Hey everybody hope all is well.
Here's a fun shot that I took last year during the "Lincoln County Photo Festival".
I was out scouting locations and checking alignments for my friend David when I passed this cool abandoned water tower on the road in. Of course I hopped out and like a gun from a holster whipped out PhotoPills and went to work looking for possible alignments.
The moonrise timing for this night was horrible but I managed to pull out a full Milky Way impression on my sensor 10 minutes after moonrise which most would say is impossible. It took a few attempts in photoshop with different techniques to bring the flat bluish looking sky back into a natural multicolored Milky Way sky but it worked. The actual image data is there, it just needs to pushed around "heavily" and I found that using a few different exposures and some of the blend modes in photoshop with some minor local editing did the trick.
***Here's a new feature I will be adding to select photos on my flickr stream.
To see a before/after sample in a slider window click the link below. Feel free to browse around my website, more content coming soon, as soon as I can figure out how to get it out of my brain and onto the webpage, LOL.
Wait, wait, wait!!!! Fav my photo first, hehe.

I'm stoked!!! I think my account is fixed.... other than being unable to receive notifications to my mobile device (which is more important too me than the laptop) it seems to be working.
Oh well, some good stuff is better than no good stuff, I guess. It appears my account is stuck in limbo between the old yahoo account screen name and the new login info that I typed in when they made me switch over. Since Smugmug was going to be the new "foster parent" to Flickr I thought I would be a good sonny and purchase an account there and start selling my photos on the web instead of just local art shows and word of mouth.
So, I sent the support "Heros" over at Flickr/Smugmug team an email three weeks ago and have received no reply. My account started working but I haven't received an email reply yet.
So if your account is broken, go buy a Smugmug sight and they might fix your Flickr account. Weird!!
Head on over and check out my spiffy Smugmug sight and see if you would like to sell your photos there as well.
Bonus!!!
If you are a member of "The Nature Photography Network" you can get a 20% discount. (I'm such a cheap skate), Hehe.

This was taken last month. Seen here during civil twilight and only partially eclipsed. Shot w good friend Joshua Crites. Two frames taken 1 second apart and focus stacked for optimal viewing.
A very brief break in the weather this afternoon ... made it to one of my 'go to' locations - Boonerah Point on Lake Illawarra, Shellharbour, Wollongong. I'd checked and the sun was due to set pretty much due in line with the pier, didn't quite get the blast of light I was hoping for but a couple of rays made my day .. :-)
If you know me well, you know I love a good moon alignment. This was taken a few years back when moonsets timed with the belt of Venus sky color gradient. Have a great weekend Flickr Fam!
From Left edge tiny Comet Catalina, Venus, Mars, Moon Jupiter top Right. If you zoom in 100% there is tiny star on the left of Venus that is Comet Catalina
The sun rises over the distant peaks of the Lake District lighting up the clouds above in an array of beautiful colours, on a calm morning at the Point of Ayre. Captured with my telephoto lens, the alignment with Winkie Lighthouse only really works for a few short weeks each year. A wonderful way to start the day 👌

In order to create an authentically powerful life, you need to align your personality with your soul. ~ GZ and there it was..few years later and the alignment has happened in front of my eyes. Just like that..
The crescent moon finds a gap in the clouds as a magnificent sunset lights up over the darkly looming heights of the dunes, Great Sand Dunes National Park, Colorado. My youngest son requested a trip to the Dunes in a rented RV for his birthday present a couple of years ago when this photo was made. Bless him for having the prescience to get us all here for this moment.
Back to the current day, a number of wildfires are roiling the typically blue Colorado skies with smoke that is almost as pretty at sunset as the clouds you see here. The downside, of course, is the loss of forest, life, and livelihood. Today the humidity finally increased and it began to rain in some small measure. After the latest conflagration leaped over the Continental Divide, perhaps the forest on the eastern side of Rocky Mountain National Park will not burn too severely, but who can be sure. It is troubling to know that years like this are but the harbinger of what is to come if we do not act quickly to reduce our economic dependence on fossil fuels. Forests have a hard time absorbing carbon from the atmosphere when they are incinerated and become a source of carbon themselves.

The sunset burn w/low fog was predicted by Yiupai sunrise/sunset forecast service.

I love these trees - at night the dominance of the bright light is hard to adjust to - I took a few different angles and found that flaring and rotten exposure were big issues. Then I thought i'd work with the flare and while I was setting up a man walked through the frame. I thought - yep this shot needs a peron in it, so self timer on and in I walked.
I was not overly hopeful of taking a decent shot of the Sturgeon Full Moon (Supermoon) a few days ago. I had pinpointed a good spot on a hill 2.5 miles away, to photograph the National Wallace Monument at 600mm, but not a place I had ever visited before. However as the bright red moon made an appearance we were standing on exactly the right spot.
