The Blue Moon

Posted on 31/07/2015 by matneym

July has a blue moon this year. While not rare it’s still pretty cool to have two full moons in a month. This is a hand held shot that came out pretty well. My tripod was in the truck and I didn’t feel like getting it out.

Larwood Covered Bridge

Posted on 23/07/2015 by matneym

Catching up on my photos from my trip to Oregon to visit my family. Didn’t have much time for photography but we did get out to see a few covered bridges. This is Larwood Bridge near Lebanon Oregon.

This little guy was watching another hummingbird flying just out of the view of the camera. I was trying to catch them both in the frame together but didn’t have any luck.

Dragonflies

Posted on 03/07/2015 by matneym

I’ve tried for so long to catch a dragonfly in flight and to actually have it in focus. This shot is as close as I’ve come and I am pretty happy with it.
