August 2012 Photo Assignment
The topic is "sky". Dark sky, stars, bright sky, clouds, storms, sunsets, sunrises... what ever you want, but the sky should be a prominent feature of the photo and not just there because you took it outside.
I like Grey Ghost's Rules so we'll leave them pretty much intact with just minor additions. You must be the photographer, and it must be taken this month. Use whatever camera you have with you at the time. Photo manipulation of contrast, lens correction (chromatic aberration, pin cushion, etc), exposure, brightness, color, sharpness and crop are allowed. "Chopping" something into the image is not allowed, as tempting as that may be with the full moon this week. HDR is allowed as is 'stacking' if you want to do some star trails You may submit several images to get feedback, but by the deadline you must edit it down to one for the voting poll. Use of Smart phone apps is allowed. No borders but filters are ok. Also vignettes are okay unless they are used as a frame. Deadline: Midnight CDT, August 31. Post 'em up!

is that the big blue thing that follows me everywhere? creeps me out... and at night, it turns all blackish with little twinkly stars (not that there's anything wrong with that).
sky....sky....yes, i'm certain i've seen it at least once..... Q: why is the sky blue? A: if it was green, you wouldn't know when to stop mowing the lawn..... |

Had some good shots of the Venus transit, but obviously that's the wrong month.
Took these yesterday evening... I'm hoping for better opportunities later this month. |

A friend of mine has a 400 mm Canon lens and I'm definitely going to have to borrow it. I didn't realize you could get that much detail with 400mm. Very cool! Nicely done!
