Yes, we tried it again, and, yes, the clouds rolled in and hid most of the Milky Way. The forecast called for clear skies, but Mother Nature had other plans. But, with the help of Karen, we had fun light painting, catching color off the clouds and enjoying each others company. For a few, it was a first for night photography.
We shot up at my husband’s observatory. He didn’t get clouded out until just about the time we decided to leave. He does deep space imaging, so his criteria is different.
I’m glad I was with photographers who make the best out of a somewhat bad situation. Will we try again? I’m sure we will. Anyway,here are some of the images I captured that evening.
You can see the Milky Way and the clouds coming in.
We did some light painting on an observatory.
We even tried some abstracts by zooming our lens.
Here’s another abstract that more colorful.
The clouds reflected the ambient lights from the Sacramento Valley.
You can still see the Milky Way in between the clouds.

Thank you Mercedes. The zoom effect works best with bright objects. Try it at Christmas time. We were just bored and trying different things! Love your photos.
