A Variety of Random, Artistic, and Creative Works:
Occasionally, I go through periods in which I am suddenly interested in a particular subject that strikes my fancy. It's usually a short-lived fascination, but one often inspired by seeing pictures taken by others on various photographic forums. Obviously, you'll see that one evening I was enthralled with the various shapes that smoke forms as it rises from a candle; during another period it was eyes, and another having to do with snow/ice. You never know! Usually it happens after I've been so busy with family and work that there has been no time for photography, and I feel the need to shoot something........ANYthing. LOL
The "Blue Moon" on January 1st, 2010:
This shot was really an accident, but obviously one with a pleasing result. I had never attempted moon shots before, and with my new Canon 7D and tripod, I decided to try. Clear and cold, it was a perfect night for it. Not knowing what settings to use, I decided to experiment, and this was one of the first 5 shots. Rather surprised, I tried a range of other settings, all with similar results. Since I'd reached the point I just wanted to go inside and warm up, I will have to wait on a "regular" full-moon shot for another month.
