A composite of 5 frames from a 200-frame time-lapse attempting to record the Leonid meteor shower in 2014. 5 Leonids are recorded here near centre where Leo is rising in the east. Jupiter is the bright object at lower right. One bright sporadic meteor is at far left not part of the meteor shower. The Big Dipper is at left as well, with the handle having jusr risen. The green is from airglow. While the Leonid meteors shown here were recorded over a two hour period, the stars are from the last frame of the set of five, so the meteors are not positioned with respect to the rising radiant point but with respect to the sky on the fixed camera. Each frame was 30 seconds at ISO 4000 with the Canon 6D and 14mm lens at f/2.8. Taken from near Silver City, New Mexico.
Aurora over grain bins at harvest time, Sept, 26/27, 2014. I shot this from near home, using the Canon 5D MkII and 16-35mm lens at f/2.8 and ISO 3200 for 30 seconds.
The Big Dipper in bright moonlight over Wilcox Peak and the Glacier View Inn and parking area at the Columbia Icefields. The unshielded sodium vapour lights provide unwanted glare at an otherwise pristine dark site in a Dark Sky Preserve. This is a single 20-second exposure with the 16-35mm lens at f/2.8 and Canon 5D MkII at ISO 1000.
