A little star trail I took out at Cana Island before I left for Alaska. One of my favorite places to shoot and for good reason. I will admit...it took me longer than it should have to get my Lume Panel to light this nice and evenly like this but it worked out pretty well in the end.
335 images.

I'm working with the Mississippi Valley Conservancy to try and record and showcase the dark skies around the Wildcat Mountain region in Wisconsin. They are trying to be recognized as a national dark sky region. If successful it would be only the second one in Wisconsin. They have worked pretty extensively in the area to identify areas with light pollution then tried to address it by changing lights out or finding ways to make it better. From the sounds of it they still want to do a few more things but as you can see it's already incredibly dark. I stacked 6 consecutive images to create this image.

I took this last year when I was at Little Sable Lighthouse. This night was so incredible I know I will never forget it. Shooting the milky way in one direction and comet NEOWISE in the other. I literally couldn't take pictures fast enough for everything. Such an incredible memorable night.
Sometimes I sit back and think of all pictures I've taken. All the amazing places I've seen and been too. All the amazing people I've met along the way. All the amazing experiences I've had. All the incredible opportunities. It's all so incredible and surreal. Such an joyful ride for sure. I can't wait to see where/what/who the future holds.
I lit this side of the lighthouse with a Lume Panel from Lume Cube, took the picture with Foolography's Unleashed and if you look veeeeery closely you can see my other camera and tripod on the beach running a timelapse of come NEOWISE that would be behind me. ;)

This was the second visit I had down to the covered bridge at the Kickapoo Valley Reserve. I shot towards the North with this one and after 550 images and about 2 hours and 40 minutes you get a beautiful star trail.

All the stars aligned (quite literally) for me on this one. I rarely get lucky enough to plan a trip somewhere and have something like THIS happen. It almost never fails to have clouds and rain! I haven't seen a good showing of the northern lights in quite a long time but my visit to the Alexian Brothers Novitiate definitely did NOT disappoint!! I wish I would have had my wider lens on but that one was running a timelapse. :) Although, with 24mm you get to see the big and little dipper in all their glory with the beautiful northern lights!!

Week 3: Red - CC welcomed!
I was very happy when I received my Lume Cubes, project that I backed 1.5 years ago, it came right on time for my idea; red acrylic paint dropped in a vase filled with water on a black backdrop and a Lume Cube lighting from above #Capture4Cubes #LumePic #litbylumecube #dogwood52 #dogwoodweek3
It took me 2 hours, 118 pictures. I was able to select my top 4 but I found this one looked like a sandstorm when I rotated it and it seems like there are creatures coming out of it. What do you see?
Everyone else sees the cold temperatures as misery. I see it as an opportunity to do something I love....and that's take pictures. As you know I love night photography...but I also love macro photography too. Can't wait to share a few more of these!!
I'm shooting this on my knees, on our picnic table, lit with one of my Lume Cubes, 3 degree f weather and snowing. I can't imagine what people driving by thought....LOL
I finally got my new computer and am able to do startrails again. And boy was it JUST in time! ;) This is 480 images over just under 2 hours of time stacked. While this was running we were on the other end of the building shooting the northern lights that so beautifully graced us with it's presence.
I was using a Lume Cube just inside to light up the inside and I had a Lume Cube sitting behind the camera. I'm happy to say I was also using my lens heater because there was so much dew running off from my lens and camera that it would of for sure been done for!!

I've never been out shooting the night sky with my dad but have always wanted to. So, on a whim I thought, what the hell, I'll shoot him a text at 10:30 at night....turns out he couldn't sleep and made the trip to a really fantastic location. 😉

This was a nice little recommendation I had from a friend. This little church is on the top of a hill in the middle of nowhere so light pollution was almost non existent. There is about an hour and forty five minutes of exposure time here with about 420 shots. I have a Lume Cube setup behind me camera right to help light almost the entire scene. A car passing by helped illuminate everything on the left. It was about 10 degrees f out but I have gotten some of my most favorite shots when it was nice and cold out. There will be a timelapse to follow some day.... ;)

Loooong post.....I've been wanting to take pictures up here for quite a while. It's a short(ish) 3ish hour drive north for me so it's not too terribly far. As always the weather has not been cooperative at all so the timing of this wasn't quite what I had been wanting. But as you can see it worked out anyway.
I took this picture under the highway that passes by the mill. While under the bridge I saw an Amish man and his son on the other side of the creek. I went to the top of the bridge and met him up on top. He told me that his name was Herman and that he owned the mill. He said that he had bought the mill a few years back and had been restoring it. He just finished restoring the dam and the paddle wheel. I told him I was there to take some pictures and loved the mill. He said he would give me a quick tour inside and turn the mill on for me if I would send him some pictures when I was done. So, of course I said absolutely.
After a brief tour he showed us some things inside the mill and explained some future plans of things that he would like to do. One of them being he wanted to start grinding flour with the mill and making goods for the local community. You could tell from his enthusiasm just how proud of the mill he is. Which, to be fair, I would be too. It's a pretty awesome little mill. I couldn't believe how nice it was for being built in 1864. With his renovations and love for the mill I can't wait to see what ultimately becomes of it.
For the shot I am using a two Lume Cubes to light the mill and waterfall and I'm using my UNLEASHED to trigger my camera and lots of patience. I arrived at about 7pm and the milky way didn't come into alignment with the mill like this until about 1:30am. It was well worth it though...

I managed to sneak in that one I posted yesterday, with them all nicely posed. Then one of them noticed the lens. Ahhh well.
While on my vacation I shot at the Bodie Island Lighthouse. This was most definitely some of the darkest skies I've ever shot the milky way in. I could see different colors in the milky way with my naked eyes. It was absolutely amazing. But, those very dark skies came with a minor cost....my blood....this is probably also the worst mosquitoes I have EVER seen in my life. I basically took a bath in Deep Woods OFF and they didn't even car. At one point I looked down and had 3 mosquitoes on my leg at one time. I will say that at this point it was well worth it....but if I die in the coming days from some mosquito carrying some sort of disease I would say it was still worth it...LOL
