Yet another star trail shot around Polaris. Not mu

Yet another star trail shot around Polaris. Not much foreground in this one but this composite has almost 500 exposures... 492 to be precise. 15 seconds each with 5 seconds between exposures for 3 images per minute.
.
In order that Photoshop doesn’t grind to a halt I process these in batches - I export 4000px jpegs from Lightroom (half resolution of D850), then work in stacked groups of 100 images in order to mask the numerous plane light trails. Finally I stack these individual composites together for a final image to retouch and flatten. Exporting the images from Lightroom takes a while but once that’s done it takes about an hour...

A star trail stack of about 100 images from August

A star trail stack of about 100 images from August 20 (new moon), taken from our driveway. Bit of distortion in the corners but I don’t mind the result, even with Instagram-crop. The orange glow is light from the town of La Chaux-de-Fonds, about 10km away.
.
I limited the ISO to 1000 in order to not blow out (whiten/overexpose) the colour of the stars.

Milky Way pano from our driveway. Quick low res edit of a first session the other night with a new/used Samyang 14mm f/2.8. Pano stitch of 28 images. Beautiful night with the new moon, the star visibility was incredible, and there was absolutely no wind.
.
We’re quite rural, but still cannot escape the light pollution just over the hill in the background. Whenever we can travel again, I think my next trip will be to a true dark sky location. Any suggestions?

Set up a remote last night to get these young redstarts feeding from their mom. I missed that shot (see my IG story), but a few static shots like this one turned out ok. I’ll try again this week, but they are growing fast!

A meteor, milky way central core and Jupiter.
.
I set up a couple of cameras for timelapse sequences last night, hoping to capture some meteors from the #perseidmeteorshower as well. I haven’t had time to process the two sequences, but here’s a single frame from one of them, looking south. I expected to see more activity in the northern sky but I don’t think it was the case.
.
I stayed up until about 1am, lying on my back in a field next to our house - with a whiskey in hand 🥃 😊. It was clear and beautiful with no moon (until later). Saw a few spectacular meteors... there’ll be more tonight but unfortunately it’s quite cloudy this evening in our area. I hope you have better luck! ☄️

A thin line of mountaineers head out onto the vast

A thin line of mountaineers head out onto the vast expanse of the Aletsch Glacier in Switzerland.
.
The Aletsch Glacier or Great Aletsch Glacier is the largest glacier in the Alps. It has a length of about 23 km, has about a volume of 15.4 km³, and covers about 81.7 km² in the eastern Bernese Alps in the Swiss canton of Valais. The whole area, including other glaciers is part of the Jungfrau-Aletsch Protected Area, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001 [source: wikipedia].
.
It’s difficult to capture the expanse of such large subjects. Having a scale of reference such a human helps to put things in perspective. BTW, can you spot the second column of hikers farther out on the glacier? 😉

Long-tailed tit.
.
I’ve been neglecting bird photography lately, with night photography and backyard macro safaris taking up most of my photography time.
.
So... I thought I’d show a little bird love! This little fella’ is from the archives, it’s also known as silver-throated tit or silver-throated dasher. Taken near Neuchâtel a few years ago.

There are usually plenty of fireworks on August 1 here in Switzerland - but not this year due to Covid19 - most large gatherings of this type have been cancelled. Since there won’t be any tonight, here’s a pic I took two years ago of the show over the port of Neuchâtel. 🧨 💥 🎇

Our lovely moon 🌝
.
Another beautiful summer evening last night so I had to get outside to capture a few images of the moon (currently starting to outshine the milky way). This is the Waxing Gibbous phase - when the moon is more than 50% illuminated but not yet a Full Moon. Though full moons are also wonderful to observe, I really like other phases where the moon looks a bit more... celestial. The beautiful transition zone from illuminated to darkness very much gives the moon a more “3D” appearance.
.
This image is heavily cropped. Swipe to see some lovely crater details as well. Taken with my longest setup - Nikon D850 and 500mm + 1.4x TC for 700mm effective focal length. Would love to have a dedicated tracker and/or telescope 🔭

Hey there little fella.
.
This morning I saw a few of these cute little guys bobbing around our freshly mowed garden. Time to be a little more vigilant when it comes to our chickens... Usually a stoat will not go after larger prey like chickens unless their normal food sources of field mice and voles are sparse. Though this is not the case in our area, I’d hate to wake up to chicken coop carnage as they have a reputation for surplus killing 😱 🐓.

Obviously, I’ve been spending some time outdoors these past evenings... 🥱 😴

Here’s a stack of about 90 images from last night, taken in our garden. Of course, Polaris is in the middle. 2 images per minute of 20 second exposure each.
.
Nikon D850 and 14-24 f/2.8 at 14mm. No crop. If you wish, see my story for a pic of the setup.
.
After finishing shooting these images near midnight, I turned the tripod to the south to shoot 5 hours of the milky way at the same settings. I still have to process that series as a timelapse so stay tuned 🌌 ✨ 💫

Neowise comet last night, taken from our driveway.

Neowise comet last night, taken from our driveway. Last week it wasn’t visible from this location, being hidden behind the foreground mountain. Now that Neowise is travelling away from earth’s neighborhood, its location in the sky is also changing.

Hey! All this talk is about Neowise the comet this week... ☄️ but Saturn and Jupiter are at their brightest of the year as they reach opposition (Jupiter July 14; 🪐 Saturn July 20).
.
In fact, as I was shooting a few pics of Neowise last night I couldn’t help but notice the two planets behind me to the darker south sky. I whipped the tripod around for a few images of our planetary neighbors, against a backdrop of the milky way.
.
Can you spot them in this image? Hint: one of them is the brightest “star” ! 😉

A few pics of Neowise coming tomorrow. ☄️

Kind of looks like some sort of alien doggy, don’t you think? 👽 🐾
.
I’ve been wandering the garden again lately with a macro lens, so expect a few bug photos over the next week or so. I’m too lazy to set up a tripod or even a monopod for proper macro work, so my focusing technique is often hit or miss... even at f11 or more since DOF is often only a couple of millimeters (when a bit of wind picks up - forget about it). Absolutely loving the focus peaking on the D850 and Z6 for insect macro work.

Nom nom nom 🤤 🍒
.
Crow rescue update: They’re now about 7 weeks old. Doing well - they’re now free all day long to roam the fields and forest, returning several times daily for snacks and visits. At night they return to their cage where we close and cover it until dawn.
.
It’s quite impressive to see my daughter call them when they’re maybe 200 meters away in the forest “A-WAH!!” ... they answer her with their own distinctive “CAAAW” and come flying directly to her - most times. It’s so nice to witness the bond they have ❤️.
.
This pic was taken last week while they gorged on cherries... one of their favorite snacks 🍒 I realize that it’s similar to an image I posted last week... but hey, I have a few nice ones from that day 🤗.
