Pictures Published in Guideposts Magazine

Lunar Eclipse and Winter Solstice
It has been raining and cloudy for the past week, so I didn’t think I’d have a chance to photograph the latest Lunar Eclipse. As a matter of fact, I didn’t even charge the camera battery. As it got closer to the big event, I poked my head outside and what do you know….the clouds…

New Toys!
Really Right Stuff Goodies!After 5 years of having to screw on/off my camera to my tripod head, I bought a RRS B2-Pro clamp for my Manfrotto 488 head; B5D-L L-Plate for my 5D; and a L84 lens plate for my 300mm f4L lens. No more missed shots! Our family will be camping for two nights…
