All I can say is the same thing as last time....wow!!!!. I particulary like the propeller shot.
I will post a pic of an original etching my College art professor did....it reminds me of the shot of the woods and creek.
Thanks again for posting.
Kewl. Did you stay at the Best Western in Missoula? It looks familiar...
yeah...that's the one..I asked for the 4th floor in case there was a view and that's the result. I Kinda liked Missoula...College town... should have been more trigger happy in the old town center but was dark..
Daryl, as always, your pictures are stunning. What river is that by your house? That crazy dog, getting in that cold water!!! :-O
Someday we'll have to drive up there and meet you at your local pub for a round of drinks and pool. You know Wendell would be all over that!! 🙂
I stayed at that same hotel about a year and a half ago. I thought Missoula was a pretty nice town too. You weren't too far from Rankin-land. 2-3 hours NW'ly from there maybe.
Daryl,
Your first shot of the creek reminded me of this etching. This was done by Stephen Fischer. This is the last trial proof before going into a 100 series. He took a black and white photo of some landscape in Norfolk Va. Then etched, soak in acid, ecthed, soaked in acid.... and then some more. He ended up selling all of the prints to his students for Christmas presents for the parents at some fancy ivy league school.
Your photo is amazing. This one took him about 60-70 hours....I bet yours would have taken in upwards of 100+ hours.
Yes.. for sure...I'll show you and Wendell around Mt. Hood... The Timberline Lodge is definitely worth a visit. They filmed parts of the movie "The Shining" there ... I don't think one can take a bad photo of the Mountain.... there's a nice drive called the Fruit Loop that goes around it...
The Sandy River is next to my house (was named the Quicksand river by Lewis and Clark) But that one in the photo is Boulder Creek ... I walk the dogs over to it most days.
My local is a very cozy little place full of great people. I keep a photo of it on Wikipedia.

Would love to see that in the original ... I'm not familiar with the process
I've never done it before but I did watch as he made this one. You take a zinc plate covered with asphaltem (sp). You etch with a fine scribe the dark lines first. When done you then soak in an acid bath. The acid eats away the zinc in only the etched areas. Then repeat the process until the last, lightest line is finished. He used 8 different mixtures of ink (black silver etc.). When complete you then take a squeegee(sp) and apply the ink to the finished zinc plate and run thru a press. The press forces the paper down in the grooves of the plate which then picks up the ink.
It was very interesting watching him do this....whuda thunk 25 years later we would have all the newest tech stuff and cut the process in fractions of time.
This is one of 6 originals I have....three are from Ansel Adams collection.
Very nice, Daryl! New wallpaper!

Very cool pictures. I had Michael McInnis give us a Trimble Business Center training in the Grant Creek Inn last week.
Looks like you were at Pompey's Pillar with Mike Birtles; I know he is enjoying retirement over there.
You have way too much fun with your photo's; and you are great at it!
Thanks for sharing.

Daryl, that looked like a survey truck in the photos. I swear I saw a target symbol on the door.

I zoomed in on that and it said Salt Lake City but I think it is for a snow boarding team
As always ... great compositions,
thanks for sharing,

It's tough, cutting brush, when it's so pretty 😉
