My Super Moon Photo I took on 05 May 2012 was published in the Twinsburg Bulletin last week. This is my first published photo.
I captured this photo of a rose in the front yard after a May Thunder Storm.
The boys and I made a trip to Nelson-Kennedy Ledges State Park in Northeast Ohio located near the Village of Hiram over the weekend. The park was very busy with lots of vistors. The park is small but it’s attraction are the rugged cliffs and ledges. The boys and I had a great time and I took the camera, of course. We will be going back!
Photos of the hike are below, click to enlarge.
All four of these sunrise photos where taken from the same location at the same time on 4 different days at the end of April and beginning of May. They were taken at the Parking Lot of George G. Dodge Intermediate School in Twinsburg, Ohio. All photos were taken with the iPhone using Camera+ to take and process the photos. It is amazing to see how the color of the changes.

I got up early this morning and went to the Balloon Classic Invitational in North Canton at the Kent State Stark Campus. This was a combination of a Balloon Launching Site and Target Site. First they launched approximately 18 Hot Air Balloons. After the launch the field became the target site for at least 50 balloons, I lost count. The pilots in the ballons tried to drop bean bags on the field as close to a “X” as possible. This was quite a site to see this many balloons approaching one location.
Additional photos are hi-res photos in the Balloon Classic Invitational (North Canton, Ohio) (2010-08-01) album.
Another photo of the Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort taken in Summer of 2011. Another photo of this resort was posted a while back and it had a great reflection!

I went out tonight to shoot the moon. We had a Super Moon, according to Wikipedia a Super Moon is:
A "supermoon" is the coincidence of a full moon (or a new moon)with the closest approach the Moon makes to the Earth on its elliptical orbit, or perigee, leading to the technical name for a supermoon of the perigee-syzygy of the Earth-Moon-Sun system. The association of the Moon with both oceanic and crustal tides has led to claims that the supermoon phenomenon may be associated with increased risk of events such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. However, the evidence of such a link is widely held to be unconvincing.
I went to the Twinsburg Township Square which is located in the heart of Twinsburg at the corners of SR-82 and SR-91. I captured the image above of the moon rising next to the flag pole displaying the US Flag.
I found this spot using the The Photographer’s Ephemeris which is an application that helps you determine the best locations to shoot sunrise/sunset and other photos during the Golden Hour (last hour of sunlight of the day). They have clients for iOS, Android, Mac OS X and Windows. A screenshot showing the location is provided below. The blue lines show the moon and the orange/yellow lines show the sun.
