The sun unleashed a huge flare on July 12, 2012, the second major solar storm to erupt from our star in less than a week. The solar flare peaked at 12:52 p.m. EDT (1652 GMT) as an X-class sun storm, the most powerful type of flare the sun can have. According to NASA and the Space Weather Prediction Center (SPWC), that sun storm registered as an X1.4-class solar flare. It was more powerful than the X1.1 flare that erupted on July 6 from another giant sunspot known as AR1515, making that latest tempest the strongest solar storm of the summer so far. After reading reports from various news stations on July 12th, I knew there was going to be a strong chance of capturing the aurora over Central Oregon. Almost…

The Sony a7R Mark III is like an old friend that you’ve not seen for a while. As time goes by, you might lose touch but then one day, out of the blue, your friend calls and asks if you’d like to meet up. Of course you would! So you decide to go out for lunch. When you arrive at the café and see your friend, they look great, yet just a bit different - and in this case, a bit better. Maybe they’ve started running and have lost a few pounds, or they might have dumped that loser who was holding them back, and now they have a new spring in their step. Whatever your friend did, it’s apparently working, because now they seem even better than you remembered,…
