Back from Oregon & posting more eclipse photos!

Photo taken at: Woodburn, Oregon

Back from Oregon & posting more #eclipse photos! We took a family vacation up to Portland & went down to Woodburn for the day of the eclipse.
Seeing a total solar eclipse in person was amazing. Photos just don’t do it justice.

For one thing the corona is really bright. Not harmfully bright, and not enough to block out stars and planets, but enough that it drowned out the shadowed moon when I tried to do full-sky shots.
The sky was dark blue like twilight, with a light orange band around the horizon. Where the sun would be was the solid black disc of the moon, surrounded by the streaming white corona, looking like a home in the sky.

It lasted a little over a minute. It felt like no time at all.

More thoughts & pictures at the link in my profile, in case you’re interested.

San Diego! I didn’t make it to Comic-Con this year…

San Diego! I didn’t make it to Comic-Con this year, but I ended up visiting the weekend afterward, when the crowds (and hotel prices) are back to normal. Some of the trolleys were still wrapped, and one souvenir shop had 50% off superhero shirts, but otherwise the city had cleared away most of the con’s presence.

Sadly, we don’t have anyone on site at #ComicCon this year. We’re following along online with everyone else! (We’ve posted this a couple of times, so I thought I’d try some post-processing using AfterFocus to blur the background. Not bad, though the edges are a little sharp.)

NOTE: The original photo is on K2R, Flickr and Speed Force. Need to see if I’ve used (or at least saved!) the background-blurred version anywhere already.

A real bird photobombed the boat ride view of LEGO construction. It held still for a while, and when it finally moved, one of the younger passengers exclaimed, “It’s real!”
