Trip to Seattle
A couple of co-workers and I ended up going to Seattle for a training a couple of weeks ago. While we were there we got out and did some sight seeing. Below are a few images from the trip.

Split Rock Moonrise
I took a few days off around the new year for a quick trip to Split Rock Lighthouse. On January 4th, the moon would rise right behind the lighthouse just after the sun set, which I have been waiting for a chance to photography. Unfortunately, the weather did not agree for the night of the 4th, as the wind chills were -40 and below, so I didn’t make the trip to the North Shore until the 5th. The moon rose about 50 minutes after sunset, so it was closer to a silhouette than I was hoping, but I made due with what I had. Here are 3 shots, being the clouds were thin and wispy, and sea smoke was quickly thickening, the moon rise looked more like a sun rise.

Cathedral of St. Joseph
I was in Sioux Falls, SD last week for work. I took a chance to head over to the Cathedral of St. Joseph for a few photographs. Due to the short amount of time I had, I stuck with capturing the larger scene. I will be heading back whenever I get a chance to photograph the exquisite detail this Cathedral contains.

14mm
In recent months I have been tinkering with photographing the night sky. I had found that my 17mm at f/4 was not the best for this job, so I started researching wider, faster lenses. I came across a good price for the Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 (also branded Samyang or Bower). The lens came in late last week, and I took it out for a quick shoot, trying to get a feel for it.

Duluth 2014 Airshow
A friend and I made out way to the Duluth Airshow last Sunday. The weather was not the greatest with a haze and overcast sky. The low clouds held off the start of the show until 1pm, but they did get some acts in the air. Here are just a few of the images I took, I still have more to work through.
