Christmas lights at the zoo - since they've swapped to the LED lights, it's harder to get a shot that I really love.  The overall effect is nice, though.

I like taking pictures of the moon.  I think I'll need to get a teleconverter to get the kind of shot I really want, though.  My zoom maxes at 300mm, so I need to do a 100% crop to see the detail.

Reece and I were waiting for Rachel, so we wandered over to the BMW lot.  It really is a shame how ugly those things have gotten.  Even the Bentley sitting on the lot looked obnoxiously ugly.

On the way home from what was  'Clash of the Titans II' sans Alice in Chains.  Anthrax as the opener, Megadeth follows, and finishing out with Slayer.  The rules state that after any Slayer concert, you are to blast all the Slayer tunes you felt they should have played that night.  Had to queue up 'Playing with Dolls', 'Jihad', 'Mandatory Suicide', and 'Snuff' since they were omitted.

I was at the kid's school for Curriculum Night, and I had my camera with me for no particular reason.  I like the colors of this shot, though - there was a floodlight in the parking lot giving the trees a nice glow.

Reece wore himself out, and fell asleep in a sea of stuffed animals.  This is the kind of situation where having a fast lens makes all the difference.  That would have been one cranky kid if I had to use the flash . . . .

This is my second attempt to get a decent picture f the moon.  It filled more of the frame this time - I'll have to pay more attention to where and when I get the shot.

Sick today, but I still wanted to get a shot.  Reece was sleepy and a bit cranky before bedtime, so I sat in front of him while he made sad faces at me.  This one came out the best.  This was a real low-light shot - the ISO auto-set to 6400.

You'd think there was only one lamp in the house!  It's always my test subject - I got to playing with the the development settings and noticed that the wall texture wasn't lost in all the manipulation.

Rachel stuck her Webkinz horse (named Firefly) in my shirt for tomorrow.

A bit of plumbing makes a late-night run to the hardware store a necessity.  Just for fun, I try getting a wide angle picture in the dark.  It was overcast, so  it appeared really dark out.  To be fair, it was also about 9.40p at night.
I will say this - there is no such thing as a single trip to the hardware store.  No matter what you are working on, the project will require at least two trips and cost a minimum of $200.
