Hunting For Wonder In Western New York
Star Trails at Chimney Bluffs
April 13, 2023

After the mermaid shoot I had another photographic mission in Chimney Bluffs State Park: Star trails on a clear night looking out at Lake Ontario. The stars were crisp even though there was quite a bit of light about. Before my programmed sequence, some foreground shots standing on the bench looking north. Because north would be the center of the trails–inside the diurnal circles.
