First, hello from just north of you at Canyon Lake!
Second, those are some awesome captures! I have been working on some Milky Way shots myself, and the windmill idea is all that AND a bucket of chicken!!!!!
Thanks, Mac! I live just a tiny bit south of oldasdirt, and the damage in the area is of apocalyptic proportion. Tons of prayers and lots of help and resources are needed all over the region. Prayers especially to the husband and father who is still awaiting news of his missing wife and 2 children who were washed away while still in their home, and to all who have lost loved ones or are waiting for any information about their missing loved ones.
Welcome aboard! I grew up in the Houston area (Katy)! If you ever find yourself in the Central Texas/Hill Country area, look me up! Would enjoy showing you some great places for photography!
Congrats on the 1DX! I absolutely LOVE mine! I just got mine about two weeks ago, and I watched the tracking details like a child watches NORAD Santa Radar until it arrived on my front porch!
Welcome to the Hog, cobrajack! Always glad to see fellow Texans joining the group! You'll definitely enjoy your time here, and you'll learn a lot in the process, no doubt!
Aloha ahiahi, JoAnne! I hang quite a bit in your beautiful part of the world, but mainly on Kauai (Hanapepe and Koloa). I do make it to Maui every once in a while tho! Mahalo nui loa for the welcome note!
