Light Side of the Moon

Yesterday on my way out of the store, I saw the moon shining brightly against the darkening blue sky. Luckily, I had my camera and decided to test out the zoom capabilities of it. The moon was set kind of high in the sky, and the sun was setting beautifully not far to the right of it. I was surprised to see that the moon came in as clear as it did, and that the surrounding areas were black, and not blue.

I did do a bit of editing to the photo by enhancing the color levels, and applying a filter through the Virtual Photographer plug-in on Photoshop Elements.

Employee Parking

Took this picture after a down pour of rain in Durham. This parking lot is almost always empty, give or take a few cars here and there.

Thought I'd give a little wave effect to the photo.

Purple Flowers

Saturday, Jen and I walked up to the Bimbe Festival that was going on at Durham Central Park. Along our walk, the festival was only a few blocks away, we came across flowers planted here and there. In front of our apartment was a flower bed full of purple and yellow flowers....and bees. I was able to catch this one doing it's thing.

The Moving Truck

After the rain on Friday night, I got up in my window and looked out at the intersection up the street. The lights were reflecting off the water on the ground, which helped brighten up the photo and add some colors. I was lucky enough to catch a moving truck drive by on Duke Street and took this photo at the perfect time.

Was going to use it for my DPChallenge submission for Motion, but was a bit late. Still love the photo though!
