Day #16 (Bonus)

This shot is posted only to show that we grow BIG tumbleweeds in my part of the country. It was blocking the road I walk on daily.

don't know about that first one walt, but the other two are.

I wasn't either, but when looking at the Merlin APP on my phone, there was a photo that looked similar to the first under "Red-Tailed" Hawk. The last two are the same bird. Ha!

hey Walt, they blew over from California. lol

I have been burning quite a few tumbleweeds when the wind allows out here. The fun of living in the Southern Arizona Desert. Ha!

Day #18 Jan. 18

I was playing around with bracketing, preparing for an HDR sunset. After combining the three shots for HDR, I didn't really like what I had, so... I played around some more. Tried some Oil Paint effects using GIMP. This is a threadfor learning, isn't it. Ha!

I don't have PS, so I used GeodesicHDR from Microsoft Research Cambridge. I haven't really been impressed with it. I think I can probably do better using GIMP. It only takes quite a bit longer. Ha!

Now you know why I don't have PS (Adobe) Ha!
