Happy Winter (and Solstice and Ursid Meteor Shower and Northern Lights Show)!

IMG_0810smallest.JPG

I shot this the day I got my new RF 15-35 f2.8 IS USM in the mail last February.  I quickly ran out to take pics of what was left of what turned out to be our last snowfall last year.  This stream is 1/4 or so from where we live (we live in a beautiful area) and I was losing the light fast.  I had to crawl on a 2' ledge under a 4' high small bridge to get to this spot.  It was a fun challenge to get to the spot and shoot in an uncomfortable position. 

ISO 500, 1/40th, f22, shot in Fv mode.  Leveled and cropped a bit, brightened, cloudy white balance, landscape settings, and +2 color saturation.

It is a beautiful clear moonless night tonight here.  I have my camera set up out taking pictures all night using the interval timer.  I've never done that before - should be like Christmas tomorrow morning waking up to see what I find!   I will brighten them all using a DPP recipe then do a quick check to see if I caught any meteor trails and look for the Milky Way. I think it might be clear tomorrow night.  If so, I might do a time lapse to compare results and maybe get a cool northern lights movie.  Unfortunately for that event our northern sky is really full of trees.
