Benign Bridge

As the sun was setting, I wanted to capture an image with a bridge. Low light, and cold did not help, but here is the result

Mind the Gap

Another one of my favorite spots to take photos. A nice September late afternoon, the sun hit just oh so nicely between this foliage.

A Touch of Green

This one was a pleasant surprise in the editor

Ceramic Sky

A handmade ceramic sky, over our heads

Moon Shadows

I found a spot in the backyard where street lights were blocked by the house and tried to capture the shadows of the Ash tree on the leaf covered lawn caused by only the moonlight of the near full moon. I used the 30sec shutter control setting.

Sunshadow

This is a comparison control photo I took with automatic settings in the noonday sunlight, of the tree shadows, to compare to photos taken of the same tree shadows in the moonlight of the full moon. Yet I found the images of the shadows very interesting in themselves.
