“Chomp!”
Perhaps this isn’t one mushroom eating another, but I can’t unsee it.
“Foggy Hills”
“Peekaboo”
“Hazy Diamond”
Diamond Peak is 30 or 40 miles up the river from where I was standing on Mount Pisgah. So yeah, the view was hazy, but most of the time you can’t see it at all from here due to clouds.
“Drunken Sailors”
We’ve had strangely mild winter weather so far, but looks like the hard frosts the past couple of nights finally did in these mushrooms.
“Spray”
Some lichen with the frost melting off in the sun.
“Rainbow Rays”
Well, I don’t know if the constraints really helped, but I did get some photos that I rather like. Here’s one, even though it doesn’t quite capture the colors in the fog that I saw in person.
Sunday I took out two camera bodies, five lenses, flash gear…and only got a couple photos I really liked. So today I’m going to try something different: one camera body, two lenses I don’t frequently use, one tiny flash. Let’s see if this constraint=creativity equation works out for me.
“Peaceful Morning”
A somewhat chilly view of Fall Creek from the trail that runs above it on the hillside. Who needs a drone?
“Fisheye out of Water”
Intersection of Fall Creek and Timber Creek.
“Unnecessary Sign”
Fortunately there was a handy log just upstream.
“Frostmelt”
Walking the trail in bright sun after freezing fog resulted in millions of sparkling drops everywhere.
“Rebirth”
Spotted this one tiny mushroom while I was hiking through a completely burned area along Fall Creek.
“Escape”
“Spring Preview”
Spent some time in my yard playing with a new-to-me lens (Sony 1.8/35 SAM on an A58). Pretty noisy even at fairly low ISO but I got some nice macro shots with pleasing background blur.
“Butterflies in the Rain”
Another of Eugene’s many murals.
“Weathered Wave”
Architectural detail from Eugene Fire Station #1 with (obviously) some cinematic post-processing.
“No Parking Bud”
Possibly the most Eugene parking meter ever.
“Circle of Mushrooms”
These tiny little guys were only about an inch across all told.
“Pigs in a Tree”
I dunno, maybe nobody else sees round heads with snouts here.
