Being at the right place at the right time is a a key to making an interesting picture. Though, as Ansel Adams said, “Fortune favors the prepared mind.” I guess I was ready for this shot . . . .

I have to wonder if the person who mowed this lawn used GPS to get the lines so perfectly straight and perpendicular?


08-13-14 Sailing Towards the Super Moon

August 13, 2014 in Blog, Landscape, Sailing, South Dakota

By Scott Shephard

If you were puzzled by the one-line tease for this post, you should be. I was confused years ago when I came across this sentence in an article about the moon in a fairly serious magazine. Where are the editors when you need them?

Anyway, I took this a few days ago sailing on starboard tack under a light western breeze as I made my way north on Lake Oahe. I'm afraid the moon looks pretty small in this photo but maybe that's because Lake Oahe and the wide open reaches of central South Dakota make almost anything seem small.
