Oh man. I’m thinking 200mm, f/8, 1/1500, ISO 2400, right at sunset from that exact spot. Crack open a couple cans of tuna 20 minutes before.
ProTip: Never pick a fight with a tree planter. He swings a hoedad for 9 hours a day, carries 30-40 pounds of seedlings on his back, and has 12-14 friends just like him hiding out on the other side of the junk butt pile. They will fuck your shit up.

Heck, guess I oughta actually post a pic.

I kicked up 3 blue herons, a half dozen wood ducks, and two bald eagles here today. Gotta go back next week; going to stay over, bring the 11-16 and 200-500, sneak in at sunset, and see what I can see.

Not today, but a few years ago.
I was working at a Telco cross-connect box, and I was hearing a buzzing sound, and I felt hot metal hit my hard hat.
Having been a power company lineman before my Telco days, I knew what that sound was.

The slow-blow fuse on the circuit above me didn't exactly blow.  I saw this about 90 seconds before it actually blew.
There are reasons I don't work for power companies anymore.

I have been adding some exposure time. This is 8 hours and 17 minutes over three nights. The supernova has gotten brighter and should brighten for at least a few more days still before it begins to fade.

497x60 seconds

I had a work trip waaay north up to Anaktuvuk Pass this last week.  I managed to get some photos taken between work stuff.  I'm still offloading the camera, but since I finally finished my state med boards and got my license for my primary job, I'll hopefully have time for more photo work.

One of my bucket list shots is catching fog/clouds streaming over mountain ridges falling into verdant valleys. The whole temperature, pressure, humidity thing. Think that Arrival movie when they chopper into the Montana site.

It’s the kind of thing I’ll never catch without spending months in the right place at the right time of year at a high latitude mountainous site, but there’s always hope!

Well done.

ETA, this is the closest I’ve ever come, and while it has its charm, it’s not the nugget.
