As I was looking through my images this afternoon, I found this shot from last year. I checked to see if I had posted this to flickr when I shot it, and evidently had not. I guess because it is a "blue sky" shot which I am not a fan of for birds in flight. Nonetheless, I think with this image subject matter outweighs the blue background. Rip yer Face Off!! View large for best experience.
Thanks for stopping by ~!
Out last night capturing the Milky Way while doing some deep sky captures in parallel - looked overhead and saw a stunning meteor streak and fortunately captured it in my 60s exposure as it crossed paths with the Large Magellanic Cloud. 4 March / 10:05pm - Bay of Islands - New Zealand. Canon 800D / Rokinon 14mm @ f/2.8, iso1600.
Sunset Light Begins. © Copyright 2020 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
First dusk color comes to the sky above Death Valley and the snow-capped Panamint Mountains.
Like most photographers, I'm typically attracted to the most intensely colorful phases of sunset light. I confess! Those colors are hard to resist, and frankly I don't know of any good reason to not photograph them. (The “problem” perhaps occurs when one thinks that is the only light that is good enough to photograph.) As a matter of fact, not too long ago I shared another photograph from this spot, made at close to the same time on this evening, that does focus on a wildly colorful sky, captured at its peak of intensity.
This photograph is perhaps more subtle, photographed when the light was lovely but not so intensively colorful. Anyone who has observed such a sunset recognizes that it in a constant state of development and change. Late afternoon light almost imperceptibly fades into early evening light, and eventually the sky's colors begin to intensify. At the most transient moment many elements are in play — the east becomes more blue, the sky in the far west seems "warmer" and more intense by contrast, and the whole thing parades across the sky from horizon to horizon. Here the fact that the gaudy colors are suppressed seems to allow us to see more clearly the beauty of the gentler blue light.

ABOUT THIS IMAGE
Lalush’s Beast
I saw an image of this rock a Flickr contact had beautifully made and vowed to find and photograph it. I emailed him asking for the location with no response. I even used Google Earth trying to locate this rock. It was more difficult because the photographer had used a 15mm lens down low and very close making the rock look huge. After a 4 month search I finally saw the rock for the first time. It was right in front of my nose at a location I frequent many times. It took 3 times of going back before the conditions were somewhat close to capturing an image. The tide was too low, kids were climbing all over it, there weren’t any clouds or the sand was trampled. Finally I was able to click a few frames, but the sky was blown out. It was a very contrasty scene. So I salvaged another image of a beautiful long exposed sky I had taken months earlier a mile north of this location and merged the two.

The vast galaxy cluster SDSS J1226+2152 in the constellation Coma Berenices is distorting the images of distant background galaxies into streaks and smears of light in this image from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope. This is a spectacular example of gravitational lensing, a phenomenon which occurs when a massive celestial object such as a galaxy cluster deforms spacetime and causes the path of light from more distant galaxies to be deflected, almost as if a monumental lens was redirecting it. This image is from a set of early science observations with Webb.
One of the most notable lensed galaxies in this rich field is named SGAS J12265.3+215220. In this image, it's the innermost lensed galaxy, just above and to the right of the central galaxy. This lies far beyond the foreground cluster in distance, giving us a view into the galaxy roughly two billion years after the big bang. Astronomers are now using this eagerly-awaited hoard of bright, gravitationally-lensed galaxies from Webb to explore star formation in distant galaxies.
Just like their optical namesakes, gravitational lenses can magnify as well as distort distant galaxies. This allows astronomers to observe the finer details of galaxies that would usually be too distant to clearly resolve. In the case of SGAS J122651.3+215220, the combination of gravitational lensing and Webb’s unprecedented observational capabilities will allow astronomers to measure where, and how fast, stars are forming and also to gain an insight into the environments which support star formation in lensed galaxies.
Amid this spectacular display of gravitational lensing, a menagerie of spiral and elliptical galaxies in all shapes and sizes surround the galaxy cluster. Webb’s sensitive infrared instruments have proven prodigious in picking out distant galaxies from the darkness of space. None of the tiny pinpricks in the patch of sky captured here is a star: each one is a galaxy. The variety of colours of the small, dim galaxies gives us hints at what we are seeing: many of the paler white galaxies will date back to the period of intense star formation known as cosmic noon, some two to three billion years after the big bang, while the few small orange and red systems are probably from even earlier in the Universe's history.
[Image Description: A cluster of galaxies. Most of the visible galaxies are oval-shaped and smooth. A few have spiral arms in various orientations. The largest galaxy is directly in the centre, and close by it are several images of background galaxies, stretched and warped into long arcs by gravitational lensing. The background is black and contains many very small galaxies, but no stars.]

A Black moon is when a month doesn't have a full moon during the entire month, this month of Feb in 2018 in one such month, it's pretty rare.
Great day for textures in the sky captured with Iphone 7+ shooting RAW plus editing in Lighroom mobile. Pretty sweet combo.
The Milky Way is often the first object that astronomy enthusiasts come into contact with. It is also the closest and yet the most mysterious object to humans. It is difficult to imagine what the Milky Way really looks like. To us, it is a vague band of light that stretches across the sky. In English, the Milky Way is named after its appearance, just like a myth, scattered across the night sky.

My first night sky capture. I have nooo idea what color it should be. Open to all suggestions - both for this image and for future shooting of this type.
An iconic place in Newcastle, which is approx 160 kms North of Sydney. One of the "Must Do" day trips if you are in Sydney for a short period. Or may be just stop on way.
The Spur-Winged Plover (aka Masked Lapwing) is a noisy bird that can often be heard but - equally often - can't always be photographed.
It's also a very shy bird; as soon as it senses the presence of a Human, it screeches an alarm and takes to the sky.
Capturing this bird (above) beside Henley Lake at Masterton was a bit of a challenge, and wouldn't have been possible had it not been for the sizable Lens and a bit of cropping, but it's mate had no patience for a photo shoot, and took to the sky with cries of alarm...!
Moments after capturing a couple of shots, the remaining bird heeded the warnings of it's mate, and also flew skywards, answering the cries of alarm emitted by its Mate...!
Thanks so much for the very kind and encouraging comments beneath this photo...! Your support is very greatly appreciated.
Que si. Que las puestas de sol a orillas del mar son muy bonitos pero el campo tiene sus encantos, sus ruidos que ningún oleaje puede callar.
Atardecer en un mar de cebada.
