250 photos merged into one image using the lighten layer-blending mode in photoshop. The title is a quote I've heard a few times, I just changed the last word so it related to the photo a little better. I swapped the word god for Ra (the ancient Egyptian solar deity) since all the paths are leading towards the sun. For a little story behind the photo check out the description on the HDR version... www.flickr.com/photos/matt_molloy/9162106312/

Iridium flares (trails in the sky made by satellites reflecting sunlight back to Earth) go against the grain of star trials over Cranberry Lake.
I made this time stack by combining 142 photos into one image.
By the time the rain stopped this thunderstorm had traveled much further than I expected, but I managed to catch some lightning bolts before it was completely out of sight.
I wonder why the closest lightning bolt is so purple compared to the others, would the clouds have something to do with it. (since it's mostly hidden behind them)

Once the rain died down I managed to catch the end of a very active storm passing over Seeleys Bay. I made this image by combining 8 different photos.
It was cold while I was shooting this timelapse, so I pulled my car up next to my camera and sat in there to keep warm. After about 10 minutes I looked back to check that my camera was still shooting. It wasn't even there! For some reason, my first thought was, did someone sneak up behind me and steal my camera? No, I found it on the ground, knocked over by the wind I'd guess, since all the tripod legs were still fully extended.
To my amazement, the camera still worked, but the body was cracked open, and it didn't look good. The worst part is that I pretty much just bought it, and even though it's still under warranty, it doesn't cover careless stupidity.
I am the worst when it comes to cameras, I try to be careful, but they've been dropped, stolen, left in all kinds of weather they shouldn't be in, worn out shutters from over use, you name it! I try to be careful, but it seems I'm not careful enough.
I made this time stack from 183 photos, and as usual, used this script to automate the stacking process, advancedstacker.com.
Fun fact: The title is the name of a song by the Fembots. I think it sets the mood for how I felt on the ride home from here. I was going to post a youtube link, but I can't find the song on there for some reason.

Technically it wasn't quite Autumn near the beginning of September, but some of the trees would disagree, already in full colour. (like the little red maple tree on the right)
There's also an "optical illusion" going on. Since I shot this timelapse during sunset and looking to the east, the low angle of the sun was casting a very yellow light, making the trees seem like they are further along in the colour changing process than they really were. However, I think the drought of the summer also made it seem like Autumn was coming early. (if you were judging solely on the appearance of the trees)

This is a cool spot near my house. It's a low point in the hills which once grew trees (now they're dead and loosing their branches) but more recently it's turned into marsh land, and is now covered in cattails.

Not too far from Khao San road (the over crowded tourist spot in Bangkok) is the Democracy Monument, commissioned in 1939 to commemorate the Siamese Revolution of 1932, which led to the establishment of a constitutional monarchy in what was then the Kingdom of Siam.
I was just trying to get away from Khao San road to get a taxi back home (if you try to get a taxi in the imediate area, they will almost always overcharge you, and they'll usually refuse to use the meter, which is how you get a fair price with taxis in Bangkok)
I saw the monument, and decided to do a quick timelapse of it, and the traffic circle before calling it a night.
I made this time stack by combining 191 photos into one image. Here's a quick and easy Photoshop tutorial of the process I used. youtu.be/oTfp47jTzWc
Ever since I got my Brompton bike, I have more freedom to bike to places that I would never think of. In combination with driving, I can always park somewhere and go to some secret places with my bike.
The past few months I really went to many different places in Vancouver. Some places that I would never think of. I got to give some credits to my friends who always call me up for biking.
I will be off to Hong Kong and Taipei this Thursday (for three weeks vacation). Stay tune for more photos. Cheers!

I had seen these crab cages all over the east coast, but I didn't get a shot of them until I found these by surprise. (see the story in the description of the last photo) This is 290 photos merged into one image using the lighten layer-blending mode in photoshop, automated with this script advancedstacker.com
Unsuccessful Fotostacking effort, too much wind and rain, not enough good light. well will keep trying. Pentax K1MkII with a Pentax 100mm f2.8 macro lens
442 photos merged into one image using the lighten layer-blending mode in photoshop. There was aurora in the forecast this night, but I didn't see any and my camera didn't either. My boots were filled with snow after walking into this field to set up the timelapse. A little unpleasant, but it's a small price to pay for a decent timelapse.
Give me just one moment.
Through the eyes of the one in,
A picture perfect moment.
In the life of the one who is,
Something better, more than,
Anything I will ever be.
Give me just one second,
Just to touch what I'll never own.
Let me count those feelings,
Of love that I will never share.
Show me your compassion,
In the dark of this world.
I would give it all.
For one taste of it.

A small storm cell passes in the distance as it slowly changes colour during the sunset.

Not my favorite time stack, but interesting none the less. This Spring has brought more water than we usually get. It was neat to see the water swirling around in this pond. 337 photos merged into one image using this photoshop script. advancedstackerplus.com
This is an image of the Bluetooth & alarm symbol on my Galaxy S7 edge phone, using a reversed Nikkor 28mm f2.8 Ai lens. (please ignore EXIF data, I forgot to set the lens data in camera!) HMM
I had a goodie arrive in the post courtesy of eBay this week and I was desperate to try it out - a Componon 35mm f/4 enlarger lens. This covers the gap I had between a 28 Componon and an el Nikkor 50 beautifully and well I' very happy with it. I like doing moths and this lens should be the right mm for that. If you ever get into using reversed enlarging lenses, the lenses to look for are 6 element lenses, they can be had relatively cheaply nowadays with the declining use of enlargers and the results can be really nice.
I did a blue background for 2 reasons one of which was that a very nice fellow goin_bald kindly suggested it as an alternative on my last shot., I'm glad I listened. Also, I wanted something to show off the orange beard and blue and orange can sometimes be quite striking together. Another option I'd like to try on another similar fly would be gray - which bizarrely comes from looking at the kindle for iPad colour scheme. The orange certainly stands out - grey might be too flat though. Decisions decisions. hm.
I would have liked to have done a different insect but unfortunately I'm much better at photography than I am at entomology. Learning what's where, when and what's pretty is something that's going to take me a little longer - feel more than welcome to comment with links to decent books or websites. Help appreciated =).
