Happy Independence Day!

A trio of special wallpapers in honor of the 4th! The first two are from the same basic photo, but cut differently. (1/8, f5.6, 135mm, ISO 800, -1 stop) Just a slightly different cut to the photo. I figure a good sun-or-moonset is kind of natural fireworks.  Here goes the last bit! (7/10, f5.6, 400mm, […]

Day 81: The Super Moon (or something like that…)

Sunrise… (1/250, f11, 112mm, ISO 250, +1.5 stops) …and Daylight. (1/45, f11, 135mm, […]

Day 355: The Winter Solstice

A rare and always amazing occurrence last night:  a full lunar eclipse >>on<< the winter solstice.  the last one was 435 years ago according to the last I read on it…and no one has bothered to determine when the next one is yet! It starts. (1/3000, f8, 260mm, ISO 800, 11:35 MST) About half way. […]
