Something different

Decided to put up some different shots just for fun. On this one I was originally just getting my daughter asleep in the cold, riding on a boat; but when I reviewed it I like the reflection captured in her sunglasses.

Kind of hurt my eyes taking this shot but I liked it.

A zoomed shot in the wake.

And one more really close of the water droplets.

Perigee Moon

Saturday night, January 10th, 2009 the Moon was close to perigee, so this is the biggest and brightest full Moon of 2009 (according to Sky and Telescope @ http://www.skyandtelescope.com/observing/ataglance) Here are a few shots that I liked:
And yes it was rather chilly. The new tripod and wireless remote I received for Christmas came in quite handy!

Werewolves anyone ???

There was a color ring of redish orange around the moon that this captured pretty well.

December 28th 2008 Moon

Just some shots of the crescent moon and Venus. Overexposed this one to see the entire moon.

A little more "true" representation of the moon.

As close as I can get with the Nikon.

And one more for good measure! :)
