Morning ritual, taken with Mini iPad!

This little picture was taken at Salmon Valley, British Columbia on New Years Eve. The weather was 23 degrees below 0 ...but having a thermos full of coffee and baileys kept me warm.

ISO - 500, F1.8, 13" (which seemed like a really long time while it was cold out)

Taking this photo did pose some difficulties. The wind direction affected the outcome very much. Handling the dark cityscape on one side and the bright fireworks on the other was the biggest challenge to me.

Note, con-trail across the sun/moon

A 22° halo is one type of optical phenomenon, forming a circle with a radius of approximately 22° around the Sun, or occasionally the Moon (also called a moon ring or winter halo). It forms as sunlight is refracted in millions of randomly oriented hexagonal ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere. The halo is large; the radius is roughly the size of an outstretched hand at arm's length. A 22° halo may be visible on as many as 100 days per year—much more frequently than rainbows.

When I can, I like to take an image of our lake that makes even the locals say "Really? That's our lake?" For this image I was just practicing with my ND filter.

A collage of the April 5th, 2015 lunar eclipse and blood moon. I don't believe that the eclipse every quite reached totality, but it was still a beautiful (though chilly) night to be out shooting.
