Missouri Botanical Gardens (gewd night)
September 4 2011
We saw you!
Also, I like this picture a lot.
When I drive home from Rebecca’s at night, I take the backroads. In the field before the hill going up to the rear entrance to my neighborhood, I’ve noticed some serious lightning bug activity, and I’ve been meaning to try to photograph it.
Well anyway, all I had to use was a Canon 50mm f/1.8 prime lens, so I just tried various exposures at various apertures, sitting the camera on the hood of my car and using the “mirror lockup” custom function to prevent unnecessary shaking.
Brightness is a funny thing on monitors. I hope you guys can see these.
Well, it looks like my naysaying has been misguided. The snow forecast has more than doubled, and this from Webster:
Due to inclement weather the STL area campuses are closed today (2/1).
Anyway, back to bed. Snowpocalypse, snowmageddon, etc.
