Mission San Xavier del Bac

There were people coming and going everywhere, so for the first time I tried the ND filter-Long exposure trick. I like how it worked.

Went out to get some lightning shots. Not much success, but did have some fun.

I had hoped to get a lightning shot with this old house in the picture. No luck. Ha!

This almost looks fake, but it was the real deal.

And one more with just a little character.

Will it work on my neighbors? :) How many stops did you need seems like a pretty bright day.

Not sure about the neighbors. I have found a .357 magnum works good for that. ;) The ND filter I used was an ICE ND1000 or 10 stop. It was a bright day at just after noon.

Every time I go by this old house I expect it to have fallen down. It just keeps dying a slow death.

Coming back from physical therapy for my back, I stopped by Cochise Lake (reclaimed water lake) and found this Great Blue Heron.
(Thanks Marilynne)

Looks like a Great Blue Heron to me Walt.
You're probably right Marilynne. I knew it didn't appear to be like other Sandhill cranes that hang out around here for the winter, but didn't know what other birds of this type were about. I kept looking for the red patch on the head, etc.
Thanks for straightening me out. Ha!

I had planned on getting some lightening shots, but nothing cooperated. When I got back home, I noticed the sky was looking pretty good to include the milky way, so............
I tried something I have never done before. Take a shot or two of the MW. Any suggestions on techniques or PP are appreciated.
