Today’s photo come from a little stretch of Guanajuato famous for its part in the history of Mexican Independence. I was in Guanajuato on September 28 about 10 years ago. That was a crazy celebration.
We have some friends who live near the top of Park Street. I have always wanted a shot of the view but have never had my camera with me (until last night). This was an hour or so after the blue hour, but with a 30-second exposure a bit of time travel was possible.
Last week I posted a photo from the clock tower of the Santa Barbara County Courthouse. Today’s photo is of the courthouse and the clock tower that prior picture came from.
The first night we pulled into Santa Barbara we were all rather stunned driving past this building which looked spectacular at night. During the day it still looked pretty cool, but at night is when it really dazzles. Every night I meant to walk down the street (we were staying near Santa Barbara High School) to get this shot, but it wasn’t until our final night–Christmas evening–that I actually made it happen.
The campus will be a ghost town in another week, but there are some holiday lights between the new dorms (Shasta and McLoughlin Residence Halls).
I spent a couple nights over Labor Day Weekend at a friend’s ranch in Beatty, about two and a half hours east of Ashland. With no moon, clear skies, and no sizable population within 30+ miles the Milky Way was quite visible with the naked eye.
I am between tripods at the moment so I had to prop my camera up in some old manure to get this shot, a 15 second exposure (to avoid star trails) @ 24mm. Next time I will be sure to have a tripod and my 14-24mm lens so I can go for a 30 second exposure without star trails for hopefully better results.
Today’s photo of the Milky Way comes from a camping trip in Northern California last summer.
This year’s Cycle Oregon features a weekend ride (this weekend) beginning in Corvallis and a week-long ride in September going through places like John Day, Burns, Diamond, Crane, and Seneca. Today’s photo is from last year’s camp in Ashland.
