Winter Sky, North Light

I’ve been continuing to play with long exposures on the Burlington, VT waterfront. Amazed, always at the changes in light and atmosphere over Lake Champlain and the Adirondacks.

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.
