Took off today to do some shooting after doing some work around here. Went to the Cemetery to place flowers and saw some interesting things on the way out and needed a little lift, so I shot a few images. Then headed up Rt. 2 to see if I could find some more things and found this shot.

Saw the moon and had to shoot a few shots. These were shot with a Canon 50D with a Canon 2X extender and 100-400 Canon IS lens. Settings were 1/200th @ F/11 and 8

Was practicing some shooting and took the following panning shots. Nothing special, but I am waiting to do some 2nd curtain flash photography.

I had a few images to play with and my photo club buddy, Mark has an interest in signs, so I just happened to have an old image I thought he might like. I shot this in Idaho and just now am getting around to working on it and deciding what I might like to do with it. Here is one thought I had.

Decided to go to the mountains to shoot some shots and had an idea to try painting with light. I found out it is a lot harder than I thought it would be, especially by yourself. But, it was fun and I learned a lot. Check out the results at http://picasaweb.google.com/Kestrel139/RoadTrip# to see some of the shots from today.
