I had 45 minutes before I headed over to Storm's daycare to actually go out and get some photography done. So I thought at first that I would head over to Green Timbers, my usual haunt, but the traffic was horrendous leading over to that park, so I made a split-second decision to go up to Hawthorne Park instead. I took my D300s/50mm f/1.8 D lens and a Hoya polarizing filter with a 52mm to 62mm step-up ring so that I could use my 62mm Hoya polarizing filter on my 50mm f/1.8 D lens. I've often loved the Hoya filters because they give you a deep rich blue as opposed to the 67mm Tiffen which gives a greenish cast to the sky that is harder to get out than the Hoya filter tint.

This creature was in my driveway. The last time she nearly got catapulted to the roof thanks to her attaching her web to the rear fender of my car. Not a wise choice when I have to pull out of the driveway.








What I need to do is to get some graduated neutral density filters.
