Big Dipper Over Carter Lake
Camping this past weekend was beautiful. We ventured up to Carter Lake, about 35 minutes northwest of our home and in the foothills. An easy trip but a quick way to get away and relax. And as the sun set, I setup the tripod and camera and was able to capture the Big Dipper as the “blue” hour transcended into darkness….

Milky Way from Lake Maconaughy
I spent some time late at night while camping on the lake a few weeks back to capture the Milky Way. Just playing around, but I think I’ve found what works and what doesn’t. Here’s one image that I liked out of the dozen or so I shot.
