I setup my camera and big lens, hoping to get a few photos of the Lunar Eclipse. Canon 50D and 400mm IS lens, Monfroto ball head and Bogen CF tripod. Unfortunately high clouds obscured the event, causing a fuzzing of the Moon during the limit time it was actually visible. Photo 1 Photo [...] Tonight, the Northern Lights were visible at latitudes low enough, to be seen in the Puget Sound. Armed with my trusty Bogen carbon fiber tripod, my 17mm F/2.8 lens and a heart full of hope, I headed out to part of the county with a Northern facing beach. A few others were there to try [...] A few nights back, I had the opportunity to try my hand again, at some night photography of the helicopters. This time the subject is an EC-135 EuroCopter Air Ambulance. Photography at Harrison’s Hospital during lift-off. AirLift Northwest EC-135 AirLift Northwest EC-135 AirLift Northwest EC-135 AirLift Northwest EC-135 AirLift [...] After my series of Easter Egg Photos, earlier this week, I decided to clear out my ‘collection’ of wine bottles. I keep them, to remind me which wines I liked. Some are quality, some are just a good value (consumable on the cheap). Combining my desire to clear out a corner of my kitchen, and [...] Happy Easter! It is that time again. When we (well, some people) celebrate the Rising of the Christ. And along with that, goes what I guess is the pagan tradition of the Easter Egg. No matter. It’s a time for the family to goof around and explore some artistic expression. These are the results. Each [...] One of the things I did today, was sign up for ‘foursquare‘, an app that lets you ‘check-in’ to places, and those with participating incentives will send coupons to your phone. It’s and interesting experiment. I’ll see how that works out today. M.V. Kitsap mid-sound, enroute Bremerton Passengers on stern pickle-forks of ferry [...] Lego… much to my amusement has a new series of LEGO’s called ‘Atlantis’. One of the kits (a relatively inexpensive one luckily.. at under $12.00) named “Wreck Raider” has this cool little character in it! I’m not sure what the official name is, but to me it reminds me of the ‘Land Shark‘ of SNL [...] I took the 50D out for a little photography at lunch today. Geared up with my 70-200 f/2.8L glass (arguably one of the best Canon ever made), and a Hoya 77mm polarizer, I took a drive across the two bridges, picking up a sandwich along the way. Olympic mountains can be seen all around town. [...] The last couple of days have been pretty nice. I had my older 20D camera body loaded with the 100-400L Zoom and next to my desk. More than a few times a week, the AirLift Northwest helicopters bring people into the trauma center at Harrisons. So, I decided to snap a few pics. They [...] |
