The Lone Tree under The Milky Way.

I had so many plans to shoot the Milky Way the last week or so, and waiting for a cloud free night is not great in the UK.
Yesterday, the weather gods were promising clear skies, but as I was in Snowdonia, we all know that low cloud seems to hover around the mountains, and that's exactly how things turned out.

From initially planning to shoot Dolbadarn Castle, I thought I'd seek the easier option so I could get back to the van in case of a total cloud over.

2a.m. wasn't looking great, and that's how it kind of went all the way up to 4:30a.m.
There were breaks every now and again with some parts visible and some not, and this shot was around the 4a.m. mark with the most overall view of the Milky Way.
Don't get me wrong, it isn't the clearest picture. It's quite grainy, and to add to that, I was testing an old Canon 60D with Astro mod😆.
I had to push it up to 4000 ISO and on a single unstacked shot that isn't great. But...

I am happy with what I capture as life isn't always perfect, and it just shows we can get something out of it if we just keep going. 🤘 🌟

Brilliant weekend away in the Lakes.

This shot is from Keswick looking over towards Derwent Island and Catbells in the back.

Was lovely to see the mist across the waters.

Too easy or too hard? Let me know.

The main Feature isn't always the main feature. This is something I've learnt over my time doing photography.
From Mam Tor, we automatically hone in on The Great Ridge. While weather conditions are absolutely mental it looks amazing. But...
There's so much more happening. You have to watch how the light flows across the surrounding landscape and there's generally some even more amazing shots to be had.

Taken from Mam Tor November 2022. The amazing Inversion surrounding the whole of Mam Tor, but as the mist lowered off and the warm light crossed the landscape, there was so much happening.

Imagine seeing the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) in the Peak District.

Well I can't actually believe it but my trip totally paid off.
Check out the first part and a little more activity towards the end. 😀
