The “Stay at Home” order is effect in North Carolina. I am getting a little bored. I decided to go down to the water front and front and capture the sunset. I used my Tamron 17-35mm F/2.8-4 Di OSD lens for the sunset from Bridgeton, and the Nikon DX AF-S NIkkor 55-300mm | 4.5-5.6 G ED VR for the moon picture. My wife caught me … Continue reading Stay at Home Blues
After 4 days of damp, raw, cool weather, it’s nice to get outside and see the sunset. The picture was taken on the Alfred A. Cunningham Bridge in New Bern, North Carolina at 19:19 before sunset. The picture was taking with the Nikon Nikkor AF-S 50mm 1:1.8 G lens with Aperture Priority Mode on the camera. I still think I like using Manual … Continue reading Sunset March 26

The more I read about Aperture Priority Mode, the more I am curious of the result. You might ask, like my wife, why I take so many pictures of sunset at the beach or at the waterfront. Simply, there isn’t any thing more interesting where I live. Again, I played around the Aperture Priority Mode and setting a higher aperture for a sun burst effect … Continue reading More Practicing with Aperture Priority Mode
I been practicing with my camera. I read several blog stating the usefulness of using the Aperture Priority Mode. I decided to practice using Aperture Priority on my Nikon D7100 with the Nikon DX AF-S Nikkor 50mm |1.8 G lens. It was a nice day for a sunset, a little on the windy and cold side, but decided to go the waterfront to capture the … Continue reading Sunset New Bern Waterfront
The Moon was in Taurus on January 6, 7, and 8th. Because the Moon was beyond the First Quarter (which on January 2nd and 3rd), the sky was too bright to photograph. On January 6th, the Moon was Waxing Gibbous at 82% full, on the 7th the Moon was at 88% full. I am practicing my astrophotography, but it hard because my LCD screen doesn’t … Continue reading The Moon in Taurus
