High Falls and Comet NEOWISE



















It sure was fun photographing Comet NEOWISE.  I really got drawn into it and enjoyed it much more than I thought I would, spending 5 whole nights outside over the course of a week and a half viewing and photographing it. 

This photo was made on July 23rd at 12:30 AM in Grand Portage State Park, MN. As the comet moves further away from Earth and as full moon approaches, each night gets brighter and the comet becomes more difficult to see.  Soon it will be impossible to see with the naked eye. I feel very fortunate to have photographed it on some really amazing nights in a variety of locations. This could very well go down as my most favorite subject photographed in 2020.
