Milky Way over historic Simpson Springs Pony Express Station, Utah.
Both are single exposures. My simplified star trails technique is explained on page 62 of my eBook. No need to stack hundreds of exposures, like other complicated star trail methods. All processing is done in-camera, using the LENR mode (Long Exposure Noise Reduction), rather than having to do post processing stacking afterwards on your computer — joining together hundreds of single exposures into circling trails!
TECHNIQUE & EXIF: Canon 6D (H-alpha modified) + Tamron 15-30mm f/2.8 @ 15mm • LEFT: Single exposure, 15 sec, f/2.8, ISO 8000 • RIGHT: Star Trails. one exposure @ 2520 seconds (42 minutes), f/5.0, ISO 160, using LENR mode.

Four chapters cover planning, scouting, forecasting star/landscape alignment, light painting, shooting techniques and post processing.

The Carnac stones are an exceptionally dense collection of megalithic sites around the village of Carnac in Brittany, consisting of alignments, dolmens, tumuli and single menhirs. More than 3,000 prehistoric standing stones were hewn from local rock and erected by the pre-Celtic people of Brittany, and form the largest such collection in the world. Most of the stones are within the Breton village of Carnac, but some to the east are within La Trinité-sur-Mer. The stones were erected at some stage during the Neolithic period, probably around 3300 BCE, but some may date to as early as 4500 BCE.

Les alignements de Carnac sont situés sur la commune de Carnac dans le département du Morbihan en Bretagne. Il s'agit d'un site d'alignements mégalithiques exceptionnel (la région de Carnac réunissant la plus forte concentration de mégalithes du monde1) constitué d'alignements de menhirs, de dolmens et d'allées couvertes et réparti sur plus de quatre kilomètres. Les alignements de Carnac sont les ensembles mégalithiques les plus célèbres et les plus impressionnants de cette période avec près de 4 000 pierres levées vers 4500 ans avant notre ère.
If you zoom in twice, you can see that Mars is right between M20, the Triffid Nebula, and M8, the Lagoon Nebula. If I'd known this, I would have switched to my telephoto lens and got a close-up, like I did with Saturn and the two nebula.
A high exaggeration of a simple astro comp I shot near Windy, NSW two years ago. I found time to tinker it around and finally post it, especially when the milky way is not so shy these days.
ELO - Time: Ticket to the Moon (HD Vinyl Recording)
Rivers of words have been written about the event, so I will not dwell ...
I can say that I hoped to see the biggest moon, but it was at the maximum distance, we can not have everything together; )
Thanks for your recent visits, favorites, comments and invitations. I go slow, but everything is very much appreciated, as always....

With the 2012/2013 Aurora season coming to a disappointing close, who knows what the 2013/2014 season will hold! So many elements have to align for such an awesome sight to be seen from the west of Ireland. In fact this panorama taken in March 2012 may have been a once in a lifetime event. Delighted to have witnessed it from the comfort of my own home, priceless!

The energy that drives wind originates from the same source that provides light -- the sun. It heats the Earth unevenly, creating warm and cool spots causing breeze. In photography, I enjoy moments when good light is aligned with cloud motion driven by strong winds. As such I was grateful that this morning sunrise in Sheffield would present me with such an opportunity. This is a shot of a lovely Nether Edge house in an idyllic country setting with its beautiful front parkland and early morning light against the moving clouds above. They were thick clouds but every now and then the wind would blow away pockets to allow the blues in the sky to peak through.
Shooting the same locations can have some big drawbacks .. they force us to try to find new angles and takes on things ... New locations on the other hand inspire and enchant us.
Well this isn't a new location .. far from it indeed. but, having shot it a 'few' times from all sorts of angles I was blown away when the fates (and a few years watching storms move over the Illawarra) aligned tonight and pinned the tail on the donkey for me.
Easily one of my favourite images of 2019 so far.

The skewed perspective looking out of a concrete bunker that is sinking into the sand at Warden Point on the Isle of Sheppey, UK. There are three bunkers here that functioned as a radar station and sat on the cliff tops. Coastal erosion has ensured that they didn't stay there.
“Finding Darkness in Rural America” is a new book I’m working on. I photographed this circa 1915 wooden granary in central Utah last week. Unlike today's round silos made of corrugated steel, the 100 year-old style of granary often looked like an unfinished building, with the framework on the outside for strength, and smooth horizontal planking on the inside to hold the grain.

A quick shot of the Orion Nebula (M42), one of my favourite celestial objects and a really satisfying target. I've been waiting a year for an opportunity to image this nebula again, this time with a polar alignment and guiding to enable much longer exposures than the 15 second subs I took last time and with a lower ISO to reduce noise. The next project with this is to either stitch two shots together or, better still, rotate the camera in order to fit both the Orion Nebula and the nearby Running Man Nebula into one frame.
13 x 4 minute exposures at 400 ISO
8 x dark frames
10 x flat frames
21 x bias/offset frames (subtracted from flat frames only)
Total exposure time - 52 minutes
Guided with PHD
Processed in Nebulosity, Maxim DL and Photoshop
Equipment
Celestron NexStar 127 SLT
GoTo AltAz mount with homemade wedge
Orion 50mm Mini Guide Scope
ZWO ASI120 MC guiding camera

[Wikipedia] The Orion Nebula (also known as Messier 42, M42, or NGC 1976) is a diffuse nebula situated in the Milky Way, being south of Orion's Belt in the constellation of Orion. It is one of the brightest nebulae, and is visible to the naked eye in the night sky. M42 is located at a distance of 1,344 ± 20 light years and is the closest region of massive star formation to Earth. The M42 nebula is estimated to be 24 light years across. It has a mass of about 2000 times the mass of the Sun. Older texts frequently refer to the Orion Nebula as the Great Nebula in Orion or the Great Orion Nebula.
The Orion Nebula is one of the most scrutinized and photographed objects in the night sky, and is among the most intensely studied celestial features. The nebula has revealed much about the process of how stars and planetary systems are formed from collapsing clouds of gas and dust. Astronomers have directly observed protoplanetary disks, brown dwarfs, intense and turbulent motions of the gas, and the photo-ionizing effects of massive nearby stars in the nebula. [Wikipedia]
Beyond the fountain, you can see Prince-Regent Street, seen from the viewpoint of the Angel of Peace column, which owes its name to Prince-Regent Luitpold who had it built in 1890.
Para lá da fonte, consegue ver-se a Rua do Príncipe Regente, observada a partir do miradouro da coluna do Anjo da Paz, e que deve o seu nome ao príncipe-regente Luitpold que a mandou construir em 1890.
The ring doves are still waiting at the top of the trees so they can see when food is arriving. These two managed to get themselves into an intriguing pose this morning whilst fog swirled around them.
The alignment of a community, is how I saw these house floating in the air at the Tulsa Living Arts, hanging by fishing line with white background, added the texture and the lines disappear.
The Female Red-tailed Hawk adjusts not only herself, but her tail feathers as well, guess they were out of alignment.
A good morning.

A fantastic night for a photo shoot in our nation's capital! A storm ran through the region earlier that day that had just cleared previous to my stay at the Linc Memorial. Ideal conditions for clear skies and color! And the moon decided to join the party. Lucky timing indeed...
