The Big Dipper over moonlit aspens in full fall colour, at Elbow Falls, Kananaskis, Alberta, in September 2015. Illumination is from a waxing gibbous Moon. This is a single 15-second exposure at f/2.5 with the 24mm lens and Nikon D750 at ISO 800.
The Big Dipper, with its handle pointing to Arcturus at left, on a moonlit autumn evening, over the Waterton River at the Maskinonge picnic area at Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta. I shot this September 20, 2015, before clouds and eventually rain moved in. Illumination is from a First Quarter Moon. This is a single 20-second exposure at f/2.8 and ISO 1600 with the Nijon D750 and Sigma 24mm lens, untracked on a tripod. The night was very windy, thus the blurred grass and bushes.
