Lillooet Valley Before Moonrise
The moon came up minutes after this picture. The timing wasn't great - the sun had barely set when the moon was due to come up so there was no dark sky to see stars. If it were later in the month, you wouldn't have to drive far from Lillooet to see the milky way.
Tent Lit Up With Night Light
Helen had LED lights that would stay on all night so the kids felt a little better. I'm impressed how much camping technology has changed over the years.
Big Dipper Over The Trees
The camera was propped up on a picnic table and angled up using my wallet . At 28mm, I don't have a very wide angle lens. The moon was out which is why the trees were so well lit up.
Camp Fire With Stars
This is a three minute exposure which is all I could do with the camp fire in the scene. It was a partly cloudy night so I wasn't ever going to get a great star picture.
Torch Burning Away
I love the traces that sparks leave. This is a long exposure (1 second) and the sparks were thrown because a log shifted in the holder.
