Lola at Six Weeks

These pictures were taken a couple of weekends back. Lola had just turned 6 weeks a couple of days before this shoot. I didn't try to do anything special with this one, mostly just moved around and took candid shots. These are what I came up with. Enjoy.

Circumhorizontal Arc

After many failed attempts I finally managed to capture a Circumhorizontal Arc. These are somewhat rare to see if you don't know what your looking for. I recommend you check out the wiki for more information, but in short...These occur when the sun is at a specific angle in the sky, and there are also cirrus clouds present.

They are sometimes called fire rainbows. If you can see a circumhorizontal arc where you live all depends on your location and the latitude. Here in the United States it is a relatively common to happen several times each year. Actually seeing them is somewhat tricky. I have read that they are quite rare to see mid-latitude and northern Europe.

Yesterday I helped my dad cut some trees down on his property. As we were cleaning up afterwords I looked up at the sky and noticed the clouds resembled the clouds I had seen when witnessing a circumhorizontal arc. I rushed inside and grabbed my camera, just as I was coming back out I saw it. I ran down to an empty field so I could get a better view. So after a few attempts of trying to get one of these captured in one of my photos... success!

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mas Tequila

These pictures were taken on a night of fun with my sister. Her husband took the baby for the night, and me and Ginny decided to let loose. We only had half a bottle of Patron left, but it didn't take us long to finish that off. Unfortunately we were out of lemons and were not in the mood to drive to the store so we had to make due with limes.

There is something I noticed about taking pictures while drinking. There seems to be more photos that are out of focus than in focus. Sometimes this isn't bad though and you end up with some really unique shots that you may not have come up with while sober.

My friend Mandy and I were talking about blogs tonight. I think I have decided to do a 'Beer a day' blog, or at least a beer a week blog. I would take pictures of the beer, and then write a detailed review of what I thought, and any interesting story that may go along with acquiring it. I'm eager to hear what my viewers think of this. Would this be something that would be of interest to anyone?

For the time being, please enjoy these Tequila shots. Get it?...Shots... Hardy Har Har!

This first image is the only one that was post processed, all of the rest are straight from the camera. These were taken on a D5000 with a 55-200mm lens.
