circumjacence

I’ve spent a lot of time the past few weeks pointing the camera at the ever changing colors and textures over my head.  A number of the night-time long exposures were taken with a wonderful Tamron aspherical rectilinear lens (think wide-angle without the “fisheye” distortion).

The weather got pretty hairy here last night with hail, heavy rain, heavy wind, and a tornado sighting at 10:35 (we all sat huddled in one of our interior underground rooms and read stories out loud).

Anyhow, at some point I stood around outside and tried some long exposure photography. Most of it was a bust, but I liked these two pictures despite the grainy high ISO look of them (film grain can be beautiful, digital grain is just nasty).

I couldn’t sleep this morning, so I drove around taking photos. Nothing particularly spectacular or sublime, just a morning…

Today Owen and I made a little photo-expedition to a nearby trail system, and I managed to get a few more shots for my “We Are Starstuff” collection.

I updated the collection in the “Photo Galleries” section of the site using the new built-in photo-gallery tools in Wordpress 2.5 (all of the other galleries here are still using the “WP-SimpleViewer” gallery).
