daily slice-of-life photo blog of a Gen-X dad
I woke up early this morning to see the lunar eclipse. I wasn’t planning on taking photos, but since the camera was already on the tripod, I figured why not? My longest lens is not very long, so the moon looks tiny, but I think I captured the color accurately.
After I went back inside the house, I set up the camera for a little time-lapse. Please take a look!
I bought this Sigma 10-20mm lens in 2013 to use on my Sony A77 DSLR, and when I switched over to Fujifilm, I used it only rarely. But I have recently found it to be a great lens for my Twitch stream. The ultra-wide field-of-view allows me to show my desk, as well as Yuzu as she sleeps on her pillow next to me. I’m so happy I didn’t have any takers when it was up for sale a few years go. 😀
This evening I finished A Heart Divided, which is book four of The Legends of Condor Heroes series. I was actually standing at the kitchen island, reading and drinking shochu, because if I lie down or sit down to read, I’ll almost immediately fall asleep not matter how good or exciting the book is. And A Heart Divided is excellent. It’s a series that I look forward to reading every night!
I’m a bit sad that I am finished, but also excited because I can now start watching the 2017 Chinese tv series! I wanted to finish the books first, and keep my imagination’s versions of the characters untainted by actors. 😀 It’ll be interesting to see how close the casting of the tv series comes to my mind’s eye.
I took this photo on the trail at Enchanted Rock State Park in Texas. Such a pretty flower!
