Making up for lost time

Here are two pics I took of the moon last Thursday night (4/9?). The night was very clear and crisp. These were taken from the parking lot at my bookstore.

Ugh...well, so much for one a week. Last Wednesday my friend Rachel and I took a photo field trip to Calvert Cliffs Park. Here are a couple highlights. My favorite is the one in which the tree appears to be upside down. It's actually the tree reflecting in the water. So you can see the debris underwater giving the tree shape some color, and then the very overcast sky is being reflected as well.

More Fun than Work

Wow, I've had a flurry (ha!) of camera activity the past few days. I took the telephoto out today around my office (after work...). Here are some highlights from my walking trip.

Snow Day

So, it snowed in Southern Maryland today. I think the final number was something like 10 inches which is the most I've seen in a while. The wind was whipping around pretty good, thus it was not a very serene scene, but it was still fun to watch come down this morning and even last night. I took a walk around noon and took the macro camera with me. Here's a few highlights from my little nature walk. I might take the telephoto out tomorrow around Calvert county after work. That should be interesting.

P.S. The worst part about this snowstorm, of course, is that it will be a cue for morons to page Al Gore to get him to straighten out this whole Global Warming mess. I have given up trying to even talk to these people, but I won't lie and say it isn't frustrating to hear stupid comments such as those equating one snowstorm (and really any cold weather) with obvious proof that climate change is a total hoax. Anyway...on with the pics.

My second blog of the day

This is just for fun. I took this pic a few weeks ago. It's the entire run of Promethea comics (I highly recommend). And to quote Obi Wan..."They're not for sale, if you want them." :)

Funky eye pics

This is sort of an homage to Jeunet and the opening to the theatrical version of Alien Resurrection (yes, the lousy Alien film—which I thought had some cool ideas working for it, but in the end, a lot of things failed...I blame Joss Whedon, which I realize is sacrilege, and perhaps unfair, but hey, I'm just not enamored with his work). Anyway, I took these with the macro lens and I thought they came out pretty well, if not suitably funky/creepy. Enjoy.

Long time, no post

Okay...since I have no followers it's probably not a big deal, but it's been cold as anything lately, so no new pics. BUT, my new macro lens came and I'm looking forward to using it. In the meantime, I have this weird fascination with lamp posts, here's a few that I've captured in the past year. I'll probably post more as I take them.

3/2-update
I threw in another one of a lamp post from my neighborhood. I took it with the macro lens after a severe snow storm.
