Proof of PurchaseMost of the class didn't show up at Mr. Simmons' audition for the local production of "The Bald and the Beautiful." Then again, he hadn't expected any of his students too because it was being held way downtown, right after school. He had actually taken the afternoon off himself to be there.

So when he was called to the stage and saw two of his star pupils, Arnold and Helga, sitting separately in the back of the theater, his heart swelled with joy.

As I was walking around Jamaica Pond one Sunday evening, playing with my camera, the nearly full moon popped up. So, out of nearly 160 pictures, two of three actually turned out decent. I tried a little post to enhance the contrasts and whatnot, but the raw image looks better to me no matter what. The EXIF data let me down, but this was probably taken with no more than a 1/3 stop underexposure.

Strangely enough, though, this picture was one of many that were taken without stabilizing the camera against anything else.

(That's why I have two 8 GB cards and spare batteries. :D) I'll get a portable tripod again at some point and use the self-timer for great stability.

It's a bit fuzzy allright, but the atmosphere and the composition are unique.

Yeah, a little fuzzed up, but everything I did to "clean it up" damaged the mood. Like I said, tripod! :)
