I shot this April 6, 2015 after twilight but before the waning Moon rose, so the sky was dark. Illumination is from stars and the sky – no artificial light provided, and the Moon was not up.13900317 - A faint aurora glowing over the harvest in progress this night, with trucks and combines lighting the field at left, and the Harvest Moon itself - actually three days after Full Moon - lighting the scene at right. The combination of lighting from manmade and natural sources makes for an interesting illumination on the grain bins. The Big Dipper is left of centre, pointing down to Arcturus at far left, and Perseus is at right. The Pleiades are just rising over the far right bins.13898847 - The old Atlas Coal Mine near East Coulee, Alberta, now a museum and tourist attraction. This is a composite of 20 x 1 minute exposures with the Canon 5D MkII and 16-35mm lens at 16mm and f/2.8, and ISO 1250. Taken June 27, 2013.

No light painting was employed here.13900093 - An all-sky aurora with green and purple curtains, the night of June 7-8, 2014, starting up about 12:30 and going until dawn. This shot was near its peak, from the old barn site near home in southern Alberta. Foreground illumination is from the aurora and ambient sky -- the Moon had set. The Big Dipper is above the Barn. The purple colour is from blue scatttered sunlight hitting the red tops of the auroral curtains. This was with the 16-35mm lens at f/3.2 for 20 seconds at ISO 1600 with the Canon 6D.13900090 - Venus in the evening twilight on December 17, 2021, about 2 weeks after its point of greatest brilliancy. This was shot in hope of also catching Comet Leonard, but it showed up as only a dim smudge hard to distinguish from the background sky, and is behind thin cloud here. Shot from near home in southern Alberta. Foreground illumination is from the gibbous Moon to the northeast opposite this scene which looks southwest.13899985 - The Milky Way over Athabasca Glacier and the Columbia Icefields in Jasper National Park, Sept 14, 2014 on a very clear night before moonrise. The centre of the Galaxy area in Sagittarius is setting in the southwest behind the Icefields. The foreground light on the moraines is wash from lights on the Glacier View Inn and Icefields Centre. Other ground illumination on the peaks is from starlight though the tops of the peaks are just being lit by light from the rising waning Moon which is also beginning to light the sky a deep blue. Mt. Andromeda is at left. The Summer Triangle stars are at centr13899821 - A 3-section panorama of a retreating thunderstorm taken from my back deck, with the Canon 5D MkII and 16-35mm Canon lens at 16mm.

Taken from southern Alberta, Canada.13899377 - Orion rising behind the iconic Hoodoos on Highway 10 east of Drumheller, Alberta, near East Coulee, on a moonless January night, with illumination by starlight and by a nearby yardlight providing some shadows and warmer illumination. Clouds are beginning to move in and are providing the natural star glows.13899001 - Venus (at left) and Jupiter close together in the dawn sky, and to the east of Scorpius, here at right, with reddish Antares between the trees. This was January 26, 2019. The two planets were closer together earlier in the week but clouds got in the way! Illumination is from the waning gibbous Moon off frame at right.13898793 - Circumpolar star trails on a moonlit night in the Gila National Forest in southern New Mexico, north of Pinos Altos. Polaris is at upper left, the Little Dipper hanging below it, and the stars of the Big Dipper are rising at right, with the end star of the handle still to clear the horizon. Illumination is from the waxing quarter Moon. The night had a lot of high cloud drifting through, adding the streaks and patchiness to the sky.13898027 - An all-sky aurora with green and purple curtains, the night of June 7-8, 2014, starting up about 12:30 and going until dawn. This shot was near its peak, from the old barn site near home in southern Alberta. Foreground illumination is from the aurora and ambient sky -- the Moon had set. The Big Dipper is above the Barn. The purple colour is from blue scatttered sunlight hitting the red tops of the auroral curtains. This was with the 16-35mm lens at f/3.2 for 20 seconds at ISO 1600 with the Canon 6D.13897898 - A dim aurora to the north at Grasslands National Park, Saskatchewan, at the Larson Ranch site and its rustic pioneer cabins. Taken August 8, 2016. This is looking northeast to Andromeda (the Andromeda Galaxy is above centre) and Perseus (the Double Cluster is left of centre). This Park is a Dark Sky Preserve. There are no lights visible. Illumination here is from starlight and the setting waxing crescent Moon to the southwest.13897775 - Jupiter in Libra is rising over the moonlit Badlands on Highway 10 east of Drumheller, Alberta. Light from the waxing gibbous Moon off frame to the upper right provides the illumination on April 26, 2018.13998770 - Orion and Sirius over the moonlit badlands of Dinosaur Provincial Park,Alberta on Feb. 4,2023 with the waxing gibbous Moon providing the illumination on this very clear and mild night.13900512 - A panorama of the Kp5-level aurora on May 27, 2022, from home, with the aurora displaying prominent magenta rays, created by the red oxygen emission blending with illumination from blue scattered sunlight at high altitudes, common around the summer solstice when the high atmosphere is lit all night long. As a bonus, a dim STEVE arc is forming at far right, to the south of the main auroral oval where STEVE normally appears. STEVE faded, then returned to become more strong and visible across the sky from east to west as the main aurora to the north faded.13899967 - Passengers observing and shooting the Northern Lights from the upper Deck 9 of the ms Trollfjord on the northbound voyage, Oct 16, 2019, north of Tromsø. Illumination is from the waning gibbous Moon in frame at right.13899422 - Star trails over Patricia Lake and Pyramid Mountain in Jasper National Park.
