Long overdue

These are some of my favorite pictures from the trip that RV and I took in late May and early June.

starry nights

Last night I took pictures of the northern lights for the first time, which I was also seeing for the first time. When I heard they were going to be out, I got excited and quickly ran out of the house with my camera, forgetting things like a headlamp, hat, gloves, and warm clothing. It was windy, and it was cold, but it was awesome.

This is a picture that I had thought about taking since last summer. Initially I wanted to set up my camera for a long exposure on a clear night with the moonlight lighting up the rocks. Because of the south facing view, the stars would have made a nice arch over the rocks. However, being a south facing view, the moon passes right through the sky in front of the camera, which would make an ugly streak and back light the waterfall. For this shot I just set up a 30 second exposure and lit the waterfall with my head lamp.

Mosquito

Mosquito beach at the Pictured Rocks. Probably one of my new favorite picture taking spots.

Lakeshore UP Edit

I'm pretty good at silly shit.

The song is performed/owned/whatever by Terry Stafford. It's titled Suspicion.

This would definitely fall into the category of "outdated," but I find it entertaining nonetheless.

(It's a gif file. I don't know if I'm seeing no movement because my computer is probably over ten years old, or if I just uploaded incorrectly or what.)
