Pics from the weekend shot with an R6MKII. Watching the clouds build was beautiful #landscapephotography #colorado #r6mkii #hikingcolorado #canonr6mkii #rockymountainscolorado

Thank you! I really like them too 😊

Some photos I took today #infraredphotography #hoyar72 #canon90d #fullspectrumconversion #irphotography #irphotoediting

Month 7/8 learning infrared. I had my 90D converted to full spectrum through Kolari and these were taken with a 680 and 720nm filter. I am loving this technique! #irphotography #infraredphotography #zomei720ir #zomei680ir #canon90d #fullspectrumconversion #colorado

Thanks! You can use a 720 or higher as long as you have a tripod and remote and get that high contrast with an unconverted as well.

For the third time, the Government Accountability Office has told Congress that the Trump administration unlawfully withheld funds. How many times does it need to happen before Congress actually does something?

The result—an increase of executive power at the expense of legislative authority-does not stand alone. Just last week, this Court granted another stay allowing the President to ignore a federal statute. That decision permitted the President to push forward in dismantling the Department of Education, even though Congress created that agency and tasked it with performing vital functions. See McMahon v. New York, 606 U.S. (2025) (SOTOMAYOR, J., dissenting) (slip op., at 1). If the majority had any valid basis for taking that action (relating, say, to the breadth of the District Court's preliminary injunction) it did not appear on the face of the Court's unreasoned or-der. See id., at _ (order) (slip op., at 1); id., at (SOTOMAYOR, J., dissenting) (slip op., at 18). That order simply signaled that the President could carry on, even in the face of a conflicting statute. So too does this order, and with the same lack of care. The majority has acted on the emergency docket—with "little time, scant briefing, and no argument" —to override Congress's decisions about how to structure administrative agencies so that they can perform their prescribed duties. Wilcox, 605 U.S., at _ (KAGAN, J., dissenting) (slip op., at 5). By means of such actions, this Court may facilitate the permanent transfer of authority, piece by piece by piece, from one branch of Government to another. Respectfully, I dissent.

By a 6-3 vote, SCOTUS lets Trump fire the Dem members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, who are protected against removal by statute.

Dissenting, Kagan says the majority is undertaking a “permanent transfer of authority” from Congress to the president.

Got a full spectrum conversion from kolari vision on my camera and took these with a 680nm filter. I love how they turned out. #infraredphotography #fullspectrumconverasion #landscapephotogeaphy #kolarivision #680ir #canon90d

You know what works better than thoughts and prayers? A functioning government.

IRS says churches can endorse candidates from the pulpit In a court filing, the IRS says churches of all denominations and sects are free to support candidates from the pulpit.

I haven't posted in a while and these are from the weekend before last. I'm in the process of getting a full spectrum conversion so more to come #landscapephotography #colorado #infraredphotography #longexposure #canon90d #zomei720 #zomeiir #tamron1024 #irphotography #continentaldivide #hoosierpass

How to Protest Safely: What to Bring, What to Do, and What to Avoid If you’re planning to hit the streets, here’s what you need to know.

Americans are taking to the streets and showing up in US cities by the thousands to protest a plethora of President Donald Trump’s second-term policies—from trans rights to travel bans from foreign nations and deportation policies.

This is a WIRED guide on how to best protest safely.

A beautiful Friday out in Twin Lakes, Co #landscapephotography #colorado #sanisabelnationalforest #blackandwhitephotography #infraredphotography #longexposure #canon90d #zomei720 #zomeiir #ir #tamron1024 #canon18135 #photography

2 months into learning infrared. Can't wait to see how this progresses throughout the year. These were taken by Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado. #infraredphotography #landscapephotography #IR #canon #canon90d #colorado #zomei720

A moody Saturday morning and it was the perfect opportunity to shoot some pics. #landscapephotography #IR #infraredphotography #canon90d #hoyar72 #blackandwhite #colorado #pikespeak #photography

Practicing my technique. No hotspots on these photos with a Canon 18-135 and Tamron 10-24. #IR #infraredphotography #canon90d #hoyar72 #landscapephotography #outside

So true. I'm going to try out my Tamron 10-24 this weekend and see what results I get and I just ordered some filters for my old 18-135. I've read they should be both be good lenses but we will see..

Thanks! Yeah the list says my lens should be good but it's not. I tried all different f stops. Can't really tell on the black and whites though. This weekend I'll try a different lens and see what the results are.

Our parks are in chaos. We’ve seen firsthand how Trump’s hiring freeze, the rescinding of hundreds of job offers, and the layoff of 5% of NPS staff have left us overwhelmed and short-handed.
