I wasn't fully satisfied with the previous version and wanted to bring up the exposure on the foreground and middle ground. This conveys more of my original vision.
I was a little disappointed that I didn't get the full moon set during this timelapse, but it worked out alright in the end, with this interesting composition where the path of the moon almost meets up with the path of the lens flare it created.
I can't help but wonder if the lens flare would have grown a little bigger, as the moon shrunk smaller (as it gets closer to the horizon it gets dimmer, making it look like it shrinks if it's overexposed to begin with) and they would match up, looking kind of like a super bright meteor. (they often have colour changes near the beginning and end of the time that they emit light while burning up in the atmosphere)
Mark and Megan have been working a lot on NASA's Celestial immunity experiment, including weekends. This is one of the reasons I like making timelapses, it compresses hours of work into a short video (also once the camera is set up we can let it be it and do said work). Together with solid support from mission control and scientists on ground, Mark and Megan have been working in the Life Sciences Glovebox in the Japanese Kibo laboratory to run this experiment. They are taking immune cells from elderly people and adults and seeing how they react to being on the International Space Station. This could offer clues to the whole ageing process in general and continues on ground-breaking research in space that is helping us understand the human body in detail. Like much human research in space it capitalises on the fact that cells seem to age faster offering a handy way for researchers to observe changes but sped up. Mark is doing the experiment in the Glovebox so the cells are contained, we do many biological or chemical experiments in gloveboxes for extra safety. youtu.be/vNS_sEfgvdI
Mark et Megan travaillent beaucoup sur l’expérience Celestial immunity dernièrement, y compris les weekends. Les timelapses ont l’avantage de compresser le temps et de montrer l’essentiel des activités en une courte vidéo (et puis je peux installer la caméra et la laisser tourner pendant que je vaque à mes occupations 🆗). Avec le soutien du centre d’opérations et des scientifiques, Megan et Mark utilisent la Life Sciences Glovebox (littéralement « la boîte à gants pour les sciences du vivant) qui se trouve dans le laboratoire :flag japon: Kibo. Grâce à cette boîte, les échantillons restent bien confiner, sans risque d’être abimés. Ils étudient des cellules immunitaires de personnes âgées et d’adultes pour voir comment elles réagissent dans la Station spatiale. L’objectif ? Étudier le vieillissement et plus généralement améliorer la compréhension du corps humain. Comme la plupart des études sur la physiologie humaine, on se sert du fait que les cellules vieillissent plus vite dans l’espace. C’est pratique, on peut observer les changements plus rapidement, comme en accélérer… un peu comme un timelapse dans la vie réelle :) youtu.be/vNS_sEfgvdI

Aurora, the night of March 1st.
A film shot, taken on Konica Centuria 800. This film was 5 yrs. past it's expiration date and turned out to be pretty grainy but still did a great job of capturing the deep red in the Aurora that night.

Here's an image from our Escalante Workshop last month. We hiked in the dark out to Sunset Arch where we setup to take a panoramic shot as the Milky Way rose above the horizon. It's not easy to do good foreground lighting with panos since you have to cover such a large field of view, so it took a little bit to optimize the lights. This shot was difficult to put together. I stacked multiple images for the sky and also had to focus stack the foreground since I shot this at f1.8. Action Photo Tours donated a portion of the proceeds from our Escalante Workshops to the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance (SUWA) to help protect this sensitive area. SUWA was grateful for the donation and made us their "Business Member of the Month"!
Blossoms of a lavender trumpet tree (Handroanthus impetiginosus) cast curious shadows directly behind the planetarium in Brasília.
Unique characteristics of the 2017 Solar Eclipse totality as viewed on Monday, August 21, 2017, at 1:27 pm, in Ashland City, Tennessee, approximately 20 miles west of Nashville, Tennessee. Bailey's Beads, Diamond Ring Effect, and solar corona all visible.
“Each celestial body, in fact, each and every atom, produces a particular sound on account of its movement, its rhythm or vibration. All these sounds and vibrations form a universal harmony in which each element while having its own function and character, contributes to the whole.” - Pythagoras, Ionian Greek Philosopher and Mathematician

Kingston Cemetery is the largest of Portsmouth's three cemeteries. It opened in 1856 and was subsequently extended several times up until 1910. The layout is formal and features tree-lined avenues. The Neo-gothic style twin chapels remain, as do two lodges, one of red brick and another of flint and Portland rubble stone.
More creative angles, thanks to the little G1 and that fold out screen.
I learned from CNN this morning that the configuration of Jupiter, Venus and the Moon as shown is a relatively rare occurence.
So although I didn't travel with a tripod, I tried my best to steady the camera for this long exposure.....not the best, but it beats missing the shot.
I have passed this mural many times.. and taken pictures of it many times. I never seemed to get the look that I wanted. This day I came by, with a Lensbaby Sweet 50 mounted on my camera. I didn't have any great expectations, but the result came out way more like how I wanted it than any of my previous attempts.
Polar Star trails over a period of 4 hours. If you notice carefully, you will be able to see a forest fire too.
This perhaps is the best way photographically document the rotation of the earth.
The star with the least movement is the pole star and all the other stars which form a circle around it will do so in a total of 24 hours.
