These tiny cleaner gobies are super common in the Caribbean, but I liked the textured background of the brain coral.

A tiny cleaning goby sits on the surface of a brain coral. The goby has a black upper half, white lower half and a yellow stripe down each side of its head to the eyes, which fade into white-ish blue stripes down the rest of its side.

Here's a sneak peek at a cool critter from the Bahamas: the neck crab! This one is hanging upside down from a green sponge and is well camouflaged.

Spotted at Logan Airport in Boston. Guess where this flight is headed? 🏈 (I'm headed south, just walking by 😀)

My phone has been buzzing about solar flares and these monster sunspots did not disappoint! This image was captured at 1pm on February 4th.

Just sold 2 items on my website! A customer in Colorado purchased a sherpa fleece blanket of Andromeda and a photo print of Heart Nebula (perhaps Valentine's Day gifts???)

Flying squirrel! Just kidding, it's a gray squirrel that bolted away as I slowly approached. My shutter was set at 1/320, but he was speedy.

Black-capped chickadee on our feeder. I was sitting pretty close to the feeder, so most other birds were nervous about approaching, but the chickadees were unbothered.

The Eastern half of the US has some nasty winter weather last weekend. Some places had ice accumulation, but we had about 18" of snow. Here's a time lapse!

It snowed all day and overnight last weekend, so I decided to time lapse out the back door. My GoPro decided it didn't want to record for awhile, which was disappointing but you can see just how much…

I took the rare break in the clouds as an opportunity to get my first moon image in awhile. This image was captured on January 27th with the moon 74% waxing. Lovely, as always!

Last year, I took a road trip down to North Carolina to dive with sand tiger #sharks. Filmed over several days, so you’re seeing different sharks across multiple dives.

Alright, fellow astrophotographers. Let's see your snow fort observatories! Here's mine up here in snowy Massachusetts, USA. We got about 18 inches of snow last weekend and there's no thaw in the forecastable future.

Playing with the OM-1's live composite mode while using my fisheye lens. The thin clouds created a surreal effect.

THREE (!!!) long-eared owls resting together as the sun goes down. These images are a heavy crop with Lightroom denoise as I didn't have enough focal length and the light was fading as sunset approached.

It has been a busy couple days for Earth's magnetic field as the sun has been pummeling us with material. With all this sunspot activity, it's easy to see why!

I came across this pair of birds in an unfrozen part of the lake and just assumed it was a pair of the same species. I later realized this was a male hooded merganser and male bufflehead chilling (literally) together.

Dive #2 with the OM-1! I set the AF limiter correctly and it's a good thing I did because there were tiny sea slugs EVERYWHERE.

#underwaterPhotography #scuba #scubaDiving #olympus #om1 #shrimp #nudibranchs #NewEngland #coldWater 🦑
Placida dendritica sea slug crawling along a stalk of sea fleece with a couple Norther lacuna snails A chameleon shrimp in the water column. I'm impressed with the focus on this one as subjects in the water column are notoriously difficult. Placida dendritica sea slug reaching out from a stalk of sea fleece The water was flat calm and 41F, but the sun came out after the dive and the air temps were in the high 40s. Nice day!

PixInsight just added a new step for rejecting frames during the stacking process! My current intake process will filter out obvious things like clouds, but Frame Selection exposed a potential issue with my frames shot during the full moon. Sweet!

Horsehead and Flame Nebula are a rite of passage for any new camera gear, so I pointed my ToupTek585M at it and snapped away with L, R, G, and B filters.

First dive with my new Olympus OM-1 and of 2026! Nice surface conditions, freezing cold crystal clear water, and some good macro critters made for a nice dive!

Maybe the biggest snowflakes I've ever seen! The weather is all over the place today alternating between rain, freezing rain, and snow. What is weather like where you are?
