Take those Shows Down off Your Shelfie #StreamTeam

What is on your Shelfe?

Apparently those shows that you have been waiting to binge watch on are called your Shelfie. You’ve put them up on a virtual shelf waiting for that day when you can dust them off and consume. I didn’t know what they were called. Now I know. It is a great topic for this month’s Stream Team Alert. The Stream Team Alert is a writing prompt for members of the Netflix Stream Team. It seems like each month the alert is perfectly timed for what is happening in my life. Last month with those fun kids shows and then this month with the Shelfies. The reason that this means something for me is the show Longmire.

Ever since the show Longmire debuted on A&E I wanted to watch it. But, with one thing or another happening I just never started. This month before I got my writing prompt I watched the first five episodes. I’m really enjoying it and am excited to learn that Netflix picked up the show and did a fourth season. The main reason that I wanted to watch the show was for Katee Sackoff. I binged on Battlestar Galactica a year ago and wanted to watch everything that she was a part of. So far the show is interesting, the characters are compelling and their appears to be an overarching mystery around Walt, our main character. I also like the performance given by Lou Diamond Phillips. Continue reading Take those Shows Down off Your Shelfie #StreamTeam

Super Blood Moon


Photo-A-Day #3824

Super Blood Moon

Tonight was a very rare event. A Super Blood Moon occurred plus a lunar eclipse. I took my break to go out and take a bunch of photos. I had a tough time getting the moon to be in focus. It was really high in the sky, much higher than the moon was last night. It also seemed to be moving pretty fast over the course of the hour. I was there for the whole full eclipse. The moon went to a really deep, dark red. I took as many as I could and adjusted the focus, the aperture, the amount of time it took for the shutter to release and more. I used the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus to use as a remote bluetooth shutter.

I would have liked to have gotten more time before and after the eclipse to do more shooting. I could have gotten a whole before and after series if I had more time.
