The purple hue comes from rocket propellant bonfires behind me. =)

  19. Sometimes, one has to get out of town to get the best shots. Sometimes, one needs to keep attuned to extra-ordinary situations, a merging of contexts, to capture an image that is unlike any other.

    Very well-done! C’est vraiment très beau!

    The scale can be deceiving; my camera is about 1 foot off the ground.

    Great Shot !!!

  29. beautifully taken! The shutter speed just enough to take the stars but not the trails!

  30. Great shot! I like how the moon is composed.

    This is only achievable with great gear, and your 2.8 glass does the heavy lifting on this one, but a great shot still.

    Just goes to show you that you get the right guy the right gear and he can do something with it.
