Adoraremos el sol hasta que desaparezca por el horizonte y aún así no dejaremos de mirar su brillo y sus constantes cambios de tonalidades y seguiremos haciendo fotos hasta que la noche llegue. Y ellos, en la playa seguirán riendo, charlando, disfrutando de la brisa y bañándose sin miedo alguno a los pobladores del océano que se acercan a la orilla al atardecer.

The Horsehead Nebula is a small dark nebula in the constellation Orion. The nebula is located just to the south of Alnitak, the easternmost star of Orion's Belt, and is part of the much larger Orion molecular cloud complex
Last weekend we discovered a wonderful new walk for Bob about 30 minutes drive from home near the lovely small town of Vidauban. It was a very old Château surrounded by vineyards with paths among the vines where you could walk and a river flowing by it. It was so quiet and a great place to take a dog. What you see in the photo is the back of the Château
A snippet from their website (which explains the unusual design of the Château):
"The estate became national property during the Revolution and it was not until 1802 that the estate fell back into the public domain. Maximin Martin, a wealthy soap maker from Marseille, then acquired the land of Astros. His grandson, Marc Maximin Martin, a keen admirer of Italian art, built a magnificent Château inspired by Tuscan villas in 1860. He passed on the Astros estate to the grandson of his first cousin Joseph Maurel."
I'm not a huge fan of astro photography but my husband is.
So I bit the bullet and took him for a 2 hour drive to Moogerah Dam for some astro.
A friend happened to light up the tree for her shot, so I took advantage of it. So pleased to Milky Way seems to be coming out of the tree.

I'm still learning how to do astro so this shot is not perfect. But the only way to learn is to keep trying.

"Astro snippets" sind ein paar Zeitraffer und Eindrücke die quasi nebenbei entstanden sind, viel Spaß.
The desert is an incredible place. At one point in my life I looked at it like a barren wasteland with not much to offer in the way of scenery, or life. The reality is much different, there are many species of plants, animals, and insects that have adapted themselves. In addition the beauty is in the way that the elements form the land. Untouched by anything but natures paws there are countless ripples, stars, and clouds lining our view. This was shot at twilight, the light is almost non-existent to the naked eye, but if you can imagine leaving your eye open for 20-30 seconds gathering all the light from that time and then compiling it together into one view... you can see what this snap shot portrays. The light in a dark place.
More experiments with deep sky targets! This is a stack of 4 shots, each 12 minutes at f/4, ISO400. Sigma lens, Celestron CGEM2 mount with a ZWO guide camera for autoguiding. I tried at f/2.8 but I did notice just a little coma which seems gone at f/4. I don't know how long an exposure I can get without issues yet! This one was processed with a Photoshop star reduction technique, not something I normally like, but I l don't mind this!
The plan was to wake up at 4am before the Milky Way sets in the southwest sky. Our guide, Hougaard, promised an orchestral alarm. Well, it consisted of him banging on pots and pans yelling "Check Your Sharpness!" I woke into laughing as this phrase is his mantra. He does not like soft photos.
In any case, this is our third astro shoot of the workshop. This place was dark and there were 10 of us all vying for the same shot. Each of us were picking up a strange green band along the horizon.. Being able to see the milky way with our eyes and then capture it in all its glory was truly a wonderful experience.
We worked together, coordinating when to use our headlamps to adjust focus or settings. After the Milky Way set, we hung out by the fire and waited for the sunrise over the dune. In retrospect it would have been a perfect setting for timelapse but it didn't happen. We just hung out and told stories and kept the fire hot.
A word about this ship. It is an ocean tug boat run aground in the early-mid 70's. At the time this stretch of shoreline was not accessible and the owner thought they could get away with a scam about the ship wrecking at sea. It did not take long for the insurance company to figure it out. For us, it made an interesting foreground subject.
Traveling to Yosemite valley during the winter is a must see in a lifetime event, and I hadn't done it yet. I was watching the weather forecasts, and saw that a storm was coming in for the Christmas break, as luck would have it, I had decided to stay local in San Francisco this year, and the obvious choice of where to spend the holiday was based on the storm. The only question I had was how heavy it would be... I was expecting at least a foot based on forecasts, and as I was driving late into the night, I was a bit worried. Needless to say when I got to the pass on 120 there was a good amount of snow, but thankfully the snow plows had been running all day, and it was packed pretty well. The real danger isn't snow, it's ice, so this was pretty straight forward driving.
Coming into the valley into a snow storm at night by yourself can be somewhat unnerving, even for an experienced outdoorsman like myself. That being said I made a mistake not just shooting straight up to Tunnel view. Unbelievably, the storm cleared in the matter of an hour or two during the night. When I went up at 5 am it was nearly clear skies for astro, and I realized quickly that the tunnel floods the valley with an orange light, so night shots from Tunnel View are nearly impossible. I may post these shots regardless, as in a way, they are kind of cool and serene, even with the light pollution. But the real gem this weekend was during Christmas day and inspired by a post I saw by @rayophotography13 - I mean who doesn't know the famous sentinel bridge but something about that spot with a snow covering is just magical. So I took a wide view late in the day during the golden hour, and came out with what you see here.
