August Rainbow

11.8.2014 von Guido · Category: Rainbows, Skywatching

We didn’t get many rainbows this year, so the one from this evening was an especially beautiful occasion. I took a whole bunch of pictures, this one is just a preliminary version of one of the panoramas – I think I can do better, but here’s just a preview.

Grape Thief in Action

This is slightly blurry and heavily filtered, because the original was incredibly grainy – but here’s Mr. Young Blackbird at work! You can see how his plumage is starting to get darker beginning on the tail.

Moonstack #40 – Supermoon 2014 Edition

11.8.2014 von Guido · Category: Astronomy, Moon


Here’s yesterday’s Supermoon – you can see how big it is because it barely fits into my usual 400×400 pixel frame, the maximum resolution I can get with my camera. I processed this a little bit heavier than usual, because the original looked a little flat. I will also look in my unprocessed Moon shots from this year if there are any earlier full moons suitable for a new Supermoon comparison!

Another Rose, but how can I resist them?

A slightly heart-shaped Rose – or maybe it’s just pareidolia?
