This is a fantasyscape(?) from Windy Point/Mt Lemmon. In the distance is Mt Wrightson ~40miles away. This is a 3 exposure blend, 1 for the sunset/foreground, 1 to capture the city lights and the last one for the stars. Each photo was about 30 minutes apart, so I suppose this is more of a timelapse condensed in to a still frame. I used a polarizer filter to maximize the color from the sunset, a sturdy tripod and a bowl of soup while I waited of course.
Actually brought my good camera out during sunset for once
I'm kind of proud of these. Fucking gorgeous sunset amiright? On flickr also.
This is basically what I did over winter break, just blog on the interwebs, hang out with friends, stargaze, some photography, hiking and jog around sunset pretty much everyday while listening to podcasts like SGU. Twas a good break indeed. Now the semester has started again and I will be focusing on that so expect fewer posts from me. This is my official goodbye since I kind of just stopped posting things without any warning last semester, oops. There are plenty of other science blogs out there tho so don't worry, #Science is a good place to start.
