A Rare Occurrence

52Frames - Week 41 - Panorama

Earlier this month the Chicago area was graced with an occurrence of the northern lights. It was a clear night so I went out to shoot star trails since the forecast was only a 10% chance of being able to see the aurora.

I got lucky with both! This photo is a 5 shot panorama merged in Lightroom. The star trails + aurora photo was posted earlier on my blog at https://jeffm211-p52.blogspot.com/2024/10/good-fortune.html.

A New Toy

I bought a new (to me) toy...Nikon 35Ti; a 35mm film point & shoot camera first introduced in 1993.  At the time, it had the best lens on the market for a camera of its type.  I'm tinkering again in the analog world.  These images are off the first roll of film I shot.
