First Time Caller, Long Time Listener...

So, post número uno... awkward.

  I've been thinking about doing this for some time, starting a photography blog, and wondering what my first photo would be. I didn't really know what I wanted it to be until it dawned on me, maybe I'll just keep this as a photo journal. I really don't care if no one sees it or people read it every single day.

  On to the lonely photo. The idea is to have one photo per post, we'll call it "the best of the night," or in reality, maybe it's the only one of the night. Doesn't really matter, we'll just say that I love a good project and it's a way to keep me shooting. Now, what the hell am I going to shoot? I kinda figured that it would just come naturally. I didn't know what my first picture would be, though it seems fitting that I find what I want on Thanksgiving.

Nikon D5100, 1/125", f/20, 200mm, ISO100

  The last couple of nights I've been noticing a crystal clear sky; all the stars were perfectly visible, and there was no need for a flashlight because the moon was  full and bright. It was a bit blinding and distracting, even when I'm trying to fall asleep.

  I noticed again tonight that it[the moon] had the same glow to it, and so after getting situated at home I took out the camera and decided to test my Tamron 70-200mm under some moonlit conditions. I have to say, it came out pretty well, but I'd like to get more detailing of it. The moon itself looked better IRL, as usual.

  Bare with me on my skill, or lack thereof; I learn as I go. Stacking images will be my next photo project, I think.

  I haven't decided if this will be a weekly, biweekly, or monthly type of project. I know it will continue as long as time allows me. I want the range of my posts to be from night and day, wild life, urban, and even my experiments with Polaroid. This should be interesting, or at the very least funny. I know I love a good laugh.

Cheers for now,
