Every year in October something amazing happens... the trees lose their leaves! Every year this happens, and every year people lament the loss of the leaves. I too am sad to see them go, but a part of me also looks forward to it. For one thing, it means that winter will soon be here with all of its wonders, not the least of which is ice, one of my favorite photographic subjects! It also means that the opportunities for photographing the night sky beneath the tree canopy are now plentiful. With no leaves to block the view of the stars, the world beneath the trees becomes an incredible environment now bathed in starlight. I especially love the look of maple trees against the night sky. Their trunks almost always have an intriguing shape and make for wonderful silhouettes against the backdrop of the Milky Way Galaxy. So, get out there and enjoy the new views of the night sky!
