Last night was a clear night so I figured I would talk off campus a bit to get away from light so I walked down to Nassau Mills Lock 22 on the Trent Severn waterway which was in full darkness and got some cool stars. I used F/3.5, ISO 800 and shutter of 3.5 seconds to get this picture. I took over 500 photos then stacked them all together using an application called StarStax. I edited it in Adobe Photoshop Express. The trees at the bottom of the image light up because of car head lights and the red dot at the bottom of the picture is probably a plane.
Recently I went on a walk in a local wooded area, for most of the walk I didn't see anything other than some Black-Capped Chickadees until near the end when the first came alive. I saw four different species of woodpecker and a giant Raven. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a photo of all of the birds that were there. Then on the walk home from the wooded area, I came across a group of house finches feeding on some berries in a tree, where one posed perfectly in the bright winter sun for me. Mallard Duck from a previous walk. One of many trees with signs of woodpecker activity. Black-Capped Chickadee. Downey Woodpecker. Pileated Woodpecker. Black-Capped Chickadee. Pileated Woodpecker.
