Star Trails – Dark
Second edit of my recent star trails image pulling out the lightest of the frames as the sky changed to twilight. Processing this in Photoshop I am using layers and the lighten blending – so the blue hour version drops quite a few stars as the sky brightens and the software stacks the images to create the composite. I like both versions – the darker for the sheer number of stars that have been captured and the lighter version for the play of the lightening sky against the structure of the bridge.

Spruce Mountain Fire Tower
3am alarm. Hiking by 4:30am. Startled a moose midway up the trail. Arrived at the end of blue hour, climbed the tower in the wind and was not disappointed. I was a bit unnerved swaying in howling wind, and while I took many many images I lost my composure and did not image as well as I intended.
