Sky watch Friday - Shades of gray

August 28th, 2008 Peter Korkala

This week’s photo will be a large contrast to last week’s sunset - misty hills on a rainy evening.

Sunset in the woods - Sky Watch Friday

August 21st, 2008 Peter Korkala

Here’s a fresh photo (about one hour old) from today’s sunset in the woods:

Happy Sky Watch Friday everyone! And thanks for all the great comments in my earlier SWF-posts!

If you’re one of my fellow SWF-visitors, why don’t you also take a look at my photo of the Lunar Eclipse the other night? First I was thinking that I should use it as this week’s SWF, but I couldn’t wait to put it up here in my blog…

A walk in the woods

August 20th, 2008 Peter Korkala

We were out in the woods for a walk this afternoon (between showers). It was really nice - the air is so fresh out in the woods - and you’re almost guaranteed to get some good photos.

A very common sight this summer

August 20th, 2008 Peter Korkala

The garden table full of water. It feels like it has rained all summer, with very few exceptions.

Lunar Eclipse

August 17th, 2008 Peter Korkala

I almost missed tonight’s lunar eclipse, but thanks to a local newsfeed (Wighsnews) about the lunar eclipse I managed to get some photos of it.

Lunar Eclipse - 1/25, F13, 55 mm. Cropped.

I tried both with long and short shutter speeds, but with the long ones the photo was way to light (and with that, the eclipse was gone).

I really want to have another lense, I’d love to have a fast, good zoom lense, but they are very expensive… But someday… :)

Sky watch Friday - Polar stratospheric clouds

August 1st, 2008 Peter Korkala

This Sky Watch Friday is from last week - I put up the wrong link in the Sky Wath Friday-comment… This weeks SWF is found here. But you may want to look at this too… :)

This Friday’s Sky Watch Friday photos will be from my archive (I think that’s Ok?), more specific from January 25, 2008. This day I saw a strange phenomena that i’ve never seen before - clouds called Polar stratospheric clouds (read about them on Wikipedia).

They are very impressing, and I took a lot of photos!

I think I need to say that the photos are not Photoshopped, only resized.
