Shootin' the Moon

"Fright Night"


"Sliver"


"Man and the Moon"


"I see you!"

So I'm having a great time figuring out the different camera settings for the different phases of the moon. The amount of light the moon gives off (which is reflected light from the sun) requires either faster or slower shutter speeds on the camera to be able to capture as much detail as possible. I know, I know - enough of that. Anyway, these photos are from the past couple of nights. I've been having some halloween fun naming them! Can ya tell? LOL!



Now, old, forgetful me. Zach had his flag football game Saturday. Ok, so this is the 4th of the season - but he missed the first 3 because he was either too sick or we were gone. Anyway, I was so disorganized and to coin an old phrase "discombubulated" that I not only totally forgot to bring his bottle of water, but my camera and a blanket as well! So, it's 40 degrees (with the wind chill - brrrrrrrr) and I realize I've forgotten my camera - too late to go home and get it as the game has already started. Ah well, but I sure am missing that blanket!! It's not until the kids have been running for 20 minutes straight in their pregame practice, the game has started and is almost at halftime that I realize my son has NOTHING to drink! Oh NO!!! Luckily we were right by one of our city Recreation Centers and they had a drink machine. Whew! At this point I was like - oh well, we're ok now. It's the 1st game for Zach so there won't be anything to really photograph except him running in circles. It was about that time that they ran a double reverse, handing off the ball to Zach - who then ran 70+ yards!!! They then scored on the next possession! Then the other team got the ball. They ran a couple of plays and got down to about the 50 yard line. 4th down and they fake a run to the far side of the field while Zach stuck with his man on our side of the field. They threw the ball to Zach's receiver who caught it and had nothing but wide open field until Zach made a dive and grabbed his flag!!! Yippee!!!! Zach saved them from getting a touchdown!! And both of those wonderful plays happened.......and my camera was at home....................DADGUM IT!!!
