Twelve-Years Ago Today. Semester at Sea, Spring 2013 Enrichment Voyage.
Sailboat passing in front of the setting sun viewed from the deck of the MV Explorer on the Baltic Sea. For several voyages we have been having a contest to capture images of ships passing in front of the rising or setting sun while at sea.

Seven-Years Ago Today. Backyard Springtime Nature in New Jersey.
Composite image of the fireflies flashing in my backyard. The composite was created from 564 images taken with a Fuji X-H1 camera and 56 mm f/1.2 lens (ISO 3200, 56 mm, f/8. 30 sec). The raw images were processed with Capture One Pro and the composite generated using Photoshop CC (statistics, maximum). I use the same method to create star trails.

Ten-Years Ago Today. Backyard Springtime Nature in New Jersey.
A Little Planet View of my backyard. The image is a composite of 37 images taken with a Fuji X-T1 camera and Bower 8 mm fisheye lens and then processed with AutoPano Giga Pro. AutoPano Giga is no longer available/supported so I now use PTGui Pro to create little planet images. The two Sycamore trees no longer exist, the deck was replaced with a patio, and there are now solar panels on the roof of the house. Much of the backyard grass has been converted to a wildflower meadow.

Fourteen-Years Ago Today. Indoor Springtime Nature in New Jersey.
Scutigera Coleptrata also known as a House Centipede crawling on one of my walls. It is not a silverfish. Apparently, they eat spiders and other small insects, so I leave them alone. This image was taken with a macro lens and a flash. It was late at night, and I normally do not see them during the day.

Eleven-Years Ago Today. Semester at Sea Spring 2014 Enrichment Voyage. Lerwick, Shetland Islands, Scotland.
While visiting the Lerwick lighthouse there were many Atlantic Puffins nesting along the cliffs. This Puffin was resting behind some pink flowers.
