Paul D. Natkin: October 2010

Last night I took a couple shots of Jupiter and the moon. The sky was partly clouded over, so I don't know whether Jupiter will show up in the photos. I'm not sure when I took the photo below.

I took my cousin's photo at the Viewpoint today. It was quite a warm day, and very clear, but we agreed that it may be one of the last of these.

Headed for the Viewpoint now.

The leaves of the Sentinel are turning yellow. I could see this even though it was dark when I arrived at the Viewpoint. There was someone in a hoody sitting very quietly at the north bench.

I drove by the Viewpoint this morning. The lawn was being mowed. I'm not sure just who it was who was doing it. In any case, the sun was shining, and it looked as though there was probably dew on the ground.

Now the lights of the stadium aren't really blue, but in order to keep the light in the park from looking altogether orange, I needed to correct in a way that made the stadium lights look blue. Maybe by next year I'll master masking so that I can learn to compensate for this.

I don't remember exactly when I took this photo, but it was either in September or October, I believe--probably September.

If only I'd been to the Viewpoint today, how happy I'd be. Instead I had to write an email that ended up being a little longer than I wish it had.

The moon reflected on the lake is stunning around this time of year.

Busy at the Archives today. I'm struggling with how orange to make the trunk of the Sentinel when I paint it.

Skoro budet, the saying goes. Each image is a struggle, and each takes time to come into the world, even when the shutter speed is fast.

Sometimes the mist rises from below, even in the late summer or early autumn. I suppose the patch of haze in the upper lefthand corner of this picture is nothing but the light of the nearby lantern. I should have used a hood around my lens, but I didn't happen to bring one with me.
