Hello everyone: Like a "bad penny", I'm back thanks to David Wayne and the new chat owner Kyle Sands. Kyle!! Miracle of miracles, my old password worked! Thank you guys so much. Dunno where to begin. I am living with my sister in Winter Haven Florida. She gas a beautiful house on an acre o...
I was, and I still am STUNNED regarding your day hike to Iceberg notch. I doubt most people have the slightest idea just how difficult that hike was. 26 miles and God knows how much elevation gain and loss between the Swiftcurrent Inn and Iceberg notch--and back. :shock: :shock: :shock: I tried gett...
Hi Pete, We wish you the best on your move. Family is important and we understand your decision as we moved closer to our kids and grandkids one year ago. It sounds like you have a plan for more adventures after you get settled. I will look forward to your report and pictures. Thank you for all you...
I guess I have confused some of you...and looking at my emails from a number of people, some are not keeping up with posts. 8) The Glacier Conservancy Staff will select the finalists The PUBLIC meaning you guys, will then vote on the FINALIST entries selected by the Conservancy Staff. My best GUESS...
Pete, all of the photos are stunning. I'll be interested in seeing how the voting works. I'm not sure I can pick just one. I would love to have a calendar using all of them. Thanks for the compliment! When the actual voting begins, I doubt I will have more than a couple images for consideration. Ma...
All 30 of the images here have now been entered into the contest. They are scattered through the other images. https://glaciergeezer.smugmug.com/Glacierorg-Photo-contest/n-2f2wD8/ I was cut off again but that's ok. I have more but those will have to wait until next year. Mustn't be greedy, right? 8)...
How will you communicate with your Ukraine friends? What language will you speak? Just curious. I'll send you a PM later today but, I'm pretty sure they both speak passable English as well as being fluent in both Russian and Ukrainian. There is far more to both of them. Tanya is much more than a pr...
Read the fine print Stupid!! You would think by now at age 73 I would know that. 8) I couldn't understand why my Sony f 2.8 16-50mm SSM lens wouldn't "autofocus" on my new Sony a6600 using my LA-EA5 lens adapter($250.00) I use that lens a LOT because it is my best all around lens. Duh...y...
For my photography friends....... One aspect of my photography that I am proud of is that... I do very little in post processing to my images. Almost all require(imo) lightening of shadow areas and some amount of "dehazing". The dehazing seems to improve contrast and saturation. I found o...
Pete, I really enjoy your photos and look forward to more. I don't post often, as it seems I have a lot of trouble signing in, but do look at the site often and always go straight to your photos. Guess in the future I'll be seeing Florida pictures! Good luck with your trip to the Ukraine and your m...
Hi everyone: Please do NOT vote until I get all my images uploaded. I'll let you know when that will be. I have until Nov 15. Until then you can view the first 20 here. You can watch as a slide show by clicking the "play" button just left of the green box to buy images(Mine are not for sal...
I submitted 20 images to the photo contest at glacier.org a few minutes ago. However, for some reason it cut me off after 20 images. Dunno why since we're supposed to be able to submit as many as we want. I have 10 left to submit, including some of my best(imo). What the hell? pete :( :( Photo Subm...
I saw the raven link that you posted. And from what you said it sounds like it really is Bonnie and Clyde! And I believe that they make you happy... wonder where Clyde was hanging out all that time? Sounds like last time you saw Bonnie some other bird was trying to cut her out of the herd. (Or rath...
