Here's the moon this morning, used a tripod this time.

Side by side with the one from yesterday without the tripod.

Kraig those moon protos are WAY cool

 

[kmcconaughey]

Jeff, thanks.

I can't wait for the next full moon so I can try to get some good photos of it. Hopefully at night not morning so that the surrounding sky is darker.

Why am I thinking of Swiss Cheese right now?
Is that too old fashioned?

Kraig, how well does that camera do with macro pictures?

 

[jchamberlin]

Jessy --I have to ask, what is "ripley beach" and what does it have to do with sunrise (or moon set) photos?

 

[kmcconaughey]

Lucas, does quite nicely. Here's a couple of photos taken with the lens about one inch away from the subject.

Log growth rings.

Lichen covered rock.

Well I count at least 20 years on that log, and that lichen looks like something under a microscope.....nice picture

Very impressive Kraig.That is as nice as it gets.

 

[ljones]

[kmcconaughey]

No sunrise photos today, it's overcast and drizzling.

Incase nobody picked up on it, Brian is one of our moderators and gets more picture space.
His great photo is about 2 screens wide! Pan to the right to see all of this nice sunrise.

Allen -

It's only a 1MB file. I forgot about the 1900+ pixel width!

Not bad for a BlackBerry...

 

[kmcconaughey]

Bryan, WOW!

Nice photo though.

All, to see Bryan's photo in it's entirety, right click on it and select "View Image"

Allen, Kraig, thanks for the tip.

Bryan, was the picture taken in Grant Park?

The scene looks very familiar to me, but I can't quite place it.

Jeremiah -

You betcha. SW corner of Congress and Michigan. There should be geotagging info in the image.

Kraig -

It's a bit grainy, just what one would expect from a cell phone, but it prints up nicely!

Bryan --Doggone, you're right! I've never "inspected an element" before! No wonder it looked familiar, believe it or not, I used to live at 3444 West Congress Parkway, but that was some time ago . . ..

Thanks for teaching an old dog new tricks!
