August 23/24, 2011 Star Trails
I took this photo tonight. I used the same technique as I did in the previous post. This one is about a 50 minute one. For some reason my SLR powers off after about that long. I will need to find out how to turn that off before making longer…

June 15, 2011 Lightning
Tonight turned out to be one of the best nights I've had for lightning photography. I was able to place my camera outside under the new awning over the deck and take a ton of photos. Since this particular storm was so energetic, I was able to capture lightning in…
