Split Rock Moonrise

I took a few days off around the new year for a quick trip to Split Rock Lighthouse.  On January 4th, the moon would rise right behind the lighthouse just after the sun set, which I have been waiting for a chance to photography.  Unfortunately, the weather did not agree for the night of the 4th, as the wind chills were -40 and below, so I didn’t make the trip to the North Shore until the 5th.  The moon rose about 50 minutes after sunset, so it was closer to a silhouette than I was hoping, but I made due with what I had.  Here are 3 shots, being the clouds were thin and wispy, and sea smoke was quickly thickening, the moon rise looked more like a sun rise.

Cathedral of St. Joseph

I was in Sioux Falls, SD last week for work.  I took a chance to head over to the Cathedral of St. Joseph for a few photographs.  Due to the short amount of time I had, I stuck with capturing the larger scene.  I will be heading back whenever I get a chance to photograph the exquisite detail this Cathedral contains.

14mm

In recent months I have been tinkering with photographing the night sky.  I had found that my 17mm at f/4 was not the best for this job, so I started researching wider, faster lenses.  I came across a good price for the Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 (also branded Samyang or Bower).  The lens came in late last week, and I took it out for a quick shoot, trying to get a feel for it.

Duluth 2014 Airshow

A friend and I made out way to the Duluth Airshow last Sunday.  The weather was not the greatest with a haze and overcast sky.  The low clouds held off the start of the show until 1pm, but they did get some acts in the air.  Here are just a few of the images I took, I still have more to work through.

Light Painting on the North Shore

I had a few days off of work last week.  A couple of the nights were going to be clear, with a 3/4 moon, so I decided to spend one night on the MN North Shore trying some more light painting.  Here are 2 images from the night.
