Using a green laser to see where the telescope is pointing.
This is an individual frame from the timelapse that I posted earlier today. 20 sec exposure with a Samyang 14mm lens at f/2.8 and 6400 iso.

I keep being inesorably attracted by this kind of landscape views, just close to my home environment.
The edges. The light and the darkness.
The frozen land and the warm embrace of the first light.
The flat ground and the steep hills.
It's only one moment: everything just happens and lines up perfectly.
Sometimes I just feel that it was written. And I was so lucky to be at the right time in the right place, with the right mood. But when every thing lines up just perfectly, I realize that it can't be no more a matter of Chance. It's a matter of will. And the strive for the need of romance.

Gli allineamenti perfetti
Continuo a sentirmi inesorabilmente attratto da questo tipo di immagini, più o meno tipiche della mia terra. I confini. La luce, il buio.
Il terreno congelato e il caldo abbraccio della prima luce.
L'orizzonte piatto e le colline ripide.
E' solo un momento: ogni cosa accade e si allinea perfettamente.
Qualche volta mi sembra quasi che sia stato già scritto. E che sono stato solo fortunato nel trovarmi al posto giusto, al momento giusto, con il giusto animo. Ma quando ogni cosa risulta perfettamente allineata, mi accorgo che non è sempre frutto del caso. E' un atto cosciente. E lo sforzo per la ricerca di un po' di poesia.
Da ascoltare: Norah Jones, Sunrise

As we approach the Jupiter/Venus conjunction on 2 March, the Moon and the two planets align as they slip down to the south west soon after sunset.
It's not often that I manage to capture an image that exceeds my expectations.
I noticed this alignment of pine trees a couple of months ago, and wondered how it might look with the sun setting perfectly within the gap.
There are only a few days in any year where it would be possible to capture a photo exactly like this. Would the weather play along with my plans?
I've been returning to this exact spot most evenings this past week... hoping to capture my pre-visualised shot. Every previous attempt was a failure, with the sun disappearing behind the clouds before it appeared in my frame.
But then yesterday evening I got everything that I was hoping for... and more. I'm stoked! :)
The stars burn above this puddle of the Cottonwood Lakes to the great amusement of the cheering frogs. Three images stacked manually in photoshop.
M357 works up the 2% grade of Steelton Hill on the new double track alignment. At the bottom of the photo is the old single track route that curved much more than the new line.
This evening's epic afterglow!

The main event last night was the full moon rise, which is called the Strawberry or the Honey moon . I found a great spot away from the main photographers, but just enough to get a clear shot of the Golden Gate Bridge, TransAmerica building and the moon above the bridge. (you can see a little people vignetting on the bottom right and left corners)
Once in a lifetime appearance. Next one will not reappear for another 46 years!
From my post-rain photo walk last week. I've photographed this location before but the wet pavement looked too cool to pass up. This was with the TT Artisan 23mm

Carnac stones are an exceptionally dense collection of megalithic sites around the village of Carnac, in Brittany, consisting of alignments, dolmens, tumuli and single menhirs. More than 3,000 prehistoric standing stones were hewn from local rock and erected by the pre/proto-Celtic people of Brittany, and are the largest such collection in the world. Most of the stones are within the Breton village of Carnac, but some to the east are within La Trinité-sur-Mer. The stones were erected at some stage during the Neolithic period, probably around 3300 BC, but some may date to as old as 4500 BC.

A more representative image of our solstice paddle (compared with the more artistic post: "Eyeing the Sun"). Trillium pond leads to a marshy section in the distance. Unfortunately it's now unpaddleable due to heavy grow of aquatic weeds. Mary is doing a cross bow rudder stroke to set the bow of the canoe in alignment with the sun.
A rare daylight NYS&W HAN-1 heads west through Franklin Lakes, NJ. The "missing link" of I-287 between Montville, NJ and Suffern, NY was still under construction in this March 1993 view. The Susquehanna main had recently been relocated to the alignment seen here due to this construction project. The original alignment roughly paralleled the far side of I-287 where the distant buildings are located and would have crossed I-287 near the head end of HAN-1. This view is not possible today due to tree growth along the right of way.

This “selfie” of the James Webb Space Telescope primary mirror was created using a specialised pupil imaging lens inside of the NIRCam instrument that was designed to take images of the primary mirror segments instead of images of space. This configuration is not used during scientific operations and is used strictly for engineering and alignment purposes. In this case, the bright segment was pointed at a bright star, while the others aren’t currently in the same alignment. This image gave an early indication of the primary mirror alignment to the instrument.

As 2011 winds down, I want to thank all of you who have supported me and my photography. I couldn't have done it without you!
This year saw fellow photographer Joshua Cripps and I teach many full workshops to groups of great and enthusiastic photographers. What a blast! Another sold out workshop this past Saturday was our last outing of the year, but hopefully soon, we will have some new dates and new locations for 2012.

This is another take on the same Cuban Lily that I posted a few weeks back. Taken at Longwood Gardens with the Sony FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro G OSS Lens.

I love these old "Bear" signs -- they're cute and fun. The typo on the one sign ("alinement") does irk me. I worked for years as an editor so it's just natural that typos bug the heck out of me lol
UPDATE: So "alinement" is an alternative spelling. Perhaps it's regional, as I've never seen it spelled that way here in Canada.
