Well here it is sunday and I have not had a few minutes to myslef to take a picture or look at the stars through my new telescope. Given that I am going to try doing one picture a week and see if I can do that. School is a bear this semester but I am almost done. This semester and one mroe class and I will have a BSBA in Computer Information Systems. Not going to go for my Masters or PHD yet though.

Alcor and Mizar plus others

Last night we had very clear skies here in Wahiawa and I was able to see the two stars Alcor and Mizar in Ursa Major. It is in the Big Dippers handle and I was able to see it with my 25mm Lens on my Orion XT 4.5. Very Cool indeed. I was also able to see the Orion Nebula in the Orion constellation. This one is a favorite. Again it was with my 25mm lens. I also saw the moons of Jupiter, checked out our moon, Venus and saw the rings on Saturn later in the evening. One thing I will definitely need in the future is more lenses and some filters. The moon was pretty bright and hard to look at so I need an ND Filter. My biggest issue is,a s with most, light pollution. I was in my driveway and the streetlights blocked off quite a bit.

Welcome

Aloha,
I decided to try a new experiment with my Nikon D90 and see if I could get my creativity and imagination moving forward photographically. I looked at a few websites and one recommended the 365 Creativtiy exercise. Basically you take a picture everyday and try to work with different lenses and settings to be more creative. So, I am going to take a picture everyday starting soon and post them here with some information about them. I welcome feedback.
Mahalo,
Edward
