Star trails in the Pilliga, north-western New South Wales, Australia. Sixty-eight fifteen sec exposures merged in Photoshop. I have not tried to edit out the plane or comet trails. The lighter areas are where there are high densities of stars in the Milky Way and where the Magellanic clouds are located.
The Pilliga is the largest inland forest in Australia. It is quite sparsely populated so star viewing is wonderful. Nearby is the world renowned Siding Spring astronomical observatory.
Taken at Pilliga Pottery, a working farm with a pottery studio and accommodation for tourists.
Thanks for visiting. I am very grateful for the kind comments and faves.

On a moonless night in Mont-Tremblant National Park, the northern sky comes alive as charged particles from the Sun spiral along Earth’s magnetic field. Colliding with oxygen and nitrogen high in the atmosphere, they ignite vivid ribbons of green, purple, and blue above silhouetted treetops — a natural particle accelerator lighting up the polar night.
The aurora dances across the sky, shifting and twisting with a quiet, otherworldly energy. Below, the forest stands in stillness, dark and patient, while above, light flows in currents that seem almost alive, tracing the invisible lines of our planet’s magnetic embrace.
It’s a moment of cosmic choreography, where the vastness of space meets the calm of Earth, reminding us that even in the stillest nights, the universe pulses with motion and color.

The stars over rural Alabama are pretty amazing when there's no moon in the sky! I was out there doing some fishing this past weekend, and brought along the camera to try out some night shots. These cypress trees line the pathway to a small dock, on a lake that used to be used for catfish farming before being converted to a bass pond (there are some big fish in these ponds!). Learning to take better night shots is something that's been on my list of things to do once I upgraded to the full-frame camera. I'm very, very impressed with the low light performance of the new camera! Unfortunately my lens only stops down to f/4.0, so I'm more or less limited to ISO3200 or above to get an exposure that doesn't result in noticeable star trails. This equipment upgrading is just a never ending process - I guess now I'll just have to find a much faster lens for night photography :) I heard the Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 is a good affordable lens for night shots - does anyone have experience with this, or any other good night photography lens? I appreciate your comments if you do!
I passed Holy Name Cathedral on my walk last evening. I took a photograph with my iPhone 11, imported it into my editor, did some processing, and this was the result.
Enjoy!
This is an image I shot on a spectacular evening just oustide Tromsø, Northern-Norway.
BTW! Sequences from this place was also shot in my northern lights short-film which I spent 6monts to create, shot with 150.000 still images, I recommend taking a look here:
A forecasted CME hit earth, though not as strong as expected, still the lightshow over our heads was just fantastic!!
In the frame you can see my friend Truls standing there on the road, doing the same as me, shooting one of the most insane auroras from this season! Intense colors, fast movement, awesome curtains and an absolutely fantastic corona on top! This was shot just outside the city of Tromsø, Norway.
Curtains, bows, coronas, red auroras, this night had it all. In this shot I aimed from close to the ground using my 15mm Fullframe Fisheye to dig in most possible of the action, using the road and my friend to put things into perspective.
The 15mm on a full frame body captures almost 180degrees, so you can imagine the scale of this one!!
LOTS more of shot from this evening, will keep me busy for a while, hehe :)

Hope you like it!
Edit July 19th: An updated version of the photo has been uploaded where shadows has been lifted slightly to better display the structure in darker ares. The initial version was more or less a a straight out of the camera shot.
Best,

After several failed attempts at a full moon rise behind Hound Tor it finally worked out. Although the moon was a bit high as it appeared this was due to a huge temperature inversion layer. Fog below and very warm air above bending the light and giving a heat shimmer (superior mirage) to the moon - Very awesome to see! Also there is a 'Where's Wally' moment in there too.

As we were heading home from Carrizo I saw the bright red/pink/ orange flames of a SpaceX rocket launch and told my son to pull over so the four of us could watch. Luckily we were in a wide open agricultural area and the night was crystal clear. It's always fun to go out in the darkness and watch from home too.

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket shortly after launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base, California.
It was carrying another batch of its Starlink internet satellites into orbit. You can see the first stage, nearly center of the photo after it separated, which comes back to Earth for a vertical touchdown about 8.5 minutes after liftoff. That landing occurs on the deck of the drone ship OCISLY "Of Course I Still Love You", which is stationed in the Pacific Ocean. The first stage will then be reused for future launches. Those two smaller bright spots behind the second stage are the fairings.
As I type this - March 28, 2024 - there will be a launch tonight (3/28/2024) which will be the 30th Falcon 9 flight of 2024, and the 20th dedicated to building out the Starlink megaconstellation. To date, SpaceX has lofted 6,077 Starlink satellites, 5,610 of which are currently operational, according to astrophysicist and satellite tracker Jonathan McDowell.
Those already-staggering numbers will continue to grow far into the future. SpaceX has permission to deploy 12,000 Starlink craft in LEO and has applied for approval for another 30,000 on top of that.
I recently graduated from the University of British Columbia !
I met Celeste through Instagram! I had a lovely time showing her Christine Falls in West Kelowna! I'm excited to go on more adventures with this chick! More excited to shred the mountain with her in the winter!
