Tsuchinshan-ATLAS Comet
Newberry National Volcanic Monument, OR
My original plan to shoot the comet from the top of Paulina Peak in Newberry NVM was foiled when I got to the road and it was closed. Back down the road I went to this viewpoint. Not the wide-open view I was hoping for, but I shot anyway and hoped for the best since I can’t wait 80,000 years for the comet’s return. The subtle side lighting on the tree trunks is from the almost full moon, the lights at the bottom are the little town of La Pine, OR.
A major magnetic storm bombarding planet earth, creating a magical aurora with amazing colors at Thingvellir, Iceland. A panorama stitched together from 21 images.

Shot last night at Glacier Point, Yosemite.
Pano of 5 shots stitched in PS. Used Topaz denoise for the first time. Impressive results for this software.

**🎬 Prompt :**
Une entité extraterrestre maternelle à la peau bleu pâle translucide, parcourue de fines veines luminescentes rappelant des constellations, tient délicatement un petit être alien vert dans ses bras. Son visage est allongé, aux traits doux et apaisants, avec de grands yeux noirs profonds et brillants, remplis d’une sagesse ancienne. Elle porte une capuche en tissu organique légèrement irisé, semblant tissé de poussière d’étoiles, qui enveloppe sa tête et ses épaules dans une aura sacrée.
Le bébé extraterrestre possède une peau lisse vert émeraude, de grands yeux expressifs légèrement humides, et de petites oreilles pointues. Il tend timidement sa main vers le visage de la créature, dans un geste d’innocence et de connexion universelle.
L’arrière-plan est une nébuleuse cosmique spectaculaire, avec des galaxies spirales lumineuses, des amas d’étoiles scintillants et des poussières galactiques en suspension. Une douce lumière bioluminescente émane des personnages, créant un éclairage volumétrique subtil, avec des reflets irisés et des particules flottantes.
Style hyperréaliste, rendu 8K, détails microscopiques sur la peau et les textures, profondeur de champ cinématographique (bokeh stellaire), éclairage doux et diffus avec contraste élevé. Ambiance émotionnelle, sacrée et intemporelle, évoquant la maternité universelle et la paix cosmique.
Objectif caméra : 85mm, ouverture f/1.4, mise au point sur les visages, flou artistique en arrière-plan. Composition centrée, cadrage serré, atmosphère éthérée.
Palette de couleurs : bleus profonds, violets galactiques, touches dorées lumineuses, vert doux contrastant.

**🎬 Prompt:**
A maternal extraterrestrial entity with pale blue translucent skin, threaded with fine bioluminescent veins resembling constellations, gently cradles a small green alien infant in her arms. Her face is elongated with soft, serene features, and large deep black eyes shimmering with ancient wisdom. She wears a hood made of slightly iridescent organic fabric, as if woven from stardust, draping over her head and shoulders like a sacred veil.
The baby alien has smooth emerald-green skin, large expressive slightly glossy eyes, and small pointed ears. It timidly reaches out its tiny hand toward the being’s face, expressing innocence and a universal bond.
The background reveals a breathtaking cosmic nebula, filled with glowing spiral galaxies, shimmering star clusters, and drifting interstellar dust. A soft bioluminescent glow radiates from both figures, creating subtle volumetric lighting with iridescent reflections and floating particles.
Hyperrealistic style, 8K resolution, microscopic detail in skin texture and materials, cinematic depth of field with stellar bokeh. Soft, diffused lighting with high contrast. The atmosphere is emotional, sacred, and timeless, evoking universal motherhood and cosmic peace.
Camera: 85mm lens, f/1.4 aperture, sharp focus on faces, artistic background blur. Centered composition, tight framing, ethereal ambiance.
Color palette: deep blues, galactic purples, luminous gold accents, and soft contrasting green tones.

Lost in the beauty of a celestial phenomenon. From last Thursday's brilliant aurora display. I never thought I would get a chance to see it, let alone experience it in my own backyard. Have a great day!!!
An AI and cloud based image. AI satellite and stars with a couple of my own cloud and moon photos. I heard today that the Russian Far Side of the Moon project was unsuccessful with the Luna 25 crashing. HMMM

A collection of highlights from my recent trip to Berlin and Potsdam. From the architectural grandeur of the city center to the poignant historical sites on the outskirts, this journey was a fascinating look at the layers of German history.

It's great to see the galactic core of the Milky Way returning to our night skies! And with no moon this week, it's the perfect time to come to the desert Southwest. The Outsiders Photo Conference is happening this weekend and we only have 5 in-person tickets left! I'm so excited for this event, especially with Paul Nicklen as the keynote speaker. If you can't come in-person, virtual tickets are available and you can watch all sessions up to a year after the conference. I hope to see you there!!

DeadEndThrills's guide on screenshooting in MW12
For most of the evening I was alone at this location, attempting improvement of my long exposure photography skills, and at times while alone I seem to reflect more on life, both spiritual as well as physical. There are not many places much better than this, looking over the calm waters of Price Lake, the only sounds other than an occasional passing vehicle, are the song of a whippoorwill somewhere nearby, the splash at water’s edge, a rustle in the brush around your location, all that add to being out in our nighttime natural world…
Later I was joined by Boone photographer Tommy White as we both marveled at the clarity of the Milky Way, while making plans for future photo shoots…

Guilderton lighthouse, a favourite of mine.
On this night, we see a garden of celestial objects with Venus setting towards the western sky, illuminated by the Zodical Lights.
Saturn stands close to Antares and Mars transits the core of the Milky Way. On the left of the frame is the Large Magellanic Cloud, just above the light pollution coming from Perth city.
This panorama consists of 30 individual frames.

Milky Way Pano - Shenandoah National Park, VA
I finally got my opportunity at shooting a Milky Way panorama while its arc was low, and w/o having to use a fish eye or super wide lens to do so. It is only in this position for a few short weeks in Spring here in Virginia. I missed out last year due to the only clear nights being on weekday work nights, and that was the case again this year, but I bit the bullet this year and done it. Yeah, not a pleasant day at work afterwards, but to me it was worth it.
During the first of the month of April, around 3am, its arc is centered East at about 25° high when it rises and it stretches from South to North. By the end of the month, it stands about 35° high. Since the peak of the Milky Way’s arc is so low in April, this is the time to shoot panoramas that show it stretching across the frame. By the first of the month in May, the peak of its arc is about 40° high. By the end of May, its arc is high in the sky, and will continue to be until next April.
3 stitched images taken at 4:26 am - 20 seconds each @ ISO 3200, f/2.8, w/ a Bower 14mm.
THANKS FOR VIEWING!
