Life is full of surprises....
I set the alarm for Silly O' Clock yesterday having the intentions of Visiting Berwick Lighthouse, I drove into the town and to the Pier only to see that it was closed off and is still being restored. After a bit of Thinking, I decided to head to Cocklawburn. I still had doubts, as I had only recently been there for sunset and there are a lot of shots from the place from me..
I drove along the coast and dawn was looking very bland. I had doubts about even going now.. But I held out and waited to see what would happen. I got down to the beach and the tide was low, there was too much cloud cover and the temperature was low.
I was really ready to head home but I took a few shots and the clouds broke before sunrise which gave a beautiful red sky and I found a few new rock formations, too. All in all It was a worthwhile trip and I came away with my favourite set of shots to date..
many thanks for viewing
This is a mosaic of the Large Magellanic Cloud visible from the southern hemisphere, a companion/satellite galaxy of our Milkyway 160,000LY away.
Due to the angular size of the LMC, this image consists of 4 frames, each exposed in natural color at 500mm focal length through an 80mm refractor. The 4 frame are combined into one image to fit the whole satellite galaxy into the frame.
Exposure time was 2 hours and 42 minutes per frame for a total of 10 hours and 48 minutes for the whole image.
Mosaic of the Large Magellanic Cloud One of two (known) companion/satellite galaxies of the Milkyway galaxy, located 160,000LY away and only visible from the southern hemisphere. Due to the angular size of the LMC, this image consists of 4 frames, each exposed in natural color at 500mm focal length through an 80mm refractor. The 4 frame are combined into one image to fit the whole satellite galaxy into the frame. The camera used was my astromodded and active cooled canon 40D. Exposure time was 2 hours and 42 minutes per frame for a total of 11.5 hours for the whole image.
i went outside to have a ciggy and saw this amazing cloud being formed .
i did not transform this image in any way apart from the contrast and sharpness .
Competitors thermalling on the final Task (5) day out west of Mt Borah. The lift was weak, so the gaggles were tight at times, especially after Task windows opened.
An impressive set of clouds starts to build up over Sayville, NY today. My infrared converted Canon Rebet XT really makes the clouds look nice.

Cloud Gate (a.ka. Bean) is a famous landmark in Chicago. It was built in 2000 by the famous artist Anish Kapoor. He was inspired by liquid mercury and the sculpture's face reflects the buildings in Chicago downtown. If you walk under the Bean, you are presented with some of the most unique abstract images (like the one here).
Here is a picture of the Bean that took -
