Picture of the Day

Smoke filtered sun shots are pretty sweet. You can really pick up some interesting details on the sun (sunspots, etc) with a 200mm+ lens.

Looks like you're having some excellent summer adventures.

Thanks. It's been a great summer. The 5-year-old in the pictures is having an epic summer.

Thanks! It's Lake Powell on the Utah/Arizona border. Think of the Grand Canyon with 300 feet of water in it, and you're getting close to what it's like there.

So I tried painting the foreground with a headlamp on this camping trip. It probably wasn't late enough at night to get the bulk of the milky way in the shot:

I think that's a cool effect.

Solar Storms have been firing the last few days. Last night, it cleared out here just enough to catch a bit of the show. However, the sky clearing came after the moon had already risen, washing out a lot of the aurora.
