Moon Over Milwaukee

Some long-exposure photography last night while a bright, full-ish moon was out.

Shot a few minutes before getting yelled at (scolded might be more accurate…) by a park worker for the park being closed.

Wasn’t scared at all. Knew my camera would defend my honor if need be.

Summer Solstice Full Moon


The Summer Solstice brought a full moon this year.
Before shooting the above video I took a couple shots at the end of the year’s longest day.

70 and HAIL – video


While shooting timelapses at Veteran’s Park, weather quickly went from sunny and summer-esque to brief decent-sized hail and back to sunny again.

The hail turned vicious quickly and I wasn’t sure how much worse it was going to get, I was pretty worried for about 15 seconds there.

Later that day a thunderstorm loomed over downtown in the distance. Oddly close considering we didn’t get any rain or danger from them.

Fireworks Photos

Took some fireworks photos of Festa Italiana’s display during the last night of the fest July 2014. Taken from the water just outside of the Lake Shore Park launch area, downtown Milwaukee on LakeMichigan. As well as of the Big Bang from near the War Memorial and Milwaukee Art Museum.

The people on the boat in front of us seemed to have a great and romantic time:
