Shooting Star Over Lake Tahoe

I photographed the Perseids meteor shower for a few days in mid August. While photographing the previous night it was cloudy with only a few stars visible. For this night, I was hoping for a clear sky and I was in luck. In this image, a big meteor streaked across the night sky over Lake Tahoe.

The Milky Way Galaxy goes through the center of the frame. The sky is dark to our eye but with a long exposure the camera picks up the light in the sky and more than our eyes can see. The Milky Way looks like a pale band of white light stretching though the sky to our eyes and yet the camera reveals additional stars and the beautiful gasses with dust we cannot see. This image combines one photograph with the meteor and Milky Way with another photograph of the same composition at twilight, revealing light on the lake. This creates the surreal look.

King Penguins and Mountains

Photographing at the remote Islands of South Georgia in the sub-arctic, extreme stormy weather prevented us from landing on the islands most days on the trip. Luckily on this day, the clearing storm allowed us to take a zodiac, landing on St. Andrews Bay.

The Yellow Breasted King Penguins gather under the soaring mountain peaks. I love the way they slowly waddle up the beach as they return to the safety of the colony after diving for small fish in the ocean.
