I had no idea about the legality of burning, but it's something I see fairly often in my explorations. I also didn't know what a wig wam burner was, although those too, I've seen. I even photographed the inside of one in Seneca a long time ago:

That's one of the great bonuses of photography-you're learning new things all the time!

Interesting stuff about Oregon and the "Give A Hoot, Don't Pollute" thing.
I remember as a kid riding in the family car through Western Oregon, before I-5 was built. The smoke always hung in the air from the wood scraps burning at the mills, especially from Eugene to the California border.
Bought a craigslist Bolex for this Kern Switar wide angle last night. When I found it doesn't focus at infinity, I was about to put it on the sell list. Then I started shooting macros this morning! A few more here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/garrett...7638479636554/

Nice images. With "Bolex" you mean a (lens from a) Bolex movie camera?
How does this combo work?
Goamules: Striking image (beautiful colors and background swirl, looks like a petzval lens!). It looks like there is some vignetting. Can you post just a little about how you mounted a cine lens (IIRC Bolex is a movie camera, not sure of film size) on a still camera, etc.?
Thanks, the Bolex H16 Reflex was a 16mm Swiss movie camera, these high quality cameras used to cost a fortune, and have been used to make feature length movies. Anyway, the lenses are C-mount. Though you could probably make an adapter for a Pen-F half-frame camera, I don't know of any. So I shot this on digital, Micro 4/3s, with a common C-mount to M4/3 adapter. It will do a lot of swirl, it's almost a fisheye on this format. It vignettes, but the other lenses don't. They're all good.
The past year, a couple of very high quality, pocket digital movie cameras have been made (Black Magic and Digital Bolex). So these C-mounts are having yet another resurgence. Here is the front of the cam I bought last night...again, for the lenses.

From earlier today. Finally some interesting weather due to the cold here in the NW.
Thank you all for the interest, jp498 my company does a little bit of this kind of work as well so I'm also familiar with those antennas.
