The brilliant planet Venus (aka “the morning star”) teamed up with the moon in the evening sky on April 26, 2020, with an angular distance of only 6.7° between them when shot.
The 35mm-equivalent focal length used was as short as 208 mm only (130 mm on an APS-C sensor), in order for both brightest objects to be simultaneously present in one frame, but not at the frame’s extreme far edges (for lens distortion to be kept within acceptable limits). Any larger magnification would separate the two celestial objects. Aldebaran was at a lower altitude than the moon and close to it, yet it was impossible to be included in the frame.
Of course, a beautiful seascape (or other aesthetically pleasing landscape) would have been included as interesting foreground for this shot (and a wide-angle lens would have been preferred), if the strict and totalitarian lock-down (preventing me from accessing the seaside) wasn’t imposed and enforced. At 21:37’, when this photograph was shot :
—Venus almost reached its peak brightness, glowing at a spectacular magnitude -4.23 at its crescent phase (almost “greatest illumination event”). The planet’s altitude was 23° 09’, azimuth 287° 16’ and its distance from Earth 0.46 AU.
—The waxing crescent Moon had a -8.78 visual magnitude, as it was only 12.4% illuminated, at a 20° 14’ altitude above horizon, 281° 13’ azimuth and at a 392,817 km distance from Earth.

we all have at least one....a place where you can go, where the light is just right and the feeling of being there replenishes your soul. i walk by this place almost every day while taking my girls for their required energy release. sometimes it's in the early morning, sometimes afternoon, sometimes in the night. while i always feel something here, this spot really caught my eye only recently as the winter season causes the sunrise to come from a completely different place than other times of the year. it's not always a pleasure walking the girls....but then there are times when my soul gets filled to overflowing.
Wax, metal, heat, & rust make this texture. The art department uses these sheets of metal to put out fires on burning wax. The texture created is absolute art!

Interrupting my uploads from March's London Flickr photowalk as I've run out of uploaded photos....... This is an abstract shot of 'Now Trending', next to the Now Building on the Tottenham Court Road. This is the smaller of the two spaces covered in LCD screens which show digital art installations. I always pop by if I'm in the area as it's a great source for eyecatching images.
By the way, the next London Flickr Group photowalk is being held on Saturday 24th June, more details here if that sounds something you'd be interested : www.flickr.com/groups/londonflickrgroup/discuss/721577219...

In this one i got a perfect drop and a kind of collision. I really like this composition. :o)
By request, a quick explanation about the technique.
First of all, i decide what would be the background. Then i print it as large as possible and put just behind the recipient of water, up side down.
I adjust the focus with a little syringe on the top of the recipient. ( even using f.22, with macro lens, it´s hard to enlarge the focus area, and i have to do this very carefully in the way not to touch the camera after this )
I use an infrared system to shoot the flashes at the right moment the drop falls in the water. In a dark room, i left the camera open for 1 or 2 seconds and i throw the drops. To get a really nice shot, the drop has to fall at the right place a made the focus. That´s why my pictures are sharp. Making an average, I could say that i have to shoot about 300 times to get a picture that surprises me. My secret is patience and persistence. :o)

I would love to think that I caught a shooting star here, but it’s just a plane watching all this from up above.
Somewhere in Manitoba (September 2, 2019)
I suspect there will be a few who having briefly viewed this will think 'another Short Eared Owl' eyes at the camera shot
It's in fact a Hen Harrier but nevertheless there are similarities with the owl., even in the way they hunt
