Comb Ridge, Utah.

#Travel #Roadtrip #Landscape #Desert #Photography #Darktable

A color landscape photo of a ridgeline of hills in a sagebrush plain. The ridgeline is broken with gaps making it look a bit like a comb. There is a flat sagebrush plain in the foreground and streaked white clouds in a blue sky over the ridgeline in the distance.

North and South Sixshooter Peaks, Utah.

(And no, I did not add saturation to the sunset colors.)

#Sunset #Travel #Desert #Roadtrip #Landscape #Photography #Darktable

A color landscape photo of a pair of eroded sandstone peaks. There is one of the left and one on the right. They are very nearly the same in height and look. Each has a conical base with a thin protruding top giving them the appearance of pistols pointing toward the sky. In the foreground is tilled fields that are deep in shadow. The sky is striped with red, pink, and orange sunset colors.

Wandering around in sandstone canyons is my happy place! 😍

#Travel #Hiking #Canyon #Desert #Landscape #Photography #Darktable

A color landscape photo showing trees in fall color in the bottom of a canyon. The foreground is fairly flat where occasional flood water flows. At mid-frame trees line both sides of the canyon. In the background is a vertical rugged canyon wall. A thin strip of blue sky is at the top.

This is an unusual canyon country structure. The kiva, below the cliff house, is above ground rather than underground.

#Canyon #Hiking #Desert #Landscape #Archaeology #Photography #Darktable

A color portrait photo of a Native cliff house and a kiva on the canyon floor below it. The cliff house has two brick columns. made with natural sandstone bricks, between which are two wood railings made from local trees. Behind the railings is a door and other eroded brick structures. About six meters below the cliff house is a round natural brick structure tucked into a crevasse between the canyon floor and the cliff face.

Embrace the rocks!

#Photography #Darktable

A color landscape photo of a tree's root system that has been exposed due to the rising and falling of a nearby, unseen lake. The tree trunk is on the right. The large roots extend out toward the left while smaller roots point straight down into the gravelly lake shore. Several very large greenish colored rocks on embedded in the tangle of roots near the trunk.

Just another Mono Lake sunset.

#Sunset #Landscape #Lake #Mountains #Photography #Darktable

A color landscape photo of a sunset over a desert lake. There is sagebrush in the foreground and then a large lake stretching from the left to the right at center frame. There's an island in the lake on the left. A mountain range is in the background with a vivid sunset of orange-red fanning out across the sky.

#Travel #Roadtrip #Signs #Photography #Darktable

A color photo of a dirt road entering from the lower left and curving toward the left disappearing at center frame. Lots of green shrubs and trees line the road indicating the road is entering a riparian area. A diamond shaped yellow caution sign is seen in the upper right. It warns, "Flooded." But somebody has written above the word flooded, "My mind is." And below the word flooded, "with questions." Thus the whole sign reads, "My mind is flooded with questions."

Just another Lake Tahoe sunset.

(But not a recent one.)

#Sunset #Lake #Mountains #Landscape #Photography #Darktable

A color landscape photo of a sunset over a large lake. The photo is shot from a small cove surrounded by large gray boulders and green shrubs. A small conifer tree is seen on the far left. A series of boulders extend out into the lake from the lower central part to about center frame. In the far distance across the large lake is a low range of mountains. The sky is cloudy with dark rain clouds. But the central part of the clouds is bright orange and red from the setting sun. The sunset colors are also reflected in the lake water where the boulders are near center frame. The lake is flat and it is a very tranquil yet colorful scene.

Someone put together a solid looking website with tutorials on Darktable, the free open-source photo editing software!

https://darktable.info/en/welcome-to-the-modern-darkroom/

Personally, I find guides like this a lot more useful than videos.

Unless they are napping, resting or checking out nesting sites, Swallows can be a challenge to capture - a beautiful challenge, well worth the number of blur shots.

Northern Rough-winged Swallows are "common" over much of the US and southern Canada during spring and summer. The seem to be most visible in our area in late spring (Apr -May) hunting insects low over open water.

The Nature Center is near the airport. It is not uncommon to meet birders who booked layovers in the spring just to see the Rough-wings here.

A medium sized swallow (long body, with very long primaries). The wings are longer than the body. The underpants and chest are tan, and the head, body and wings are brown. The bird is perched and sleeping on a branch with a green background.

A brown swallow in flight over water. The wings are two-toned brown. The body us mostly variations of tan to brown. This is a Northern Rough-winged Swallow hunting insects. They migrate with other swallows but can be recognized by how close to the water they fly, even drinking on the fly.
