Day 220 - Supermooon preview

1st shot, I caught something flying in front of the moon. Wonder what it was?

A little cleaner shot with a touch of sharpening. ;)

Can't decide if I like the B&W above better, or the color below...

I dunno... I'm a HUGE fan of B&W!

Black & White makes the world less complicated, so it is never a bad idea.

Day 222 - Super COOOOOOL Moon! Time to howl!

I was waitin' for it this time. Super moon, low on the horizon, right at sunset... had a bit of hazy cloud cover, which allowed me to catch this kinda cool glow around it to make it a REAL Super Moon! (at least as real as it gets with a 70-300mm VR and heavily cropped)

AROOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Nice work!

I'm always impressed with the detail you eke out of your shots.

Thanks, bro! It comes from months lost in front of LR, PS and Perfect Effects "dabbling". Hour here, 3 hours there, "Holy heck, it's DAWN!?" here and there. LOL Still nowhere near where I want to be, but we can't ALL be Jake!

Day 223 - Early BDay gift! Ok, so it's about a month early, but the wife got my gift early so I wouldn't go insane on the trip down to see Dad in a couple of weeks.

I was overjoyed because now I won't have to squint to see illustrations in this book on my iPhone Kindle app, LOL!! (BTW, GREAT book! Phenomenal resource!!)

Not a great picture, but it's been a long couple of days.

Day 224 - Bored photographer...

...stuck in traffic. Turn up the ISO, let the shutter speed get CRAZY HIGH on this PRIMAL BEAST, and stop that train like it was sittin' still!

Another busy day, so this is what ya get.

I hear you there. I'm pretty happy with the direction my processing is going, just not quite there yet. I have LR, next thing on the list is the Nik software package.

We interrupt your normal "Snack-A-Day" to bring you this, one of my favorite pictures ever...

You see, this is my daughter on her first trip to Florida, and the first trip to the beach. Why share it? Because this tot turns 21 today. I'm in a state of shock... but she's a wonderful young lady, and despite missing this cute little lass, I'm quite proud of her.

We now return to our normal photography...

Day 225 - DINNER!

I wasn't much interested in shooting anything today... at least not after I smelled dinner cookin'! I walked into the kitchen to see my wife preparing chicken fried steak and fried potatoes for dinner, all in honor of my daughter's birthday. HEAVEN!

Thought the potatoes looked cool while they were starting to fry, so tried to catch the essence.
