Sunrise Special

Hi there!

I was blessed with an opportunity to witness a sunrise on the east coast of our beautiful country. So I decided I would see if I could take some shots with my camera. So here are three shots; before, during and after :). I think they are pretty awesome if I say so myself.

Enjoy.

Orion's Nebula

Since I can remember, I have been interested in what was beyond our atmosphere. And since the first time I saw Jupiter and Saturn through a telescope, I have been hooked. But I had to be happy with photos from the net and looking at the starts at night, as the telescope was loaned to me and didn't have the resources to obtain one at the time.

Found a New Hobby.

Got me one of them fancy Canon EOS 600D cameras. So now I am trying to take some photos that make people go "Ooooh!" and "Aaaaawe!" etc. I am finding it rather fun and challenging. So here is my first submission. It is a photo of my son, Alexander. He was not at all happy having to wear the outfit, but gave me a nice shot nonetheless.
