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 iconic Parks Canada red chairs at the waterfowl viewing pond at the entrance of Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta, Canada, on a moonlit autumn evening with the stars of the autumn sky rising in the northeast. Visible are Perseus, the W of Cassiopeia, and most of Andromeda, including the Andromeda Galaxy at upper right. The bright star at lower left is Capella in Auriga. The night was very windy, thus the blurred trees and bushes (there was no special lens blue filter applied!) in this 20-second exposure at f/2.8 and ISO 2000 with the Nikon D750 and Sigma 24mm lens, on a static tripod, no tracking. Light is from the First Quarter Moon.
A nightscape scene at Linnet Lake area in Waterton Lakes National Park, looking east over Upper Waterton Lake and toward Vimy Peak, with autumn stars rising in the east, and autumn trees in full colout. The red chairs are the iconic chairs Parks Canada places at many viewpoints in National Parks and Historic Sites. This was a very windy night! This is a frane from a time-lapse, at ISO 6400 and f/2.2 with the Nikon D750 and Sigma 24mm lens, for 20 seconds. Passing car headlights provided the foreground light painting.
