Dolan Falls in Val Verde County, Texas looking north with the faint afterglow of sunset and a little light painting.
This photo is a composite of three different pictures combined in Ps. I am not a fan of composite milkyway pictures especially those lack scientific accuracy but this one is only an "art" attempt for my own inspiration. A place that doesnt really exist. Hope you like it.
Composed of 9 shots, each 30", f2.8, ISO 3200 with the Canon 700d and the Samyang 14mm f2.8 lens.
Edited in Lightroom and composed with Microsoft ICE.
The SW cliffs of Blackpool Sands mask the lighthouse flare from Start Point and enable the capture of a stunning Milky Way.
Limber Pine and Milky Way at dawn from Sunrise Point.
This is a single exposure shot.
Many thanks to everyone that views and comments on my images it's very much appreciated.
Another view of recent glow from the Southern Lights (Aurora Australis) captured from 36 degrees Sth latitude. The Milky Way has risen commandingly on the left, while on the right the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds are descending, just beyond the South Celestial Pole. The auroral glow has subsided since an earlier image, but with improved atmospheric "seeing" it could just be discerned with averted vision.

The planetary nebula Sh2-188 commonly called the Dolphin, the Leaping Dolphin, the Shrimp, or the Firefox Nebula. But to me...

Test shot for a future shoot of the river Test and the stars. Here I have ignored the 500 rule and noticable star trails, but I like them so the photo stays. This location will be a revisit for a variety of nightscape shots I would like to try out.
Lepe Lighthouse at night, formally known as the Beaulieu River Millennium beacon. It was built in 2000 and helps seafearers navigate the approach to the Beaulieu River from the Solent, which is a relatively narrow channel between Beaulieu Spit and the Lepe Foreshore.
I haven't had an opportunity to get out to do any widefield astrophotography in May due to the lock down so I am publishing this image from a year ago as some compensation.
St Michael de Rupe church standing atop Brentor is a very special spiritual place and I love being alone there in the middle of the night.
Separate pano shots for the sky and the ground using a Canon 50mmSTM @ 2.8 and blended. The light pollution from Plymouth is intense here which rather spoils what was a very clear night. The outside light from the car park toilet had been left on all night which nicely provided the illumination of the Church.
During my astrophotography trip to the Canary Islands the Tajinaste rojo were in full bloom.
Standing between these strange looking flowers in the barren volcanic landscape of the Las Cañadas caldera and seeing the starfilled sky unfold above me, evoked a feeling of being in a completely alien world. One of the spots that almost gave me goosebumps was this sloping hill, where the terrain nicely matches the angle of the rising Milky Way.
As a Swiss national I found it interesting to learn that the scientific name of the Tajinaste (Echium wildpretii), honours the 19th century Swiss botanist Hermann Josef Wildpret, who was head gardener of the famous botanical garden Jardin de Aclimatación de la Orotava (also called Botánico for short) near Puerto de la Cruz on Tenerife.

The Wings sit gracefully under a sky full of stars on a moonless night in the Bisti Badlands of New Mexico.
My last post from the Teide National Park on Tenerife showed the stunning Tajinaste Rojo. While they are the most obvious endemic flowers on Tenerife, they are not the only ones. The Rosalillo de Cumbre (Pterocephalus lasiospermus) pictured here is another example.
This beautiful shrub, coloring an otherwise barren landscape, immediately caught my eye and I was glad to find that it nicely aligned with the vertical Milky Way.

September is a special month for astrophotography in the mid northern lattitudes. The memories of the warm summer nights are still fresh and we have the last chance to capture the Dark Horse and the Milky Way core for a few hours in the evening. Winter is approaching fast though and the rise of Orion, the hunter, in the morning hours is an unmistakable sign for this. Between the MW core and Orion, Cygnus is riding high in the sky, giving even more options for nightscape compositions.
During a perfect night out with Benjamin Barakat, we had the chance to shoot this little chapel from different angles, taking advantage of all possible astronomical alignments. My favorite capture is this one with Orion, Barnards Loop, Rosette Nebula, Meissas nebulosity, the Hayades, the Pleiades, California Nebula and Mars shining brightly on the upper right.

Last weekend I had planned on head out to try and shoot some of the Perseid Meteor Shower. Unfortunately the weather in my area was terrible and I didn’t have time to travel further afield. However, the condition cleared up last night and although the main event, the peak of the meteor shower being at the weekend, is effectively over I decided to give it a go.
The location, Glen Doll, is a remote site at the southern edge of the Cairngorm National Park. I had never been there before and had planned on being there a few hours before dark to scout out a nice spot for some foreground detail. Unfortunately a combination of events delayed the journey and I arrived after dark. With no chance to scout further afield I just headed for the stream next to the site and grabbed a few shots there. I was experimenting with settings using my new 16-35 F4 L Canon lens. I’m accustomed to using an F2.8 for astro work and I was concerned that I just wouldn’t get enough light at F4. I think it worked out ok although I did have to crank the ISO higher than I would have liked and the resultant noise is a little disappointing.
That said, I’m not too unhappy with the results. Overall the meteors were a little lacking in impact. There were a few spectacular ones whilst on route and during set-up but alas none were particularly striking at the time of exposure. So the end result is a not so great shot of the Perseids but a not bad shot of the Milky Way.
A little creative license (ok a lot) used to show Nashville TN under a starry milky way night sky. I did take both the images :)

For those of you who follow along on my Facebook Page, you already know I have been in a star shooting kind of mood lately. Most of my shooting has been at night and while we are having these nice clear nights I am probably going to continue to shoot at night. I am finding it much more peaceful and calming. I will be posting several night shots this week to get me a little bit caught up on my postings here on Flickr.
Here the Milky Way shines behind Mount Hood. Hope everyone has a great week!

I can definitely recommend shooting the nature in the moonlight! It is an almost surreal experience. This one was taken in the Glaskogen nature reservation.
Thank you for viewing!
I’ve never shot sunrise here and always wanted to give it a try. I’ve done astro under the moon, and that was alright. The textures lend well to any type of high contrast light, but at night you can’t really see the display of colors that this place offers. Sunrise can be a challenge in Death Valley as there are rarely clouds. The annual precipitation here is around 2.4 inches, and this day it rained. The front coming in glowed orange as the sun rose, but this is a twilight shot. The horizon is glowing but the stars are still out, which is what gives a nice diffused light on the landscape, while allowing us to still see the stars. I like to imagine what a flash flood might look like in the creek bed below.
