I’ve had little time and energy to shoot photos lately. I was hoping our weekend camping would provide some opportunities but the weather was very uninspiring, cloudy and opressively hot and humid.

Burnt Coat Head was where we ended up and I was able to capture this with a long exposure. Not much was visible to the eye. It got even better later that night but we were long gone unfortunately. Aurora photography requires detachment from sleep I haven’t yet perfected. ...
