A night in recent memory featured an almost-full moon and gloomy skies. I took photos. It looked like something out of a scary movie. I used the digital zoom on my camera in order to get closer to the moon, and this means some of the photos aren’t as clear as they should be. Still, [...]
» Go to this postIt’s raining softly now. About 20 minutes ago, the sky looked like this. Simply amazing. I live in North Bethesda, MD. If you live in the area, maybe you saw it too.
» Go to this postI count myself blessed for living where I live. Our community is a beautiful place, and even though it’s in the middle of a city, surrounded by major roads, great care has been taken in its planning and maintenance over the years. It feels more like a park than a residential community, and the fact [...]

I have owned the Kodak EasyShare v610 Dual Lens digital camera for the past year and a half, and I’ve meant to write about it for some time. This will be a nostalgic review, since the camera is no longer being made.
Last weekend, I put together an 8-minute video review, and also took some photographs [...]
Long-time readers of my blog know my obsession with the sky. I never tire of photographing it. I take photos of it almost every day. Here are a few I took just a few days ago.
» Go to this postThis will be my 1,000th post, so perhaps it’s fitting that it be this: photos of the dawn, breaking high above the clouds, somewhere near the coast of France. It symbolizes a new beginning, a milestone — although I have to confess it came by surprise. I hadn’t monitored the number of posts for a [...]
» Go to this postI took this photo during our recent camping trip to the Blue Ridge mountains. Although the sky was overcast during our first night, it cleared up afterwards, and we couldn’t believe how many stars were visible during our second night. It was so beautiful and peaceful, that I couldn’t help but feel God’s presence there.
» Go to this postMeta work can be a lot of fun, and also a little different. I took a recent photo of mine (from January), set it as my desktop background, positioned my mouse, then focused in for a macro shot. I really like how the honeycomb texture of my laptop’s LCD monitor came out. The juxtaposition of [...]
» Go to this postOne photographic subject I never tire of capturing is the sky. It’s quite an amazing subject. No other in nature changes colors and shapes like the sky. The fantastic hues of its sunrises and sunsets, the cloud movements, especially before a storm, the amazing variety of its makeup, all make for wonderful photographic moments. (And [...]
» Go to this postIt was mid-afternoon and I couldn’t believe how beautiful the sky was. These puffy white clouds were strewn about like cotton candy. I had to get my camera and take photos. Just had to. Of the photos I got that afternoon, I think I like this one best. It looks as if you can climb [...]
» Go to this postThe sky really was this radiant that morning. I was as amazed to see it as you are now (I hope) and quickly got my camera out. I’ve never seen a sky like that before, and I don’t know what caused those cloud formations. All I know is that it looked fantastic.
