Falling Water

Am teaching Buz how to shoot at night with an F717, so I might as well take him where I take other 'night virgins'--HemisFair Park and it's many fountains and little falls.
The abundance of possible targets can easily overwhelm but that keeps it interesting for me, having shot here many times.

It was great getting out into the world and shooting for pleasure again after weeks of obligations and other tasks sidelined me.

More to come...

The Last Katydids

Haven't shot anything new in weeks--too busy getting ready for today.

But that all changes now--there are several photo outtings planned for the next few days.

These have been saved for when I ran out of new stuff.
Just a couple of different poses of three katydids.
It was a crittery night on the porch--a stinkbug, a cricket, the toad shown below, a gecko, and six katydids all at the same time.
Now that the weather is cooler there's hardly anything wild to be found.

Happy Halloween, and see you soon.

Trick or Treat

The tiny toad costume is very good, but he's a couple of days early.

Katydids On Wires

I give you a choice of colors, and for the techies a choice of AC cables.

It must have been the wet spring and summer that caused these things to be so abundant.
I can spot half-a-dozen whenever I walk outside, and if they were so common in years past I would have posted a ton of pictures of them before now.

There are a few more katydid photos in the future, but if you're lucky I'll shoot something new to spare you having to see them.

Corkscrew Clouds

There were three of these, nearly identical corkscrew clouds.
They were just ahead of a weak front that preceded the acrtic cold front that blew into town twelve hours later.

Moon Shine

The Guadalupe River in Kerrville Texas at 12:41am today.


I didn't know the club we were playing at had the river right behind it, otherwise I would have brought the tripod and been able to select the best location instead of relying on a convenient wood gazebo's shelf. Not an excuse--I still like it and might not have done any better. I'll be prepared next time.
