Hello Blue Sky! Please allow me to introduce myself. I have been doing deep sky astro imaging for 16 years and recently got into travel photography for nightscapes and landscapes in far off beautiful places. So much to see and learn and happy to be here and share my work and to be inspired 📸

During my two week visit to Ireland, I got one clear night for astrophotography. A single 20 second shot using a Canon R6 and Sigma 14mm, f/1.8 lens. This is the Screeb fishing hut in Connemara, Ireland.

A beautiful spiral galaxy with many star birth regions in pink nebulosity. M33, the Triangulum Galaxy. 17 hours of total exposure times including hydrogen-alpha. Taken with my Ceravolo 300mm telescope at f/9 with an SBIG STX 16803 ccd camera.

Thanks for posting my photo, however, the added colour saturation does not do it justice.

This beautiful galaxy, ngc 7331, has a new supernova at its centre. Taken on July 28th, 2 weeks after it was discovered. For a short time, this star that violently exploded will outshine its own galaxy and then fade from view. Capture with my Ceravolo 300mm telescope.

Thank you! With a 14mm lens, if I stay around 20 seconds, the stars will not trail. In very dark skies, I can pick up a lot of detail in 20 seconds and with a lens that is fast, f/1.8.

yes, dark skies makes all the difference, including the moon being out of the way. This place was in Bortle 2, almost as good as it gets. There were a few clouds around. I used a 14mm lens wide open at f/1.8 and 20 second exposures for each pano frame.

Wow, thank you so much! It was beautiful solitude except for a little muskrat occasionally making ripples 😍.

No, that would saturate the whole image. I took 30 second shots consecutively for four hours. Then stacked them in a software called Starstax

Thank you, I stitched the 9 frames together in Lightroom, then brougth up shadows and toned down highlights and made sure to not crush/clip either end of the histogram. Slight S curve in contrast. Usual processing techniques.

It looked bright and crisp that photo shoot. But we can’t see colour at night, so does not look like this because of the colour. But the Milky Way should be obvious in dark skies but also depends on the time of year.

I love the summer Milky Way in dark skies on my mountain in southern BC. A small lake reflects our galaxy on a quiet and enchanting night. 9 frame panorama taken with a Canon R6 and Sigma 14mm lens.

Star trails around the North Star show our axis of rotation to the north. This is a total of 4 hours of exposures with the Earth spinning at 1600kms per hour. No wonder the days seem to go by so fast! A mild aurora completed the scene. Taken from my home in BC.

The white horses of Camargue running through the marshlands in southern France, their natural habitat. There is a young foal among them who was born in the wild with its dark brown coat that turns white as it matures

When in France on a workshop to photograph the white horses of Camargue, this is the shot I was hoping to get. These beautiful horses running through the marshlands, their natural habitat with a young foal that was born in the wild. They turn white as they mature.

My recent quest for photography adventures led me to the coastal region in the south of France where the famous and beautiful white horses of Camargue live.
