I was unable to get out to shoot the moon last night, so here is a shot I took back on March 15th of this year.
This is a 3 shot panorama in the portrait position taken with a 600mm lens.
Well I'm off, and starting my drive up to Mount Rainier today. I'll be back in a week.
Thanks for Looking!

If you zoom in twice, you can see that Mars is right between M20, the Triffid Nebula, and M8, the Lagoon Nebula. If I'd known this, I would have switched to my telephoto lens and got a close-up, like I did with Saturn and the two nebula.

Tried different exposures but went with this silhouette version in the end.
The Female Red-tailed Hawk adjusts not only herself, but her tail feathers as well, guess they were out of alignment.
Chapel of the Madonna di Vitaleta, Val d'Orcia, Tuscany, Italy.
This image is from my Tuscany series. Please view my other Tuscany images in my Tuscany set.
The Chapel of the Madonna di Vitaleta is located in the hills of the Val d'Orcia on the road between San Quirico d'Orcia and Pienza in Tuscany, Italy, and is one of the most beautiful and evocative places in this incredible territory, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The small chapel, framed by two rows of cypress trees was built in the spot where legend says the Virgin Mary appeared to a shepherdess. In 1533, a statue of the Virgin Mary by Andrea della Robbia was installed in the church, today conserved in the Church of Madonna di Vitaleta in San Quirico.
This shot was planned using PhotoPills. While I had plenty of time for setup I really squandered the opportunity by not exposing for the sun (as much as that is possible). Live and learn. Still, I want to post this image to share what is possible using PhotoPills.

With the 2012/2013 Aurora season coming to a disappointing close, who knows what the 2013/2014 season will hold! So many elements have to align for such an awesome sight to be seen from the west of Ireland. In fact this panorama taken in March 2012 may have been a once in a lifetime event. Delighted to have witnessed it from the comfort of my own home, priceless!

The 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-Celtic people of Brittany, and form 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 BCE, but some may date to as early as 4500 BCE.

Les alignements de Carnac sont situés sur la commune de Carnac dans le département du Morbihan en Bretagne. Il s'agit d'un site d'alignements mégalithiques exceptionnel (la région de Carnac réunissant la plus forte concentration de mégalithes du monde1) constitué d'alignements de menhirs, de dolmens et d'allées couvertes et réparti sur plus de quatre kilomètres. Les alignements de Carnac sont les ensembles mégalithiques les plus célèbres et les plus impressionnants de cette période avec près de 4 000 pierres levées vers 4500 ans avant notre ère.
The skewed perspective looking out of a concrete bunker that is sinking into the sand at Warden Point on the Isle of Sheppey, UK. There are three bunkers here that functioned as a radar station and sat on the cliff tops. Coastal erosion has ensured that they didn't stay there.
The ring doves are still waiting at the top of the trees so they can see when food is arriving. These two managed to get themselves into an intriguing pose this morning whilst fog swirled around them.
The alignment of a community, is how I saw these house floating in the air at the Tulsa Living Arts, hanging by fishing line with white background, added the texture and the lines disappear.
Walking through cemeteries is a multi-dimensional experience. At times I'm caught up in the energy of the place. Other times I react to how my presence here influences my emotions. And often I have this odd reaction to the geometry of shapes and angles. It's like walking through a life size chess board. Grim looking pawns, rooks, knights and queens in all directions, forever locked in their last move. The stones and monuments cause ever-changing sight lines and negative spaces as I move about. I often crouch down, preferring to shoot through the stones rather than over them. The sense of texture pleases me; I'm not sure why. I also love the sense of crowding and depth created by overlapping stones. Viewing the monuments down at ground level really reinforces the realization of just how much stone has been brought in here. There's also the corridor effect of shooting something in the distance by finding the perfect visual pathway to get there. Inches matter in this process. Even slight variations in movement cause shifts in these alignments. When it works, it looks easy. Like snapping the final piece into a jigsaw puzzle. More often though, it resembles the puzzle when you first lift the box lid and see 1,000 disconnected pieces.
Beyond the fountain, you can see Prince-Regent Street, seen from the viewpoint of the Angel of Peace column, which owes its name to Prince-Regent Luitpold who had it built in 1890.
Para lá da fonte, consegue ver-se a Rua do Príncipe Regente, observada a partir do miradouro da coluna do Anjo da Paz, e que deve o seu nome ao príncipe-regente Luitpold que a mandou construir em 1890.
A fantastic night for a photo shoot in our nation's capital! A storm ran through the region earlier that day that had just cleared previous to my stay at the Linc Memorial. Ideal conditions for clear skies and color! And the moon decided to join the party. Lucky timing indeed...
It was totally unexpected, I only had enough time to get to this spot before the sun went down. To my great surprise, the sun showed up and there was only another tripod behind me :)

Northwestern* Milky Way “erupting” over the 3 Patriarchs (Abraham, Isaac & Jacob) in Zion Nat’l Park. I took this single exposure 4 nights ago with a fisheye lens—pointing almost straight up, which also captured a big cottonwood tree and part of a canyon wall behind me.
*That’s Cepheus, Cassiopeia and Camelopardalis rising up between the Isaac & Jacob peaks. Note Andromeda Galaxy just above the horizon, between Abraham & Isaac. Directly halfway up is the 7-star Pleiades constellation, above that is Hyades, and above that, in the middle of the tree branches, is Orion.
EXIF: Single exposure with a Canon 5DM3 • Rokinon 12mm f/2.8 Fisheye • f/2.8, 25 sec, ISO 6400.

More of my night photography techniques (my specialty) are available in my ebook, Milky Way NightScapes, which 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.
