I was on my way home after photographing a killer sunset earlier this week when I noticed flashes of distant lightning in the sky behind Sedona's Cathedral Rock formation. So I took a detour and set up in this location as fast as I could. Unfortunately, it wasn't fast enough as I saw a few strikes both while driving to this spot and while setting up my gear. By the time I was ready, the strikes became few and far between and had moved off in a different direction (sooo typical!). Damn! Despite this, I set up my camera's intervalometer and let it take a series of long exposures in hopes I might get lucky. In the meantime, I was fiddling with my camera bag and getting things organized for the walk back to my vehicle. All the while, I could hear occasional rumbles of thunder...I just assumed it was all happening in the direction the storm had moved to. It wasn't until I got home that I realized my camera had caught this strike while I was busy with my housekeeping! Sometimes you get lucky!
Driving along the west side of the lake we stopped in a lay-by below Collierhagg Beck looking south towards Beckside Farm. The sun lit up the trees in autumnal splendour on the opposite bank for just a moment.
I let the intervalometer run the camera while I helped students at the night photography workshop. June 2011.
This is an unusual planetary, at a distance of 3,260 light years, thought to have originated from a triple star system.

I was all ready for a quiet night at home when I looked outside and seen another stunning clear night. Packed my camera bag and setup the intervalometer ( new link cable included ) and headed out in search of Polaris. This was a 45min shoot involving 110, 20 second exposures. It was quite tricky to get the exposure correct as there were two large sodium streetlights close to the building. I ended up stopping down a bit and reducing my usual 30 second exposure to 20. I also reduced my ISO to 800. I used photoshop cc to layer a mask of one of the images onto the building on the final image as the clockface looked strange with the hands being tracked throughout the exposure.
memorable thing about this shoot;
I nearly jumped out my skin when the bell started ringing at ten o clock. Took me completely unexpected. lol :-)

Approximately 65 meteors captured in 750 25-second images at 16mm focal length, from 11:49pm - 5:12 am on the peak night of the Geminid meteor shower, December 13-14. The background image showing zodiacal light on the left and a bit of the Milky Way on the right is 10 images stacked and aligned, centered before the approaching dawn around 4:48am.
The Geminids are getting stronger, and peak every three years, so before this year's Geminids it was said that this could be the most active meteor shower of our lifetimes (so far). While I was watching, it was amazing! Will 2023 be even better?
I set a Canon intervalometer to trigger continuous shots on my Canon 5DMarkIV until I turned the camera off or the dual batteries ran out.
I don't edit my results to move meteor from where they occur because there are three other meteor showers with radiant points active near the Geminids, The Chi Orionids, the Monocerotids, the Sigma Hydrids plus three more near the southern horizon at this time of night, plus random meteors not associated with a known shower. They should not all point to the same radiant point... in my experience shooting the more active showers as often as possible over the past 12 years, if you capture enough meteors over enough time, they almost never do. Images that show sanitized, fanciful interpretations showing dozens of meteors perfectly pointing to a single radiant point look severely faked to me, not unlike "giant moon" shots faked from multiple focal lengths.
Next year’s Geminid meteor shower will have major moon interference, so we couldn’t afford to miss this year’s display. Fortunately, driving a camper, we were entirely self-contained and able to avoid late 2020 concerns such as people and indoor spaces (including public restrooms).
This star went supernova in host galaxy NGC 1097 approximately 50 million years ago and its light only reached earth last month.

I came across this amazing tree in a frost pocket the other morning while driving down a country back lane. I just had to stop, climb over the gate into the field and take a quick photograph
This is a timestack of a sunset - meaning I took a series of timelapse frames (at 3 second intervals in this case, using the Sony Nex 5T timelapse app), and then stacked them using StarStax to get an effect similar to a long exposure photograph. The sunset wasn't what I was hoping for, but I do really like the effect of the old submerged pier pilings, so I will definitely be trying this again at some point.
I think I'm in the market for another camera, because doing these timelapses takes up my camera for a good 40 minutes at a time and I'd like another one to use manually while it goes. I am thinking of just getting another Sony Nex - I can probably get a used one for cheap since my camera is a couple years old (especially after the holidays), and then all the lenses etc will be compatible. But, any other recommendations? My main requirements besides overall image quality are for it to be small and lightweight, and for it to have a way to take a series of photos without me touching it - a timelapse or intervalometer script. Last time I looked, sony had the only line of mirrorless cameras with apps like that. Has that changed?
In the afternoon in Somerville, an hour or two before sunset, the clouds looked like they were shaping up to make a spectacular sunset. Even as I was driving out to East Boston to set up this skyline shot, the clouds I could see from the highway looked amazing. But then once I got there, there wasn't actually much of a sunset - it's still a nice scene, but not what I was hoping for. I'll have to try this spot again.
Timelapse of sunset clouds over the Charles River, shot from the Prudential Skywalk using iPhone 6s and ProCam’s RAW intervalometer. I was hoping for more color in the clouds, but this is something... I’ll have to try it again, maybe in the summer when the sun will be setting more that way and there will be more boat activity on the river.
The forecast was lousy on this day with strong NW winds and rain. It was the morning before the highest Autumn tide so I had to go out whatever the weather. This attractive composition near Babbacombe Bay was an ideal location to shelter from the elements in fact there was hardly any wind or rain. It was good to capture the hint of warm light through the greyness as the sun started to come up.
This is the most interesting and magnificent tree I’ve seen for years with its twisting skeletal frosty branches stretching out in all directions. This mighty oak stands alone in a field so sturdy with its graceful limbs that span the sky.
The first day of the year was just beginning to break with a very cold nip in the air; my foot steps were crunching on the frosty grass as I approached the legendary tree. I stood for a while in peaceful silence looking up ;my eyes following particular branches to their tip.
To photograph such underlying beauty on a chilly winters morning was an absolute pleasure.
The title of this image describes what I aim to achieve when venturing out with the camera which is to capture something amazing which can be challenging in so many ways.

Wonderful golden evening light at the lighthouse with a lively sea. I used a Lee ND filter to get the water effect.

Last night I ventured over to Wembury Church with my friend Jim to do some star trails.
Using the church tower as foreground interest I set my camera on its intervalometer and let it do its thing.
There were a few people still out on the beach and we managed to get the church lit up by a passing car.
It was absolutely gorgeous stood in the churchyard watching the night sky and listening to the sea crash against Wembury beach, it's the first time I've heard the sea since lockdown began and it really highlighted how much I've missed getting out on the coast.

I had an absolutely amazing morning chasing rainbows across Dartmoor recently. The first one was during a dramatic colourful sunrise at Coombestone Tor. You don’t get long to find a composition when a bow appears. I think this one works well with colourful pools of water and the warm light hitting the rocky outscrop in the mid ground leading you to the wonderful skyscape.

A golden light beam at sunrise shines through the timber remains of the old pier across the water catching the top of the wet pebbles. Moored boats to the right were swaying during the long exposure causing them to be blurred. How dare I have boats in one of my shots and blurry ones too!
Not the peak night...but we'll be out there tonight. I started my intervalometer early and Jeff changed out my battery around 2 am. This was from about 9pm to 4 am. Tonight should be amazing.
This was the first of 2 locations that I scouted using Google Maps (satellite view) and PlanIt! Pro. Shot this Saturday night 8/3/20018. Didn't quite work out the way I had hoped, but I still got few decent shots.
I had a successful early morning outing at the weekend with snow forecasted. A slight powdering looked rather nice at the Evelyn Anthony Cave-Penney memorial cross on Dartmoor. You can just see Sharp Tor in the background
Some winding turns up Roque de los Muchachos, La Palma. 10x 120sec exposures for the sky and 10x20sec exposures for the foreground. At 24mm 2.8. This road sees very little traffic so I ended up having to take matters into my own hands. Camera on timed intervalometer as I had to shoot and drive the car at once. A one mann production so to speak 😅Happy with the result
It rained most of the day today, so I'm in my Loft studio smoking up the place.
Some info on my setup.
I'm using an Incense stick for smoke. I chose two flashes, my Godox AD200ProII flash with a softbox on the left, and my Canon 580EXII Flash with a softbox on the right. I controlled them with a wireless radio transmitter on my R5 camera. The flashes are in manual mode pointing at each other and perpendicular to my camera lens. I have a black felt backdrop.
The R5 has a built in intervalometer which I set to take 200 shots, @ 1 shot per second.
My flashes had no problem keeping up @1/8 power.
With my R5 on a tripod, I manually adjusted focus to follow any drifting smoke as it fired off 200 shots.
Most of the 200 were good technically, but only six of them have a human likeness.

A Tribute to my Organ Donor and family:
It was 5 years ago today I was given my life back after a heart transplant.
The importance and immense meaning of the gift you have given me truly cannot be expressed in words. No words are enough.
"I can honestly say that I try not to waste a day"
As a tribute to the donor and family here is one my favourite photographs I took this summer.

The was the first of four consecutive sunrise shoots and what a beauty it was. I’ve photographed this lone tree in most weather conditions and was hoping for mist this time which was visible in the valley. The first light developed into this otherworldly vivid coloured skyscape tinting the dense foreground ferns red.
(6.08am on 24/08/19).
Our second stop was supposed to be at a lake, but the road was not plowed so we stoped in a clearing. I climbed a short way up to a ridge and set up my Z9 intervalometer to 250 images (8sec f2.8 14mm) thinking I'd have to reposition often. Never again... 999 is my new rule- I simply could not have imagined what would unfold. It started with subdued displays which the sensor captures well but the eye only sees the greens, faintly. I will share a few of this stage.
I backpacked to Cathedral Lake near Aspen, CO. I had two objectives: climb Cathedral Peak (featured at center) and photograph sunrise from there, and photograph the Perseid Meteor Shower. Not easy to combine a night photography goal, climbing a mountain, and photographing sunrise in one day, but I managed to pull it off. I'll sleep when I'm dead. :-)
Despite the haze in the night sky from the California fires, this was the best Perseid shower I can remember shooting. There were huge streaks of light on a consistent basis. I was very pleased and just loved laying on my back next to the lake to watch the meteors rain down.
It was a fabulous night of star-gazing and meteor watching! It was VERY dark, so I processed it darkly.
Process:
Out of 413 exposures I shot over the course of several hours during the Perseid Meteor shower, I combined multiple (19) exposures to bring forward all of the meteors I was able to capture. I then combined this with my foreground shot which was exposed for much longer (but not as long as I wanted - I accidentally left my intervalometer at home and forgot to download the PlayMemories app on my phone, so I hand-held the button down, LOL).
Details:

Another view of Comet Neowise over an old church in Texas.
This is such a rare event I did not want to miss it, so I had 3 different cameras working that night.
Here is a shot where I had been using an intervalometer running a series of 15 shots at a time. This allowed me to stack frames to reduce noise. Here I got lucky and was able to get the shot with some light from another photographer.
A stack of ten frames to reduce noise.

The observation tower on the summit of Clingman's Dome is a very unique structure, one which adds immensely to the character of the mountain. I'm glad that someone in the past decided to build the tower - I can't imagine the NPS of today deciding to build the tower! Anyway, this is my first real foray into star trail photography. Now that I've upgraded to the full-frame sensor, night photography has become much more attractive to me. The tower on Clingman's Dome is the perfect silhouette for night shots - strange and moody! Thankfully, the weather wasn't moody on this particular night - very little cloud cover, not much wind, and not brutally cold. So, strange weather for Clingman's Dome! There was no moon on this night, but there was an unfortunate amount of light pollution from Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge. It's hard to find truly dark skies in the area, I think. This is seven 10 minute shots blended together - I haven't bought an intervalometer yet, so I didn't have the patience to take hundreds of shorter exposures. November seems like a good time for this type of photography in the park, anyway - after the leaves, but before the better chances for snowfall.
The River Arts District consists of a vast array of artists and working studios in 22 former industrial and historical buildings spread out along a one mile stretch of the French Broad River. This eclectic area is an exciting exploration of arts, food and exercise. Plan on spending a day or more visiting artists working in their studios, grabbing a bite of local cuisine or a brew and taking time to find art that’s perfect for your world.
More than 200 artists work in paint, pencil, pottery, metal, fiber, glass, wax, paper and more. As unique and individual as their art, so too are their schedules. There are no official “Open Hours” for the River Arts District, but at any given time throughout the year, you will find a plethora of open studios and galleries. If you are coming to see someone in particular, your best bet is to check in with them before your visit. Do it here, online via our search feature, or check the Studio Guide.
Image created from multiple exposures blended together in Photoshop layers using the "Lighten" blend mode. All exposures were taken with a single Einstein strobe with a 22" beauty dish attached to a boom arm. Send me a FlickrMail message, and I'll be more than happy to send you some information on mostly how I photograph this style and what equipment I use.
A summer canopy of ferns and the mossy boulders looked so lush.
There’s no lovelier shade of verdant green to cover the ground. The twisted entwined trees, which took centuries to grow, creaked in the breeze.
On this most memorable Dartmoor venture I was gifted with amazing atmospheric weather conditions. The walk up was in thick fog turning to fast moving pastel coloured mist at the top with only an outline of the rock stack visible. A few minutes later I could see the Tor as the sun rose above the cloud inversion lighting up a layer of mist. Luckily I was speechless otherwise you would of heard some joyous mild swearing out loud coming from above the clouds.
You can see a series of video clips of the changes in conditions from first light to sunrise then the sun disappearing into thick fog on Youtube.

Some information on Huntly Castle
Spritual home of Clan Gordon
Huntly Castle lies in the green heart of the Aberdeenshire countryside. It is a noble ruin in a beautiful setting, remarkable both for the quality of its architecture and for its eventful history.
The earls of Fife built the original stronghold, the Peel of Strathbogie, around 1190, to guard the crossing-point where the rivers Bogie and Deveron meet. But it was the mighty Gordons who made the stronghold their own from the 14th century and renamed it Huntly Castle.
The surviving remains tell the story of the development of the castle in Scotland, from the motte and bailey of the 12th century, through the tower house of the later Middle Ages, to the stately stone palace of the Jacobean era.

For the Perseids I headed out to the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest in the White Mountains of California. The oldest trees in the world are quite impressive.
This is a composite shot of 73 meteors I found in a time-laspe I was shooting. I aligned the meteors as they were captured according to where they were against the stars.
Huge thanks to Wayne Barsky (flickr.com/lightismight) who happened to be shooting nearby and let me borrow an extra intervalometer after both my time-lapse dolly and intervalometer had broken. Without that, this shot would not have been possible!

Folly good fun
Taken at Hiorne Tower Arundel Park. West Sussex. UK.
For those of you who don`t know its situated at the top of a very steep hill above Swanbourne Lake.
The folly is set in the grounds of Arundel Castle see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arundel_Castle and is called Hiorne Tower as it was a man named Francis Hiorne who built the wonderful tower to prove his abilities to the 11th Duke of Norfolk back in late 18th century.
The folly was also used in the 80`s as a set for the British TV program Doctor Who.
I have been wanting to do a star trail picture for almost a year now, but as any of you that have done one will know it takes a lot of planning and luck. (In the UK anyway due to the weather)
Firstly you need there to be no moon to obscure the star light, secondly and this is where you really fall down in the UK you need a clear night. Ha ha so maybe 4 days a month you get the chance to attempt one. Only when you get up like me at 5am monday to friday for work this then gets limited to a friday or saturday night only. So after much waiting and planning I finally got lucky.
So here`s how i did it.
Firstly after deciding where to do this shoot I went up to the location in the morning and just checked that I could get a good picture of it whilst facing due North, as if you wish to get circular star trails this is the direction you must be facing.
I used my phone as a compass and was happy that everything lined up.
As I am sure you are all well aware in order to achieve star trails the easiest way is to stack multiple shots together.
There are various techniques you can apply but in order for the stars to remain sharp you must use the 500 rule whereby if you were taking a shot with a 20mm lens on a full frame camera you would divide 500 by 20 = 25 that`s 25 seconds so your exposure time must not exceed that.
In order to keep the ISO down as a rule you try and shoot wide open on your lens of choice.
I was using my Canon 16-35mm lens so my aperture was set at f4.
I was undecided what ISO to use as I had read conflicting reports some saying native ISO which on a Canon is 100 or on Nikon I believe 50. Other reports saying higher to allow more stars to be seen etc.
I decided on a middle ground and went for 800 as that should not create too much noise.
The next problem I encountered was how to take the long exposures? Normally you would use a shutter release cable. I did have one but one of my dogs kindly ate in for me a short time ago. I also have a wireless one whose batteries decided to die the day in question. So I went for the in house option of using the intervalometer. How hard could it be?
Mmm
Upon entering the interval timer menu I could see how to set up infinite shots and how long for each but what about setting the gap between shots?
It took me a while to figure out how this worked.
Did anyone else have the same problem or was that just me??
So I got to the folly with plenty of light still available to ensure I composed the shot correctly and had everything in place before it got dark.
I took a few shots and made sure they were sharp. I then switched my auto focus to manual to ensure no silly mistakes resulted.
Having done a bit of research on the subject I realised that some people like to start their sequence of star trail shots by painting their foreground subject with light from a torch. Once it gets dark. So that's exactly what I did.
About 40 minutes in I heard voices and saw torch light. Just my luck 2 gents had decided to come and do some sight seeing in the dark. As they got closer I heard one say let's get in and look around. I was stood next to my tripod and camera yet clearly not visible to these guys due to it being so dark. I waited for them to get to the gate before I coughed and switched on my head torch. That did the trick and they quickly disappeared out of sight but I knew that if I removed those few exposures later in post processing then I would lose the smooth star trail effect so I made the decision to start again gulp.
It was rather a chilly night so I started jogging laps around the folly to keep warm.
I had read about light entering the camera through the view finder so I blocked that to avoid this problem. Every 10 minutes I would check camera to ensure the battery was still OK.
I decided that 2 hours should be enough at around 90 minutes I saw that my battery light start flickering to indicate it was going to run out. No problem I had another 3 ready so at the end of the latest 25 second exposure I quickly turned off the camera and went to get the battery out. The battery door wouldn't open. I tried again. Still shut. It turned out the position of the camera on the tripod meant that the only way I could open the battery door would be by removing the camera from the tripod. I decided there and then that was a big NO. So I switched the camera back on reset the interval timer and continued until the battery died.
I managed around 1 hour 40 minutes in the end. Approx 178 shots at 25 seconds ISO 800 F4
Post processing
I started by uploading my shots to Lightroom.
I then increased my exposure by 0.2 to embrace the light pollution behind and give an even bigger glow.
I also increased my highlights by 20 to further enhance that effect.
I increased my whites and decreased my blacks this again controls how much light pollution I wanted in the final image.
I also increased my clarity and vibrance.
I say just experiment, slide the sliders up and down and see for yourself what looks right.
Once I was happy I highlighted every photo and synced them all so the adjustments I made were applied to every image. I then exported these as jpegs to a designed folder.
With this done I then used a free online program called startrails. de see www.startrails.de/html/software.html (many thanks for your great free software) to upload them into.
Upon viewing the final image I decided I didn't like the light painted folly as much as the one taken in the blue hour as it had lost so much detail so once the image was processed I sent the final image and the blue hour one into Photoshop and created a layer mask to paint the folly I desired.
I hope you like the final image?
I left in some shooting stars and satelites.
Ok enough babbling on.
A quick summary of what I learnt.
Clear nights normally mean cold temperatures. Wear enough clothes or bring your jogging shoes. Maybe best not to wear shorts like me.
Before starting your exposures make sure you are facing in the right direction and that you can remove your battery without having to move the camera.
Try and pick a spot that`s not on a major flight path otherwise you will have to edit almost every picture for aircraft trails like me.
Try and pick a time when you hopefully won`t be interrupted or your shoot may last longer than you planned.
Ensure you take :
Space batteries.
Spare memory cards if need be.
A torch for light painting if that`s what you are doing. Maybe another one less powerful to view your camera.
A comfy chair as you will have plenty of spare time on your hands.
Food and drink?
Tripod
Shutter release cable or ensure your camera has a built in version and that you know how it works.
Phew I feel worn out writing all this. I hope it helps tho and encourages others to try this really cool style of picture. The sky is your limit after all.
Thanks for looking, liking and commenting its always much appreciated.
You really can’t beat crispy white frosty ferns at your feet with a beautiful row of birch trees on the brow of the hill overlooking the mist in the valley. The golden light from the rising sun cast the most wonderful light on the opposite slope and kissed the
tops of distant trees.
This autumn scene was almost too much to take in especially when you’re standing there breathing in the still chilly morning air.

Below Hunters Path looking down at a frosty misty Teign valley towards Drewsteignton. The sun rised and peeked over the trees on chilly start to the day. Taken before Christmas.

Just when I felt an adrenal rush from the force of Storm Dennis, the wind picks up another notch, the wave sets get bigger and the sea turns even more crazy wild.
With no more dry cloths left and sleeves to wipe the lens clean I hung onto the rattling tripod and grabbed a few hopeful shots. Ok, I didn’t get the best clarity of image through the salty smeared filter but managed to capture the choppy churning power of the Atlantic as the spring tide reached its high point
Practicing long exposures with an ND filter. Was set up with my grandmothers equipment as I am waiting for my ND filter and Intervalometer to arrive. Thanks to her and her willingness to teach and share her equipment I was able to get some decent shots and have a great time!
It was 3:00am as I walked out to the camera that I'd left in the desert on a tripod connected to my programmed intervalometer to check on the second star trail exposure series of the night.
I was aware the moon had risen during the exposures, and sure enough, it had pretty much ruined the 14 5 minute exposures, which had all been bleached out too much to work with. But the moon… it was absolutely incredible the way it illuminated the stone formations in the desert out there. The best part of all was the way it lit up the Sierra Nevada under the night sky filled with the Milky Way and billions of stars. So I knew I had to make the best of the situation and immediately set up to make some Milky Way photographs with this beautiful arch framing Mount Whitney and Lone Pine Peak under the moonlight.
I set up the camera, dialed in the settings, and pressed the shutter release on the remote. About 20 seconds later, a very bright meteor zipped across the sky, right in front of the Milky Way, and disappeared as quickly as it had appeared. 10 seconds later, the shutter clicked closed, and I knew I had the shot. When this image popped up on the review screen, I just packed up the camera and went back to the car.
Dramatic clouds and blue-sky reflected in still waters of the lake from Hallin Fell as the morning sun lit up the landscape. Certainly worth the wait from first light.
Windy Post Waterfall - Dartmoor
The flow of water photographed at 1 second shutter speed looked great as the light caught the cascade. This was edited in photoshop which looks a little like it’s a HDR image but it isn’t.
The waterfall is only a short walk from the large Merrivale car park where the ice cream van is usually parked
I recently discovered a small wood of old oak trees on the outskirts of Dartmoor.
It’s not the well known Wistmans or the copse in the valley.
I’ve been waiting for misty/foggy atmospheric conditions for quite a while. The start of the autumnal tones of the dense ferns looked amazing with the morning dew in early September.
