My first attempt at Andromeda Galaxy. Taken last night in the backyard.
.
The almost-full-moon rose at about 9pm last night, so I only had about 1 hour of decent darkness to capture this image before the sky was more or less washed out.
.
About 20 stacked images at 90sec each + some dark frames. Nikon D5500a at 280mm (70-200 f/2.8 + 1.4TC).
.
Andromeda is the nearest galaxy to the Milky Way, at about 2.5 million light years. It’s the most distant object and the only spiral galaxy outside our Milky Way able to be seen with the naked eye. If you live in a (decently) dark sky area, you can probably spot it with binoculars once you let your eyes adjust to the night.
.
I hope you are enjoying my adventures into astro photography! ... I’m loving it. 🌌 ✨

Sun-on-a-stick and long shadows provide for some interesting light play during a short walk this evening at the Joux-du-Plâne (near Bugnenets ski station).
.
Starting to really notice now how the days are getting longer!! 😀 ☀️
.
Apparently more Sahara Sand will be coming our way, riding on the coattails of the wind - that should also result is some eerie and interesting light! 🐪
.
Calling for clear skies tonight with 1/4 moon so I’ll be out shooting stars and sky! 🌌 🌠
.
Have a good weekend everyone!

I’m heavily engaged in improving my astronomy at the moment 👉🏻 @astro.tb

Last night was the first clear evening in weeks, and no moon! Beautiful starry skies, but such cold hands!! 🥶 🧊 Here’s a little reminder of warmer summer days and birds gathering breakfast in the garden. ☀️

Enjoy your weekend!

Little stoat having a look around our garden. They change the color of their coat in the winter to mostly white, though I haven’t seen any this winter yet... This pic was taken at the end of July earlier this year.

Top nine from 2020, but with only 1 pic actually taken in 2020 in this grid - the one from the Cliffs of Moher, taken 2 weeks before the 💩 hit the fan with covid19. All the others are from my recent archives. 🤷🏻‍♂️
.
This year I’ll be focusing a lot more on improving my astrophotography, as it is a genre that I can more frequently shoot from my backyard. A few trips are indeed planned, but there’s no telling when travel will resume as before. I think it may be a while...

Dashing through the snow...
.
A few pics of our doggies Taiko and Yuma playing in our first “real” snowfall in 2 winters. About 30cm of the white stuff came down today! 🐾 ❄️ ⛄️.
.
Snow always provides a nice backdrop for some action pics!
.
I’ve been quiet on IG lately - enjoying some down-time with the family. Hope you’re doing the same!! 🥂🥃 🍻

No Geminids for me tonight due to heavy cloud cover, so I’m counting on others to take some great shots of the biggest meteor show of the year. 💫 ☄️
.
.
Instead, here’s a 180 degree milky pano of about 10 images. I posted this a while back but in the meantime I’ve cleaned up the jet trails.
.
Taken in La Joux-du-Plâne in the Canton of Neuchâtel at about 1200m.

Soon these guys will be back in our garden for the winter. Wary, but very photogenic (aren’t all birds? 😉).
.
Repost from a couple of years ago: Watch this Eurasian Jay go to work on this feeder. I call them the “backyard bullies” since they chase everything else away when they’re around, including woodpeckers and magpies.
.
Like many birds, I love how they meticulously dismantle the larger seeds, while the little ones go down in a two-step “grab-and-gulp” process. See the middle part of the video at 25% speed to see what I mean...

Shot remotely on a GoPro.

Hungry fox... 🦊
.
During the summer, a family of foxes had a burrow under the foundation of a friend’s house. One afternoon I went over for a little close-up portrait photo shoot.
.
I like the lovely rendering here with a portrait lens (58mm f/1.4).
.
Wishing everyone a nice weekend! ☀️
