I spent some time chasing the Milky Way… I worked from a horrible site due to light pollution, but was happy to get out and learn more about long(er) exposures of the stars.
Sun Chasing the Moon
Moon rising over a distant ridge with the Sun not far behind this morning…
Pine Cone
Wolfe’s Neck 2
A second panorama I shot at Wolfe’s Neck State Park, Maine. I have some stitching glitches to resolve in the water / reflections – going to be a bit of an education cloning and hand painting in PhotoShop.
Silver Surfer
Silver light, mist, the ocean, at Popham Beach State Park, Maine.
Wolfe’s Neck
Panorama at Wolfe’s Neck State Park, Maine as the tide creeps back in and the Earth rotates towards the Sun.
One of the more ambitious photo attempts to date: 117 image panorama, 3 bracketed shots each of the 39 camera positions, 3 rows – processed in LR and stitch in PTGui Pro.
Portrait under the Moon and Stars
Popham Beach, Maine – early morning before a work site visit. The moon and stars and the ocean.
The Library
I stayed with friends in the Berkshires and had the pleasure of staying in the guest house they rent out for vacations. This is the ‘library’ – a hand crafted cruck timber frame. I took two sets of pano images while sipping cider before tucking in for the night – the static image below was shot from the doorway to the room, and this spherical panorama was shot from the center.
I wish I had noticed the chairs weren’t equidistant from the doorway before packing everything up. It bugs me – but I’ll slow down next time and do a better survey of the scene before I start.
Try, Fail, Learn, Repeat.
Milky Way – Silver Lake
1:30am alarm, car at 2, hiked into Silver Lake in the Green Mountain National Forest. The sky changes so quickly as dawn approaches – first shot in this series at 4:13am, last shot at 4:50am.
