Pilot Rock from Soda Mountain
Today’s photo shows a different side of Pilot Rock. The view of Pilot Rock from Ashland or I-5 heading north from California are the more common vantage points. Today’s photo is from the east. We hiked a few miles from the Hobart Peak trail head on Soda Mountain Road to the Soda Mountain lookout last month. There is also a 9-mile trail on the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) from near this location to Pilot Rock.

…to catch the SOU men’s basketball team in Ashland is tonight. After tonight they will hit the road until December 19. That’s a long time so you should probably be there tonight. Game time is 7:30. Come early as the women will be playing at 5:30, also against Simpson. Both Southern Oregon University teams are 2-0 on the young season.
I almost forgot to post a photo of what my neighbor’s pink flamingos have been up to this month. I’m guessing they will soon be turkeys.

I have mentioned several times before that there are situations where images shot as jpgs are “throw aways” that had they been shot in RAW format could be salvaged.
Today’s comparison is one such example. With a rainbow outside a dimly-lit gym, I had the choice of shooting the rainbow and getting a nearly black gym (above) or shooting the action on the court and getting a white sky (not shown). By shooting in RAW I was able to process the above image to come up with what you see below.

By the way, Ashland won last night, advanced to the Sweet 16 in state, and will be playing in St. Helens on Saturday. The winner moves on to the Elite 8 round.
Ashland High School volleyball against South Medford
Game time is 6:30. If Ashland wins they will hit the road on Saturday for a game against a top eight team to see who gets to go on to the State Championship in Hillsboro the following weekend.
Triangle Park is located between Siskiyou Boulevard, Iowa Street, and Morton Street
When I previously used a D7000 and Tokina 11-16mm lens I enjoyed experimenting with sun stars. I haven’t found a lens that did them very good on full frame, though, until I tried yesterday with my Nikkor 20mm f/1.8g. Bingo!
Ashland High School volleyball – Olivia Rooney and Myla Norvell
The Grizzlies headed up I-5 to Central Point to take on the first place Crater Comets last night. The place was packed, hot, and loud. Ashland won the first set, but ultimately didn’t come out victorious. Crater had won all 18 of their previous home sets this year so Ashland did do something unprecedented even if they didn’t end up with a W.
Ashland did not fall in the rankings. Assuming they remain at #7 after Friday’s match and Saturday’s tournament, they will have a home play-in game on Tuesday, October 28 against South Albany, currently ranked #25. Assuming Ashland wins that one, they will then have a home game against #10 Marist on November 1. If the rankings change, they could end up playing #9 Crescent Valley or #11 Pendleton.

This great band from Salt Lake City, Utah sound a bit like what would happen if Neurosis and Giant Squid (two of my favorite bands) had a baby. Hopefully it won’t be their last trip through Ashland.
