Myles K Tony Pelletier and I found ourselves at Hall Farms to explore their fields of sunflowers. Stylistically, I kind of just threw a bunch of approaches at the wall to see what I stuck with, but I actually ended up enjoying a little of it all.
So enjoy some tight details, some long exposure shutter drag, some wide angle, some high contrast and low contrast edits, and ending with the best of what we could muster from that sunset as well.

A couple weeks ago I got my first real opportunity to photograph an Indigo Bunting. I hear them often enough, but it’s just one of those that never seem to appear for me. Finally I got to really look at how brilliant the blue is on these birds.

A while back Tony Pelletier and I were hiking around Harlow Lake and came across a pair of these prehistoric critters. I’ve never come across sandhill cranes in a rocky, woodland environment before. They made their way uphill away from the lake so when we rounded a corner and looked uphill to see these guys, I pulled up the camera and fired a few shots before they wandered off.

The quiet night. The occasional firefly glow. The stretch of the spiral arm of our Milky Way galaxy and its core colliding with our horizon. I haven’t done enough astrophotography this year, but I’ve done a little in the upper peninsula and a little in the lower and I am so grateful for how accessible a dark night sky still is in the UP. This was taken ten minutes from home.
When I was downstate in June, it was incredibly difficult just to find a location to make an attempt and while Tony Pelletier and I did do that then (with all the nasty light pollution that came with that) we did so again a few weeks back up here with much less trouble.

Enjoy the night sky while we still can. Over the course of our lives, these views will become more and more rare.

This would need to be one large print to really see this the way a wide pano like this was intended to be viewed, but for the gram, this will have to do. Maybe I’ll print it up tonight. Anyway, this is a shot on the Michigamme River on a weekend where camping became a miserable, eternal battle with mosquitoes and black flies. Nonetheless, memories were made and photos were taken.

Shot on the Nikon ZF with the Thypoch Lenses 28mm and I believe this was about 8 or 9 images stitched with Affinity and then processed in DxO Labs Photolab 9.

My time toward the end of June getting more opportunities with some of the Mourning Warbler I’ve come across did eventually result in images I liked.
Nothing groundbreaking visually, but this species of warbler is so difficult to photograph on any nice looking branch or perch of any kind. It likes to stay in the shadows and very low to the ground. I mostly watched them as they navigated through thick low-lying bushes and shrubs. Every once in a while, one would pop out somewhere for a very short time. I put probably 15-20 hours specifically with this group of them over a few weekends, both mornings and evenings.

While visited, we got word of lights in the sky. Aurora was dancing but so were the clouds. Our view was fairly muted but the camera picked up all the color bursting behind those clouds.
