Sunrise with Camera+
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.

Super Moon
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.
Sunrise
Sunrise from the Parking Lot of George G. Dodge Intermediate School in Twinsburg, Ohio. This photo was shot on yesterday morning when i was dropping my son off for the school day.
Quoted from the School website we learn that:
George G. Dodge Intermediate School opened its doors in 1970. It was originally opened as the Junior HIgh and was named in honor of a custodian who was much loved and who everyone was fond of. The school itself was built in two phases. The first section of the school was all the classrooms, auditorium, and cafeteria. The second section was built about 10 years later, which added the two gyms along with locker rooms. In January of 1999 the school name was changed to Dodge Intermediate School as a result of the new High School opening, and R. B. Chamberlin transitioning to the Middle School.
This photo was shot on an iPhone with Camera+. It is hard to believe what we can create with a camera phone.
Spring at the Twinsburg Government Center
This photo was taken in the Spring of 2010. This is the sign for the City of Twinsburg Government Center. I drove past this location yesterday looking for more Tulips but they are not there this year so I thought I would post this one.
Twinsburg Township Square
This is the Twinsburg Township Square which is located in the center of the City.
Except from the Twinsburg Township Square Page at the History of Akron & Summit County Webpage:
This is Twinsburg Township Square. There are many monuments on the square. Here are a few interesting things I found out about the square and the monument as the most prominent. -Twinsburg was settled in 1817 by Ethan Alling, a 16 year old boy/man that came here alone to survey the 400 acres that his family had purchased. As the area became more settled the town became known as Millsville. During the year 1819, identical twin brothers, Moses and Aaron Wilcox purchased approx. 4000 acres with the intent of selling it off in parcels and starting their own town. Their intentions paid off when they offered $20 toward the start of a school, and six acres for use as a public square, “IF” the area settlers would agree to change the name to Twinsburg.
Photos were taken on a very warm and sunny day in March 2012. The weather has been wonderful for March in Northeast Ohio. Click the thumbnails below to enlarge.

Waiting for Summer
It is March and the City of Twinsburg Pool is empty. With temps in the 70s everyone is looking forward to the pool opening in late May. It cannot come fast enough.
Sunrise over the Cleveland Clinic Twinsburg Campus
This morning I woke up early and went over to the Cleveland Clinic Twinsburg Campus to see if I could get a good sunrise shot over the building. I got some shots and this one is the best. I created this photo using 3 bracketed shots and processed them in HDR Efex Pro by Nik Software. I also used The Photographer’s Ephemeris to determine the location of the sunrise and the time.
