PESO: Stealth Fantail

We had a black fantail regularly visiting our garden at the end of summer. Apparently about 5% of South Island fantails are black. He usually turned up with a pied (conventionally-coloured) friend. The lighting in our garden isn't good and I don't have the option of cranking up the ISO, and

Re: GESO: Stairwell

Nice work, Dan! The more abstract ones work best for me. Stairwell #1 is just about perfect. The warm sandy tones in this colour rendition are great. Were it mine, I'd go straight to b and lots of contrast. It's perfect for that treatment I think. On Thu, May 26, 2016 at 1:54 PM, Daniel J.

Thanks for the report Igor. 8 miles is plenty close for a tornado to one's home. A National Weather Service forecaster that I know in Dodge City, KS is also a storm chaser/photographer and this week is his "Chase-cation" with some buddies. They knew that Tuesday's action would be right close to

Thanks to all for the kind words! A follow-up: What I didn't know last night is that apparently there was yet another tornado touchdown about 27 miles south of where we live. Driving to Houston this morning, first, I've noticed some large uprooted trees. Then I saw several houses with damaged
