I found these growing on a freeway noise reduction wall off HWY 26 near the interchange with HWY 217 in Portland, Oregon. ISO – 64 1/50 second F16 The sun was quite intense at 2:30 pm. Just pointed the camera straight up and had a nice blue sky for a background.

A walk with GIMP
GIMP and Raw Therapee are free photo processing software. I started with a .raw file picture from a walk in Commonwealth Lake Park and completely overdid it, I like it.

We got a sunny (ish) day, LUCKY. Used a polarizing filter and found it difficult to use because my eyeglasses have an ‘auto-darkening’… Continue reading Mt. Denali (a.k.a McKinley) – August 2021
Aspen Retreat – Anderson, AK -Day 2 – August 2021
The mushrooms are beautiful and lucky for me growing next to some berries. I’m on vacation and too lazy to identify either the fungi or fruit. Seems like the only thing missing from these ‘little-world’ pics is some little people. I’ll keep looking 😉

He came out pretty clear, Phew. I like the shadow on the backdrop because I don’t have another flash. SonyRX10 IV Auto with flash, That’s All.
