I have never met Irene personally, but I did see her on TV. She looks rather large, but I’m sure she has a nice personality. If she does throw a fit tomorrow, then I’ll be sure to post some photos of the mess she might leave behind.
I took some shots of Martin and his “Hog” this morning, I have to say that the HDR shot (middle) might just be my favorite HDR photo yet. I kept it subtle this time, without all the “bling.” You can see a larger version of the photo on Flickr. The top shot is of me taking the shot (see reflection – ignore motor). The bottom shot was taken at a nearby Stop & Shop parking lot – just down the street. Martin made a few drive-bys, but the bright sun was too much for an optimal shot using the slow shutter speed. I was able to sort of salvage this one from the dozen I shot. Oh, well – live and learn. Did I mention this Hog is loud.
…to the Point Judith Lighthouse. I forgot my tripod. The kids collected some nice flat rocks for me, and Presto, instant rockpod. A short rockpod (requiring the prone position), but a rockpod nonetheless. So I was able to pull off the shot below after all. Whew. Turns out my sister-in-law, Mary, requested a copy, so it was worth the extra effort.
Nigel, having just turned 11 years old, keeps an eye on me in the backyard of the beach house. He’s the best dog EVER – in my humble opinion.
I took this from the Jamestown side of the bridge. We killed time in Newport while we waited for the sun to go down.
