Today’s Image | Waxing Crescent Moon The moon seems like an easy photo to capture. It’s big and bright and stands out against the night sky. To get some surface detail though, the image usually needs to be under exposed which means a manual exposure and a tripod. Note: I post an image most days at hankconrad.com.
Potpourri Galore | Piper Cub on Skis Taxiing Ski Plane Weekend is always fun and usually very cold. To see the entire story, go to Ski Plane Weekend | a 7 Image Story. Of course, the difficulty to capturing good airplane images in the winter with snow, is to keep the shutter speed low enough to blur the prop and pan well enough to keep the wings and fuselage in sharp focus while dealing with bright, hard mid-day light. A 1/125s shutter speed is about as high as I like for a click like this one. Note: I post an image most days at hankconrad.com.
Today’s Image | Waxing Gibbous Moon The moon should be an easy image to capture. Unfortunately, it’s a bit more difficult to capture the details on the moon. Note: I post an image regularly at hankconrad.com.

Today’s Image | Cold Blue Jay Blue Jays don’t stick around in one place very long. Getting a closeup has turned out to be challenging. This one seems to be puffed out just a bit. Note: I post an image regularly at hankconrad.com.
Today’s Image | Cold Male Cardinal Finally, a nice snow makes great background for this beautiful Cardinal. Note: I post an image regularly at hankconrad.com.
Today’s Image | Warm Blue Jay The first part of January this year has been unusually warm. No snow yet for this hardy winter companion. Note: I post an image regularly at hankconrad.com.
