I've photographed thins barn more than a few times. I'm sure I've uploaded a very similar shot to this, but I like the foreground lighting in this one. This was made from 237 photos.
This night was fairly foggy, so I made the most of it by doing some light painting.
There were no lasers involved in this shot, just a passing car and a bright LED light. (I did not shine the light at the car, as this was made from 2 shots)
Check out my instagram to see the video I made from this night. It's @mattmolloyphoto
(maybe I'll post it here too, after I get through the photos)
305 photos representing 2 hours and 45 minutes of real time in one image. I just read that there is nothing to stop earth from spinning, so it could potentially spin forever. Perpetual motion? Possibly, but somehow I doubt it. I think the universe will out live earth because the sun will devour our planet someday, (don't worry, it won't happen anytime soon) and that is just a mere "drop in the ocean" of this too-big-to-imagine thing we call the universe. Life is beautifully ridiculous, and that is why I love it!

Timelapse of the sunset over Little Cranberry Lake, shot from Haskins Point in Seeleys bay.
I made this time stack by combining 220 with the mean stack mode in photoshop. Here's a quick and easy Photoshop tutorial of the process I use. youtu.be/oTfp47jTzWc
Strong winds pick up snow from the lake in strange pillars that sometimes spin like dust devils.

Read this!!!
The blister beetles exude cantharidin, which is a blistering agent used to impress a female of their own species who then mates with them, whereupon most of the cantharidin is transfered to the female in the form of a sperm packet. The eggs the female subsequently lays are coated with cantharidin to protect them from being eaten before they hatch.
Cantharidin is used by humans to manufacture the notorious date rape drug, Spanish Fly…”
Spanish Fly is an aphrodisiac that you've probably heard of from frat house sex comedies of the 1980s. Supposedly it could be slipped into a drink to make ladies hot. It turns out it is not just a legend. This aphrodisiac does exist, but it only makes gentlemen (physically) hot. And it would also probably kill them.
The weirdest thing about spanish fly is that it actually exists. Even the name isn't entirely wrong, since it comes from a group of insects whose most well-known subspecies is called spanish flies. More generally they're called meloid beetles, or blister beetles. Wherever they are found they're used, occasionally, as aphrodisiacs. The key element to them is a chemical called cantharidin.
Cantharidin makes spanish fly metaphorically apt as an aphrodisiac, as well as practically possible. Cantharidin is why meloid beetles are also called blister beetles. It can blister skin, and is a harsh poison if ingested.

The star trails appear to be in front of the clouds in this time stack, but I assure you that is not the case. I made this image by combining 139 photos with this script for photoshop, advancedstacker.com I also faded in the first and last 19 photos using 5% increments of the layer opacity.
It was nice to watch this giant formation of Cumulus congestus clouds rising and falling in different areas as the whole mass slowly floated away, towards the horizon of Cranberry Lake.

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas, with joy and peace!
Captured using 8 Stacked photos of my Christmas lighthouse. Santa gave me a new lens for Christmas so I had to try it out 😊.
Looks better in Large. Hit F11 and then the "L" key or click on

Made from 498 photos. I took out most of the moon trail, replacing it with a stack of 10 photos or so when a moon halo briefly appeared.
I was happy to find this scene at the top of a small hill while driving through the countryside. The land is mostly flat in this area, so I usually frame my photos with a lot of sky, but this time the foreground was interesting enough to give it some more real estate. When shooting fields I often go right up to the fence to shoot over it, but I thought this one was interesting, with it's rusted wire and weathered wood, nature starting to take over, and of course the bird house, which seemed to be as old as the fence.
The sunset started with a small patch of clouds in the distance catching the yellow light, which turned to orange and then pink as they moved toward me.

I caught 15 Perseid meteors during this 4 hour timelapse, along with a few planes, and a bunch of stars.
Here's a version without the star trails, where you can see the meteors much better. www.flickr.com/photos/matt_molloy/28920591315/
483 photos merged into one image using the lighten layer-blending mode in photoshop. A little messy, but fun none the less.
I drove around for quite some time looking for a good spot to shoot the sunset. I had to settle with this scene, as I was getting low on gas. I passed a few places with a great view, but I would have had to set up on private property. I didn't want to bother anyone during dinner time to ask for permission, and on top of that, I wasn't sure who to ask either. I wish I could just take photos wherever I want to, I think it would make my photos and timelapses a lot more interesting.
The stars appear to spin around the north star (Polaris) as Earth slowly rotates. Check out the gif I made from this timelapse. matt-molloy.tumblr.com/post/107065313865/the-stars-appear...

A familiar scene under an ever changing sky. This is one of the many timelapses I've shot from my backyard overlooking Lake Ontario.

Anytime I look at the stars, I can't help but wonder how many planets are circling them, and what might be living on some of those planets. I also wonder if they'll have the technology to answer those questions before my time is up on this crazy rock. I hope so!

My first attempt to use focus stacking for a macro, or anything for that matter. This is 12 images stacked using Photoshop.
Ever since I saw this farm with it's lovey striped field, I've been hoping to catch a nice sunset over it. On this evening it was looking like it was going to be a good sunset, but the best part was mostly hidden from view by low flying clouds. (that's why there's breaks in the paths of the clouds) not long after I shot this timelapse, I was a little sad to see the field was all dug up so they could install pipes for irrigation. Hopefully the stripes will be back next year, along with a good sunset.

Only a few clouds lit up with colour during this sunset. The sun made a brief appearance before moving past the horizon and the clouds on the right that did catch some colour making the two look a bit like a comet with a long tail.

Since I was exposing more for the milky way in this timelapse, the star trails are a little on the bright side.
Once again, here's a quick version of the timelapse in gif form. matt-molloy.tumblr.com/post/107369798210/5-hours-of-the-m...

This is a time stack that I made by combining 44 photos into one image. I usually use the lighten layer-blending mode when combining photos, but this time I used the darken layer blending-mode because it worked out better with what I had to work with.
The tree was blowing in the wind while I was shooting the timelapse, and you can see that the thicker branches moved the least and the leaves moved the most, blurring out the details and reducing them to patches of colour.
It turned out a lot like a painting, and as usual with time stacks, in the impressionistic style.

282 photos merged into one image using the lighten layer-blending mode in photoshop. I don't think either of these tracks are used anymore, judging by their condition. The one on the left goes to the cement plant. When I took a tour of the cement plant a little while ago, they said they haven't used the tracks in a long time. I'm not sure where the tracks on the right go to, but it looks like they might be fixing them, or maybe they just left one of their tools there and forgot about it. The main line is just off the right side of the frame. It's used all the time. As far as I know, this is the only line connecting Toronto and Ottawa.
