tales of an ordinary girl: A Week of Sunrises Apr 2

A Week of Sunrises Apr 2 - 8, 2008

Wednesday: Fire in the sky - 6:52 AM CDT

A crescent moon visible right of the tree top (facing South) - 6:52 AM CDT

About 30 minutes later the sky is gold and gray (from another location) - 7:23 AM CDT

Thursday: I kept hoping for a peek of sun but only got rain and clouds - 7:05 AM CDT

Friday: Sunset - 7:38 PM CDT

Saturday: Late sunrise - 7:01 AM

Sunday: The sun escapes behind the trees - 7:24 PM CDT

Monday: Jupiter faintly visible in this shot - 6:22 AM CDT

Jupiter brightened artificially and circled in red from the picture above

And 30 minutes later, a sunrise (taken in a different location) - 6:56 AM CDT

Tuesday: Thunderstorms - 6:54 AM CDT

For the life of me I cannot find Jupiter. And I stared for a while. ;)

It's difficult to see because of the flash, so I can completely understand. I uploaded a second picture below with Jupiter artificially brightened (it was only four pixels large) and circled. It's still hard to see in the regular view, but if you click on it you'll see the larger view.

I should have tried that shot without a flash. I still need a tripod.

I love these posts that you do! have you ever thought of upgrading your camera? you'd probably have a lot better luck with one of the dslr models.

Mamacita: I'd love to upgrade, but it's not going to happen for a few months at least. I was hoping we'd sell our house and have a little bit to spend on luxuries, but it didn't happen. However, now that it's rented we have some income coming in when it's not eaten away by maintenance costs. Maybe after I pay off my car that will be a little "reward".

Any suggestions on a good, not too expensive dslr?
