The BEST EVER Split Pea Soup!
It's been SO cold lately—we're talking Jack Nicholson from the end of The Shining sort of cold—across much of the United States. I have been FREEZING. I think that the past four years spent in Southern Arizona where winter weather means you get to enjoy outdoor activities and Christmas Dinner is eaten outside on the patio has completely spoiled me. What the HECK is 4 degrees that feels like -1 degree? White fluffy frozen water that falls from the sky—what's that? School delays... they do that here? Definitely spoiled!

Shooting the MoonTop Story - January 2018
Shooting the moon is a really great way for the beginning photographer to practice exposure and really gain a full understanding of how the exposure triangle (aperture, shutter speed, ISO) all works together. So, pull out your DSLR tonight and follow this quick, easy-to-understand guide to get an amazing moon photograph regardless of your camera make/model or the lens you have available! When you're thinking about photographing the moon, the first things you should be concerned with are the same as when you are shooting any other subject — the sharpness of the moon (your subject) in your final image, and properly exposing the moon (your subject) so that it doesn't just look like a giant white ball. If you take a test picture with your camera in auto mode you'll see what I mean — because auto mode is exposing for the entire scene you're photographing, the moon will be a bright white ball in the resulting image. You have to use manual mode to photograph the moon and tell your camera how to properly expose for its light so you can see all the amazing detail; this is the power of manual mode!
