The Birds, Part Deaux
Just looking over the last post …
There is no better salve for a restless soul than the open road and singing at the top of one’s lungs to Social Distortion.
That’s good stuff. Too bad it was tempered by idiots on the super highways and the economic meltdown (I love the BBC, but it got a wee bit carried away with the doomsday proclamations). Anyway, so I was in Savannah, GA last week for business. No, I didn’t meet Chardonnay or any of the other real-life characters in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, but I did see the house. I also managed to find time to take a few shots. My primary photographic goal was to capture the moon coming up over the Atlantic Ocean. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the most spectacular of moon rises (the night that would have made a most kick-ass picture — clouds and lighting on the horizon, with the moon ducking in and out — I was sitting through boring presenations. Plus, the night I did shoot, while I had a tripod out, and was using the timer, I still had camera shake in many shots, thanks to the wind. Having camped on the beach numerous times, I should have thought of this, but alas, I did not … live and learn, I suppose.
I did manage to get some half-way acceptable shots of the sunrise, despite the fact that it was so hot and humid my lenses fogged the second I emerged from the car. But in a not uncommon occurrence (for me, at any rate), the best photos of the trip were the ones I took just screwing around, in this case waiting for the moon to come up … I really like these two below.
