14249351 - This is a 360° panorama of the May 10/11, 2024 great aurora display, when the Kp Index reached 8 this night bringing aurora to as far south as the southern U.S. Here, from my home in southern Alberta, Canada (latitude 51° N) it is exhibiting very odd vertical blue and magenta rays across the western (left), northern (bottom), and eastern (right) sky, and an odder bright patch to the south at top. This was toward the end of the main activity of the show for me this night, at about 2:30 am. These distinctive blue rays appeared like this only at this time after the main show died down. The colour13897522 - Sunset colours over White Sands National Monument, New Mexico, December 10, 2013. Venus is at left of centre. This is an HDR (High Dynamic Range) stack of 7 exposures at 2/3 stop increments from -2 to +2 EV, processed first with ACR then with Photomatix Pro. Images taken with the 14mm Rokinon lens at f/4 and Canon 5D MkII at ISO 100. While colour vibrancy has been enhanced the colours to the eye were quite vivid. The HDR technique brings out details in the dark ground while preserving the bright sky.13900260 - The well-publicized - if not overly publicized! - supermoon (a perigee Full Moon) of November 14, 2016, seen here about 3 degrees above the horizon, rising out of low clouds. The yellow colour is natural, and illuminated the field with a golden glow. However, this is a stack of 4 exposures, from long to short, to create an “HDR” style stack as the longest exposure needed for the clouds blew out the bright Moon. A short exposure was needed for the Moon itself. I took 4 exposures at about 2 stop increments from 1.5 seconds to 1/15 second and blended them not with HDR software but with luminosity13844947 - A Musca domestica or house fly showing a severe mite infestion; three mites under the subgenal area and two more between labellum and thorax.

This was on a very clear night in mid-October, 2022, with many aspen stands still in full autumn colour. The images for this scene were shot at moonrise, with the waning gibbous Moon off frame at right lighting the sky blue and landscape with warm alpenglow moonlight. As bonus, a short bright meteor and its orange "smoke" trail appeared on the sky exposures. I shot this during the first weekend of the 2022 Jasper D13847933 - a close up of a Musca domestica or house fly showing a severe mite infestion; three mites under the subgenal area .
