Welcome to the Grey Street Images Blog. I prefer to use this as an area to showcase my workflow and thoughts as well as a few random photos here and there. I will post current projects that I am working on and samples from shoots here regularly. I hope that everyone enjoys it.
On a trip to Door County over Memorial Day weekend I decided to head out to find some dark skies. The weather was perfect with the moon setting at 130am and clear skies forecasted. I woke at 145am and set out to Anderson dock in Ephraim for a few time exposures. That location has a great view of the Southern sky. I set up my tripod and a red lantern to preserve my night vision and started shooting. Here are a few results....

These turned out much better than my first attempt last week. The clouds looked really excellent. All were about 20-30 second exposures with a kit 18-200mm f3.5-5.6 Nikkor. With so much light pollution I'm surprised at how bright the milky way was. I can't wait to try some out with better glass on a D800E.
