Totally pulled in by the eye in the sky on the 3rd one

Complete fluke to have that with Venus?? shining through it
Edit - it’s Jupiter

I think I prefer the blue hour one. The reflection in the last one is very nice though.

The clear skies are definitely better in the blue hour one. It was a bit annoying how that cloud came in whilst waiting for proper dark. I was please with how the panorama stitched together. I had taken a few extra panels but it became horribly distorted with them.

Carew castle, providing a good backdrop. Lucky to put those two things together, clear and skies at the mo.

Wood anenomes.
Nice to see a farmer eke out a living.

I probably ought to apologise for le Spam over the next couple of weeks or so. Suffice to say there won't be any photos of the waves at Budleigh, so mountains will have to do.

Not seeing a forest there yet.😉

Indeed - it tends to be monoculture forestry in the spots on the walk home.

I meant with the lichen likening a forest.

Maybe not too tatty spam today... making the most of a showery day. And I got a forest, but it was of moss.
The river is absolutely lovely at the moment - the ground is saturated, and so the river is full of rain & meltwater.

Not sure what plant this is, but quite excited to see what will unfurl. A small purple flower is my bet.

Fresh snow overnight on da big mountain, and this was the best of the 'atmospheric' shots (i.e. I wasn't going to get any sun on it, so this had to do)

Apart from the slippy boulders trying to kill me, the conditions were nice and benign for a change. I think I've got a couple with better wave action, but have run out of steam.

Trying out a dark nd filter to use in bright light. Felt pleasantly warm on the beach.
Shame it wasn't sunflowers, but had to stop anyway. A sensory overload after a long grey winter. The yellow popped against the grey sky.

Yup, a brighter afternoon here after more sodding rain this morning. Legs and arms out for a while. Just tourist tat, but the second photo (on panorama) mode caught some sense of the sheer volume of water cascading down here.
Seems like the French fans appreciate the reportage given the fairly insane number of likes today for the tat. To be fair, no-one seems to remember it ever looking quite this impressive.

Saw on the Welsh news last night that Alyn Wallace, whose photos I’ve linked to previously on here, died yesterday at just 34. Seeing his work was what encouraged me to try photographing the night sky. His YouTube channel was superb for learning not just about photographing the stars and editing the photos but also basic astronomy. Each month he’d do a video about what you could see and when which was really useful. His book, that I got for Christmas, has also been a huge help to me. Very sad to lose someone so young and talented who was so keen to share their knowledge and love of a subject.

After hearing the above news I took the dogs out to discover an unexpectedly clear sky. I couldn't really go anywhere to get some decent photos and that stage as we were packing ready to come home this morning but I took some on the caravan site. I attempted a panorama but it was badly distorted so these are the best I could manage. Real shame I couldn't go somewhere more interesting and take a bit more time as that is the clearest Ive seen the sky in ages. The top one shows the difference a bit of light pollution makes, the camera settings were all the same but far fewer visible stars - I think it can look a bit better with fewer and know ome photographers use 'star killer' apps to reduce the number but would be interested in views.

Purely a personal opinion as astro photography isn't my thing but I'd reduce the exposure a bit.
(At least they look a bit over exposed on this site, on my laptop.)

It’s the foreground, I was standing near a light (just to the right in the photo with the caravan).

I think the examples above look more interesting with more stars, but not a dealbreaker. But would it be advantageous/easier to create images with fewer stars, so a lower ISO/shorter exposure could be used to keep noise to a minimum and lessen star trails?
0 -
ISO on those was only 1600 and a 15” exposure. I think I may have accidentally knocked the focus out after a couple of shots (I definitely did with later ones), it’s the biggest challenge I find shooting in the dark.

I was simply meaning rather than going to the effort of capturing plenty of stars, then using an app to delete them, it would be slightly easier just to lower camera settings.

Ah right. I think they generally use it on Milky Way shots so they then edit to keep the Milky Way but fewer distracting stars. This guy does it a lot (I love his photography)

Oh, I see.
An involved process but great results. Location wise (apart from the snakes) shooting conditions looked nice and easy. Using just two small trees was effective and a simple enough foreground to find.

Nice reflection in #1.

I can't even work out what's going on in the large middle droplet.

Two flowers, and a nice sky or two. The incoming clouds almost put me off the evening ride, but I'm glad they didn't.
