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.
A 360° horizon panorama of Pyramid Lake and Pyramid Island from the boardwalk out to the island, in Jasper National Park, Alberta. At left is the setting waxing gibbous Moon in the southwest, at left of centre in the north is the Big Dipper over the boardwalk and Pyramid Mountain. At right of centre is a faint aurora to the northeast. To the right of that is the Pleiades star cluster rising in the east. This is a 12-section panorama taken with the 24mm lens and Canon 6D, each segment a 32-second exposure at f/2.8 and ISO 1250. This was stitched in Photoshop CS 2014.
