So here is mine. It's a time lapse of the moon during the total eclipse with three images of the moon coming out of the shadow of the earth. Of course I spiced up my image by adding some celestial effects using the Knolls Light-factory PS plugin.

Recently we made our first ever visit to Niagara Falls, a truly awesome site. But equally amazing were the rapids of the Niagara River leading right into the Falls. I wanted to capture this incredible sight with an image that deserved to be something more than a touristy looking point-n-shoot photo. That's where my trusty Beercan came in. :-)<br />
<br />
What's a Beercan? That is the affectionate name of a classic Minolta zoom lens. (it's appearance is similar to a tall beercan) This lens is quite old now. A legacy lens to be sure, that harkens to the old 35mm film camera days. But it still produces stellar images. The sharpness, the color and the continuous f4 aperture across the zoom is what made this lens a legend. And it still works with Minolta and Sony-Alpha digital bodies!<br />
<br />
But another feature of this lens that enabled me to produce this image is that you can stop down the aperture to an impressive f32! This super small aperture, together with a polarizing lens filter is how I was able to capture the unique look of the rapids themselves.<br />
Too see other Niagara Falls images, type NIAGARA in the "search my photos" box.<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So why am I featuring them on my blog? They're gorgeous! But wait, there's another reason also. These beautiful Zinnia's are from the gardens of Sarah McGee. Sarah has raised an awesome floral garden in Lawrence County Indiana and shares them at the Farmers Market in Bloomington Indiana each Saturday. Yes, you can buy fresh cut bouquets of flowers from Sarah on most Saturdays, as well as fresh produce.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But why no flowers or butterflies in your portfolio? Because both are naturally beautiful no matter who the photographer is. So it doesn't really showcase your talent.</span></div>

</tbody></table>Professional advisors say, "Do not put cats and dogs in your portfolio". Well this isn't my portfolio. :-)<br />
Kittens and puppies are so adorable it's hard to resist, but they do make good subjects for stock images. A feral cat brought this little kitten to our back door, so it made a good photo opportunity for my stock photography file.

Barns will always be a favorite subject for artists. I often photograph them for an artist friend of mine. I was drawn to this particular barn by the prospect of colorful blooming fields of chicory in the foreground. Unfortunately the cows found the chicory tasty and ate it this year, but a picturesque sunset saved the day.<br />
<br />
There's also a little history connected to this farm. According to one website, "The farm, located west of Springville in Lawrence County Indiana, is one of the oldest farms in the state. Since it was homesteaded in 1816, it has continuously been owned by the Ferguson family."<br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Photographing a full moon is a very tricky proposition.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">To get the detail in the top image, you risk turning your landscape black.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Or in the second image, over-exposing the moon.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Choosing a landscape closer to the actual horizon and moon-rise time might have given me a better chance at capturing a better combination of the two.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Practice, practice, practice.</span></div>
