Photo of the day 12/27/2011 – “Untitled”

“Untitled”

My first star-trail photo.

I wish I had framed this better, but I really didn’t expect this to turn out at all.  It was merely a test shot as I had not ever taken a long exposure like this.  I had no idea what I needed for exposure, ISO, or anything, especially considering the trees would catch some light from the porch light.  3007 seconds, ISO 1000, f8

Photo of the day 5/28/11 – “Let The Journey Begin”

“Let The Journey Begin”

On this day last year, Kelli and I set out on what may just have been the vacation of a lifetime.

I haven’t done much with the 4000+ photos I took since I didn’t have any real software to do much with them.  (I still don’t have the skill, but am working on that.)  So for the next 16 days, I’m going to force myself to work through some of those photos, and share some of the travel tricks that we used to be able to afford such a trip.

“Untitled”

Every now and then I get to work in the Minneapolis office. For years I flew there, but this time it was cheaper to drive. Of course, I had to bring the camera.

I love cities, and having the car allowed me to discover some cool parts of this one that I didn’t before know existed. Here’s a view from one of those.

Photo of the day 4/24/11 – “Foreign Landscape”

“Foreign Landscape”

Even after having been to seven other National Parks in the past three years, Joshua Tree National Park took me be surprise. Perhaps much of the reason so was because nearly every part of it was foreign to me. No evergreens, leafy trees, or anything remotely recognizable from where I live or the other National Parks I’ve been too.

About the photo:
While I botched up the shot, I still included here as it still gives a sense of the place, and it reminds me of my experience. This photo was taken at the end of what is probably a pretty untypical day in April; it was in 50’s with on and off light sprinkles to a steady rain. It should have been in the 80-90’s and probably clear. So to get this shot with the sun peeking through the dark clouds behind us it probably pretty lucky.
