Hunting Camp: Night

This is part 2/4 in the series called Hunting Camp. This part of the series focuses on the stars and the night sky. The Hunting Camp is just south of Algonquin park which means that the night sky is amazing. Without any city lights to interfere it is possible to see almost everything. 
The first photo is just a normal star picture that I took overlooking the main lake that we use. The bright star down near the bottom right is Jupiter, you are also able to see Saturn and Mars in this picture too but they are over on the bottom left and not as bright. It is also possible to see the milky way on the left side of the picture too. The bright glow is what I think is city lights coming from possibly Bancroft or maybe even as far away as Ottawa or Toronto but I'm not too sure.
The second picture is a star trails one. This one photo is over 200 photos stacked on top of each other using StarStaX. I had to crop this photo on the left due to the sheer amount of planes. This spot seems to be over a flight route and thus there was a lot of planes. My favourite thing about this picture is the reflection on the lake. The lake was like a mirror that night which resulted in the reflection that I think made the overall photo.
Come back next Sunday for part three of the series.

Hunting Camp 2023

My yearly trip up to my family's "Hunt Camp" was last weekend. It was a great time seeing the family and seeing the beautiful landscape that it sits on.  Main Lake at the Camp Reflections in the Lake Reflations on the other side of the lake A scenic lookout on the way home Rockingham Church on the way home

So Many Woodpeckers

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.

Driftwood Provincial Park 2023

The first and most likely only camping trip this year was just taken on the July 1st long weekend. It is probably going to be the only trip because we just got a puppy and aren't quite at the stage yet of taking her camping.  In some other news I got a new camera. Henrys was having an trade in event and for once was offering a fair deal. I traded in my Nikon D7200 and got a Sony Alpha a6600 instead. I got a 70-350mm lens and have an 16-50mm lens on order that should hopefully be in mid August. That is currently why all my photos are zoomed in and there is no landscape ones.  Sunset from the beach before the storm. Taken on my Pixel 6 My new camera with zoom lens.
