The recent 'Harvest Moon' from under the Severn Bridge.
Which let's be honest, is just a normal full moon!
It was at a nice height though, and the bridge seemed a good place to see it.
Not sure why the file shows 1 second exposure.
It was 15 or 20!
El M48 Patton es un carro de combate, tercer tanque medio de la serie Patton, que recibieron este nombre por el General George S. Patton, comandante del Tercer Ejército estadounidense durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial y uno de los militares estadounidenses que abogaba por el empleo de carros de combate en el campo de batalla. El M48 Patton también sirvió como tanque intermedio hasta ser sustituido por el primer "carro de combate principal" del Ejército de los Estados Unidos
I linked up with Henry Lawes and Paul C Stokes for a spot of photography at Aust. Never shot the Severn bridge from the Bristol side so was a bit of a kid in a candy shop at the prospect of a new composition. Cheers for a great evening chaps!
Sorry, have been a bit distracted with other things the past few days, so will catch up with you all over the coming week. Whatever you are up to, have yourselves a great weekend!
I'm sure the general would have enjoyed seeing his namesake tank in such a pretty, tasteful and genteel setting.

The K2A2 흑표 (Black Panther-Heuk Pyo) is a Korean Main Battle Tank designed and manufactured by 현대로템 (Hyundai Rotem) for the Republic of Korea Army. It was designed as a fourth generation replacement for the M48 Patton tanks previously in service. In 2016, multiple problems were identified with the base model's internal operating system, as well as the loading mechanism and the main cannon. Two variants were produced and introduced; the K2A1 and the K2A2. The A2 model is the most advanced version, using a hydraulic suspension system, modified M256 120mm main cannon (designated KM256), and an upgraded engine block capable of propelling the tank at speeds of 80km/h on paved ground and 65km/h in off-road terrain. These upgrades come at a price, however. The most advanced tank in the world costs a whopping 11 billion Won (approx. 9.2 million USD).
Big thanks to Evan, Christian, and Andrew for helping me make a few final touches on this tank. (And the JJ bros for helping me fix the depth of field problem I was having :) )
Oh yeah, and a song for those of you who stuck around long enough: The Chaser-Infinite

A dynamic square format composition of the Severn Bridge, shot through the windscreen of a moving car. It's not the most photogenic of bridges but you have to admire it's structural elegance.

From Wikipedia : "The Severn Bridge (Welsh: Pont Hafren), sometimes also called the Severn–Wye Bridge, is a motorway suspension bridge spanning the River Severn and River Wye between Aust, South Gloucestershire (just north of Bristol) in England, and Chepstow, Monmouthshire in South East Wales, via Beachley, Gloucestershire, a peninsula between the two rivers. It is the original Severn road crossing between England and Wales, and took three-and-a-half years to construct at a cost of £8 million. It replaced the Aust ferry.
The bridge was opened on 8 September 1966, by Queen Elizabeth II, who hailed it as the dawn of a new economic era for South Wales. The bridge was granted Grade I listed status on 26 November 1999.
From 1966 to 1996, the bridge carried the M4 motorway. Upon the completion of the Second Severn Crossing, the motorway from Olveston (England) to Magor (Wales) was renamed the M48."

A panorama of the Milky Way on a February winter night over the Badlands of Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta. The panorama extends from Canis Major low on the horizon to Perseus at top near the zenith. Orion is at right of centre, with Gemini to the left and Taurus and Auriga above Orion. Mars is the bright reddish object in Taurus aboce similarly coloured but dimmer Aldebaran, itself amid the Hyades star cluster. The blue Pleiades is at upper right. Sirius is the bright star at bottom. The image takes in the complete Winter Hexagon (aka the Winter Circle) of bright stars.
The Milky Way is peppered with red nebulas, notably the large curving arc of Barnard's Loop, a suspected supernova remnant in Orion. The lowest stretches of the Loop get lost in the bright red airglow. The bright Orion Nebula shines in Orion's Sword, while east (left) of Orion is the round Rosette Nebula in Monoceros. At top is the finger-like California Nebula in Perseus. Several Messier star clusters also show up along the Milky Way.
The cyan-tinted Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) is above centre amid the Taurus Dark Clouds.
Bands of red and yellow-green airglow tint the sky toward the horizon, as well as the glows from distant towns, notably Medicine Hat at centre. Some light haze added natural star glows — I did not use a starglow diffusion filter this night. But I did shoot the sky segments though an URTH broadband light pollution reduction filter, to help make the nebulas pop out more.
This is a stitch of 6 segments (using Adobe Camera Raw) for the sky with segments taken at 15° intervals, each 1 minute with the tracker motor on and at ISO 1600. The resulting sky panorama is blended with a stack of 4 untracked images for the ground, each 2 minutes at ISO 800, taken about 40 minutes after the sky segments, when the waning gibbous Moon was rising to light the landscape with a warm side lighting. So this is a time blend. But the camera was not moved between image sets. All were with the Canon RF28-70mm lens at f/2.8 and 28mm, on the filter-modified Canon R camera from AstroGear. This was on the Star Adventurer tracker with an Alyn Wallace V-plate to keep the camera level and aid framing the panorama.
Orton glow effects added to the ground with Luminar Neo, and to the sky with Radiant Photo and f/64 Diffusion actions. Star spikes added with AstronomyTools actions.
I hope you all had an excellent Christmas and New Year? The holiday for me was spent with my family and as my children are a little older it was nice to make some new traditions. My eldest son (Eli) has really understood what it was all about, so was a really lovely moment seeing his face light up at every available opportunity. My youngest (Jacob), well he is happy when his brother is happy and whilst he cannot talk, he did extend to getting cross and pointing at the tree when the lights were not on. He also took his first steps on Boxing day and was walking across the room a couple of days later. Surprisingly fast although Eli refers to him as a 'walking zombie', lol!
Anyway, back to 2013. Well it’s not tradition if I don't start the year with a shot of one of the nearby bridges. Actually, I had planned on it being Bigsweir bridge in Wales, but it was flooded when Paul C Stokes and I arrived. So a quick drive up the road to Beachley to catch sunrise at Severn Bridge.
Whilst I have not been commenting, I have been looking at all your wonderful work. It would be a mammoth task to try and catch up, so going to focus on stuff posted from here on. I wish you all the best for 2013, it's been a real pleasure guys. I look forward to seeing your forthcoming work but also meeting up with some new faces! :-)
