It has been a while and took this in my backyard this morning. Stood up all night to get this before the clouds rolled in.

Goodnight!

Comet NEOWISE. Pretty cool but a painfully early morning to get it.

An excellent capture and worth the effort, you may forget the effort in time but the image is still there.

Full moon and fireworks from my porch
K-1ii & D FA 24-70
It was an interesting 4th, having the full moon shortly after sunset.

First the fireworks in my yard.







I had a total of 14 2 inch mortar shells, and 9 Roman candles in 3 groups of 3 taped to rebar driven into the ground. I started with the candles, then worked through the shells in groups of 3 and 4.

I think this is the first time shooting fireworks since I went digital. I did a lot with film, usually Kodachrome. It was tricky getting the timing down with opening the shutter, firing some shells, then resetting the cameras. I dusted off my K10D and the Sigma 4.5mm Circular Fisheye, look elsewhere for those shots.

For the first time, this year I had a remote firing system, with electric matches. It was fun to sit back with everyone else and enjoy the fireworks, rather than run around with a torch, eat smoke and duck the sparks.

Later I shot the moonrise.




And then the house under the moonlit sky. (pixel peepers will notice the Photoshop enhanced stars of the visible portion of the Big Dipper)

Nice work Aaron. The blonde looks like one of the Brady Bunch girls.

Another Favourite

That time of year again for the Sea Holly (Eryngium 'Blue Steel')...

It never ceases to amaze me... it turns Blue/Purple flower and then the colour travels back down the stalk.

Thanks! Once out of bed it was great. The first step is the hardest!

I spend a few hours on my bicycle this afternoon and had the K1 and a SMC A 4/24-50 with me.
Every once in a while I think about getting a "better" or faster WA lens, but there is not much reason to complain about the lens ...

For the first shot I choose a "dreamy" processing
