Super Blue moon tonight. Creepy looking clouds tonight too! This is an hdr moon composite from 3 separate shots.

Celestial Shores of Florida’s gulf coast. The sunsets here are beautiful but the dark skies offer a treat for capturing the Milky Way!

This sky is a multi-row mosaic captured at 50mm.

Milky Way off the gulf coast of Florida. I had pristine conditions for two nights in a row which is pretty rare in the south.

The sky in this composition is a multi panel mosaic shot at 50mm which provides a lot more detail than a wider angle lens. Little more difficult to process but always worth it in the end.

Cahaba lilies are really showing out this year!

The foreground is a focus stack of 2 second exposures taken at blue hour and the sky is a mosaic at 50mm.

Fireball image made into the Guardian. 👍
