Japanese Tea Garden at Brackenridge Park

In November we ventured down to San Antonio, TX.  While me and the family were there we visited the Japanese Tea Garden at Brackenridge Park.  It was truly delightful and most relaxing; We recommended it to anyone visiting San Antonio.  Here is just a hint of what the garden has to offer.  Here is a link to the website if your interested:  http://www.saparksfoundation.org/japaneseteagarden.html

Cincinnati Nighttime Cityscape

We finally made up our minds to just do it. Take our two cameras, a tripod, and head up to Cincinnati's Devou park in the middle of the night to get a decent Cincinnati night-time cityscape! I thought it would be as easy as mounting the camera and letting the shutter drag a little to capture the light trails of cars shooting down I-75. But it turned out that shooting several (about 20) photos and laying them over each other as a multiple exposure was the trick. The results were impressive! It was, however, quite windy, so we had to watch out to make sure the camera wasn't moving around, because a deviation of even so much as a fraction of an inch would ruin the whole photo.
