Fluorescent Gas Giant

This might be a scene from 20XX.... as viewed from a craft orbiting a gas giant light years away. Or, it might simply be a soap bubble on our kitchen counter.

  • Blue Veil Sunrise
  • Cataloochee Lamp Post
  • Bugging Me, Part 2
  • Chase Tower, Chicago
  • Moon Rising
  • Piano
  • Sunflowers
  • Bottle Bottom<br /> <br /> Another example of the iPhone camera's ability to get into locations that the SLR can't. I've been thinking about doing this shot for some time. In fact, I tried it before with the 5DMII and failed. This worked well, managing to capture the sides leading in.
  • Supermoon Over St Peter Chanel
  • Flash Splash<br /> <br /> Its simplicity belies my struggle to capture the effect. I had originally imagined somthing completely different. But I'll go with this one for today.
  • Blue-Green Textile
  • Cellular Subdivisions<br /> <br /> This is a quick snap of our Fiddle Leaf Fig. It's quite a healthy specimen despite our best effort to "do it in". Mom gave us the cutting 15 years ago from the mother plant at 2401 Harvard Rd, Lawrence Kansas. I think the original cutting came from Jack & Elaine Oruch. It would be interesting to know if this can be planted outside here in Atlanta.

  • Fire Storm
  • Crossing Paths<br /> <br /> These Herons or Cranes were circling our neighborhood most of the afternoon. Not sure what was going on but they looked like they were migrating. I was sure these were Great Blue Herons when I took the photo. Since then, I've gotten closer shots and they look more like Sand Hill Cranes. <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.chromanovus.com/Pic-A-Day-2012-1/2012-365/20847249_gbdHjz#!i=1722025250&k=7q3mP4T">http://www.chromanovus.com/Pic-A-Day-2012-1/2012-365/20847249_gbdHjz#!i=1722025250&k=7q3mP4T</a><br /> <br /> With FlightAware software on my iPhone, I figure that the aircraft was Aeromexico Aerovias Flight AMX6 From Paris to Mexico City... just under a 12-hour direct flight. They say it's a 767-200 which has a wing span of 156'. The Blue Heron or Sand Hill Crane span is about 6'. Using the lens focal length (250mm), I estimate that the 767 altitude is about 45,000' and the birds are at 3,000'.
  • Zoom<br /> <br /> This is shot taken from the car just outside our neighborhood. During the 1 second exposure, the lens is zoomed from 24m to 70mm. The red and yellow pattern to the left is actually a traffic signal changing color. The street is wet from rain.
