I have been posting to this blog for over 13 years, each year reporting on accomplishments over the prior year and goals for the new year.

2024 is a little different. I’ve decided that this Blog will be my main photography communication vehicle. Content will be varied and in the spirit of my approach to photography as described on the "About" page of my website at www.jeffmarcowitz.photography 

Unlike the past, all content posted here in the blog will NOT also be on the website Project W pages. I intend to make the Project W pages more of a curated collection of work representing the “Best Of” images posted here on the Blog. With a subscription, you'll continue to receive an email (with content) whenever I post to the Project W Blog.

Thanks to all of you who have followed this photo blog for many years and welcome to any newcomers. My hope is that the images and stories are interesting and thought-provoking as I continue this creative journey. As always, comments, critiques and suggestions (here and the website) are welcome and appreciated as they often lead to new ideas and inspiration.

Thank You.
Jeff

Circle Surprise

Circle Surprise
52Frames - Week 43 - Use A Tripod

I had intended to shoot the Milky Way this week but with the moon being close to full, there is too much light and a short MW visibility window.  Changing gears, I went for a star trails shot.  Being my first ever, this circular result was a complete surprise.

I set camera on tripod and aimed out and up into the night sky. Although the moon had already set, it was still not pitch black out and stars were visible but not particularly bright.  Little did I know that the camera was aimed at celestial north.

This image is a blend of 101 shots at 30 seconds each with a 1 second interval in between.  Total exposure of 50 minutes.
