Solar Eclipse May 20th 2012

 

It took me a while to get the settings right.  I kept adjusting my shutter speed and aperture and I still wasn’t having any luck capturing the solar eclipse.  The other problem was I did not have a filter for my camera nor did I have any glasses so I wasn’t sure how my focus was doing.  I kept trying and all I got was this:

so just on a whim I decided to adjust my focus all the way in the other direction and wahlah it finally worked.  Who knew adjusting the focus would be the difference!!!  I just wish I would’ve thought of it earlier!

Frosted Sprinklers

Patrick saw this on the way home from dropping off Ari at school.

All he told me was to grab my camera and go down the street a little bit and take pictures of the frost before it melts.  I was a little skeptical at what I might find, but it was better than I thought….
