Super Blood Moon - San Diego - California

Well, I got a couple of decent shots of the #superbloodmoon, with the help of my neighbor. I took out my tripod, and noticed the quick release plate was missing. Thinking back a couple of weeks on our trip, I remember hearing a noise like something fell off the truck when Darcy and I left from place that we'd stop to have lunch and enjoy the view along the northern California coast. I remember looking around to see what it was, and there was nothing obvious, so I thought maybe I'd imagined it. But I bet it was the plate. I'd taken some shots with the tripod, and I probably unscrewed the plate and set it on the bumper of the truck. At any rate, my neighbor brought out his tripod, and we alternated several minutes at a time so we could both get shots of the #lunareclipse. This was right before peak of the eclipse. I wish I'd had a 300mm lens for these shots, but the 70-200mm f4 did nicely. More detail would have been nice. Maybe next time (in 2033)!

Northern California Coastline - High Bluff Overlook - Klamath - California

Here's a shot from the recent trip, taken near Klamath. We drove along a not-so-paved coastal road to High Bluff Overlook. On the return part of that loop, we found ourselves at the Klamath river mouth, where at least 100 people were salmon fishing.
