This was just a random weed growing with this beautiful flower. I took TONS of shots... but this happens to be one of my favorites. I love the soft lighting and dark blacks that surround it.

Raven Rock State Park
Raven Rock State Park, a set on Flickr.
Went on a very nice hike yesterday with some other wonderful photographers... this is the result of that!
Also have 2 more photo shoots I'm working through, so hope to those posted soon, as well.

Arc de Triomphe Staircase
I love this image... it may be a staircase, but it reminds me of a shell. This is my current wallpaper on my iPad, so I get to look at it often. :)

The Gardens at Versailles
This is just one of the many photos I took in the gardens at Versailles, which was filled with gorgeous sculpture and flowers. Looking at these again makes me want to go back to Paris. Contrary to what many think (they don't like Americans), the Parisians were wonderful. However, if you walk into a shop there, and act like an egotistical-own-the-world-American, then yeah, you won't be welcomed openly... and I can't say I'd blame them at all!

Notre Dame, Paris
This is the rear of Notre Dame in Paris. Absolutely stunning church, inside and out!
Dave Matthews Band, Nationals Park, 07/23/2010
One of my favorite pictures from that night... taken with my point & shoot Nikon L100.
Almost forgot!!
Tonight is the night of a serious full moon! The moon will be closer to the earth than it has been in almost 20 years - it's called a super full moon.
Read about it here: http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2011/16mar_supermoon/
Now, how to photograph it... general rule of thumb is to shoot as f/11 for good depth-of-field. Then, your shutter speed is the equivalent to your film speed. Meaning, if you're shooting at ISO 400, then you want to START with a shutter speed of 1/400th of a second. You can always adjust from there to get the proper exposure, but that's where you want to start.
The moon will start out low on the horizon, when it's not as bright, so I usually start with f/8 and a shutter speed of about 1/250th, then adjust from there. No tripod needed, unless the focal length of your lens is longer than your shutter speed.
So get out there tonight and get snapping! It's going to be BEE-YOO-TEE-FULL!!
