- Notice the lights of the hikers visiting the Piton Bert (the best viewpoint of the eruptiob) from the parking Foc-Foc.
- The Piton de la Fournaise erupted illuminating a portion of the enclosure.
- In the middle, the Milky Way.
- Also notice the Zodiacal Light with Mercury, the brightest object.
- At the top, the Piton des Neiges, the highest peak in the Indian Ocean.

Candles in the Dark


Unusual Light Pillars over Provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina.

On the night of July 20th 2015.

This 7 vertical image panorama (Sony a7 / 14mm Rokinon 2.8 / Iso 8000 / 20150720 / 00:00 UT) documents a series of light pillars, at General Belgrano, Provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina.

I was doing stars photos, however, clouds came in, there was an meteorological prediction of a partially clouded night, however I couln't missed the chance of doing some milky way images in the early winter night, so I went there, to the Salado River, I walk around 1 hour and a half to get to this possition.

I saw a Light pillar in directon to a town called Castelli about 50 km away, then a second light pillar appears in direction to a town called Guerrero. Air was moving from NW to SE.

I was packing to get back, after a couple of images and a time lapse, but then I witness what I called an amazing atmosphere moment, since there was not only one, there was several light pillars, I never saw something like this before, I was impressed and it was a shocking moment.

Stargazing in Paradise

Taken at the Dry Tortugas National Park off of Key West Florida from the campgrounds. My daughter and son-in-law posed for me while I exposed for 60 seconds with a modified Canon T3i on a sky tracker. Just before the exposure ended, I gave them a little flash to lighten them up against the milky way. Shot at ISO 800. The skies at this national part are gloriously dark.
