Night Sky

9/30/2015

0 Comments

 
One of my favorite things to take photos of is the night's skydom. Stars like this are always hard to see in the lower mainland due to the light pollution. One will have to trek out in the darker areas to be able to get a view like this. A fast lens helps too. Here I used a 50mm lens to get these shots from Hope, BC. 

(The moon was added from another shot in post-production - just to give it that little something extra)

Supermoon Eclipse

9/28/2015

Tonight I had the privilege of viewing the Supermoon Eclipse, and it won't happen again until 2033. Unfortunately, the haze (let's blame pollution) prevented me from taking decent pictures during the orange hue and peak, but when the skies cleared, I was able to get the end of the eclipse and the full moon itself at 300mm. Later I woke up early to check out the leftovers at 6:30am. Although times like these make me wish I had a faster and longer lens so I can get more detail. Even though I didn't get all the shots I was hoping for, I still enjoyed watching this rare celestial event.

Orange Moon

8/2/2015

The moon looked just as amazing tonight!

Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to shoot the full "blue moon" last night, but when I went outside about an hour ago, it looked like this and I immediately grabbed my camera and tripod. We had an amazing orange sunset earlier this evening and at midnight the moon was orange. Normally, I only see this shade during moonrise and moonset, but there was some serious refraction tonight.

No colour edits were made - what you see is what it looked like in the sky.

Blood Moon

4/4/2015

Got up early this morning to catch a rare celestial event; the shortest "Blood Moon" total lunar eclipse this century. The moon reached totality for only a couple minutes, and reappeared with a coppery glow. It was quite beautiful to watch.

Okay, back to bed.
