Christmas In Downtown Denver

COVID Fatigue sucks...BIG TIME

Guess what? Mike's Camera has our Olympus 7-14mm f2.8 Wide Angle Lens on sale! We have been waiting for the lens to come on sale.

I called Mike's Camera in Wheatridge, Colorado and our good friend, Jeff stated that he could get his hands on a couple of the lenses in a couple of hours. Jeff (as always) didn't disappoint us. The Mike's Camera team are awesome. Why go anywhere else right?

We picked up the lenses and headed to downtown Denver for a little street photography.

With masks on, we braved the semi crowded Larimer Square while on our way to Union Station via the 16th Street Mall.

Our goal was to shoot Union Station at night was we just walked around snapping away.

We found a really old courthouse building, Bryon White that must have missed many a times in our previous walks. Wide angle photography at it's best!

Off to Union Station!

The temperature started to fall fast so we headed back to the car.

I don't know what we were thinking, but we walked straight through a super spreader in Larimer Square. What were we thinking?

Merry Christmas everybody!

Rocky Mountain Arsenal and National Wildlife Refuge - Part Deux

Yes, I bought a new camera. The new and improved Fuji XT-4. The XT-4 is FAR superior than it's predecessor (XT-3) in all aspects. You can blame Michelle for converting me to Fuji. Now, I must say, I didn't' blatantly spend money on this camera without having a plan. I sold my Nikon Z6 and associated lenses which more than paid for the Fuji. I can honestly say that I feel good about buying the new camera. The only regret that I have is that I didn't ask for more money on the Fuji "kit lenses" that Michelle and I had (27mm). Fuji has NO stock on any of their lenses and I could have made a killing on the lens. They both sold within minutes of posting them on eBay. Dammit! So, you may be asking yourself what the fuck that this has to do with the RMANWR? A test drive on the new camera. Michelle was kind enough to let me "borrow" her Fuji 100-400mm lens. Possession is 9/10 of the law. It is now my possession. The Fuji 100-400mm is far super

Thank You For The Smoke (California)! Wyoming Sucked

Another attempt at Astrophotography gone up in smoke. Thank you California for the ruining our Wyoming weekend. Don't worry, we will be visiting soon and will definitely leave a mark on your ass. The smoke was so bad in Wyoming. Thick, grey and disgusting. Of course, this didn't stop people from going to one of our favorite spots in Wyoming. Medicine Bow National Forest. We dressed for 60 degree weather. We didn't expect 35 degree weather with fog and blustery wind. Glad we packed additional clothes (hats, gloves, scarfs etc). I am ahead of myself. The day excursion to Medicine Bow was the second day. We spent the first day at the Wyoming Territorial Prison to visit relatives. Ha...the prison is now a park. The prison's most famous prisoner was Butch Cassidy. The only prison that Butch was incarcerated in. Pretty good for career criminal. We spent most of the day at the prison. Historical Prisons will the only ones that I will visit. My mother raised m

Denver Zoo (New Lens Test)

Michelle got tired of me asking if I could use her Fuji 100-400mm lens. Really? It's her damn fault for talking me into buying the new Fuji XT-4 in the first place... bitch. I found it on sale at Mike's Camera and with the rebate and free stuff they provided, it was hard to pass it up. Since fall is upon us, bird watching is pretty much out as they have mostly migrated to warmer climates. Well, that is except for the ones at the Denver Zoo. Camera, new lens and COVID Masks in hand, we headed out to the zoo. Well, as you can see, there are more than just birds there. The Fuji Lens blows my old Leica (Panasonic) 100-400mm out of the water. BIG TIME. The Fuji is sharp in the entire focal range. A bit more pricier but the image quality speaks for itself.
