Enchanted Beams Thread

Found few new shooting places, most of the pictures aren't good enough because dirty camera lens. I cleaned lens before shooting, but obviously not well enough.

Just one lousy pic this time.


Hey AD, never seen a lousy photo coming from your camera, your discarded pics are ones that most of us would love to be taking!

Few shots from last night..
My invisible airspace shield (Military shooting area) was in Active Mode.
Definitely clear airspace for beamshots.. :shhh:

Days are getting shorter and even stars are visible with bare eye..
Ursa Major can be seen on last images..

hahaha, I looked at the photos before I read your comments and thought to myself, "what a treat, I wonder if he realises he captured Ursa Major in the last shots". :beer:

You know when I was a kid I'd read the World Book Childcraft Encyclopaedia and I would read about Ursa Major & Minor.
Then I go outside with the Encyclopaedia open to the star map and line it up to North but always ending up frustrated because nothing would line up. :yabbmad:
I was too young to know that I was in the Southern Hemisphere. :banghead:

Beautiful shots once again Arctic !
Next, you need to get yourself a drone and get some aerial shots.
That's what I plan to do with my drone soon.

Thanks again for some very nice beam shots as the nights get long there. I guess it won't be too much longer until the snow starts to fly and we will get to see all new photos.

Thanks Andrew! I've been waiting to get a change to take pictures of Ursa Major long time. Last time in spring when there was enough darkness, Ursa Major was in Zenith and it was very difficult to capture. I've tried to capture it with my previous camera few years a go, but I had to use 30sec exposure. Stars are getting trails with that long exposure.

I have few friends who have a drone, so no need to buy one yet. -And I can't carry a drone on my hiking trips, camera & lasers are weighting enough already.. :crackup:

Thanks Paul!
Hopefully not yet soon, I would love to take some autumn pictures first..

Brilliant shots again ArcticDude.
That capture of UMa with that landscape was cool. :beer:
Andrew, now that would be good to see. You would need a very good drone though.

Edit: ArcticDude, get a drone that can carry.

It's ain't the drone weight what I am afraid, it's all the extra batteries

Bingo Curtis !!

This is my little buddy, "Alpha-Charlie-Bravo"
Folds up to fit in the palm of my hand, has a small pouch that's smaller than a man bag :crackup:and can go 7 km or 4.3 miles, 30 min flight time, 4k gimbal camera.

My gear bag weights over 20kg already... :crackup:

This drone with a battery and remote is less than 1kg. (Curtis, help me out here, let's convince him).

Once again awe inspiring pics, your pictures always put such a smile on my face. :thanks:

 

[CurtisOliver]

That drone is perfect!
20kg+1kg! You won't even feel the difference. :crackup:

More nice work AD, it looks as if you now have your own Guide Star laser up there!
I really like your number 3,4,and 5 shots, for the dock and moon in number 3, and that green glow reflecting off of the grasses in 4 & 5, good stuff!
