Christmas on the Farm

About an hours worth of 30-second photos, merged to show the movement of the stars.

Cow Field in the Moon Light

Here’s another night scene I photographed in rural Bedford County the other night. The moon was so bright it lit the field up as though it were day. This is a 30 second exposure, the cows were amazingly still 🙂

 

 

Night on the Farm

Looks better if you click on it!!! 🙂

So I left the house late Saturday night in search of night scene to shoot. I took off on some back roads in rural Bedford County. Came across a few interesting scenes, shot a little here and there, then I was very excited when I came across this. The barn was sitting in perfect moon light. The North Star just off to the left (just out of frame). So I set up here and shot for about an hour and a half to capture the star trails. No artificial light was used in this scene, everything was completely lit by a very bright moon. Hopefully I’ll be headed out that way soon for some other ideas I found along the way 🙂

Sunday Sunset - Panorama

Another panorama! Just like the last one, this is a 4 shot panorama (each a 7 exposure HDR). I was at home when I noticed the skies taking shape. Without much time to get to a more interesting spot, I headed to the farm field across from my house 🙂

The Little Red Chair

/2 Comments/in /by

So I was told at work about some little red chairs they had. They used them as part of staging furniture but they no longer needed them. They said they were the perfect size for my kids. As soon as I saw them, I knew exactly what I wanted to use them for. I brought them home on Friday and by Saturday evening I had them out in the field across the street posing for photos. After a few odd looks from the neighbors, we had tons of photos!

A Hawk! No wait, a Sunset!

So the family and I were riding home after a competitive game of disc golf at a local park, when I glanced at a field we were passing and I noticed a very large Red Tailed Hawk sitting on a hay bale.

We turned around, and I thought I would get out of the car down the road some and walk to a tree line to see if I could get a shot of the hawk. Well, we stopped a little closer than I wanted and as soon as I made it to the edge of the road, the hawk flew away. I believe he was watching me as soon as the car stopped! I continued on to the tree line to see if could find where he flew to but I saw him soaring far away.

By now, 10-15 minutes had passed and, as I began to head back to the car (where my wife and kids were waiting), I noticed the sky was really taking shape to produce a nice sunset. I convinced them we needed to stay a few more minutes, and this is the result:

I had to get one more as we drove away!

Even got a couple of the family:
