The Delabole Slate Quarry early dawn 4th May 2024

[AstroNebulee]

My Dslr version of the Delabole Slate Quarry, North Cornwall engulfed in mist. The quarry is over 425ft deep and 1.5 miles around. Imaged just after a good milky-way photography session. You can just make out the teapot asterim and Scorpius, with the fading milky-way. Taken on 4th May 2024 at 4.15am. Taken with Canon 600D and Samyang 14mm f2.8 lens, 1600iso 1/60. 2 images stitched together in Microsoft ICE and processed in Photoshop cs4.

You've made a lovely job of that Lee, well done.

Lateral thinking at its best    I saw your other version but this one concentrates on the mist.

Lovely Pic lee,

I'm not  that Fram from you ( Dorset)  and wish my skies were like that.

Very nice work.

Thank you both, so very much. 😊 It was to good an opportunity to miss getting this shot in, I just love how the quarry just hoovers up the mist (it rarely does that as the village is generally full of mist when it comes in here) . I'd been up most of the night with the dslr and milky-way and no work the next day so thought I'll go on a bit longer.

I am yet to process the landscape milky-way image and going to use another one of the mist filled quarry images for the foreground 

The skies aren't always like this, it's been a long time coming with clear skies, no moon and no work night.
