A look at the stars instead of the screen

We had a great weekend which included visiting my family in the Crowsnest Pass, spending the best part of the evening light with a bald eagle out in the Foothills and a hike with my wife and children around Fenland Trail in Banff.

Many photographs to work through, a magazine article to write, two workshops to plan and market – much to do but, when I came across this image during a licensing request, it got me to put down the keyboard and go outside and look at the stars for a while.

I made this while I was taking long exposures up at the Elbow Falls in Kananaskis.  Towards the end of my night in the mountains, I pointed the lens up at the stars and then zoomed through the range for a few seconds to generate some warp speed lines.

More posts on the Tonquin, Moraine Lake, a cliff jumper I met and the eagle soon.
