About this blog title

I cannot tell you how many times I have shown up at events with a couple of cameras around my neck, a gadget bag full of odds & ends and a lighting kit and have been asked that question. If it happened once every few years, that would be one thing. But it happens a LOT. It's like getting pulled over by the police and he's standing there with uniform, gun, flashing lights and asking him "Are you a cop?" I would love to come back with a witty reply, such as "No, I am Jesus. Don't you recognize my beard?" However, I cannot be that rude.

Night Photography With Nikon D7000

I got home at midnight last night and the yard was lit up by a bright Moon. I immediately thought I should take a minute or two and try a night photo with the Nikon D7000.l I mounted the camera on a tripod. Lens was 17-55mm f2.8 Nikon, exposure was 20 seconds at f2.8, iso 400. I have done very little night photography and very little with digital cameras. I was impressed with the result. The light was mostly from the Moon, however, there are some street lights in the neighborhood and I think they account for the reddish color in the trees.



After shooting the back yard I did an about face and snapped this shot of my driveway. Same exposure and camera.


It has been a busy Summer so far and I have had little time or energy for this blog or keeping up with FaceBook. It's too bad because I have had numerous interesting things that I could have blogged about. When time permits I will try to write about them.
