A Year in Photos -- Week Thirty-six

We have lots of great posts this week. In fact, they're so good that if I gave you five this week, your head may explode. Literally, not figuratively. Instead, I'm going to do three this week, you know, as a favor.

Back on July 4th, I took a trip up to Grass Valley, California. So this week will have the star trails image I captured that trip, some photos from the Empire Gold Mine, and some macros I captured later that week. With the star trails image, I'll also explain how I did so that you can try one yourself. So, without further delay, here are some images from this week.


This is NOT the star trails image we'll analyze, though I'll explain how to get a star trails image with film as well as digital.
