North Willow Canyon (with the new camera)

I had to go out to Tooele today for work. On my lunch break I took a little drive out to the west, just south of Grantsville.

155 mm "Palladin" shooting 98 lb rounds 5 miles. If you look closely to the upper left of the barrel, you can see the projectile.

Evening Snack

Nikon D50, Nikon 50 f1.4D - 1/80 second, f1.4 ISO 800

Shot with available light and the white balance set to incandescent for color correction. I chased the hamster all over the bedspread and couldn't get her to pose until I provided a slice of banana. Her name is Skippy and she is quite proud of her white stripe.

Two Hundred Thousand Miles

Nikon D50, Nikon 50 f1.4D - 1/80 second, f1.4 ISO 400

Hardly art but exciting just the same. The 1991 Honda Civic DX I purchased in 1998 with 98,000 on the odometer reached 200,000 yesterday evening. The car has a lot more rust and many new parts but the engine still runs great and gets 42 mpg with the air conditioner off. I took the picture in the garage with the door closed. The window light was not sufficient to illuminate the 2 on the left hand side of the odometer so I held up a fluorescent shop light on the right side and diffused it with a thin piece of white fabric.
