My first attempt at astrophotography - the pristine black sky of Maine gives a big assist, no light pollution, but there were high clouds - my expectations were low but I had my new fast lens and my tripod and had figured out the math for a long enough exposure to capture light - but not so long that star trails appear. When I tripped the shutter my eye could see only three stars - with the magic of long exposure - voila - a sky of many stars. My first attempt-and so I am proud and need to record it. Another example of why this blog is for my own enjoyment.

Carriage Road - Acadia National Park
The locals say the fall color is past its peak - but these trees seem to have decided a different schedule. My good fortune.

Bass Harbor Lighthouse
If high tide had come any earlier I would have been soaked to my knees, instead of just my ankles.
