I had some time today so I was able to get through editing a bunch of RAW photos. I’m including the brand new galleries as well as photos from recent trips that I’ve been on.
Loew Lake Unit – Southern Kettles

In this tightly cropped image the NASA space shuttle Atlantis and the Hubble Space Telescope are seen in silhouette, side by side during solar transit at 12:17p.m. EDT, Wednesday, May 13, 2009, from west of Vero Beach, Florida. The two spaceships were at an altitude of 600 km and they zipped across the sun in only 0.8 seconds. Photo Credit: (NASA/Thierry Legault)
Last Saturday I decided to head back to the Pike Lake Unit of the Kettle Moraines. I got a lot of good photos last time, but this time I wanted to try a different lens. All the photos from this hike were shot with the Canon 18-55mm kit lens. It was nice to have something a little wider than my 28-135mm, but I did miss its image stabilization and sharpness.

My home town is very close to the Northern Kettles, but since I’m now going to school in Wauwatosa/Milwaukee I’m very close to the Southern Kettles. This past Saturday was really nice and a couple days prior I decided that I was going to wake up early (7:20am on a Saturday for me) and go for a hike with my dSLR. I did manage to wake myself up that early and had a great time hiking the Scuppernong hiking trails.
