52 Assignments BW50 - Branch Out (Alternate)

Reed-Turner Woodland

Technically cannot use this shot for the assignment since it is not of a single tree, hence an alternate.

Rookie Astro Outing

Newport State Park

Door County, WI

First ever astrophotography attempt.  And at an official "Dark Sky" location no less.

Blind Shot
Intent was to capture the Milky Way, however there was no visibility through the viewfinder or LCD. The Milky Way wasn't visible to the naked eye and the Photopills App was the only guidance available.  Notwithstanding, I managed to catch a glimpse.

Straight Up
For this shot, I put on the adapted fisheye lens and shot straight up into the sky.  I have no idea if there is any Milky Way here.

The Milky Way attempts were mediocre at best, however, I captured this moonrise photo over Lake Michigan at 12:02am EDT.  Earliest completion of the weekly challenge in my 3.5 years of participation.
