The Lunar Eclipse 🌖 : Today’s blood moon, shot on a small elevated clearing in Zimbabwe’s bush around 5am, as the lions roar in the distance.

One of the most amazing places I’ve ever visited. Deadvlei in 🇳🇦 

The abandoned ghost village of Kolmanskop in 🇳🇦 

The Quiver Tree Forest of Namibia 🇳🇦 

Currently in 🇳🇦- I know astro month is over but oh well 🤷‍♂️ 

Trails, light painting, a tent and a bonfire.

The Orion Nebula. 

The Orion Nebula, or M42, is a region of star formation in our Milky Way, 1344 light years away, yet visible to the naked eye in clear skies. Shot in the Dubai desert with my mirrorless camera and a tracker, total of 20 min exposure was used in the final image. 

The Girl and the Galaxy. 

Still one of my favourite photographs ever, “The Girl and the Galaxy” is exploring the relationship between humanity, earth, and the universe. The light of the Andromeda galaxy reaches our planet after travelling for 2.5 million years, yet at virtually the same time as the silhouette cast by the human observer and the ridges of the Hajar mountains.

This is not a composite image, but tracking and stacking was used to collect enough data to bring out the faint details of our sister galaxy. It took quite a bit of planning, exploration, and over two hours at location to capture this, just over a year ago.

Adding something for the Astro category 😀

We had fog this morning, but I was sleeping 😴 

Bioluminescent plankton on the beaches of Oman 🇴🇲 ✨
