Orionids
Posted in 5DMII, Long exposures, sky on October 22, 2011 by budbranchMy daughter Elise reminded me Friday morning that the Orionids were going to peak early Saturday morning. After checking the weather and noting that skies were forecast to be mostly clear, I decided to capture some meteor images. I set my camera up around 9PM and left it shooting 30 second exposures continuously – the battery died around 1AM – I got 440 images. This first composite merged 50 or so images, and includes more aircraft trails than meteors…
GIN is my new favorite brand…. :-)

Gas Tank –
Posted in 5DMII, HDR on September 30, 2011 by budbranch– and I do mean GAS! This tank is used to store the methane that is generated by the process of solid waste treatment at the RWSA Moore’s Creek plant. I’m told that in turn, the methane is used to power other equipment around the plant. Cool!
