I spy the Moon……..oh wait is that dust on the lens?

No, that’s Jupiter. It wasn’t until I was in looking at my photos on the screen that I realized there was a star up there too. So after some digging I found out it was Jupiter.

From Abrahm’s Planetarium Night Sky Notes:

The thin crescent Moon is to the lower right of Jupiter. Look for the pair in the WSW at dusk. Jupiter is shining bright at -2nd magnitude. Neptune, at 8th magnitude, is to the lower left of the Moon, but requires a telescope to be seen.

Another night on top the hill…….another beautiful sunset.

What the heck have I been doing the past 2 weeks since my last post. Beats the heck outta me. Sports haven’t started yet……..so it can’t be that. It was hot and muggy the last two weekends, so I stayed inside and enjoyed the A/C. Oh well, tonight I was graced with another beautiful sunset atop of Hickory Hill. I wasn’t really paying that much attention tonight what I saw when it caught my eye was the under surfaces of the clouds just washed with an amazing array of pinks. By the time I got out there though, the intensity had died down a bit.

Received my NikSoftware Complete Collection today and just had to play with it. Below is a barn I took many months ago at high noon on a hazy day. The “Antique Plate II” preset in Silver Efex Pro really make this picture. Looks likes an old photo you would see in a book of barn of yesteryear.
