Moonlit Night at Badger Creek

I was out practicing my night photography skills before an upcoming trip to Iceland and this scene opened up before my very eyes. I couldn't have asked for a better mix of conditions; stars, clouds, fog and moonlight.

Kirkjufell Mountain

Kirkjufell is a 463m high mountain on the north coast of Iceland's Snæfellsnes peninsula, near the town of Grundarfjörður

Dancing Aurora Over Fjallsárlón Glacial Lagoon in Iceland

God did not disappoint on this night. This was our last chance to experience the aurora borealis on our trip to Iceland after having had consecutive nights of overcast skies and rain. The show went on for hours!

Nighttime Sky

I was out shooting the Milky Way over a landscape and looked up and saw this and was taken back to all the times as a child I would stare up at the nighttime sky.

Milky Way Silo

Got out for some Iowa astrophotography a couple times in the past few weeks. Testing a new technique to capture the night sky but with less ISO noise. I'm impressed...

Lunar Halo

Took Taylor (our dog) out tonight before bedtime and saw this! Stayed up a while longer. :-)
