    Taken yesterday at the Ink Pots. I believe the circles in the bottom are the springs and apparently they are around 4 deg.C year round.

    And this one was shot at 1/2500 sec, f4, ISO-100. I liked the combination of curves from the bicycle racks to the curve of the swale around the building.

    I didn’t have a picture till this morning when I went for a walk at Inglewood. Then I saw this log and it fit the assignment perfectly – a little bit of both . It looks like a little rodent home. SOOC

    Glenmore Reservoir during a weak chinook arch afternoon. Erased electrical transmission lines on horizon and did 20% AI enhancement along with cropping and minor rotating to keep the horizon level in Luminar 4.

    My journey to capture an eclipse photo
    1. A large “pin hole” image….. no luck

  27. Robert says:

    Second try…. a kitchen colander…. this I heard would also work…. one of the holes seemed to work but… there was a flaw in the hole… but still it is a circle photo.

  28. Robert says:

    Final try….. photo directly of sun with my cell phone then manipulate in Lightroom, brightness, contrast and cropped,
    Thought I thought I might get a half circle nip out of the bottom of the sun… but still no luck…..
    Samsung S23 1/3000sec f2.2 ISO 25
