Day 224: After the Moonrise…

Monday, August 15, 2011

After the Moonrise the lightening storm to the South headed North…some of these aren’t in the best focus, mainly because I was hand holding the camera a four to eight seconds exposure.  I declined to get out of the nice, safe Honda Faraday cage in the middle of the storm to set up my tripod.  […]

(1/180, f8, 560mm, ISO 800) It looks pretty good full sized so click on it.  Really an Ompha Lumpha moon… […]

Tuesday, August 9, 2011

After the geyser erupted, we joined the masses and headed off to eat.  The visitor center is nice, and someday I will see if the glass reflects Old Faithful. I decided we needed a family portrait to commemorate our visit to Old Faithful.  That is us, right there.  See?  Just over the hat. See?  Right […]

Along the banks of the Mighty Missouri River… “Nope, nope, nope!  I’m still taller than you!”                            “#@%!” A Double Crested Cormorant, and an immature first year California Gull. (1/2000, f8, 400mm, ISO 320, -1/2 stop) “There goes Erving again, thinking he’s taller […]
