Every October I travel back to Michigan to spend a weekend (reunion) with my closest college friends. We rent a house on the lake (not so much this year, but there was a river), cook a lot of amazing food, drink a lot of drinks, and have a good ol time just hanging out and forgetting about the real world for a while. Living in California this is a great time for me to catch up with my friends and remind them that I still exist For me, its also a great chance to photograph the fall colors, as theyre usually in full bloom while I visit Sadly, this year was about a week too late but I decided to try something different..
When we went out to the river to start a campfire I brought my camera with me. I pointed it to the sky a bit, bumped the ISO up a tad, opened up the aperture to let as much light in as possible and then let the timer just start taking 1 min, 45 second photos over and over. I only let it go about 45 minutes so I dont have much of a time-lapse but I did get some neat images here. Its amazing how much color the camera can pick out just off the moon and a campfire
