Our sun, Sol, as seen through a Lunt 60mm/1200 solar scope with hydrogen alpha filter.
Impact Crater
While this was definitely taken here on Earth, the texture and composition remind me of an impact crater on the moon…or a distant planet.
Six Three Two Five
Maybe not the best subject material, but I love the way my macro lens shows off the fibres of paper.
Fly Paper
This fly has been buzzing around our place for days and I think he’s finally getting tired. He’ll land and stay pretty still for several minutes at a time. I took the opportunity to snap a few shots.
Moon in Motion
I took several shots of the moon a couple of weeks ago and parsed them together into this single exposure, showing just a small portion of the path of the moon as it travels around the Earth.
Annular Eclipse
The 2012 annular eclipse, as seen from Richmond Hill, Ontario.
Earthshine
Light from the sun hits the moon on one side, resulting in the sliver of light we normally see from a waxing moon, and it also reflects off the Earth toward the moon, faintly illuminating the entire lunar surface. The bright light to the left is the planet Venus, which is currently slightly farther away from Earth than the sun. The blue star just above the moon is Dabih, which is more than 344 lightyears from Earth (meaning the light we see from that star now has taken 344 years to reach us.)
Monster High
Monster High dolls, shot in infrared.
View from the Aspahlt
The same rural road from two days ago, out in Melancthon, Ontario.
Jack-o-lantern
A rotting pumpkin, carved into a jack-o-lantern, from Hallowe’en last year. Boo!
