This is a selection of photos I took at the Estill Springs Lions Club Summer Extravaganza that I took back at the end of June.
Took this picture of an awesome Halloween decoration in Tullahoma, TN this week… Complete with Kraken.
This weekend, I had a chance to tour the The Columbus Foundation’s replicas of the Niña and Pinta on one of its last days in port in Chattanooga, TN.
I took several photos, but I made a wallpaper quality version of one. This is the rigging and top sail of the Pinta at the docks.
“And all I ask for is a tall ship and a star to steer her by…”
I also took this 360 degree panorama of the area including the TN Aquarium.
They are worth seeing. You can find out more about them on the website below.

This is a time-lapse of a lightning storm that I took back in July. The video consists of a series of images taken as a thunderstorm passed overhead. All pictures are taken with ISO 200, f/3.5, and an exposure time of 15 seconds. The audio is “Ritual Of Earth” by The Neon Judgement. I lucked out and found it in the audio swap library provided on youtube.
These pictures were taken during a flyover of the International Space Station on August 28, 2012. The one lesson learned from this set is that next time I want to take a series and stack them together for a picture that has the space station crossing the whole sky.
These photos were taken at the 2012 Fireworks show in Estill Springs, Tennessee. It was a really good show, one of the best I’ve seen.

These pictures were taken from the Tullahoma, Tennessee airport June 5, 2012. I had a 200mm lens with a no. 14 welder’s glass in front of it to capture Venus and the sunspots.

I took these two pictures back in April. These are Rapeseed fields in Belvidere, Tennessee. Rapeseed can be used for various things such as Canola oil and biodiesel.
