BLUE HOUR OVER MULETOWN

This morning's sunrise was really nice. I was hoping the sunset would be nice as well. It didn't turn out, but I do like this blue hour shot.

A QUICK STOP AT CASTLE GWYNN

After work, I grabbed some footage at Castle Gwynn to create a short video. This castle has grown since my days of attending the Renaissance Festival.

ANTI-TAIL

In this comet shot, you can see a hint of the anti-tail sticking out in the opposite direction of its normal tail along with some plasma and dust. Here’s an explanation of the anti-tail: “This secondary tail appears to protrude forward from the comet's nucleus in the opposite direction of the “normal” tail. An anti-tail is not a physically separate feature, but a perspective effect created when the comet's tail arcs back behind itself from our point of view.” Check out my timelapse video of the comet in my previous post if you haven't seen it.

COMET TSUCHINSHAN-ATLAS

It's been fun chasing this comet. Over the last several nights, it has become increasingly harder to see with the naked eye, but it hasn't escaped the eye of the camera just yet. I hope you enjoy this timelapse video.

HOUSE ON THE HILL

Here's another perspective of Comet Tsuchinshan-Atlas. I got a late jump on heading to a spot to get pictures. I passed this house and decided to use it for my foreground. Check out my previous comet post if you haven't seen it.

FLEETING VIEWS

I checked out the comet last night. It was cloudy at the horizon, but I was able to catch some fleeting glimpses of Comet Tsuchinshan-Atlas (C/2023-A3). This is a very rare comet. It was last visible from Earth 80,000 years ago. I believe it is safe to say, we won't be seeing this one again after it's gone. I was a bit taken back when it became visible for a few seconds to the naked eye. It had a large presence in the sky with its long tail. I may venture out this evening to try again if the sky is clear. If you haven't seen it, check it out! It's getting higher in the evening sky each night, but its visible magnitude is fading.

Wounded Warrior Project 2024

I had a blast hanging out with the Wounded Warriors today! I always love meeting these brave men and women, and I love learning about their lives and backgrounds. Hearing their stories can be sobering, and their stories can put things in perspective. I meet at least one photographer each year. This year a soldier told me how photography helped him through his PTSD. He said it all started when he took a picture of a leaf. It's amazing how something so simple can be so profound. THANK YOU to all the brave men and women who have served our country! I recorded some video. If things turn out, stay tuned for a short film.
