Shoot 2021-09-28-085709

On this short outing to the ponds I saw and photographed a new lifer, the Wilson's Snipe. I'm happy with the other photos I got as well. This is as near as I've ever been to a Great Egret with a camera, and I got some shots of one catching a fish. I got my best shots yet of Mallards and a Wood Duck, though the water itself isn't as picturesque as I'd like, and I'd like to be closer to eye-level with the birds.

The above hashes-<date>.txt file contains SHA-256 hashes of all the photos from this shoot. The hashes-<date>.txt.sig is a signature of that hashes file, created with my PGP key. The signature file itself was written to both the Bitcoin Cash and Algorand blockchains, in the OP RETURN and Note fields respectively, using the transactions below. In short, this proves that these photos and the signature both existed at the time the transactions were written to the Bitcoin Cash and Algorand blockchains. This blog post has more details.
