The crescent moon rising after sunset at The Bungle Bungles (or more correctly, Purnululu National Park) was the perfect way to cap off a day of exploring the amazing rock formations that are found in this remote part of Australia.
I discovered by accident that over the past few days many of my contacts images have not been appearing in my feed, so apologies to those of you I've missed. I'm trying to back track as I can.
An architectural snippet of the Zuidas. A place that is evolving into Amsterdam's prime location for international businesses and modern homes - Zuidas, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
The night sky provides fascinating patterns and colours. The lighthouse at Grosnez, Jersey is situated in the foreground.
Milky Way over “Dragon Arch” (my name for a unique view of Sunset Arch in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument). One exposure. I posted a more traditional view of this arch yesterday —which composition do you prefer?
This was taken two weeks ago during a workshop I was conducting (with the help of Phill Monson). I love this remote, and not-so-popular area (yet)! Four more workshops left this year, but two are already sold out.
My new ebook, Milky Way NightScapes, gives extensive details on my style of starry night landscape photography. Four chapters cover planning, scouting, forecasting star/landscape alignment, light painting, shooting techniques and post processing.

Obviously Paddy realsies that he should be going with the 'flow' of the strata. Behind looking back at the ridgeline we'd just traversed
Three of my favorite shots from the planetary alignment on February 20, 2015. Pigeon Point Lighthouse is in the foreground. The advancing fog bank caused the composition to change, with the planets and moon ducking in and out of sight. Finally, it swallowed them all.

BNSF 3842 descends the 1% grade on Main 1 through Rio Puerco, New Mexico on the Gallup Subdivision. This was the original alignment of the Santa Fe's 'Belen cutoff' from 1902. The newer Main 2 track, built as part of a grade reduction program, turns towards the left side of the image, and then is seen winding along the base of the mesa in the background.
This is very much a location where the 'early bird gets the worm'. Even at 8am there was already some visible heat distortion on this shot, compared to my first shot an hour earlier.
Photographing in a former prison - De Koepel (the Dome) in Haarlem, the Netherlands. I was particularly interested in the way people were moving within the lines of the recreation / sports area, looking down from a high point.
One interesting thing about this period (autumn) is that the moon is no longer setting in the west like during the month of June, no, our satellite sets exactly halfway between south and west.
On 28.10.14 this halfway was pretty much mathematically perfect, the moon (phase 36%) was setting south-west shortly after dusk, allowing to observe its slow passage behind the north face of Monviso (3.842 m) exactly during the sunset time.
Here you can see the dorsal of the mountain slightly exposed to the west that takes fire at sunset. As happened during my first visit the previous week, again a crystal clear sky allowed the slanting rays of the setting sun to express themselves in full power, without blocks, deviations or attenuations, that the presence of clouds could generate.
Within a few hours the moon will fall behind the horizon, right between Punta Roma and Punta Udine, allowing the night to get really dark.
This photo, observed at the original high-resolution, allows to see clearly both the crosses on the summit of Monviso and on its secondary peak: the Viso di Vallanta (it's the most geometrically marked part of the ridge, right under the moon) for its form also known as Dado di Viso... in italian "dado" means nut/dice.

I usually try to line up the moon and Wisconsin's capitol from across Lake Mendota or Monona but a few weeks ago I decided to change it up a bit. I walked to the top of a parking garage near State St and hoped that my calculations for alignment would pan out. They did and I couldn't be happier. The hardest part was finding a proper exposure to balance out the light of the rapidly brightening moon and the dome of the capitol. I've found that the best time to shoot is just after sunset when there is still an ambient glow from the setting sun, helping to balance the two subjects.

The photographers and people in the lower left give a sense of scale.
Didn't want to leave out our Brown Pelican representatives on the bayou even though I didn't see near as many of them this year! This one was checking to make sure that all of his feathers were in proper alignment as well!! Taken on Horsepen Bayou!

I was up at 4:30 a.m. but did not really go out to the backyard until well after 5:00 (it was 56'ish degrees and windy!). And although I saw that it was overcast, I set up the camera on a tripod anyway, hoping that the sky might clear up before the sunrise "erases" any visible trace of the alignment of Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, Venus and Mercury. But it was not to be. Oh, well...there's still tomorrow.
