That frustrating feeling when you see perfect lighting and a landscape that pops but you don't have your big camera handy

For anyone not aware, Canada & north states should have a good show overnight tonight.

This 2-shot pano was taken May 10, '24.

If you love irises, give me a follow, I'll be busy posting this spring.

The way the morning dew was coating this tulip was just fabulous to experience.

Always bad about posting on bsky but here's one of my better shots during totality last night, where I got a few stars in the background as well.
The Worm Blood Moon, 13/14 March, 2025
Nikon Z6 ii // 100-400 Nikkor lens w/ a x2.0 tc
Shot at 2sec. // 800mm // f10 // ISO 6400
A black sky with several faint stars, dominated by the bright red moon during a total lunar eclipse. The moon grades from dark brick red to a pale orange-red with a minimal sliver of white sunlight along the upper edge.

Vote "Withhold/No" on all.
Note: You need to have made a $10+ purchase in 2024 (or signed up as a new member in 2024). I made a purchase this year, but not last and it wouldn't let me vote.

Back at my battlestation, working on full Lightroom and Photoshop rather than on my iPad while on vacation. Decided to purge and edit some sunset shots from the Point Defiance area from Jan.22.

Click and rotate!
