Happy Valentine’s Day to my wonderful wife, Dawn!
I did some light painting on this heart-shaped rock and captured a star trail behind it. A composite of 161 exposures, one interesting aspect of this image is the different colours in the stars. They were blurred because the camera was closely focused on the rock so perhaps that had something to do with it.

Here’s a set of photos following a similar theme. I processed them all similarly using AuroraHDR with some presets to add some hdr effect as well as a specific filter. Click on the individual photos to see larger versions and exif details.

I managed to find another moose recently. It took a while of walking though the park area, but I finally spotted this cow moose lying down in the snow. She ate a bit of snow, then got up and started grazing on the trees. Click on the individual photos to see larger versions and exif details.

We went to Palm Springs again this fall. Most of the photos I took were from hikes that we did rather than anything urban. The majority of these photos are from the Coachella Valley Preserve. Notably, the Pushwalla trail ridge hike, the McCallum trail and the Moon Country trail. The old car wreck is from the Big Morongo Canyon Preserve.

This is a fun thing that CN does every year in early December to support local charities. They dress up an engine and a few cars and take people for a short ride from north Edmonton into St. Albert and back. They were kind enough to stop on the trestle bridge for a few minutes for the photo op, otherwise these would ALL have had blur in them.
