There are a couple of botanical gardens near Acadia National Park that I had the joy of visiting. They are a feast for the eye and soul. So serene. So lush. These are infrared photographs. For me, IR brings out the … Continue reading Botanical Garden in Infra-red
The Milky Way stalking is full on. I have reached the point where the well documented dos-and-don’ts of Milky Way photography have been ditched. “Only shoot during moonless nights”. Nope. “Only shoot during clear skies.” Negatory. In these images, the … Continue reading Milky Way – My Way.
