Dashed Hopes


Over the last while, the weather has been so lovely that I've been spending every moment that I can out of doors and of course, that means LOTS of picture taking. And, with a digital camera, the images on that small screen all look amazing don't they?! But, if you're like me, when you download them on onto your computer you are invariably disappointed. Most are out of focus or these long summer evenings mean the sky is blown out. I know I should be traveling with a tripod like Benjamin Madison, but dammit I'm not that organized. Yet. Someday. So, here is my best "shot from the hip, at a run" photo of the almost full moon Thursday night. -Fern

  1. It looks beautiful to me, Fern. Even when i do use my tripod, just pressing down on the shutter button makes the darn thing shake. I do miss the cable shutter release capability, like on my ancient Pentax K1000.

  2. I really like it Fern, it's got a lot of atmosphere, can only imagine the things that would go on under that moody moon!!

  3. I was wondering, completely off topic, are the spray paint artists still making their amazing art down on the Causeway? They are brothers and I bought a beautiful orca whale painting from them and was hoping they had a website. Do you or Ben know their names so I could look them up? Thanks.

  5. Thanks for the info Ben! I sent them an email to ask how I can purchase more of their art.
