Random

The past couple weeks have been really hectic. Two of my great aunt's have passed away after long illnesses and while their passing was sad, they'd both been suffering for quite some time so at least that is over for them. I feel bad for their families though, especially for my grandmother who has lost a sister-in-law, a sister and a brother all within the past 2 months.

I haven't done too much shooting the past 2 weeks. I've been getting caught up on our backlog, and will thankfully have that erased before Christmas.

About 2 weeks ago I bought a new main camera. I got another Nikon, since all my glass if made for Nikon bodies. I've never understood the Nikon vs Canon drama that so many photographers contribute too. They both are capable of producing great images, it's the person behind the camera and what's in front of the camera that truly matters.

I've been playing with the new cam, and took a few random shots. The moon was almost full the other night and the sporadic clouds made for a really cool scene. I'm still no good at shooting the moon though, it's always blown out. I think they're still neat snapshots though. I also took a new photo of our dog, Eli. He rarely holds still long enough to grab a photo, so this was unique occurrence. And, tonight I was out driving when an amazing sunset caught my eye. The sun itself was down, but the after-effects were still pretty sweet.
