    My husband has one too. He thinks they are secretly still producing them.

    Glad you like them! All the positive comments about the night shots has me studying up to improve them.

    I like the way every time there is a beautiful starry sky shot a bunch of heavenly music starts playing. : ) And I'm glad you got that new replacement stove.

    Yeah and yeah. It's fun when I lay the music onto the editor and sometimes it seems to magically line up just perfectly with the scene.

    Great job as usual, it's beginning to feel like you have a film crew doing the photography chores, a compliment to your ever evolving editing skill set!

    My true self is the editor. The camera man role is fun. Being the director is interesting but sometimes I don't realize the right way until after it happens - so that must be why in the movies they do multiple "takes." Being the talking head is the most challenging role because it isn't natural to me. It's hard to keep alert to what I am projecting out to others because I tend to be so "in my own head" most of the time. All this together is quite a riot!

    The six or seven shooting stars was a real bonus to the sparkling night photography! You’re also giving me some ideas for a few summer days hikes.

    Loved the time lapse and still shots of the night sky. ❤ The storm was a total bust for us in Nashua. We ended up with a dusting on the grass. I guess I’m not going to complain. We need the snow in the Whites, though.

    Yes, we need new snow to cover post holes and adorn the trees. When the snow goes and the ground looks so barren and flattened and dry, it is sad like that. Needs new snow to build up until true spring when it will serve the next purpose. Seeing as how it is already mid-Feb, seems low odds of the "right" amount of snow coming now.

    Thanks for sharing your videos, really enjoying them! My hubby and I were at Mead Base Conservation Center Tuesday for a quick walk to Beede and Lower Falls after lunch. Such a beautiful area and the cows alongside the trail were beautiful. 😊

    Great time lapse night photography! Especially like the one with the twinkling star looking lights over the town. Funny how NH didn’t get any snow after all that hype about a big storm coming. Last time I was here I checked out the campsites off the parking lot. They looked nice and there was even an open and nicely kept/supplied bathroom. Thanks for taking us along!

    It was mid to high 20s but I felt so heated going uphill. Once at the summit the chill hit me! Night temps were around 20. I forgot to get a shot of the thermometer.
