Ohio River

Purple Iris

Well, the sunset was interesting and I was driving right by. This is my 'lazy' spot. Good shots without much work or thought.

Passing by the Park.

Had work in Horse Cave. Stopped by the park on the way home.

It was a on-again, off-agin, rainy day - my favorite time to shoot.

To hell with work! (Actually I had nothing scheduled for the afternoon, but to hell with work anyway!)

A slow shutter speed and tripod allowed the higher exposure on the geese, I white balanced on the white feathers.

Oh, and by the way, the two geese have a nest on the pond. They obviously aren't there now.

One for the Road

And one not.

It was looking like an interesting sunrise was on its way. And well, from my house, I just don't have a good scene to shoot. So I drove down the road a bit. Not necessarily looking to stop here, just looking for an interesting scene. This was my best effort.

Now with twice the duck!

A Rainy Sunday

2 Second Exposure

From the 'Mildly Interesting' category.

I realize that this is stretching the 'Mildly Interesting' category a bit.

A Nice Morning.

This is Moose.

Moose likes water!

From the Big Four Bridge, Louisville.

Needed to go to Louisville. Made sure to hang around as the sun went down, and go to the newly opened (to pedestrian traffic) big four bridge.

A plane was flying over on the second shot.

I do so love to take moving water shots.

I do so love to take moving water shots. And if a big bird (an EXTREMELY easy to shoot bird) (or birds) gets in the way, well that's all the better.

Just a random scene along a random road on a random saturday.

Stars, Actually mostly no stars.

15 Minute Exposure

Clouds moving in and out made gaps in the few visible star trails, also a plane flew through the corner of the shot (above).

10 Minute Exposure

30 Second Exposure

Well, I haven't been out at night for a while, thought I might try to get a few star trails. It wasn't a good night for it, and I wasn't too sucesful. Too cloudy, and too light (the clouds over Bowling Green were lighting up the sky). Oh well, maybe next time. I took a lot of liberty during processing. The 15 and 10 minute exposures just came out a dull muddy brown (which is normal for long night exposures) - I made them look blue.

Finally, a little snow.

It's about damn time we got a little snow.

I know, I know

I know, I know. I keep posting the same old subjects. Then, I decided to throw in a truck.

The cows are white balanced a little more orange than they need to be, but it is my shot, my white balance.

Rainy!

You can't really tell it, but it was raining pretty hard here. It was a real pain to try to keep everything dry.
Between plastic garbage bags, an umbrella, and a backpack that did a pretty good job of keeping the water out - everything survived. I wouldn't have started that hike with so much gear if I had known what was coming.







There is water on the lens, particularly noticeable on the top limb. I did not try to fix in lightroom. Just part of the day.

Another Repeat!

Had some time to kill, so...
I had never tried a 360 degree pano. It is interesting.
