Caught this guy hanging out on our porch rail. At first his wings were closed untill DS2 leaned right up against him. I thought he would smoosh him, but instead he opened his wings.

Nice work, MadilynnsMomma. Your pics have a certain familiarity about them.

JFK = yes for Icon. Or you could use it for Monument or Museum, tho would like to see more of the building in that case - that's from the JFK Museum in Hyannis, right?

Supahfan = I don't think so for Reunion unless I'm missing something. Explain?

I've got the Korean War Monument already and have some thoughts for museum - glad he fit for Icon, and yep, it's from Main Street, Hyannis

Celtics are taking on the Lakers for another NBA Final. The rivalry is long run (To the days of Magic Johnson & Larry Bird); we just took them on in 2008 and we are "Reunited" this year. I can get a better reunion... I just wanted to throw some Celtic love out there. And I just like that Supah is "so Boston"


P.S. - I gotta get better at resizing...

What? You want me to help the competition?!?!?

The trails are caused by the shutter being open longer. The 2 important things you need are a LONG shutter speed and for your camera to be MOTIONLESS. I set my camera up on a tripod on an overpass last night on the way home from work. If you have a ledge and more guts than me, that will work. Set your camera to "Shutter Priority" and experiment. I went with 15 seconds. If the camera moves in the slightest way, the picture will be blurry.

Also, set the ISO low. I went with the lowest setting I had (100) because if the shutter being open so long. Looking at it again, I should have gone manual mode and maybe put the Aperture down a little.


Here's a tip for those cameras that don't have the functionality to control shutter speed. Get closer and TURN OFF THE FLASH! It may not be the same shot, you'll get headlight trails.

The rivalry goes back A LOT further than Magic and Bird. Before the 80's the Lakers and Celtics met 5 other times in the NBA Finals.... The Celtics first won in 1959 while the Lakers were still in Minneapolis. Then the Celtics won again in 1962, 1963, 1965 and 1966 after the Lakers moved to Los Angeles. They didn't meet again till 1984 when the Celtics won again, then the Lakers finally won in 1985 and 1987 before finally meeting again in 2008.
