And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by…
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.

ISS Flyover August 28, 2012
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.

Rapeseed Fields – Belvidere, Tennessee
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.

The Moon, Venus, and Jupiter February 25, 2012
I took these photos last night (February 25, 2012). Most are of the Moon, Venus, and Jupiter last night. The exceptions are the first is a pic, which was taken just after sunset, and the third pic, which was taken at the same time as the other pictures just more towards the North.

2011 In Pictures
These are a sampling of pictures I have taken this year. I selected them based on how representative they were of the month I took them in.
January
[nggallery id=47]
This was the most snow I can remember. 6.5″ to 7″ total depending on where I measured. Duke and Daisy had fun in it.
February
[nggallery id=48]
I didn’t have alot of photos from February. This was one of the few. I took it from the shore of Woods Reservoir.
March
[nggallery id=49]
I got a few flower pics for March along with pictures of the Supermoon on March 19.
April
[nggallery id=50]
April was the month mainly remembered for the Southeast tornado outbreak (more). The next to last picture was of the clouds that day near sunset. Other than that, Daisy liked it. I liked the hummingbird photo I took with the strange lens flare. I also liked that last sunrise photo for the colors.
May
[nggallery id=51]
Didn’t have a whole lot of notable pictures for May. I thought this carved figurine was pretty neat. Its just a solar light.
June
[nggallery id=52]
June was a very good month for lightning. On the 15th, there was a massive electrical storm. I captured lots of lightning strikes that day. One of the composites I created from that day is above. You can find more here and here.
July
[nggallery id=53]
July was another month I didn’t have a lot of photos from, but I did get one of Duke.
August
[nggallery id=54]
I started off August with a trip to Solomons, Maryland. I’ve selected a few photos from the trip but more can be found here. Towards the end there was some lightning and I tried my hand at some star trail photography.
September
[nggallery id=55]
Photos from September consist primarily of ones taken from Sewanee. The photos I selected were taken near the end of the month at sunset (or just after).
October
[nggallery id=56]
October was a mixed month. It started off with a bit of a fiery sunset, had some lightning, had a double sundog near the middle, and ended with another trip to Sewanee.
November
[nggallery id=57]
November was a pretty good month for photos. I got some pretty good sunrise, mud hen, abstract, and star photos. The star photos I’ve included here were taken with a new lines I got, a Nikon35mm f/1.8.
December
[nggallery id=58]
I was able to get some pretty good sunrise photos at the beginning of December. I toyed around with that new lens I mentioned earlier along with some exposure settings. I think I liked the results. Around the middle, I went to see Tornado Alley 3D at the Chattanooga IMax. I was able to get a decent shot after sunset of Lookout Mountain. The month ended with trip to Huntsville to see the Galaxy of Lights at the Huntsville Botanical Garden. I didn’t have many photos from the Galaxy of Lights so I just included one of the Rocket Center.

August 23/24, 2011 Star Trails
I took this photo tonight. I used the same technique as I did in the previous post. This one is about a 50 minute one. For some reason my SLR powers off after about that long. I will need to find out how to turn that off before making longer ones.
