Last Saturday morning I left for a work trip in Maryland and returned late last night, so my week in photos coincides perfectly with my week on the road! As always click on any photo to view full-sized in a new window
Day 79 Supermoon- I guess that’s what people were calling it, since it was closer to the Earth than it has been in years. I guess it did look bigger in the sky, but you can’t really tell from the photo.
105mm macro lens, 1/125 sec at f/11, ISO 100
Day 80 Statue- there was some Civil War battlefield near my hotel so I got out and wandered around shooting for a bit, trying to find something more interesting than “hey look, a statue in a field.” When I moved so that the statue was in silhouette I had my shot!
105mm macro lens, 1/4000 sec at f/4.5, ISO 200
Day 81 Reece’s- Monday night I had the munchies, thank god for vending machines and Reece’s Peanut Butter cups!
105mm macro lens, 1/50 sec at f/3.0, ISO 1600
Day 82 Drip- Can you see me in the reflection? It’s a little distorted but I swear, that’s me! Tuesday night I decided to check out the hot tub at the hotel, this is my swimsuit hanging in the shower afterward.
105mm macro lens, 1/50 sec at f/3.2, ISO 400
Day 83 Adolescent Sense of Humor- my inner Beavis and Butthead definitely came out when I saw this road sign! I mentioned some Home Stress issues the other day, since we’ll be moving to this area in 2012 I took the opportunity to explore some neighborhoods, which is when I saw this sign.
18-105mm lens, 1/13 sec at f/5.3, ISO 800
Day 84 One Big-Ass Gun!- More driving around and finding random sights, I came across a military museum of some sort that had a display of all sorts of tanks and cannons out front, this one was the biggest of them all. I’ll admit that the perspective accentuates the view, I put my camera on the ground set the timer for 10 seconds and ran out into the field of view. Yes that’s me in the picture.
18-105mm lens, 1/80 sec at f/4.5, ISO 200
Day 85 Almost Home- Heading north on I-91 in Connecticut, if you can read the GPS screen you can see I’m getting there. Contrast the expecting arrival time with that in this photo I posted to Twitter before I hit the road- not too bad considering I stopped 3 times and had to pass through New York City!
Yes, I took the photo while doing 76 mph on the interstate…
35mm prime lens, 1/320 sec at f/1.8, ISO 3200
