So, I said I would try again, here it is. Third time is the key (though, I will admit I am trying one more time tonight). Less clouds, kicked it off with some light still in the sky, raised the view and took a longer series. The right side is darker, I had a moon in the sky the last time, but I love the colors. I also took one with a different view in the middle of the night, no lake, but more stars. You can even see some ‘non-star’ movement going in other directions, there is a red line going thru the middle almost North to South.

Not the dramatic look I was going for with star trails. I had tried a new method and to be honest, screwed it all up the night before. The night that had NO clouds and was perfect with TONS of visible stars. I tried again last night, this time it worked, but fewer stars and overcast toned it all down. I will give it another try if the sky clears before we leave. This series was taken over 2 hours in the dark with some ambient light sneaking in… also sneaking in was a visitor. A deer showed up in the photos about 3/4’s the way through. Since this is many photos stacked over each other, with each one being 30 seconds long, it is tough to catch anything that moves, but this deer posed for a reasonable amount of time dead center. Only moving its head blurring their face for privacy. Too bad it would have been a perfect shot all by itself.

Well, all good things must… we went home today. We had a great week at Loon Pines on Loon Lake. Thanks to our hosts Diane & Micheal, it was the perfect place for us to relax. An awesome week, hope to make it back someday. Tune back in tomorrow for a special NH Waterfall blog post from the photos I collected this week.
