Quickies
Ben has a new word. Google. Of course, he means Dougal the cat, but it’s cute anyway. He’s having fun climbing anything he can get onto. Nothing is safe, not even the light switches.
The Maple trees outside the house have been the most incredible shades of red, orange, and yellow this past week or so. I don’t remember them ever being this vivid. In the mornings, the light reflecting from the trees bathes my office in a pinkish glow.
The moon was nearly full last night with completely clear skies. This is not normal for November in Seattle, nor was the proximity of a very bright planet. This shot blows out the moon to pick up the light from the nearby planet. I think this was ISO 100, f11, 1/4 sec or so.
And one of the moon exposed to see the detail. This is an actual pixel crop from the 100mm lens. (exposure was ISO 100, 1/100 sec @ f11)
