scanning film, getting my laptop to back up every night, and about to take pictures of the moon if the bugs aren't bad.

Interesting cloud cover down in RI. I noticed while walking the dog earlier. Hope it's similar up in NH and it makes your shoot more textured for you.

nope, no clouds. I also need to head somewhere that is less populated and less bouncy. my deck moved way too much.

long open lens shots?

nope, you have never taken shots of the moon. 1000mm + shots at 1/400 of a second.

Go to rocko's!!!! we love your pictures!

Now that I think about it, I took pictures of the moon years and years ago. I assumed that I would need a long exposure, but I was dead wrong. It was just a big bright mess in the end. I had forgotten about that.
