Professional labor photographer. Unions for all. Birds. Whales. Cats. Hydration. Maybe a dash of democratic socialism. Not necessarily in that order. Too much optimism for the current moment.

This would have been cooler as a long exposure, but to me it's fucking fantastic. Back to work now!

Only dark sky park in Pennsylvania, and this is the only one in Ohio. It's not as dark as going to the hills of West Virginia but it's better than... Tamaqua 😂
What's so weird about Pennsylvania is that there's SO MANY rural farms with buildings it really fucks up the dark sky for the state

That's the end of Milky Way Season 2025 for this guy.
Earlier tonight somewhere in California.
2x sky shots and a couple foregrounds merged.
Rough ending, but a glorious season. By far my best.
2026 we're planning the early season much tighter.
We're coming for your panoramas, galaxy.

Ya that was a REAL rough one. I don't even know if I'll bother trying to edit this on my laptop. Maybe I'll see if I can pull the comet out alone. Ironically my best shot of the comet, which I didn't know was still visable!

Sorry to stop by with some joy, I'm pretty anxious myself too, but luckily I found the ducks I was looking for. Backlit which can be better for editing later on. Just some quick edits. 🪶

Here's a video of I would guess a third of the sandhill cranes that I saw last night. A ton flew north about an hour before Sunset. if you go into the NWR at the bench where you can watch the area you would have had a much better view of this. I guess the designers know what they're doing 😭 🪶
