Tonight the Medway Library Photograph Group OH SHOOT! met at Thayer House and photographed light spinning. Thanks to Elizabeth for demoing the art in the cold.

the dailypic 3192 yr9 2624 More Stars Over Lake Loon
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.

the dailypic 3192 yr9 2621 Stars Over Loon Lake
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.

the dailypic 2930 yr9 008 Three Minutes on Main St
OK, first for those that follow everyday, I am sorry… I made it a week in black and white, not a month. The dailypic is alive to me, it is black and white when it wants to be. I felt I was forcing it, so back to color until it tells me otherwise. Now, on to these shots, I needed to go for a walk tonight so why not go be creepy and stand on the side of the road with a camera and a tripod. Three shots, 3 minute exposures each. Just some fun light streaks or Main Street and its travelers.

A moon shot was not planned for tonight, actually nothing was planned, to be honest. Had a meeting, was driving home and saw this scene. Camera and tripod in the truck and this is what I got.

Nubble at Night
July 25, 2015
2 days ago we decided to to head to Maine for the weekend. Not like us, we are planners by nature, so this was a big deal. The decision led to… well, plans. What part, what would we do, all that stuff. I had one request, I wanted to see the Nubble Lighthouse, I wanted to take a photo of it. I saw it once many years ago when I worked up here, but those days there was no dailypic, there was no camera in my hand. So, past that, I was good for anything. We set a course to Portland Head Light, that led us to 2 Lights, then Bug Light, then a Portland Harbor Cruise, then the most expensive dinner the 4 of us have ever had at the Lobster Cove in York – it was worth it. Then at 10pm, in complete darkness, I made it to Nubble Light, while the family was in a food coma in the car, I mounted the camera to the tripod, found the cable release, made my way by flashlight to the rocky shore across from the light. One test for focus, then one 4 minute, 30 second exposure later, I left with this shot. I consider the trip a success, and I still have another day to go. I added one more shot I got from the cruise of Portland Head Light.
