Snow Globe

Accidental snow globe, I was walking at Shelburne Farms on Christmas Eve and after snapping a paborana image saw the wagon and horses on the road – I hurried down the hill and did not re-set the camera from manual focus to auto-focus.

Its a happy accident though, and the image is growing on me.

Bolton Potholes, Ice

A quick stop at the Bolton Potholes, and an afternoon of fail. I took a series of images from the lower falls, standing in the freezing mist, on the icy rocks (wearing micro spikes) – and I missed focus – I didn’t see it until I was assembling the images at home. This image is from above the falls – and the only consolation for the day.

The Pleiades and Comet 46P/Wirtanen

A misty. icy, cold night – I set out to create a night sky panorama from Orion to the Pleiades – planning to catch comet 46P/Wirtanen in the process. That changed when clouds moved in – so I focused on capturing a set of images to stack for the Pleiades and 46P. Not the cleanest image, nor the most detailed, but enough to inspire me to try again.
