Day 199, 2013 - Flower
Trying to improve upon yesterdays shot, choosing a plant that isn't reflective. Not sure what this flower is, and while it's not reflective like yesterdays Ivy, the center of the flower has a white area that looks blown out and blurry. However, that is what it looks like. Time to look for a flower that will cooperate better.

Day 200, 2013 - Starburst
I call this shot Starburst because it looks like a shot you might see from space. However, it is actually the moon with the right atmospheric conditions. I absolutely LOVE this shot and am proud of it. Truth be told though, I can't take a whole lot of credit. This shot was more of a mad scientist standing there in the dark playing with my camera. Even though I knew how to take a moon shot I sat there messing around with adding a little newts eye, take out the wing of bat, and so on just to see what would happen as I broke the know how rules.
Post processing was a matter of raising the contrast between light and dark, getting rid of the filth (color) of city lights (I was actually in the city park), and then sharpening to again increase the contrast between light and dark and not to much to sharpen the image.
Other than feeling the lag of staying up past midnight, and my bedtime, to take this picture, it was just fun to do and worth the bit of lag I feel today. And why is it that bedtime for adults is always earlier than it is for our older children?

That's the way I like wasps. Very, very dead. Nice shot!!
Continued... Day 203 - Sunset
Forgot to put this one up last night. Went out to shoot the full moon rising over the mountains when it all went bad as clouds and haze suddenly moved in. However, in exactly the opposite direction the sun was setting and those clouds and fire haze made for a spectacular sunset that quickly accumulated spectators shooting the sunset on their cell phones.
