We had a bit of weather today, causing the power to go out a few minutes after a friend showed up to help me wire up some lights and outlets in the attic. My computer UPS runs off a deep cycle marine battery, so we didn't have any problem running a few compact fluorescents for a few hours while we did the work.
After he left, I went for a short walk to get some shots of the neighborhood. I liked the way water was splashing into a storm drain, and after a couple of fairly standard low shutter speed shots, I tried a few with the on camera flash. This one is my favorite: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/5557597473/in/set-72157626345222124/ The river was running impressively full today. These are just some snapshots: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157626220275869/ This is normal winter flow, 2-3 times the normal summer flow: http://www.flickriver.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157623139114983/ I'm guessing that the log in this photo is 4-5 feet in diameter and 40-50 feet long: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/5558152676/in/set-72157626220275869/ Unfortunately I was at the wrong end of the property to get a clear shot of it as it went past. I tried running to the downstream end, where I had a better view, but still didn't get a good photo of it. This is looking upstream from my back yard before the winter rains came a little over a year ago: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/4129027713/in/set-72157622740257283/ This is looking downstream at my backyard from the bridge in the above photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/5558153978/in/set-72157626220275869/ -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
