It has been a while since I’ve shared any of the star trails shots I’ve done, so I thought I’d throw one in here this week.  If you’re at all interested in how I do these, I’ll be doing a presentation at the Blount Country Photography Club that meets at the Maryville Library on August 16th.  The club starts at 6:30 for social time and I’ll be presenting some time after that.  If you’d like to show up, I’d love to see you there.

This week’s picture if from a little earlier in the Summer.   It was the first time I had been out at night in a while (and the first time I hadn’t had to wear 3 layers of clothes) and the fireflies were amazing!  We had a good time hanging out under the stars and I’m itching to get back out there!

P.S. Spoiler alert.  Next week I think I’m going to start a series on Auschwitz and Birkenau from our recent trip to Poland.  I was going to just share one picture in a series on Poland, but the more I worked on the pictures, the more I felt like I couldn’t stop at one.  I’ll warn you that the posts will be quite a bit heavier then normal, but it is an experience I feel I need to share.
