Big Giant Moon Again

Tuesday night I venture out to see the Super Moon.  Cloudy, but shot anyway.  Nikon D850, Nikon 70-200mm lens. 

A Walk In The Mist

                   The trees along Cliff Drive are just starting to change. Above taken from Scarritt Point and below taken just a little east of the Point.

Spring Past, Just A Memory

Since Spring is so far a no show... here's a couple of images from the past - Cliff Drive. 

Going For Sharp

Decided to head to the river to use every technique I've learned to get sharp images.  Not that I don't normally.  Used focus stacking, polarizer, best aperture, tripod, etc. etc.  All ISO 64.  Boat just happened to come along in the above shot which was 14-24mm lens at F8.

Used focus stacking for the first time ever in this one... five shots with the point of focus moving into the image for each one.  Camera did that work, then the five were imported on layers into Photoshop and aligned and merged.  You can accomplish something similar by using F16 or higher... but you start getting image distortion...

Skyline In Winter

                      Two views of the city in winter...top from Kaw Point, bottom from Northeast.

Incongruity

                             From Quality Hill looking east.  Very few of the grand homes left.

One-Hundred Years Young

The Twelfth Street Viaduct was completed in 1915 thus increasing ready access to the West Bottoms.

Magnolias

 These blossoms are on the grounds of the Kansas City Museum on Gladstone Boulevard and in the                      
                                     yard of the 1902 Steven's House right across the street.

Monuments

Dedicated in 1877 Mount Saint Marys' Cemetery is the final resting place for many of Kansas City's founders.  St. Francis Regis was the first Catholic Church in Kansas City, located near where the present day Cathedral stands.  Those interned in it's graveyard were moved to MSM after it's dedicated.  The shot above I call Monuments as it incorporates man's tributes to both the quick and the dead. 

I want to thank Father Joseph Totton for telling me about this photo opportunity!!!!!
