It was such a treat to stand under the stars and photograph the Milky Way during the last new moon. I'm not much of a night owl, but it was sure worth the missed sleep. What a sight and what beauty to behold!
This was taken at the end of a photography session in an old graveyard beside Old Castle Lachlan on Loch Fyne.
We are traveling together on a little spaceship. We call this ship the Earth. It Sailing Milky Way through the space-time. New Discovery from the voyage are awaiting us. This photo is just illustration of this Spaceship Earth idea.
Sail Milky Way over Park Avenue at Arches National Park Astrophotography.

I just bought an Irix 15mm f2.4 to see how it handles night shots. This is the first attempt. I did not have the time to travel to a dark location so this image was taken only about 10km out of Toowoomba City. The light pollution was terrible and it was still astronomical twilight. It seems to be ok but I think the 25 second exposure time is a bit long - if the elongated stars are trailing and not distortion or bad focusing. Well learning curve coming up - see how it goes. I took some day shots and they were great but massive vignetting. However I downloaded the lightroom irix lens profile from the irix website and it corrects it perfectly.
This shot was taken from a place off the Alpine Trail in Colorado called California Gulch. I had difficulty seeing the Milky Way with my eye but knew from some research where it would be and the camera had no trouble recording it. I like night photography and hope to have more opportunities to work in this area on my next trip west.
Stumbled on this image I took last year & thought it was too nice not to show. Processed in Lightroom 5 & Photoshop CC.
This is one of the few night sky images I successfully captured during our vacation in Bali. The image is a panorama of four continuous shots taken near the beach in Candidasa. Unfortunately, although light pollution was not an issue, cloudiness covered the beauty of the otherwise starry sky almost every night.
I want to take the opportunity to convey that Bali is paradisiacal. The Balinese people are a delight and island's beauty is nothing short of remarkable. Our driver/guide, Mr. Wayan Lia, made the trip even more enjoyable with his insight regarding each location as well as the Balinese customs and philosophy of life. This trip has been one of the most memorable my wife and I have taken!
This night sky shot near Silverton, Colorado, may be my last posting on Flickr.
If you have followed me, you know that I have been MIA lately That is because of traveling and the subsequent books and not enough time to comment on my friend's posts.
So at this point, I refuse to pay Flickr $6.99 a month. A price that will surely raise each year.
This is a 4 stitch panorama done in Lightroom CC - my first attempt with LR. Still learning...
Mt Maroon is silhouetted on the right and there were a few planes passing by.
Queensland, Australia
Went up tioga pass before the summer heat started melting the high lakes and we ended shooting at Olmstead point until milky way faded away.
It was cool to see hikers starting to climb half dome. You can see flashlights over sub dome .
3 shots of 4 mins for foreground and 10 shots of 2 mins tracked for sky.
My first real Milky Way shot with a clear view on the core.
Made with my Canon R and Irix 15 mm lens.
Shot taken in Texas. Generally I don't think power lines add to a photo, but here I like the way that they lead off to the telephone pole in the distance.
Sony A7rii Nikon 14-24, Naples Beach, 3am. First attempt at Milky Way shots, special thanks to good buddy Alex Rosen for showing me the way...
"But tell me, did the wind sweep you off your feet?
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back to the Milky Way?
And tell me, did Venus blow your mind?
Was it everything you wanted to find?
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there?"
~Train
and, yes... the wind did nearly sweep me off my feet!
Happy Milky Way Fence Friday!
This is different combination of frames for a longer panorama of the Milky Way than the previous picture which used some of the same frames. This image uses 9 x 2 frames, stiched in PS and edited in LR. Sigma lens, camera mounted to a Nodal Ninja rotator, which was mounted to a ball head and tilted so the main pivot axis lined up with the plane of the Milky Way as best as I could. The left hand end is near the horizon and has some effects from light pollution. This edit has more of the Southern Cross end in it.
Love it when a Milky Way bow comes together!
Juniper was bright in the galactic core and the Large Magellanic Cloud is bottom right (the SMC hidden behind the rocks as was Saturn).
I avoided driving down to Cathedral Rocks in the wee hours of the morning by going down the previous night to do some astro at Bombo. The skies had by ~11pm when I took these shots before getting some sleep.
I used 7 vertical fisheye shots and merged in PS and then edited in LR. Not a perfect merge but I like the final result anyway :-)
The Milky Way core reflected in Lake Wivenhoe as it set in the west last night. I've had this shot in mind for a while, so it was nice to be able to capture it last night. Panorama of 9x9 20 second exposures taken with my 6D ans Samyang 24mm lens at f/2 and 3200 iso.
Otherworldly image of milky water droplets colliding.
Special thanks to Sue Cro for all the helpful advice - keep it coming :)

Story:
Captured in the heart of the Jalapão region, this panoramic nightscape reveals the raw beauty of Brazil’s Cerrado under a pristine Bortle 1 sky. Dominating the scene is the luminous arch of the Milky Way, stretching from one horizon to the other, its core glowing with interstellar dust, emission nebulae, and countless stars. The reddish tones near the galactic center are enhanced by the use of a modified sensor, revealing prominent H-alpha regions like the Lagoon and Trifid Nebulae.
To the right, a striking column of Zodiacal Light rises—sunlight scattered by interplanetary dust—perfectly aligned with the ecliptic. Subtle green and red hues of airglow add a surreal touch to the lower sky, interacting with the warm tones of the dunes and the reflecting waters of the meandering stream. Buriti palms and native vegetation complete the composition, grounding this celestial spectacle in the unique landscape of the Brazilian savanna.
This image is not a blend but a multi-frame panorama, precisely captured to preserve the spatial relationships of both the terrestrial and astronomical elements. A technical and artistic tribute to one of the darkest skies in South America.

And if you have not yet had enough of the morning and evening you can stay up late to photograph the milky way performing beautifully over the glacier at Lake Louise. This for me was a first and I am sure best is yet to come another day. And I missed seeing the little white bit in the left corner :-(
