Super Sized Lunar Eclipse

December 9, 2011 in East Lansing, Michigan, Recommended Information

Have you picked out your spot to look at or photograph the blood red moon tomorrow morning before dawn? Trust me, I’ll be worth it. Set you alarms early, have a bag with coffee, food, and warm clothes packed already, and roll out of bed to see it! The moon already looks larger than usual.

Here is a photo I took during the last one visible to me in 2008:

Rain Drops on Fall Color

November 24, 2008 in Fall, Forests and Trees, Macro and Abstract, Michigan

Rain Drops on Fall Color, originally uploaded by Allie.P.

I took this in Marquette, Michigan after taking a break from field work to turn around for two seconds to snap this picture out of the blue.

Sometimes its nice to stop for a section and appreciate the little details. I thought this shot would go in my pile of pictures that arent so great. Surprisingly, It ended up (i think) great! I didn’t even notice the rough texture on the bottom of the leaf when i took this.

Photography is great like that, you can take the shots that you know are going to turn out well, but its those shots you take blindly that seem to be the most unique in the end.

Fountain Droplets at Sunset

November 16, 2008 in East Lansing, Macro and Abstract, Michigan, Water

Fountain Droplets at Sunset, originally uploaded by Allie.P.

Sometimes in order to find interesting pictures I find i have to tell myself to stop thinking. On this photo outing to some of the gardens on Michigan State University’s campus, i kept looking for that perfect flower with the perfect light, and it wasnt until i sat down to take a break that I saw the cool water droplets I could shoot.

This is actually a large fountian in the middle of the Hoticulture Gardens, and every shot I took of this looked completely different. I made sure my shutter speed was about 1/4000 and kept shooting at different angles. The little yellow circles at the top are actually another stream of water that was reflecting the light of the sunset behind the fountain. The moral of this photo, is to always experiment! I had no idea these shots would come out so interesting until I started to experiement and move around the scene :)
