A picture from last weekend. I’ve gone to Caberfae quite a bit and clear, non-windy days like this one are rare. And, the moon happened to be coming up over the ski hill. Picture taken with Samsung S4 (phone) with it’s 4.2mm lens (31mm equivalent), f/2.2, 1/5000 sec shutter, ISO… Continue reading
This is a winglet on some variety of airliner. Did you know that winglets can decrease the drag of a jet 3.5% to 4.5%? Now you do. Fun story, I’ve been sitting in the airport waiting for a delayed flight and looking out the window at a plane that we “could”… Continue reading
This was taken on a trip before I was officially involved in the WPC. I was overseas supporting various potential customers and met up with some of the people who were there on a WPC trip. I don’t remember who we were visiting at the time, which is probably good… Continue reading
I thought I had posted a night picture of this building before, but my quick searching says maybe not. Maybe I tagged it for later use. Anyway, this is the Frost Bank Building, which I was assured is the coolest building in all of Austin. Picture taken with Canon Rebel… Continue reading
From the Steve & Matt tour Austin trip – the UT scrimmage was going on that day and they had their mascot Bevo on display. That is one huge, but docile bull steer. Picture taken with Canon Rebel XTi, EF-S 17-85mm lens @ 47mm, f/16, 1/400 sec shutter, ISO 200

Oops – forgot to add text to this space. Well, that’s a picture of North Manitou Island as seen from one of the overlooks on the Pierce Stock Drive. Not sure what the Coast Guard ‘copter was out there for. Pictures taken with a camera (details at home, writing from… Continue reading
Yeah, yeah, I know… get off the stupid bridge already. BUT, THIS ONE HAS THE MOON! Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 18-135mm lens @ 18mm, f/8.0, 2 sec shutter, ISO 1600
One of the tulip beds as we were walking back into town from the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island. Tulips are kind of delicate and don’t tend to last long, but I like their kind of clean simplicity. I think this is the last one from the Mackinac trip for,… Continue reading
