sliding rock on The Racetrack Playa in Death Valley, California


'just ran across this and liked how svelte my shadow looked and after the biggest rainstorm in the history of recordkeeping in these parts, the desert looks inviting.

the Canon PowerShot G9, that is...

Here's one of my first image tests. It's a miniature dahlia in one of our raised beds.

Canon PowerShot G9, 12MP, ISO200, 1/250sec, f/3.5, macro mode, hand held, backlit flower

The G9 is much bigger than my last 'pocket pal', more than twice as thick and also larger in height and width, as well as weight but it still fits in my pocket.

Mount Rainier and startracks from Puyallup Ridge lookout - Mount Tahoma Trails - Cascade Range, WA ©2007 Ed Book (all rights reserved - DO NOT COPY)   http://edbookphoto.com


©2007 Ed Book

a couple weeks ago while I was out on Puyallup Ridge after sunset, I set up my Canon EOS 1Ds MkII camera on a tripod and framed in on Mt Rainier and the sky. For this composition, I made about forty thirty-second exposures using a remote release cord so as not to move the camera. In Photoshop, I imported all the individual exposures into one file in register and changed the blend mode of all layers except the bottom to 'lighten'.

big cat tracks on the cross-country ski trail groomer corduroy pattern   ©2006 Ed Book (all rights reserved   DO NOT COPY)   http://edbookphoto.com


a few weeks ago, Seth and I were out on the Lower Yurt Trail with the LMC groomer at night. We groomed to where the machine could go no farther and then turned around to return. We found these tracks on our fresh groomed corduroy... upon closer examination while trying to determine what kind of animal had recently passed by, we found the tracks to be cat, big cat, and there were small tracks inside the big ones... a kit... the small feet followed in the mom's tracks but occasionally would step out if mom stretched her stride. I've heard the cats vocalizing and have heard their prey (snowshoe rabbits) vocalizing their last... I have yet to see a big cat in the snow but have caught glimpses of bobcats or lynx as they disappeared following a perspective dinner.

so... the question today is:
Poll #683054 hare or rabbit
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 53
