I took a few shots of the moon last night with the P900, and of the sun with a visual solar filter. I don't have a solar filter for photography which would show more detail. Only one sun spot on Ole Sol yesterday. Not much activity in the past few years. The moon pic was resized but left full frame, the sun shot has been resized, and cropped to center it in the frame.   I'm going to take some pics of the moon in the next few nights through my Astro Tech AT102ED telescope for comparison. If I get some decent shots I'll post them so you can compare the differences between the P900 and the D7500. The hard part with the D7500/AT102ED combo is getting proper focus. The two shots posted here utilized the P900's internal focus, which looks pretty decent. |

Austin Healey 3000 About a week ago Giulia (my Alpha Romeo) and I took a short trip to Snoqualmie Falls which is about haveway between Seattle and Snoqualmie Pass in the Cascade Mountains and only a 20 minute drive from my condo. There was a mint Austin Healey 3000. My dad was for many years an office manager at a British Motor Car Dealer in Seattle. Of course there were many Healey's there over the years and my brother owned a bug-eye Austin Healey Sprite. I can't remember the different series of the 3000 and forgot to carefully check this one out. I'm guessing it might be an early 1960's model. What a gorgeous machine!     (e-mail size above with license number blocked will have to do for now). |

The favorite pastime for the dogs on a summer day, swimming and retrieving at Folsom Lake (while dad hangs in the Lounge). Compass (a Golden Doodle) in the foreground watching birds, Linus (a Golden Retriever) in the distance bringing his bumper home.  Compass (left), Linus (right) racing for the finish!  |

I shot these pics earlier today. I was hunting trains when I caught this Egret fishing. He caught something right after I took the first pic, but I couldn't tell what it was. By the time I could squeeze off the second shot he had already caught and eaten whatever it was. These are shallow lakes, probably no deeper than 3-4 feet, and quite warm water so it could be sunfish, bass, crappie, perch, etc. He looks well fed. I had to resize this pic from 6mb so the quality isn't as good as the original. First shot was resized only, second shot was resized and cropped. Camera is a Nikon P900 at 2000mm, handheld.   |

I took a drive today looking to capture some trains for video. Found one but I can't post here unless I were to post them to youtube first. I might do that in the future. Anyway, I took a shortcut to home through Mose Coulee, smaller than Grand Coulee but no less interesting IMO. The geology around here has a spectacular history and is some of the most recent geologic activity other than active volcanoes. And we even have a few of those in the Cascade mountains. If you want to know more about the geology of this area do a search for 'Nick Zentner Geology Lectures' on youtube. The guy is a great lecturer IMO. I've watched many hours of his lectures over the years. Some day I'll make it a point to go see one live. Central Washington University is only 70 miles away. Anyway, the volcanic rock (basalt) around here is as hard as nails, and takes on many interesting forms. One of those forms is column rock formations. Which is what I took pics of today to share with all of you. I hope you find them interesting, I do. Unlike Grand Coulee Moses Coulee flowed off to the west where the Columbia River had already cut a large channel heading south towards Oregon. The water flows from ancient Lake Missoula still produced enough flow to carve out two large channels, in addition to the original Columbia River. An amazing amount of water flow. All pics were taken with the Nikon P900. Photos were resized to fit the Pro-Boards guidelines and are around 1.4mb each.      |

I told you I shoot trains!
Here's a shot I took of a BNSF double stack climbing up from the Columbia River level of about 500' where it will top out at 1200' or so. Doesn't seem like a big grade but it is about 3% in this area. For every 100' forward 3' up. BNSF has a set speed limit of 30mph so the locomotives don't tear up the track too badly. The sound is incredible. Taken with a Nikon D7500 and 18-200mm lens. Resized from over 10mb to 1.6mb.

Beautiful! Love trains! Thanks for the post. |
