The Big Dipper with its handle pointing left in an arc to Arcturus in the northwest on a moonlit autumn evening at Elbow Falls, in Kananaskis Country, Alberta. This is a single 20-second exposure at f/2.5 with the 24mm lens and Nikon D750 at ISO 800.
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.
