Minotaur I Night Launch
I just happened to find a news article talking about tonight’s Minotaur I launch. We had barely enough time to snag a tripod, grab an appropriate lens, get most of the family bundled up, and head out the door… but we saw it. Here is the first picture as it came into view heading over …

For Those Who Struggle with Changing a Bicycle Tire…
Here is a little motivation for anyone who says “I don’t know how to change a bicycle tire”. Imagine having no hands and only one stump. Now imagine changing a bicycle tire. Amazing what people can do when they need to!

It’s Hard to Beat L. L. Bean
L. L. Bean products may not be the cheapest, but they sure do stand by them. We’ve now owned three of their tents. The first of our L. L. Bean tents started loosing the waterproof seam tape on the fly after six years of reasonable use. We stopped in at their Freeport store to inquire …

Baby Lamb Snacking
We stopped by Coggeshall Farm last week to check out some of their new baby animals. So far this year, they’ve had three baby lambs and a baby cow. The lambs will stick around for a while, but if you want a chance to check out Nemo (the baby cow) don’t delay. He’s going back …

Most of the guys there have been involved with many setups for events, so I was drafted into service taking pictures… …

New Lid
Picked up a new lid today. A nice high viz helmet, with reflective strips, two built in lights and a mount for a third light. Every little thin I can do to make sure cars can see me will only help!

Bird Photo Shoots
These are the outcome from a couple different evening photo shoots. I’m still hunting for the perfect, amazingly sharp osprey pictures… but think I’ll need to invest in a tripod to really get one. These are all hand held and it’s just too hard to focus at these focal lengths. For now, I just need …

Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 EX DG HSM
I ordered a Sigma 70-200mm f2/8 EX DG HSM lens for my camera, which arrived yesterday. It was a really windy day today and I had a chance to grab some pictures of the seagulls enjoying an afternoon meal. This is my first real test of the lens, but so far, I have to say …
