Those are awesome! 😲

Haha, thank you. I have a lot more unprocessed raw images on my hard drive, but it takes quite a lot of time to process it until I'm happy with the final result, so I will need to commit more time to it if I'm serious about it 😅 Took a bunch of Jupiter images recently, and it's my first planetary observation+photography, so I'm quite eager to see how it works out.

That's actually not it :D The Triangulum galaxy is M33, the one I took there is M101, also known as the Pinwheel Galaxy. This one: https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap150614.html

Still brilliant from my whoops, I am trying to match them up via Googlr search but your shots are brilliant, it keeps me looking when you show one and I then see if I can find it, one of my all time favourites is the M2-9: Wings of a Butterfly Nebula, maybe you should try looking for that.

Frozen moment in time wins Wildlife People’s Choice photo competition

Tribute to a lost friend wins the vote at the Wildlife Photographer of the Year People's Choice award.

A wintery scene of willow branches reflected in an icy Italian lake has won the public vote for the Wildlife Photographer of the Year People’s Choice Award 2021.

Italian photographer Cristiano Vendramin gained the most votes for his breath-taking landscape, from a shortlist of 25 images. The shortlist was chosen by the Natural History Museum London, from a huge amount of entries from around the world.

Vendramin was visiting Santa Croce Lake in northern Italy in 2019, when he noticed the water was unusually high. The willow plants were partially submerged, creating a play of light and reflections on the surface of the water. He was reminded of a dear friend, who had loved that special place but sadly had passed away.

Wildlife Photographer of the Year is developed and produced by the Natural History Museum. The latest competition is currently being judged by a panel of experts, and the winners will be revealed in October 2022.

A leopard seal catches her lunch: The World Nature Photography Award winners

The winners of the 2021 World Nature Photography Awards have just been announced.

The World Nature Photography Awards have announced their winners from a pool of entries that were received from all corners of the globe.

The top award went to Amos Nachoum from the United States for his image of a leopard seal about to capture a defenceless Gentoo penguin. Nachoum waited patiently for hours on the remote island of Plano, off the Antarctic Peninsula, for the right moment at low tide, when the seals stealthily enter a lagoon and search for their prey.

Adrian Dinsdale, co-founder of the WNPAs, said: “As always, it’s such a thrill to see the amazing calibre of entries into the awards. Seeing these images cannot fail to motivate one to do everything to protect this fragile planet of ours. We offer our heartfelt congratulations to all the winners.”

The World Nature Photography Awards were founded in the belief that we can all make small efforts to shape the future of our planet in a positive way and that photography can influence people to see the world from a different perspective and change their own habits for the good of the planet.

Wee Kaiden loves visiting it with our daughter, if he is uptight about something (school etc) he likes looking at the graffiti pics, he will go home after and draw pictures of them.

International Space Station captured travelling in front of Sun

A.png

A photographer has captured an image of the International Space Station silhouetted in front of the Sun.

Jamie Cooper, 52, realised it was expected to be visible above his home in Whilton, near Daventry, Northamptonshire, on 17 June.

He shot its "entire transit" across the Sun at 10:22 BST, an event which lasted less than a second, using a telescope and a high speed video camera.

"This was an opportunity not to be missed," he said.

Mr Cooper, a professional photographer and keen amateur astronomer, said he was in the right place at the right time.

"There's a very narrow band where you, the space station and Sun are all in a straight line and it's about three miles wide," he said.

"I'd checked the data three days before and it was going to miss my house, I checked the day before and it was going to be over my house, so I was lucky."

The space station was about 250 miles (400km) away when above his house and travelling at about 17,000mph (27,300km/h).

Mr Cooper said his very high speed video camera was shooting at 80 frames a second, compared to a normal camera speed of 25 frames.

He added: "It's important to say I use a specialist telescope with a filter because you should never look at the Sun without a filter - it can lead to permanent blindness."
