Back to work, Shoot the moon and crazys

We I have finally gone back to work...sort of. I worked a full week this week, but probably won't next week. We are waiting on materials, but once here, we should be good for awhile. After having more than 5 months off this year, it almost feels funny working a full week.

I got a chance to do show photo work tonight. Thought I would try and learn how to photo the moon. It's not as easy as it would seem, Many, many bad photos later ( like 70-80 ) I finally got one that I liked. Here is the one I like the best...



Taken with the Nikon D50 and 70-300mm Nikor ED lens

I worked in Berkley, Ca. this last week. What and eye opener that city is. They drive like maniacs, and also act like them too. I'm really WAY out of my element there to say the least. Luckily, I spend most of my time there either on the job, or at the motel.

The highlight of the week was getting flipped off by some crazy bull-dyke. A wonderful place indeed!

A slow weekend, pictures and cash in the news

It's been a slow weekend. Not much going on. The weather was bad on Saturday, so not much to do. I did drive down to Corning and visited with David which was nice. Don't get down that way all the much to visit. Last night we had thunder and lightning and rain.



Today, Sunday, the weather was beautiful! I got a chance to drive the Cobra and do some tuning on it. It runs great now that I have the new mass air sensor on it. Soon I can go wide open throttle with it and see what it will really do!



I had taken some photos of the kid next door practicing Mototcross. Wanted to try the shutter priority mode on the Nikon D50. I learned a few things, but the pictures didn't come out too well. Never the less, if you do some post production editing, and apply some suitable filters via ThumbsPlus, you can get some cool abstract pieces. This is the one that I liked. Sort of different from the same old stuff.




In the news... (submitted by Billy Haynes)

Seems a contractor found some old cash in a wall, and it has turned into a crazy story.
