This was taken a few nights after the last image. I was looking for something specific with this shot, but I’m not sure if I got it. I was just getting warmed up after two or three frames and my Hasselblad jammed on me. It was the first time it had happened so I didn’t know how to fix it at the time- so, once again I had to limp home with only a couple of frames exposed.

The last few months have not been good to me in regards to night photography. I’ve gotten out quite a few times, but without fail I’ve run into problems that have prevented any serious photography… first the keys locked in the car. This night was the jammed Hasselblad. On another occasion I left the shutter release behind, and yet another I found myself with no tripod…

But, the full moon is approaching again. The weather’s been nasty down here the last few days, but hopefully it will clear up and I can get out sometime in the next few nights to spend some time under the stars. With a little luck, I might even be able to get everything together and manage a photo or two.
