A nice sunset over Little Cranberry Lake, which was calmer than usual, providing some good reflections of the colourful clouds.

The North star, sitting much lower in the sky than I'm used to. I was a little confused when trying to get my bearings, as the big dipper was hidden, at least partially out of view. (I often use the big dipper to find the north star) Seeing this timelapse as a time stack helps give me a better perspective of what I was seeing at the time. (I need to learn more constellations!)
I made this time stack by combining 153 photos into one image.
424 photos merged into one image using the lighten layer-blending mode in photoshop, automated with this script, advancedstacker.com.
I ran the first 140 photos through the "ultra streaks" script for a smoother "fade in" and the rest were run through the "lighten" script.
I caught 56 Perseid meteors on August 13th. 18 more than my previous record which happened the night before this.
I jumped into frame after starting the timelapse, hoping to shine my flashlight towards the radiant (the point in the sky that the meteors appear to come from) I didn't get the beam of light perfectly straight, but the alignment was pretty close.
169 photos, the first and last 19 photos were feathered in/out with 5% increments of the layer opacity.
Here's a gif I made from the timelapse. matt-molloy.tumblr.com/post/105137905980/a-timelapse-of-r...
I went back to the big spiral I had made during the day to try some light painting.
Being on the ice in the dark, quiet of night is much scarier than during the day. You can hear every crack, pop, and moan of the ice, and even though I knew the ice was plenty thick to hold my weight (it could surely hold a car by this time) there were times when I felt like it was paper thin, and the wrong move would send me plummeting to my icy death. This didn't help when trying to make the spiral as level and even as I could, but I think I did alright. I find it strange and interesting how our fears can override the logical part of our brain, persuading us to believe something that's obviously not real.
Not my favorite time stack, but interesting none the less. I masked out some of the trees because the wind made a mess of them. This is 341 photos merged into one image using the lighten layer-blending mode in photoshop. I used this script to automate the process. advancedstacker.com My computer never would have been able to process it otherwise, as it runs out of memory somewhere around 120 photos. I could have done it by hand, one photo at a time, but I'm glad I didn't!
502 photos merged into one image using the lighten layer-blending mode in photoshop, the process was automated with advancedstackerplus.com.
A collaboration between Nature and The Universe. Nature, a very talented artist from Earth, has a wide ranging style with a few underlying themes found in every piece, and The Universe, is possibly the best artist ever known. It is thought by some that The Universe actually created nature from pieces of itself, but that is hard to say for mere creatures that were created by Nature. (While were on the topic, I've always wondered why Nature didn't put any muscle, fat, or some kind of protective padding on the shins of us feeble creatures, but the language Natures uses to communicate seems cryptic at best, so I may never find out)
As usual, The Universe did the background for this piece, because that's what The Universe does best, and Nature can't reach that high anyway. I like how The Universe decided to go with clean lines, starting with circles on the left and slowly straightening the lines as they swoop to the right.
Sticking with the asymmetrical theme that The Universe started, Nature did a lot of intricate squiggly lines and made them a little more random on the left side for a nice helping of unbalance, because perfect balance can seem stale and uninteresting.
The piece was looking great, and just when I thought they were finished, nature pulled out the paint brush and made some juxtaposing lines in the sky, perpendicular to the lines that The Universes made, and they were thick, fluffy, and a different colour to help them stand out and accentuate the beauty of a little bit of chaos in an otherwise balanced system.
"we shall by morning inherit the earth" (Sylvia Plath, Mushrooms allpoetry.com/poem/8498359-Mushrooms-by-Sylvia-Plath)
I almost missed a cluster of these tiny mushrooms sprouting on a rotting stump. They were so tiny, and blended into the background. This is from a focus stack of five images, taken handheld at Hillkeep Place Regional Park, Chilliwack, BC
This tiny insect was about 1 cm long and on the side of my white-colored car. I grabbed my Tokina macro lens and took several handheld shots at different depths of focus to hopefully create a photo stack of the moth from a frontal view. I wish I had time to get my tripod, but I didn't have time as this guy wasn't going to stick around long.
First time trying star trails, the moon was bright just up to the left so did reduce the stars i could capture, This is 96 images stacked in Photoshop with aircraft lights removed. Light pollution from Louth just in the bottom of the image.
This might be the most photos I've ever stacked into one image. (I've only done a few time stacks that are over 1000 photos) This was made using 1489 photos!
The night was mostly cloudy until the end of the timelapse where the sky completely cleared up. That's where most of the star trails came from, aside from a few breaks in the clouds here and there.
As usual, I used the scripts from advancedstacker.com to automate the stacking, and faded in the first and last 19 photos "manually" using 5% increments of the layer opacity.
This wasn't a very vibrant sunset, but the lake was nice and calm, producing a nice reflection.
I made this time stack by combining 292 photos into one image.
Escobaria vivipara is a Colorado native cactus. Flowers are only open for a few hours per day.

177 photos merged into one image using the lighten layer-blending mode in photoshop. I pass this field most days but I can only remember photographing it once before this. The first time was just a few photos, but this time I stuck around for a timelapse while the sun set.
Finally! This is the last photo I have to upload from 2014. I'm really excited to share some of the fun stuff I've done this year!
This is a time stack made from 191, the first 19 photos were faded in using 5% increments of the layer opacity.
As always, I used this script to automate the stacking in photoshop. advancedstacker.com
483 photos merged into one image using the lighten layer-blending mode in photoshop, automated with this script advancedstacker.com. I stacked the first 187 photos using the ultra streaks preset, which is why the moon trail seems to fade in above the horizon.
It was pretty cloudy and I wasn't sure if there would be a good sunset or not while setting up my camera on a bridge crossing this small river in Tera Nova National Park, Newfoundland. I was happy to see some colour when a few breaks in the clouds let the red/orange light through. The clouds were moving really quick, which is why you can see the repetitious patterns in them, even at 4 second intervals. I would have done shorter intervals, but my camera can't keep up while shooting RAW at the largest size possible.

A clear, calm night in my backyard.
I've shot this scene so many times that I'm getting a little bored with it, but at the same time I'd never get sick of it. That's one of the many reasons I'm going to miss this place. We have finally sold the house and will be moving at the end of the month. The new place doesn't have a nice view like this one, but it's cottage country, so there's tons of cool places that are close by. I can't wait to start exploring after we get settled in.
I made this image using 219 photos.
In the winter of 2014-2015 the great lakes were "frosty" to put it lightly. "The maximum ice coverage on the Great Lakes of 86.2% was reached in the fourth week of February, which represents the fifth highest value in recorded history."
I shot this timelapse almost two months before the cold snap, during a warm spell in the beginning of January.

Here's one of my favorite time stacks from this summer (at least so far, I know I've got a few more that are on par)
I'm glad I started shooting a little earlier than usual, because it didn't last too long (30 minutes total) and catching the low light on the field made the foreground all the more interesting.
I made this time stack by combining 307 photos into one image.
Here's version 2 of this time stack, this time only using the photos from the second sunset. (the previous photo has my explanation of what the second sunset is)
I should also mention that this is a great "trick" to get the best results out of a time stack image. I usually start by stacking all of the photos from the timelapse, and then start taking some out to see if I get better results. As you can see here, you can get very different results by stacking different sections of a timelapse. (most of what you see in this image was overpowered by the brighter frames from the start of the timelapse in the previous image I posted, so all of that information is lost)

272 photos merged into one image using the lighten layer-blending mode in photoshop. Lots of little clouds passing by as the sun sets. Possibly ten thousand, maybe more, maybe less. I didn't bother to count. I just sat and admired the show.
One of the many great sunsets over Lake Ontario, shot from my back yard.

Most times I'm not a fan of airplane trails in my star trail images, but this time I think it worked out well.
After setting up the timelapse, I drove past my camera and down the road, which created the light trails along the road. Later that night an airplane flew overhead, and in this time stack image, it appears to cross my path.

As the Milky way paints the western sky, the moon rises in the east illuminating the foreground. This is 372 photos combined into one image.
First go a star trails outside mums house, had some clouds passing middle shots. 4mins x 10, f5.6, 18mm
A sky full of clouds and a good breeze give this time-stack a nice impressionistic feel.
