Not my usual kind of nature photography, but I do enjoy studying the night sky. On a whim I recently decided to see if I could catch the International Space Station passing between the Moon and us, and sure enough, less than a week later it was predicted to transit the Moon, and I could see it from my own back yard! So, on September 27th, I set up my small telescope and camera to try and photograph the ISS flyby.

This is a composite image of 12 frames I captured of the ISS transiting the Moon.

A total eclipse probably shouldn’t happen. I say “probably” because the probability is too small. After all, we are the only known planet that has a moon just the right size and distance to provide a perfect total solar eclipse where the moon just barely covers the sun, allowing the viewer to see the corona and prominences. It also happens to be the only place where there is someone to see it.

A few photos I managed to take in between conversations during the Opening Reception at Motion Gallery Eau Claire Market in Calgary. Most of the photos were taken late in the evening after most people had left. We had a really wonderful time. Thank you to the staff at Motion Gallery for the great night!

A friend recently asked me what images I had of Ontario. While I lived in Ontario I was a bit earlier on in my photography hobby, and the first few years I was using film. But digging through my 120,000 plus images, I was able to locate a few.

I also have some images of the Inglis Falls waterfall and area from a visit in 2011 and 2014.
