Milky Way–8-4-2019

When I come home, clear nights are for going out and checking out the lovely light show that is our universe.

I did drag my wife with me for some of it and she sat in the car. Smile – but she came!

I did a lot of fiddling with lights and exposure and trying to get more than trees as my foreground. I think some worked, some didn’t, but its all a learning process!

I am super happy with some of them. Some I wish they’d turned out better, but its all in the fun of it and the adventure!

Being home means dark nights and not having to go to far for milkyway pics. I wanted to head up to the mountain overlook, 1 – I don’t have an ATV anymore and 2 – the milkyway would have been out of sight from that vantage point.

See those bright yellow streaks? Those are fireflies! Yes I got photobombed by fireflies. Which was, sort of cool!

A lot of shooting stars this time around, as well as the “red” streaks which I suspect are satellites. It was also hellva windy which made the trees move. I went back and forth between 20, 25 and 30 second shots.

Jupiter was also out and about last night. These were all taken within less than a mile from home.

I then plopped myself in a potato field and took the last batch of pics. I was getting slightly tired and cold! But a great night over all, fireflies and all!

Thrifting and Night Shoot 6-22-2019

My sister in law, Vic, loves old stuff! and I love going out and looking for it…..

I hit up several places, talked to some people, and found a lot of what she was looking for!

Often she has to send me examples of what she is looking for because I have no clue Smile

I then took a nap (I know right!) and headed out to chase the millkyway. It was super elusive this time around! That’s okay I got the crab nebula in a few photos and then the moon rose and washed it all out!
