After many failed attempts to photograph this Peregrine Falcon racing across the sky, I finally got a shot when it perched on the cliff-side to rest a moment… giving us both an opportunity to relax our tired wings : )
Powerful and fast-flying, the Peregrine Falcon hunts medium-sized birds, dropping down on them from high above in a spectacular stoop. They were virtually eradicated from eastern North America by pesticide poisoning in the middle 20th century. After significant recovery efforts, Peregrine Falcons have made an incredible rebound and are now regularly seen in many large cities and coastal areas.
Peregrine Falcons are very strong fliers and often reported to be the fastest bird in the world. Their average cruising flight speed is 24 to 33 mph, increasing to 67 mph when in pursuit of prey. When stooping, or dropping on prey with their wings closed, it's been calculated that Peregrine Falcons can achieve speeds of 238 mph.
When hunting, Peregrines start by watching from a high perch or by flapping slowly or soaring at great height. Stoops begin 300–3,000 feet above their prey and end either by grabbing the prey or by striking it with the feet hard enough to stun or kill it. They then catch the bird and bite through the neck to kill it.
Peregrine Falcons do have other hunting methods, including level pursuit, picking birds out of large flocks, and occasionally even hunting on the ground. Though the Peregrine Falcon is an elite predator, it does have its own predators, including Gyrfalcons, Eagles, Great Horned Owls, and other Peregrines.
The Peregrine Falcon is one of the most widespread birds in the world. It is found on all continents except Antarctica, and on many oceanic islands.
The oldest recorded Peregrine Falcon was at least 19 years, 9 months old, when it was identified by its band in Minnesota in 2012, the same state where it had been banded in 1992.

A slight reworking of a previous shot.
It's a winter (June 2014) photo from Spitzkoppe in Namibia - probably the best country in the world to do night photography. The Core of the Milky Way really doesn't get more accessible than in Namibia.
EXIF: 14mm; f/16; 30secs; ISO1600.

Foto is bewerkt met de nieuwste versie van Lightroom. De nieuwe module voor ruisonderdrukking is een hele verbetering. Deze foto bevatte namelijk zeer veel storend beeldruis en is nu grotendeels tot normale proporties gereduceerd.

The Milky Way core season is slowly approaching its end here in Switzerland. September is the last month with more than just a few minutes of core visibility.
For my first September Milky Way shooting, I revisited this spot, where I captured Orion in January this year. Not only the sky was totally different now, but also the rest of the conditions. The snow-covered landscape was replaced by lush green meadows and forests and the pleasant late summer evening was some 35°C warmer than the bitter cold winter night.
The Milky Way was nicely positioned between the picturesque chapel and the scenic twin peaks above the town of Schwyz and a dissipating thunderstorm was adding some drama to the scene. It was the perfect night to capture a huge panorama of one of my favorite views in Switzerland.
The light on the foreground was cast by a nearby house. I considered reshooting the scene after the lights were extinguished, but decided that I like how the yellow-orange stripe and the dark shadows of the fence seem to mirror the band of the Milky Way in the sky.

Hi everyone!
I know I know posting late again but I was out for a beer :D, I know I know I have to go to work in few hours :P anyways, here is my today' shot inspired by Rachel Juggins, Sarah Jane 1986 and loopoboy 2.0 (CHECK out their Photostreams).
So here is my modest try as the title says... using my lens EFS 18-55mm (and the only one I have :P) It is not as good as the shots from my contacts but I promise I will try to improve it, maybe not this year but on the next one :D this year I wanted just to give it a try :)
Well, now time to go to bed...
Good night you all!!!

This battle is pretty unfair, because the poor cricket is attacked by two scorpions. Fully focused on his earthly adversary, he does not seem to be aware of the looming danger from above...

*NOT A COMPOSITE IMAGE - ONLY ONE EXPOSURE*
Taken the night before the Perseids Meteor Shower peaks. What is amazing is that the glow below is from Phoenix. Phoenix is over 150 miles away and the light pollution reaches all the way to Flag.
Update:
I have received a lot of comments asking what was my process for this shot. First things first - Tripod and cable release. I set up the camera on my tripod and aimed it south (the glow is the city of phoenix as stated above). From there, I adjusted my settings to make sure as much light as possible could hit the sensor (high iso and ap 2.8). Then the never ending focus cycle begun. The infinity mark on cameras does not give you sharp stars as this mark changes due to the conditions you are shooting in. So, set it to Infinity, take a shot, review it, and change the focus ever so slightly and repeat until the stars are crisp. And there you have it! Post processing was very very simple on this shot. The main thing was editing the exposure curve in photoshop to bring out the Milky Way a little more (Flagstaff is a Dark Sky City, which means our light pollution is almost none - check out flagstaffdarkskies.org/idsc.htm for more). Other than that, photoshop editing was only tiny adjustments to please my OCD.
