The Wolds Way is a long distance footpath across the beautiful Yorkshire Wolds countryside. It is 79 miles long ending at Filey on the North Yorkshire coast. At Filey Brigg, the footpath meets The Cleveland Way, another wonderful long distance walk. Fantastic walking country.
We shot The Toadstools , near Kanab, Utah in the daytime, then returned to shoot it when the Milky Way was visible. I realized that I needed a warmer jacket and while exciting, it was painfully cold. Interestingly, Venus rose while we watched the Milky Way cross the sky and created an eerie optical illusion. Had not it been pictured on our cameras in one place, our eyes saw it jumping around the sky like no earthly vessel would have been able to accomplish. It had light stars, like sun stars, but more delicate and wavy. Quite eerie and wonderful. Here's a composite made up of a stacked exposure combined with a long exposure of the foreground (thanks to Cindy for teaching me this technique) and an exposure of the sky, showing Venus to above the horizon. I'm researching warm coats and welcome any suggestions. I have an arctic weight coat, but it is too large and bulky to travel with to all but he most extreme environments. Any recommendations?
The Milky Way over the East of Belgium.
This very composition had been on my list for almost 4 years. But there's multiple variables that need to be just right (time of year, no moon, clear sky, good transparancy,...) and one or multiple were always missing. Those of you who are familiar with Belgium can probably guess which one presented the most issues (clear skies).
Add in the fact that there was a gap of almost a year where I wasn't able to access the area (Covid restrictions), and it all adds up.
In any case, finally bagged the shot and pretty happy with it.
Sometimes there are sign you can't ignore...
Have a great and delightful weekend ahead, my friends! :-)
The magic of the Eastern Sierras comes through to me with this image. While the moonlight diminished the brilliance of the Milky Way, it nicely lit up the mountains.
during a trip to watch the Perseid meteor shower I had my first go at capturing the milky way, i think I will use a higher ISO next time

The light
Begin to bleed
Begin to breathe
Begin to speak
D'you know what?
I love you better now
I am falling
Like a stone
Like a storm
Being born again
Into the sweet morning fog
D'you know what?
The love you better now
I'm falling
And I'd love to hold you know
I'll kiss the ground
I'll tell my mother
I'll tell my father
I'll tell my loved one
I'll tell my brothers
How much I love them

Snowshoe Hare running around! I tried some high key images today; white subject on white snow on a cloudy day... BTW those are the back legs....
I spotted this Red Tailed Hawk last summer, coming home from the dentist. Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera on me (lesson learned). I took a chance, went home to pick up my camera, and it was still there in the very same spot that I left it, 20 minutes later!
Thanks very much for the visit!
During a photowalk with www.055photowalks.nl we tried to photograph the Milky Way Galaxy. It was cloudy and that made it hard. I had to push my camera to his limit, so I used 3200 ISO on this one. During the post-processing it seems to have succeeded. Despite the noise and cloudiness, I am satisfied with my first galaxy photo.
Thanks for your visit and comments! Would you like to use my photo on the web or print? Just ask :-)
