The Dark Side of the Moon
The Dark Side of the Moon
Here’s a long exposure photo of tonight’s moon, the bright half is what you see with the naked eye, but it’s all over exposed. The dark side is visible however, and a nimbus of light appears around the moon from the over exposure. You can also see some star tracks off to the right side. The second photo is taken with a 1/125 shutter speed.
Bare Trees
The trees are bare of leaves, however the squirrels are still finding plenty of acorns; when Kasey isn’t paying attention they sneak into the yard and up the trees.

The Far Shore in Autumn
The Far Shore in Autumn
A picture across the lake at Shawnee Mission Park. To the right but out of the photo is the dog beach where people train retrievers and other water dogs. Click on the thumbnail for the larger version. I need to remember to take the tripod next year to catch this scene better, when you shoot from the window of a moving car with a telephoto lens you don’t get the sharpest picture.
