Photo of the Day January 2023

Great Blue Herons in the large nesting area near our Seattle home.

I finally joined the iPhone triple camera revolution, and bought an 11 Pro to replace my single camera SE 2020.
I would have preferred a 13 or 14 Pro but really can't justify the extra expense, so here's the first night shot from it...



I tried to get the thing to go into night mode but it turns out I was inadvertently using the telephoto lens.
Anyway, came out very well I think; no PP apart from removing a bit of flaring from the ground area.

52mm, 1/25 @ f/2, ISO 400

Cheers :)

Will finish the Glacier National Park series with the dreaded cliché shot. Let's be brutal; The lighting was crap on this one. I was hoping it would improve as I set up the camera, instead it just got worse. Still I only had one sheet of film left in the holster so I went ahead and pulled the trigger. To add injury to insult this was the most severely damaged of the V-II negs. On the plus side, in attempting to clean things up I accidentally turned it into a sunset. Archived proof suggests it was merely dull grey overcast skies.

Schneider Xenar 127mm lens, V-II TypeS (C-41) process damaged film (4x5), ƒ-11, 1/10th sec.

Perfect perspective but the horizon line is tilted! Regardless I love the image.

I can fix that, I was shooting from the side of a steep hill, got the film plane vertical to remove the distortion from steep angle, didn’t get the horizon perfect. Thanks for the compliment, it is one of my favorite shots. Mansion was purchased and fully renovated and modernized in the early 2000’s into hotel and restaurant. I gave the new owners an 8 x 10 for their opening.

After a tremendous amount of work to the infrastructure and exterior, this is the same place!
