Power Outage / Sunrise

We had a fairly widespread power outage Sunday evening that lasted for about an hour and a half. Rather than sit at home in the dark, I went for a drive and ended up at a nearby shopping center.







and from this morning...

Lake Shelbyville Sunset

Dense Morning Fog

Happy Thanksgiving! Spent some time yesterday with the heavy mist but wasn't particularly into it as I was preoccupied with observing a fogbow but one never really developed.

Monday Morning

and one from the other day.

Wednesday Morning

Hard Freeze / Aurora LOL

Despite getting a late start on Tuesday, I still had time before things opened so I messed around with reverse ring on some frozen dew with ice spikes. Trying to remain steady so to capture an object that is no larger than a popcorn seed with reasonably good quality is more difficult than it seems. On one hand I probably shouldn't post these but then again, like all the rest of my stuff, I don't exactly care either. Lately I feel like I'm just going through the motions and not really paying attention to what I am doing. Editing is a chore because of all the issues I have but at least this reverse ring is something "new" to look forward to.













Later... FedEx




Prior to midnight, an insane aurora borealis event took place. Ordinarily I would be angry about the clouds but since I am not exactly at a happy place with photography, I was ok with them obscuring the display.

Sunrise Rainbow

A disturbance lifting from the southwest this past Saturday the 10th caught the early light resulting in a truly unique experience.

Sleet and Texture

Early this past Saturday we had a line of showers and storms lift through along a warm front that would have been insignificant were it not for the extremely cold temperatures and sleet mixing in with the rain. Closer to daybreak, a lull would occur after which another round developed along the cold front. A nearby weaker cell caught my attention for having slight structure and even popping off a few CG's. What came later though was a truly amazing sight in that the sky was covered with a textured layer that may have been undulatus asperatus.

Behind the "squall line"








Later I would head over to Rock Springs to assist in hanging a November/December show for a local art group. While there, I took the opportunity to harass some of the exhibits.






A weak high pressure would settle in behind the complex resulting in Sunday morning lows around freezing. These are more attempts at reverse ring macro.
