I often wonder why I bother lugging the big camera around when iPhones are so damn good these days. Then I get a shot like this. #puffins #Iceland #birdphotography

#Introduction time! I spend my time #trailrunning and #skiing in #Colorado. My day job is inventing new #remotesensing technologies to let us see new and interesting things with satellite images. I used to be a professional #Astronomy researcher and #teacher before I got tired of the whole #academic thing. Sometimes I ride bikes or take pictures of #birds and stuff. Occasionally I brew halfway decent #beer.
So anyway, that's me.

In response to this post@ai6yr Those things came became popular in 2015. I first noticed them at mile 50 of a race at 1am in the middle of Wyoming when I was already loopy. People had hung them on their cars near the aid station and it looked like a whole forest of jellyfish greeting me in the night. What a weird experience.
@c_dan4th Ha! That's funny! Jellyfish camping....

@c_dan4th @ai6yr They work well; even after the plastic cracks along the corners and the lantern can no longer be inflated.
It just looks less like a jellyfish.

#Iceland day 3. 🇮🇸. Lots of driving and lots of rain. Black sand and columnar basalt beaches, more waterfalls, anxiety over running out of gas, up close and personal with bazillions of puffins, and the northernmost southernmost point in the world.
I tend to be the least squee person in any given room but OMG!!! PUFFINS!!! They are utterly charming.
