An adventure is search of aurora proved unsuccessful in aurora still provided some mediocre shots. As I sat at one of the boat launches of Charlie Lake, just outside fo Fort St. John I got to see the lights of the little community and many starts.

I’m still working on my photography of the stars, but this attempt was a little better and the first I think I am sharing. My favourite out of these shots are the landscape shot of the lights of Charlie Lake lighting up the surrounding area and the opps shot of the very blurry lights.

Chase Jarvis once said something along the lines of “it takes 1000 good shots before a photographer discovers their style.” I think I only have 998 to go.

What do you think?

Going to the big City is alway a fun experience, especially when you get to stay in a hotel room high above the ground floor. Okay so the 16th floor isn’t all the high up, but when you live in a community that doesn’t have a building taller than 3 stories this is cool.

My view is pointing toward the lake, but is blocked by other big buildings. I can see a sliver of the lake. So far while here we have experienced all sorts of weather. One day it was cloudy with a high ceiling, another heavy, heavy fog, one raining/snowing and finally a blue skied sunny day. I think we have experienced every day possible that Chicago can have, well expect for a snow storm, but I can image that.
