A little over 5km from my house. The above photo is a panorama of 18 photos, each 24mm, f/2.8; the resulting photo (if the online calculator is correct) is effectively 15mm, f/1.8.
Also: I like fence posts.

On Friday, I:
I decided that, even though the sky was clear, I’d stay in and not keep myself awake past 2 am again. I was in bed reading by 11 and asleep before midnight, and I think that was the right decision.
And now I’m going to start packing up the cabin. My time here draws short. As always, I’m feeling conflicting emotions: I’ll be happy to be home, but I’d love another week doing this kind of thing too.
Vacations: They’re Never Long Enough.
The 1st Street bridge, specifically.
20-image panorama, each 24mm f/2.8 1/250 sec., assembled in Hugin.
Also, there’s a slightly different crop on Instagram.
The weather’s supposed to turn wintry again for a few days, so I took advantage of today’s nice weather for a good long bike ride—27.8km, which took about 1¾ hour or so of cycling (I stopped to take photos and to chat with a friend, so I was gone from the house for 2½ hours).
I took my camera along, too, and snapped some photos.
The contrail photo above is actually a panorama of about six photos. Compare and contrast below with a single-frame version of the same image.
Leaving the farm first thing this morning, we saw this.
Nerdy details: Panorama of 6 photos, each 50mm, 1/80 second, f/1.8, ISO 800, stitched together using Hugin.
But I guess 155mm of rain in a single day—honestly, in about 6 hours—and then another, what, 30mm in about half an hour a couple days later will do that.

The white lines in the image above show roughly where the water should be.
Before it got too hot today (34°C again, with a humidex of 38), I hopped on my bike. I took it easy—it was already about 25°C at 9:30 in the morning—and I took some photos of BU.
I also took a few more Brenizer-style panoramas, as practice. One didn’t turn out, but three seemed all right. (There’s some weirdness to the pole behind the deer statue, but I’m posting it anyways.)
As always: if you want prints of any of the photos, here or elsewhere on my site, let me know.
I snapped about a dozen photos of a ’55 Chevy that was sitting on the street at a ball game this evening, and stitched them together, Brenizer-method style.
I’ve been reading lately about the Brenizer method (something I’ve apparently been doing already, without knowing that’s what it’s called). Essentially, you take a bunch of photos of a still subject, then stitch them together into one image. The resulting panorama will have the depth-of-field (ie, background blur) of a single photo taken with a much, much wider lens.
