A lunar eclipse occurs whenever the Moon passes through some portion of the Earth's shadow. This can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned exactly, or very closely so, with the Earth in the middle. Hence, the Moon is always full during a lunar eclipse. The type and length of an eclipse depend upon the Moon's location relative to its orbital nodes. The most recent total lunar eclipse was on 28 August 2007 where the Sun, Earth and Moon were in total alignment.

As we approach the Jupiter/Venus conjunction on 2 March, the Moon and the two planets align as they slip down to the south west soon after sunset.
It's not often that I manage to capture an image that exceeds my expectations.
I noticed this alignment of pine trees a couple of months ago, and wondered how it might look with the sun setting perfectly within the gap.
There are only a few days in any year where it would be possible to capture a photo exactly like this. Would the weather play along with my plans?
I've been returning to this exact spot most evenings this past week... hoping to capture my pre-visualised shot. Every previous attempt was a failure, with the sun disappearing behind the clouds before it appeared in my frame.
But then yesterday evening I got everything that I was hoping for... and more. I'm stoked! :)
Here's an image I captured on 1/17/2016 where you can see Comet C/2013 US10, Catalina, as if it was doing an approach to M101, also known as the Pinwheel Galaxy. In reality, they're about 21 million light-years away between each other, and while the comet is just a modestly sized icy ball, M101 has a diameter of 170,000 light-years.
Details: 7x5' Luminance, 3x3' each RGB. Alignment had its irks!
The stars burn above this puddle of the Cottonwood Lakes to the great amusement of the cheering frogs. Three images stacked manually in photoshop.
M357 works up the 2% grade of Steelton Hill on the new double track alignment. At the bottom of the photo is the old single track route that curved much more than the new line.
This evening's epic afterglow!

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/proto-Celtic people of Brittany, and are 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 TrinitƩ-sur-Mer. The stones were erected at some stage during the Neolithic period, probably around 3300 BC, but some may date to as old as 4500 BC.

Storm Chasing Video from afternoon / evening on Flickr Click Here
Just to the west of Odessa Nebraska...
First few shots of the day as this already severe warned storm was approaching from the northwest of my current location. Got in alignment of where I thought I had the best possible chance for pics & video. An open view with no power lines. Which is rare. Even in Nebraska.
There were actually 2 storm cells. Both were severe warned. I was on the outer boundaries of the western storm. The eastern storm was going to eventually merge with this storm & become one.
The lean or tilt in this storm meant business. Nothing to take away its energy for doing its building process. Rotation was imminent, though question was would this storm produce a tornado?

As 2011 winds down, I want to thank all of you who have supported me and my photography. I couldn't have done it without you!
This year saw fellow photographer Joshua Cripps and I teach many full workshops to groups of great and enthusiastic photographers. What a blast! Another sold out workshop this past Saturday was our last outing of the year, but hopefully soon, we will have some new dates and new locations for 2012.

This is another take on the same Cuban Lily that I posted a few weeks back. Taken at Longwood Gardens with the Sony FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro G OSS Lens.

I love these old "Bear" signs -- they're cute and fun. The typo on the one sign ("alinement") does irk me. I worked for years as an editor so it's just natural that typos bug the heck out of me lol
UPDATE: So "alinement" is an alternative spelling. Perhaps it's regional, as I've never seen it spelled that way here in Canada.
