Tornado Skies

Yesterday there were two strong storms that came right through Findlay. Luckily I was out in time to get some shots. I actually went out to search for a tornado, but there were not any that formed. It’s rare to see tornadoes in Findlay.

The skies out by the airport in Findlay.

Marathon Building, downtown Findlay.

Cody, who got hit a few times in the head by hail. The hail reached up to golf ball sized in yesterday’s storm.

Warm Days

Sunday and Monday were great days for me. I got some skating in, rollerblading and long boarding. Also I got some good shots. I heard it got in the 80′s, however I am not sure what the temperature was. But it has been the warmest day of the new year so far! Examine below.

Here, Daniel Delacruz is sliding on his long board and then almost crashes into me. The third shot is blurred because I had to jump up as I was taking the photograph to get out of Dan’s way.

Below I have some of the scenery photographed.

A young Findlay woman was killed last Sunday on the railroad tracks pictured below. There were two people charged. You can read about the story at the link below.

I shot this photograph recently before the incident happened there. We don’t get too many crimes like that here in Findlay, so I feel that many people in town have been moved by this.

Super Moon 19th March

The moon was the closest to the Earth that it had been since 19th January this past Saturday, 19th March 2011. The moon was quite large while it was close to the horizon. I happened to be in a great location at the time.

Went out today with my friend Andy Schock. It was a beautiful day, until the storm clouds started to come in. Even yet it was still a great day!

That’s Andy leaning on the car, probably posing.

Mechanism of the Eye

The human eye is essentially a camera. The iris seems to work to control the size of the pupil, just like an auto exposure camera. Look at the photographs below.

This is my neighbor Cody and this is his eye.

Here the pupil is a bit larger and the iris(which looks like a landscape) has a formation.

Now the strands in the iris seem to have change around a bit and the pupil has become smaller.

Findlay Flood 2011

Danny Gantchev — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 23:45:53 +0000

At the beginning of March, Findlay, Ohio flooded once again due to melting snow and rain fall. Findlay has flooded the past few years several times over. This time the flood did not get as bad as the 2007 August flood. Here are some of the digital shots I took. Also waiting is black and white film which I shot a majority of the flood with. Those are coming up once I get a new scanner.
