A clear night sky, treated me to a nice milkyway shot. Just what was needed after backpacking and camping in the rain, a couple of weekends ago.

Two days ago, I was lucky to capture a few so-called red sprites, which are large upper-atmospheric lightning phenomena that occur above thunderstorms at an altitude range of 50 to 90 km.

 

These red sprites occurred above thunderstorms located over Bavaria, Germany. The brightest red sprite in the first picture is probably from a thunderstorm near Ingolstadt, 350 km away (I also added one fainter red sprite for comparison, taken at a different time - it is to the left of the bright one).

 

It is also possible to spot the Milky Way arch in this image. Honestly, it really surprised me, as this picture was taken under Bortle 7 skies, from a city with a population of over 100,000 citizens, moreover, with the moon in the night sky.

 

I am super happy that I captured the red sprites for the first time, finally.

Two of us following our individual passions of photography and writing decided to let the streams blend into one fine amalgamation. While what one sees will soothe the eyes, what other writes about it will touch the heart.

Hence From Eyes to Quill.

I Am Puffin, Hear Me Roar (2016-06-14 23:34)

 

This was my first attempt at photographing wild birds with any sort of seriousness. I was inspired by the cuteness and vibrant colors of the puffins, and spent quite some time laying on my stomach photographing these birds near the cliffs.

 

Puffins are insanely cute, so insanely cute. And if you go to Iceland, it's imperative that you see the Látrabjarg Bird Cliffs, easily one of the most spectacular sea-bird cliffs in the world, and where millions of puffins in the warmer months go to, uh, do puffin things. I went with a group of photographers, and many of us were surprised at how fearless the cute little puffins were, and how close we could get to them. But not too close, or one could plummet off the side of the sheer-sided cliff.

 

And now, I will entertain you with some fun facts:

 

- Puffins only have their Technicolor bill part of the time, during mating season.

- They are nicknamed "sea parrots", or sometimes "clowns of the sea".

- Puffins are amazing swimmers, and can dive 60m underwater. So, like, that'd be almost 200 feet under the surface.

- The Látrabjarg Bird Cliffs are the westernmost part of Europe.

- Puffins can be found on menus of some restaurants around Reykjavik.

- I think this is the first time I ever seriously tried to photograph wild birds.

- I did not use any Photoshop Cartoon Function to make this fine bird look like Toucan Sam.

 

Nikon D610/Nikkor 28-300mm 1/640s f/5.6 ISO 1000. Special thanks to Tyler Heibeck for giving me a few tips on photographing birds, as I have never photographed wildlife birds before.

Gorgeous golden hour light setting over some very famous and iconic Sydney landmarks - Sydney Luna Park, Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Really enjoyed this calm sunset as we waited for the lights to turn on for the last weekend of Vivid light festival 2019. There was no wind and the weekend was just setting in along with a sense of excitement in the air as Vivid was about to start painting colored light all over this scene. The sun was setting behind my shoulder so this all the reflected golden light on the landmarks. The sky in this direction was a nice warm orange with splashes of red/purple. I really love this spot beacause you can photograph so many different things including the entire Sydney city CBD skyline using a wide angle lens.
