Even $5 ones like mine. I stil recommend Tiffen, Hoya, or B&W, because Rocketfish $5 polarizers are horrifying in bright light and reduce information in your photos. But they're still cool and work well enough for shots like these.
I'm really loving this photo. I took many photos like this one of an aircraft on departure. If you look closely you can see the jetwash distorting the cloud and making it look like it's being dragged.

Fall sunshine through the Maple tree in out front yard in full Autumn color. Photo was taken with my ND filter on to help create the vibrant colors as well as a Rocketfish 8 Point Star filter that created the star effect on the sun shining through the leaves.
Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D5200 and combined with Photomatix to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

I got an incredible opportunity to go with an OA to do taxi way and runway inspections at Sky Harbor. As we went through, we passed by the 161st Air Refueling Wing's KC-135R's and since there were no aircraft on that taxi way he stopped and allowed me to get out and take a couple of pictures of this magnificent looking aircraft!

Out and about looking for a photograph and found this display of a beautiful Christmas Tree, wreaths, and some candy canes all set-up around an old wagon. I snapped a quick picture and drove on...when I got home and was looking through them, I really focused on the tree and couldn't stop thinking about the song that inspired the title of this photo.
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
Thy candles shine out brightly!
Each bough doth hold its tiny light,
That makes each toy to sparkle bright.
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
Thy candles shine out brightly!

The week in Canada was well spent, planning on return - Trudeau Airport - Montreal, Quebec ---- Nikkor 50mm 1.1:8
Our 'Blue' Christmas Tree in front of the Putnam County Courthouse in Cookeville, TN taken at approximately 6pm. I used my Rocketfish 8-point Star filter to create the star or sparkle effects on the major light sources in the photo. Due to the slow shutter speed, the flags are somewhat blurred but since the photo was meant to be of the Christmas Tree with the courthouse in the background, not too distracting. I must also point out that our courthouse has the phrase "In God We Trust", as you can see here, on each side. This was accomplished by a unanimous vote by our city council and a quick installation just a couple of weeks later.

The technical title of this old painting is "Still Life Without Pear". This arrangement was photographed and included a pear. But I could never reconcile my concept of what a pear should look like with what I saw. So I painted over it!

I think I've pretty much reached the limit to how much reflection can be taken care of with a CPL for a single exposure with this pic. No strobe, no diffusers or reflectors artificial lighting for this scene since this was just at a Cars & Coffee event.
This is the Ramsaur Family Christmas Tree...complete with lights, ribbons, and many ornaments that bring back many memories of the last 20 years. There are handmade ornaments that each kid made over the years, special ornaments that were bought because they fit the personality or interest of someone, or ornaments that were gifts from other family members or friends. In addition to the REAL reason for Christmas, I believe that memories are the second most important part of this season!!

A 5 second long exposure of a Southwest Airlines 737 taxiing out for departure. I've been wanting to play with my 8 point star filter for a while now so I took the chance on this night to use it. I really like the illusion of there being multiple landing gear wheels due to the strobe light going off underneath the aircraft.

The Bemis Auditorium, constructed in 1922 from the designs of Massachusetts-based architect Andrew Hepburn, was to be the focal point of cultural life in the unincorporated model "company town" of Bemis, Tennessee, now a part of Jackson. The Auditorium Building is an elegant, sophisticated example of Beaux Arts design, and the circumstances surrounding its construction are equally impressive. While the Auditorium alone would be an extraordinary building in any small town, it is only one element of the nationally significant collection of resources nominated to the National Register of Historic Places in 1991 as the Bemis Historic District.
The original elements of the Auditorium Building exhibit consistently high quality and reflect the remarkable commitment of the Bemis Brothers Bag Company and its president, Albert Farwell Bemis, in the creation of a model industrial community. The construction of the Auditorium in 1922 was part of the third building phase for the community; initial construction of the community began in 1900. In association with Arthur Shurcliff, a noted landscape designer, Hepburn designed a complex of three buildings, surrounding a small grassy "Common," which was intended to become the new administrative, social and cultural center of the Bemis community. Of these four elements of this City Beautiful-style town plan, three were built: the Auditorium, the Common, located across Missouri Street to the west of the Auditorium, and the Bemis Brothers Mill Administration Building to the south. The fourth element, the Bemis Hotel, was never constructed, and its site remains vacant to this day.
Upon its completion in 1922, the Bemis Auditorium immediately became the cultural center of the community that it was intended to be, serving as a movie house, a stage for skits and community theater productions, and the setting for every high school graduation ceremony for the next fifty years. It was here that the milestones of the citizens of the Bemis community were noted and celebrated. For example, the citizens of Bemis gathered at the Auditorium in 1950 to celebrate the first half-century of their community; a part of this celebration included the opportunity for the residents to watch themselves on the Auditorium's big screen as the "stars" of an in-house company film on the celebration.
Soon after it was incorporated, the Bemis Historical Society had an opportunity to acquire the building and grounds of the Bemis Auditorium. Following negotiations with the former owner, a warranty deed for the property was issued on March 19, 1999 (Deed Book 453, page 122), which passed fee simple ownership of the property to BHS on the date of recording of March 22, 1999.
Since that time the Society has worked actively to develop a plan for the restoration and development of the Auditorium as a Museum. The Society retained the services of Hopkins & Associates of Memphis, Tennessee, to assist with an analysis for the restoration of the building and its development for future service as a museum dedicated to the history of Bemis.
This photo of the Bemis Museum was taken at night to show off the new lights recently added to the exterior of the building.

This photo isn't really "interesting," until you know what it is. This is a star (our sun) being viewed from a planet (Earth) seen with another planet (Venus) in front of it. This is a very rare phenomenon.
Turns out, the EF 75-300mm lens can stop down to f/45, which is supremely useful for shots of the sun. This time around, I got color!
Compare this with my previous photo, Ingress Interior, to see how far Venus progresses across the Sun in 90 minutes.
And to any experts out there- are those other specks sunspots? They're in all of the photos I took, in the same spot, so I'm sure they're not dust on my lens.

The Cookeville Christmas Parade was led by a few of our finest motorcycle patrol officers with all lights on full.
Under normal circumstances, I would not have photographed the police motorcycles leading the parade...but, since I had just purchased a new Rocketfish 8-point Star filter for my lens, it was an obvious choice.

A spectacular suprise at Sky Harbor International! For those who don't live near or have ever been to Sky Harbor- we only get one British Airways flight a day and one 747 a day as well (unless one makes a suprise visit). Well the previous days flight from London-Heathrow was delayed so it wasn't scheduled to depart until after 5. And the regular flight from London was scheduled to arrive at after 5 aswell. So luckily I was there to catch this rare view at PHX.
