The light painting, and Milky way, star safari...

"The heavens declare the Glory of God, and the sky above proclaims His handiwork." -Psalms 19:1

We had a very nice turn out for our night time safari of light painting, and sky photography.  We started a little rough when the site we had chosen suddenly had a working pump, a derrick, and truck there.  We hunted around for another pump, and found one that would work.  Everybody started setting up.  Settings, and a little instruction were relayed to all participants.  Soon everybody was clicking away, and getting some nice photos.  Gennean was our light painter, and I think she should market herself for this task.  She was fantastic.  Our pictures had just the perfect amount of light.  Feast your eyes on our results.  I will post more as I receive them.

Beautiful painting...

Look at that Milky Way! And the beautiful colors in the sky.

Right after sunset.  Trying to get the blue light.


The Milky Way is just starting to be seen...it is the white, cloud cluster about half-way up the horizon.

Milky way is more visible here.

Really visible.  See all the cars parked to the right of the pump.


We all were happy we did not encounter any snakes out for an evening slither.  Bugs, on the other hand, loved our light.  There were bugs galore.  Pesky things.  We should have taken some yard guard.  I think everyone had a good time, and learned a lot.
