From The Old Richardsville Rd Bridge





Google Maps view of shooting location

This bridge is surprisingly busy. These are relatively short exposures, but I shot a few 5 minute exposures and that was difficult to do without a vehicle shaking the bridge.

Lost River Frogs

What can I say, frogs are easy.

The one that almost got me.

Well, it didn't almost get me, but it did sneak up behind me.


This shot had a little work done to lighten up the tunnel. There is quite noticeable noise - it was getting fairly dark (the jeep has its lights on), and I did not bother with the tripod.

As an afterthought, here is one without the deadly jeep, and in color.

One More Big Moon.

I went back again tonight, as the moon was to rise after dark. I had a few decent shots, but the medical helicopter came through as I was exposing this shot - it is slightly interesting. Note that you can see red reflections in the water.

The sky was redder tonight than last night, I also white balanced on the yellow side (compared to last night). It was rather blue last night as it wasn't quite dark when the moon rose.

Big Moon of 2012

The moon was at its nearest point to the earth for this year, although I did not notice that the full moon was larger than normal.

This first one is heavily cropped, I just don't have the glass to get there, and don't think I would use it enough to justify that kind of cash. So, for now, we crop.
