This is a little rough and i don't really like the composition but kind of cool anyway. Well it could be better. Milky Way will be rising like this again tonight with the moon down but i wont be able to make it. Bummer. Rokinon 85mm at f1.4. 3 shots and cropped quite a bit.
“The stars, like dust, encircle me
In living mists of light;
And all of space I seem to see
In one vast burst of sight”
― Isaac Asimov, “The Stars, Like Dust“
Stars in the night sky after sunset, before moonrise. This dark sky with myriad stars was my whole objective for visiting Mauna Kea. Handheld long single autoexposure braced against a car. Did not expect to get such a good photo.
Zoom way in and notice the faint stars in between the bright ones. Remember that the deep survey photos you’ve seen from Hubble have vast numbers of galaxies in each very tight field of view that includes only one or two stars, as faint as the faintest of these.
Do not feel small. You are part of the interconnected web of all existence.
“We are the Universe,
Becoming aware of itself”
—Carl Sagan
Mix of lighting while along the rim of the north side of the Grand Canyon. The warm light is from the lodge shining down ... and the white light is from my flashlight. Played around with some light painting ... this was the first attempt here where shining it on the tree there for a few seconds directly. After this played around more with comps and light painting where I added the light indirectly.
Liked this comp as it also showed that lone light from a camp down at the bottom of the Grand Canyon ... there all alone in the dark.
... and HFF, there is a fence there at the edge of the outcrop of rock to keep you from falling down into the canyon if you venture out to the overlook. Where I was standing here at the rim ... only air holding you back ;)

25x10sec (composited in sequator - Align Stars), f1.8 ISO 1600.
In photos like these with clear sky (feat. 41mpx sensor) you can easily notice the downsides of your lens.
I could have cropped the corners but I'll leave it as it is, just for the reference.
Things like blurry stars in corners you can't fix. They do get less light than the center of a sensor, so maybe that's the reason for them being blurry in corners.
All in all, I'm thrilled with this result, that I've been taking while enjoying the beautiful seashore wind in Krapanj.
This title of Asimov's SF novel comes to my mind when I see the Milky Way.
It is a part of the Milky Way but not the center.

Try DEMO first!
I had been getting a few early starts, just to try and catch what was then my home town of Stawell in a blanket of fog, but with the streetlights still partly visible in little pools of fog shrouded brightness. After five early and freezing cold mornings, this was the closest I came to what I had intended. Never quite got the full blanket of coloured light, but happy to get this. What surprised me most was the visibility of the stars over a brightly lit town. I had thought the streetlights would have created too much light pollution, but there they are!
In clear daylight, the Grampians Ranges extend across the far horizon.
Best viewed large for starry detail!
The night sky never ceases to inspire and bewilder me, the vastness of space, the thought that in this picture alone there may be just a few thousands visible and this is just a tiny portion of the night sky. Every star in view is unthinkable distances from us but they capture our imagination and also make you feel like a very insignificant part of the universe.
I got an invite last Saturday evening to join a couple of friends on a sunset, Astro and sunrise shoot without sleep and of course I'm not one for turning down a chance for a bit of fun, so I agreed. Our astro and potential milky way shoot location was Magpie mine, an abandoned lead mine in the Derbyshire peak district, a fairly dark sky area, not perfect but a decent chance of capturing something. I have been wanting to do a night time shoot ever since I purchased my very fast Sigma 18-35 f1.8 lense, just to see how good it was in capturing the night sky, I have to say I was very pleased with the results, especially as I am quite new to astro photography. We didn't have a great deal of time to make the most of the darker sky because the half moon soon rose and put paid to capturing much more of the Milky way, super practice nevertheless and I can't wait until next time.

Don't try this at home, I know this picture looks bright almost daylight but staff photography needs no moon, which means it is completely black, powerful torches do work but they don't tell you the how deep the water is, just a warning,,,,,
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

The desert wears... a veil of mystery. Motionless and silent it evokes in us an elusive hint of something unknown, unknowable, about to be revealed. Since the desert does not act it seems to be waiting -- but waiting for what? Edward Abbey
One of the desert jewels in the southern Utah desert. This little arch is located in an entrada sandstone formation north of Moab, Utah. On this night my friend JK Schow and I set up to retake shots on this arch. JK rented some fisheye lenses that worked a lot better this time, for shots taken inside the arch. We then climbed on top of the arch to get this composition.
When Edward Abbey wrote the above quote I believe he was speaking of the desert in general. With the cloaking of darkness and the added beauty of the night sky does it or does it not add to the mystery?

Fairyland is defined as a place of delicate beauty and charm. Fairies and their tales are something that we cherish and desire every time we think about its fantastic world and the magic it holds. Fairies not only showed us the amusing world through fairytales, but they taught us how good always won over evil and inspired us never to stop believing in ourselves,
“Fairies are invisible and inaudible like angels but their magic sparkles in nature.”- Lynn Holland.

Not the same as the sky
Like a dream
A sky full of stars. . .
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Then the traveler in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark;
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
