Star Trail Photography

This is probably my favorite photo of the week. It is the combined photograph I mention in my Milky Way post Monday. On this type of setup I ran my camera with my cable release for about an hour then stitched the photographs together using Photoshop. It is a bunch of photographs but I enjoy … Continue reading Star Trail Photography

Watching The Sunrise (surprise!)

On Friday morning I like to go out to Lake Monticello to walk and take photographs. This past Friday was overcast so I did not even get my camera out but just walked close the truck in case it rained. As I walked I saw some light on the Eastern horizon and thought it might … Continue reading Watching The Sunrise (surprise!)

Long Exposure Photography With Moon Light

A few mornings ago I went for some more long exposure photography with a decent amount of moonlight over me. This was at Lake Monticello. I tried (not crazy about the results) some light painting from the dock too.

Photographing The Milky Way

The posts this week will follow the common theme of long exposure photography again. I setup for a special type of combined photo (which I'll post Thursday). Before I left to go home I turned my camera to grab a photograph of the Milky Way. This is the setup I mentioned in last week's encouragement. … Continue reading Photographing The Milky Way

How Great Thou Art

This is nothing but a repeat of what was with the post yesterday. I write out the weekly encouragements for myself and hope you get some encouragement from it too! I have found to get stuff to stick in my mind its best for me to repeat it. As the week goes along I have … Continue reading How Great Thou Art

Ok, I've changed the format up again on my weekly summary post, I did not like how the previous format looked on a mobile device. Hopefully this one looks a little better. If you read this please send me a … Continue reading This Week – Starting: 08/26/2024

Watching A Storm Come In

Last Sunday evening I wanted to try for two different photo setups. First I wanted to try to get a hummingbird photograph then I wanted to fly my drone for the first time in a while for a sunset photograph. I setup for a few minutes to try for a hummingbird photo but it was … Continue reading Watching A Storm Come In

More Birds and Butterflies

Ok, no bees or hummingbirds on this setup. After the setup which I've already posted from these past two days I put some bird feed out in a different spot close to my garden with the hopes of catching a few birds eating the seed. As I waited I kept seeing butterflies and moths behind … Continue reading More Birds and Butterflies

The Target: Hummingbirds

I mentioned yesterday having a particular photograph I was looking to get. While I've setup near my garden taking pictures of birds and whatnot I'd see hummingbirds around my Zinnias but could never get a photo. This time I setup closer and tried to keep my camera ready and pointed towards the Zinnias (but as … Continue reading The Target: Hummingbirds

Birds, Bees, and Butterflies

I mentioned last week some outings I had watching birds in my backyard. I setup out there again next to the garden for a particular photo I was hoping for. As I waited I was treated by several other visitors. Hint: tomorrow's post will be the particular photo I was looking for!
