25-JAN-2004 Ron Lutz 2nd

01-25-2004

Have you ever noticed that no matter how frigidly cold it can be outside, when you're focussed on getting an interesting photo you just do not feel the cold until you're done???

I just found out that I captured Orion and his dog, Sirius (Canis Majoris) in this photo. The room is being lit by Cat's TV, which she has fallen asleep to. It's almost 1 AM and I'm outside shooting photos instead of in there sleeping myself.... LOL

Canon EOS 10D ,Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM

Very pretty image, Ron - unusual colors and a VERY dramatic sky. Gorgeous!

It's light pollution from the south hitting a thin layer of clouds.

Oh, and the cold thing. Yeah, I noticed the other day that when I finally put the camera away my fingers were practically frozen!

Where did that red cast come from? Not the northern lights in PA? Maybe? Very cool. I like sky photos and Orion is my favorite constellation.

The red cast over the house is awesome. This has an surreal quality about it with the white light. Very cool.

That is an amazing picture!! How did you ever keep from freezing your bum off! And I agree that the light int he window is the perfect touch.
