Taken over the course of an hour, this is a view of the fields of northwest Ellis County, Kansas in late autumn. I caught an individual shot with an eight point buck just before I set this one up. Don't know if he's hiding in here, but there's certainly lots to find.
This is my first large landscape shot with the Canon SX10 IS at the full 20x zoom. There's a small hole where the camera missed a photo - otherwise I'm very pleased. |

Roadcut in shales south of Wilson Lake, Kansas. Can you identify it's proper place in the stratigraphy (http://www.kgs.ku.edu/Publications/Bulletins/189/09_meso.html#CRET) of the region? |

As the Laurentide glacier retreated from the Champlain Valley 13,600 years ago, the ice damned the valley and Glacial Lake Vermont rose to about 170 m (550 feet) above sea level, which is the elevation of the camera. This sand and gravel was carried by an ice-marginal river that built kame terraces until it reached the lake where it dumped fine sediments into the standing water forming a delta more than 4 km long.
This quarry is the source of material that is spread on snow-covered roads in Salisbury. It is being sorted and stockpiled this month. Notes: I used a Nikon D40 with Nikkor 300mm f/4.5 AI-s lens, f/8, 1/160 second, ISO 200, NEF. 35mm equiv is 450mm. Field of view set to 3 degrees. |

An Easter Egg hunt on my front porch. There are three dozen eggs 'hidden', as well as two Easter bunnies, two Mainzelmännchen, one Eeyore, one Rubber Duckie, and if you look really closely you'll find the reflection of the photographer pointing to one of the hidden eggs.
Happy Easter and Happy Hunting!!! [Permission for media use is hereby granted.] |

For my hundredth Gigapan I decided to reshoot one of my earliest panoramas (http://www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=1877). Once again I broke out the tele-converter lens for my Canon S5-IS, but this time I allowed enough overlap between adjacent photos in order to get rid of the vignetting in the original. This one is also my first stitch with the new Gigapan Stitcher 0.3.1820 - worked smoothly for me. | |||

Rock City is a local park near Minneapolis, Kansas where dozens of meter-scale concretions of Dakota Sandstone have remained resistant to weathering. Berti and Edi (the rock gnomes) had a field day! See if you can find and snapshot them in all of their hiding places. |

Normal fault in the Fort Hays member of the Cretaceous Niobrara Formation, south of Stockton, Kansas. These chalk beds were originally deposited in the shallow Western Interior Seaway about 80 million years ago. The thick beds of the Fort Hays member are extensively bioturbated. Faulting is post-Cretaceous and pre-Quaternary. |
