    Awesome Dogs of PNW

    Apologies for the thread drift... I shoot with a couple digital Leica's these days. Back in the day, a 35mm M6 rangefinder was my camera of choice (along with some MF/LF gear) but I'm all digital at this point. However, I still love the look from classic Leica rangefinder lenses. Using them on...

    Similar here. Parents had GSD's when I was growing up including a bunch of Schutzhund dogs. Great name (!) as in Hattori Hanzo? Herding dogs are the best. Yuki is 10 and given I just turned 61, I don't think I'll be physically up to another Belgian Shepherd puppy when she passes so I just do...

    Very close! Belgian Tervuren which is basically a long-coated Malinois (Belgian Shepherds). In the US, it's considered a seperate breed. In Europe, they're treated as a single breed (Malinois, Tervuren, Groenendale) and are sorted out as puppies based on coat type. Her sire was a half-Mal Czech...

    One more. Messing around with a Leica lens from 1952 that has radioactive glass (seriously). She obviously finds the whole 'photo model' thing tiresome... VintageYuki

    First thing I do with a new camera is start taking photos of Yuki as I figure out the controls. YUKI-02.07.26

    I stop and snap a photo or two from this spot over and over as I like the vista and it's on my way as I drive to/from our place in Beaver. I've posted several in this thread, like here and here. Last week, I had my old Mamiya 6 medium format film camera with me for a longer-term project I've...

    NFR College Football 2025

    For sure. Indiana kicked the shit out of us and even so, I think the discussion board loudmouths are not the majority. Long time, multi-generational, Bama fans like myself are not yelling "fire Deboer". At least not in my family and friends circle. We have been through the post-Bear debacles...

    Holidays in Tucson this year with all the (grown) kids. Mid/high 80's today. Crazy! Dusk in Honey Bee Canyon

    Very glad Kalen and Ryan will be sticking around… Appreciate the Tide’s grit and ability to bounce back from their many eff ups. That was missing last year. Roll Tide!

    I just noticed a bunch of bulbs peeking through at our place too and had a similar reaction.

    Non-Fly Recommendations on spin gear upgrades

    For your bobber rod, think hard about the water you'll fish. If you're fishing in some current and don't need to make really long casts to not spook fish, I find bait casters to work much better. If you're fishing spooky fish in big slow tanks and making long casts, a spinning rod can work...

    2025/2026 OP SteelHead Rules

    Agreed but corrected one word for you. As Salmo also noted, I've caught a double digits of kelts and well colored bucks the first week of January in the upper reaches of the Quilleute system. And... have caught super bright, seas-lice covered steelhead in June fas bycatch while fishing for...

    PNW Flood Watch - Dec 8-12, 2025

    A little spicy on the Sol DUc but seems like the north coast didn't get hit as hard this time. Calawah already crested at 13.9K and it looks like the Sol Duc will crest soon at less than 28'. I've been watching the camera on the back deck and talking to my neighbor to make sure I didn't need to...
