Christmas gifts from Mother Nature
Man, Mother Nature has been doing her best to give us some beautiful skies these past few days! What with the low clouds, the winds kicking up some dust, and tonite, the most awesome display of a Crescent Moon I’ve seen in a long time…just awesome!

I can’t tell you how many sunsets I’ve taken lately, but I find that it’s good practice because the exposure and color-temp can change pretty dramatically from one moment to the next. Shooting these photos helps me to remember where all the controls on my D70s and D200 are located.

These were taken with my Nikon 18-200mm VR zoom, the Nikon 70-200 2.8 VR zoom, and the Nikon 80-400 VR zoom. Now if I could only afford the 600mm F4, I’d be a happy camper!

Speaking of Happy Campers, here’s a couple of christmas shots for the DP Blogs December Photo Challenge!
