.4 onto my fuji t-1 and did a bit of exploring up around the colby college campus ...

... mostly playing around, i was drawn to this building's wooden trim lines ...

... in the simplest of things can be found great visual mystery ...

... john took me for a little coastal wanderabout ... i was fascinated by the classic geometry of these church windows ...

... in the adjoining cemetery i explored texture ...

... for sure not a picture that'll ever earn an award, but i couldn't resist since i've always enjoyed watching seagulls drop clams onto the rocks to break them open for their supper ...

... i saw a young lad investigating land's end at the tip of baileys island ...

... across harpswell sound a schooner returns home ...

... now in ohio, i'm sharing the couch with meeka, jon's friend ...

... relaxing, i decided to do a bit of practice with "focus stacking" ... this very simple picture is comprised of 13 separate images, each with a slightly different focus point ... especially for close-up photography in low light, focus stacking allows you to get much deeper depth-of-focus ...

... here's a shot that required seven major steps, none of which, by the way, was focus stacking ...

... i'm healing, i'm wanderabouting, life is good ...
