As White as Snow....

I wanted to try my hand at taking a bird photo with a clean uncluttered background. All I did was set up a white sheet as a background next to my bird feeder and wait, this is what I came away with.

Happy Trails...

Here's an image I took on the same night I shot for my star trail photo, I saw a few shooting stars this night but most of them were behind me. Most of the time when I see them it's between exposures but I finally lucked out and one went through the frame while I had the shutter open.

Sabattus River Star Trails....

Sunday night I went to Sabattus River to try my hand at Star Trail photography. This was my first attempt and it wasn't that difficult. The first thing I did was download some free software that combines all the images called Star Stax, a Google search will find the free download website. Afterward, I just went to Youtube and watched a video on how to use the software, pretty easy. This photo happens to be a compilation of 90 images taken in a 45 minute time span. I would've taken more but I got cold and a bank of clouds was moving in from behind me so it would've obscured the stars. I made sure to point my camera north so I would get the circular pattern, another section of sky and the streaks would've appeared as arcs.

November Is In The Air....

This oak leaf got hung up in my winterberry bush so I photographed it on a frosty morning.
