D106 - Ear buds

My normal headphones broke and I'm forced to user ear buds. While they serve their purpose I still have the hardest time keeping them in my ear in the least painful way. All this mean is that I will have to head out to the store this week and get a new pair. Funny, when I was younger I could put headphones through the ringer and they would last for months. These days they are easier to crack then an egg.

Enjoy,

D96 - Return of the moon

Tonight, I was out looking to capture some images of the stars, but quickly learned that you cannot do this when the moon is shining bright. It doesn't matter where you go, dark fields, out of the way parking lots, or even in a dark field near a non-lit parking lot holding your coat up to block some of the light. All of this is for not if you do not have the right shooting equipment for stars, depending on what your are shooting of course. So when the moon is too bright, shoot it, and then share it.

Enjoy.

D81 - Detours to Learning

When you work on a computer all day and then to then come home to work on another computer can be daunting. On the good side, I can take detours here and there at home while 'working'. The detours actually help with my focus when studying or completing multiple task. This is a technique I picked up when I learned Japanese, most of which was self taught. One of the suggestions of a Kanji lesson book was to work for a least 25 minutes and then take 10 minute break to let the lesson sink in. By the end of the book, I knew about 150 Kanji and still retain most of that knowledge. Of course, everyone learns differently,  so this might not be the approach you need to take. Never the less, there is no way to know if this will work for you too unless you try it.

Enjoy

D9 - Moon Light

There was a beautiful moon out tonight, so I broke out the 300mm on the cropped body to capture a few closeups.

Enjoy.
