A late night at Harold A Campbell Public Use Area, we arrived about 12:30am and shot for a few hours to get this star-trail compilation. This shot consists of 100 images – 26 seconds each with loads of flying insects flying insects trying to get to our blood. We work netting around our heads thankfully because the buzz was non stop. These types of nightime photography in the swamps are challenging, any open skin is a target – even if you are wearing long sleeves these blood suckers will bite through, unless you spray your clothes with deet before you leave.

Off the Road
On the way to Audubon’s Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, we pulled off the road to take some photos. I looked up and liked the sky with the light clouds and the glowing moon.
