...cheers, Paul.

That is fantastic.  Well worth a detailed look!!

Thank you.

All shots fuelled by Fry's Chocolate Cream bars which as we all know is Rich Dark Chocolate with a smooth Fondant Centre

I've been frugal with the chocolate of late 

Good to see you out!

Definitely making the best of the human presence.  I prefer the first image.

Nice work!  Paul

Gorgeous!

Were you able to get a 13s image on a regular camera tripod Paul? 

Yes, static.  A tad long for 24mm on a full frame, but the slight trailing makes stars more prominent.

I also noticed you snagged M81 / 82. They really are quite clear.

Thank you @davew I hadn't seen those!  M101 and M51 also.  Trying 'proper' landscape composition...

...cheers, Paul.

Must have been an awesome experience out there on the beach. 

One to revisit!!  Thank you.  Cheers, Paul.

Thank you Martin 

Well done anyone who managed an image of NLCs this season!

Cheers, Paul.

...from 5th July.  Black Nab at Saltwick Bay, North Yorkshire.  One a single image at 24mm, the other a poor focus stack at 50mm.  Canon R8.

It was a very atmospheric experience!

The dark skies return to 54N in a few days!    Cheers, Paul.

Now that has inspired me!  How long were the subs?  Thanks, Paul.

Delicate white Noctilucent Clouds over Black Nab and the wreck of the trawler Admiral von Tromp, Saltwick Bay, N. Yorkshire.  About 23.10 on 5th July.  Canon R8, Sigma 24mm. ISO800, f5.6, 1s.  LR and PS.

Played hide and seek with the clouds.  A very tidal location.  Fantastic couple of hours!!  Cheers, Paul.

Over Teesdale - night of 15/16 June.  Animation of 8 frame panorama.  Canon R8, Sigma 105mm.  LR, MS ICE, PS, Pictures2Exe and VSDC Video Editor.  Has some royalty-free audio by Lee Rosevere.  Cheers, Paul.  *it fades in*

Misty Teesdale - slim pickings so far this NLC season.  Night of 14/15 June.

Crop of 9 frame panorama.  Canon R8, Sigma 105mm.  Lightroom, MS Image Composite Editor.  Needs a zoom and a pan.  Cheers, Paul.

Thank you @FenlandPaul  I have updated the panorama.  It was suffering from 'initial overprocessing syndrome'.  The clouds have more detail now.  My excuse was the 3 nights in a row of very little sleep  🤣  cheers, Paul.

16th June, around 01.00.  Canon R8, Sigma 105 for panorama.  Canon 6D MkII, Sigma 24mm and 50mm for time lapses.  Processed with Lightroom, MSICE, Photoshop, VSDC video editor, Pictures2Exe (P2E).

Panorama needs a click.

A very bright display!!  Cheers, Paul.

About 00.45, 15th June.  Two crops of a 5 x 5s, f4, iso800 panorama.  Canon 6 D MkII, Sigma 105mm.  LR, MS ICE and PS.

Looking forward to bigger and brighter displays!  Paul.

Great read @FenlandPaul !

Hadn't seen the Leo compositions, nice.

Misty aurora is magic.

...a couple of composites to end the season.

Foreground lighting is very dim and for full duration of exposures.

Mill ruins - foreground 4 x 180s, iso1600, f4 and 2 darks.  Sky 8 x 120s tracked and stacked.

Rusty crater - foreground 4 x 120s, iso1600, f4 and 2 darks.  Sky 8 x 8s, f2.5, iso2500.  Sky position is lower than real life.

Canon 6D MkII and R8 with Sigma 24mm f1.4.  LR, Sequator and PS.

Cheers, Paul.

@FenlandPaul Now I have the R8 and 6D, star trails and time lapses are back on the To Do list!

'people might think it's a bit odd really...'  😂  Perfectly normal behaviour!

Like others, 'Serpentine' really stands out!  Great to see on a bigger screen and resolution.

Thank you for sharing the vlog along with the images.  Cheers, Paul.

What, no barns!

Cool train effect.

Is the body as light as it looks ?

The R8 is very compact and light.  Seems robust enough as well.  I've a tripod lens collar for the EOS - R lens adapter that works well for balance.

Hoping the R8 helps with detail in ambient foregrounds.

Cheers, Paul.
