Fuji XE1 with Voigtlander Nokton Classic
Nice layering... Lovely light

Thats great. Love how it has picked up your light beam into space... cracking colours and detail.
Thanks a lot, my second try with astrophotography! Found a good rural spot with as little light pollution as possible and finally found some use for my headlamp again. I've seen it a few times and wanted to see how it looks myself.
30s exposure on f3.5 with PP in Lightroom to tweak the curves and levels mostly.

I was going to ask your settings. I have tried this before and failed. I just get an orange glow so suspect that is because I am not in a dark enough spot. Need to make an effort to go to a dark place and try again.
There is a windfarm not far from me, I wonder if maybe I could get a good image of a sky and one of the towers in it in silhouette.
Nice shot well done.
Is that a KwikSave balloon? do they still exist? Not seen a KwikSave in donkeys years!
Thanks a lot.
A day before I have failed as well - quite a lot of clouds and the settings were just not right. One thing, which is really important is to find a spot without any light pollution or very little and then get a nice rural sky.
A handheld quickie of a tiny (3mm long) Jumpy-Jumpy from yesterday afternoon in the front yard. Considering I'm as wobbly as all get up, the image is handheld and my macro lens has no image stabilisation, I'm well chuffed with my luck to get focus across all eight eyes.

Even though it's a picture that sends shivers down my spine that's a really good shot Alex. Good job mate.

Chris, I could see this printed large and on a doctors waiting room wall. Very nice!
Another one of the Clyde - see, the retro effect has worn-off already. Comments always appreciated

I believe it is. I read somewhere, that the smaller the basket is often the older the balloon is. In other words as they get older and less reliable they are only licensed to take a smaller number of people.
So I haven't seen one in years either. Apparently they went into administration in 2007 but started up again in 2012. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kwik_Save
Another Balloon with a slightly different process. Might not be to everyone's taste, but I like it.

OOH I really like that one... nice contrast from the balloon to the burner and the clouds. Only thing is the tree, not sure I am liking the imbalance.
