Last night, the Northern Lights were in the sky.
I was dressed en femme and told my wife that I wanted to take a ride and find somewhere I could take good photos. I grabbed my camera bag, and tripod. I told her that I was going to find somewhere with less light-pollution, and would be back in a while. Surprisingly, she didn’t protest at all or express any concern for the way I was dressed. (She generally wants me to keep it inside our home, usually)
I got to a spot that suit me, most of the show had passed and I was about to give up and go home. I decided to set up anyway and see what I could get. I was happily surprised that my camera picked up more than my naked eye could.
When I got home, I plugged my laptop into our living room TV’s HDMI input to share my raw pics with my wife. She still didn’t seem upset and was impressed by the imagery I captured. The way I was dressed never came up.
I didn’t think about it until I was driving home – last night also happened to be St. Patrick’s Day – there was increased law enforcement presence out and about. I did notice a few on my way to where I was going.
I did have my own close call while I was taking photos. A car approached and I could see brake lights lighting up the trees behind it. Soon, the light bar’s strobes could be seen behind the car, but not the front. Then a spotlight briefly hit me. I just about s*** my panties!
I think they realized that I was a harmless photographer and quickly turned off the strobes, spotlight, and headlights and slowly drove past me. It was a sheriff’s car. I’m pretty sure they weren’t close enough that I would have been made.
I didn’t mention that part to my wife, nor do I plan to.
