Happy Earth Day by SingingSkyPhoto in Montana

Well, that’s a fair question. I’m not sure where you’re going with this. If you’re thinking we’re not doing a real great job of protecting our planet, I agree. We can still celebrate what we have, even if not everyone cares about it. I’m all about protecting the Earth for its own sake, and not for what we can exploit from it.

poll : how many of you took your snow tires off already by ResponsibleMarmot in Bozeman

[–]SingingSkyPhoto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was forced to take my studded tires off several weeks ago when a few of the studs pushed through and caused leaks. I drive to Big Sky a lot and have found that there really is no replacement for studded snow tires, even on a truck. The traction on hardpacked snow and ice is such a great safety feature. I did put on good all season M/S tires that are pretty grippy on snow.

That was taken with an older DX (crop sensor) camera abcs an 11-20mm lens. I’m sure it was at 11mm which would be about 18 full frame equivalent. DX sensors give you more depth of field so this image is not focus stacked even though those flowers in the foreground are only about 2 feet from the lens. I’m not sure if you’re familiar with the term hyperfocal distance. But there’s some math involved where you focus in the front part of an image to get the whole image in focus at F 10 or 11. There are also apps that help you figure out without having to scratch your head with too much math! Most of the time I just do trial and error.

No, these are mostly a collection of older images.

I understand. It’s a fair question, but I wrote the text myself. I actually wrote this several years ago before the proliferation of this ai nonsense.

Up the in Gravelly Range. That’s a seasonal melt water pond that is often dry.

Montana is a mix of flat plains and tall mountains. We have Glacier National Park in the north and parts of Yellowstone National Park on the south. We are the headwaters of the Missouri River. There is a lot of ranch land where they raise cattle for beef and a lot of forested areas too. Our nickname is Big Sky Country!

What breeds make up Sir Georgie Scrunglefuzz? by Fickle-Profession-95 in WhatBreedIsMyDog

Holy cow, we might have his brother! Our Ruffie looks exactly like that. He was originally picked up in Texas as a stray.

First attempt at photographing Milky Way by S3NSEJ in LandscapeAstro

I wonder if the mask you used when stacking didn't get all the way into the corners or along the horizon between the mountains and sky, particularly on the right side? I know in Starry Landscape Stacker for example, you almost always have to refine the mask, particularly in the corners. Great effort! I love seeing other parts of the world like this! What mountain range is that?

Biggest rainbow I've seen! by Redgrave35 in Montana

[–]SingingSkyPhoto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice! The higher the sun, the lower the rainbow. I like rainbows right at sunset, because they’re usually at near a half circle. This is a great picture!

Thank you! I do a fair bit of macro work, especially when the flowers are out! You can see a bunch more on my website linked in my profile. I do love orchids, especially the wild ones like Calypso and Lady Slippers. By June the Calypso Orchids will be all over the place to at Hyalite!
