High Cirrus

Using a borrowed Sony H1 digicam, I took advantage of
weather conditions that were suggested in a recent
magazine article: High, fast-moving cirrus clouds
and a fullish moon, with the bonus of zero groundlevel
wind which helped keep my neighbor's tree sharp.
Now I feel like I'm ready in case I happen upon an interesting
subject with a similar background.

Working with an unfamiliar camera was a difficult experience
for me, so I'm glad I managed to get a few keepers.
This post marks the very first time a photo has appeared here
on Views of Texas that wasn't taken with my beloved Sony F717.
But this shot wasn't anything I couldn't have captured with my
usual rig.
The next one, on the other hand...
