I wield the flail of the lashing hail,
And whiten the green plains under,
And then again I dissolve it in rain,
And laugh as I pass in thunder.

Sunlight & Shadows on a Broad Scale
And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills,
Where blossom'd many an incense-bearing tree;
And here were forests ancient as the hills,
Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.
Dreamscapes - First Shots With Sony A6000
I recently pulled the trigger on a new camera purchase: Sony A6000. It was not only on sale at Amazon for $630USD but also bundled with a free case (meh), free 16GB memory card from Sony (always need more memory cards), and most importantly: 2 free batteries and charger from Wasabi Power. All of Sony's mirrorless cameras seem to eat up batteries like no tomorrow.
Fires of Heaven - A Stormy Sunset
I had missed a spectacular sunset the night before. We had cloudy skies the next day as well, so I decided to go out and shoot. The photo has the Suisun Harbor Lighthouse against a background of Twin Sisters mountain at sunset.
The image is a blend of 3 different 32bit HDR photos taken throughout the sunset. One photo, taken early on, had the rays of sunlight beaming through the clouds. A little later, the sky turned pink and orange. And one final photo, to blend in the lights of the Lighthouse as they finally turned on for the night.
