Tungeneset, Senja, Norway #landscape #Landscapephotography #Norway #Senja #coast #sea #blackandwhitephotography

In the foreground are two long rock pools on a coastline, filled with perfectly still water. Beyond is a relatively calm sea, while on the horizon is a mountain range, with several jagged peaks. The sky is streaky clouds. All in black and white, creating an image of strong contrasts.

Sunset, Senja, Norway #landscape #Landscapephotography #Norway #Senjs #sunset

A sea fjord extends to the horizon, which is perfectly still. To the right is a high vertical cliff in silhouette, on top of which stand two people, looking very small. To the left, across the fjord, is a silhouetted chain of mountains. Above the sky is mottled cloud, lit yellow by the sun, which is just setting behind the mountains.

Continuing a mist and reflections theme, Lofoten, Norway #landscape #Landscapephotography #Norway #Lofoten #mist #reflections #mountains

In the foreground is a perfectly still fjord, in the middle of which is a small boat. Across the fjord are a range of mountains disappearing into the distance, and reflected in the still water. Low cloud is skirting the top of the mountains, while the mountains themselves are covered in a lot of yellow and orange autumn coloured bushes.

Mist and reflections,Lofoten, Norway #landscape #Landscapephotography #Norway #Lofoten #mist #reflections #mountains

In the middle of the view is a large lake, with very still water. Behind are hills and mountains, the nearest ones to the lake catching the light, highlighting the autumn colours of the vegetation on them, while the further ones blend into mist and low cloud. The still water reflects the mountains. In the immediate foreground is an arc of pinkish wild flowers.

Evening reflections,Lofoten, Norway #landscape #Landscapephotography #Norway #Lofoten #sunset #reflections #mountains

In the foreground is a perfectly still lake. On the horizon is a row of mountains, in a broad W shape, with the highest point in the middle. These mountains are reflected in the still lake. The sky is a golden yellow of sunset, bathing the mountains and lake in a warm glow.

Light and dark, Lofoten, Norway #landscape #Landscapephotography #Norway #Lofoten #moody #sky

In the foreground is a fjord, with a small, dark rock island. Behind on the horizon runs a chain of mountain peaks. The sky consists of mottled dark clouds, creating different contrasts of light on the mountains, including a few shafts of light. A very moody and atmospheric view.

Off the tourist trail in Lofoten, exploring Solbjørnvatnet #landscape #Landscapephotography #Lofoten #Norway #drone

A large irregular lake is seen from the air, with the closest side bordered by low hills, covered in plants, and sporting autumn colours of yellow and orange. The far side of the lake borders a range of towering mountains with multiple jagged peaks. The sky is full of moody grey and white clouds.

Moody weather today in Lofoten, Norway #landscape #Landscapephotography #Norway #Lofoten #moody #sky #autumn

In the foreground, the end of a fjord meets a coastline coloured yellow in autumn colours. Above rises a series of dramatic mountains, including a very triangular peaked one just right of centre. The sky is a dramatic mix of grey and dark clouds, including low cloud moving across the mountain peak tops.

In Senja, Norway, at the iconic Segla Mountain in late afternoon light. #landscape #Landscapephotography #Norway #Senja #sunset #mountain

A very steep vertical mountain rises upwards, with the steep left sude descending to a saddle valley overlooking a fjord, while the near vertical right side drops down to water level in the fjord below. In the background are many high, multiple peaked mountains. The golden late afternoon sun is striking the right side of the mountain, painting it yellow orange. The sky is blue with whispy streaks of cloud.

Blue hour #LaPalma #sunset #telescopes #landscape #Landscapephotography

An observatory with a round dome roof is to the right, with the roof parted. Below is a blanket of cloud, while the sky above is just post sunset, with an orange glow above the cloudline.

Sunset reflections #LaPalma #sunset #telescopes #landscape #Landscapephotography

3 radio telescopes are facing right, with dishes made up of reflective mirrors, which are catching the yellow of a setting sun making them glow. On the hillside above to the left, is an observatory building, with its roof open and its telescope can just be seen within.

La Palma Astro 2026

A second visit to La Palma for astrophotography, one of the best locations in the world for this rather specialized photography genre. Here is a selection of photos taken over the course of a week in ...

So Somerset didn't have a total eclipse. It was still fun photographing a 94.1% eclipse yesterday #solareclipse #solar #sun #Somerset #sky

4 images of the partial solar eclipse in Somerset on 12-08-2026, showing the orange orb of the sun, with some dark sunspots...with a small chuck blocked by the moon at first contact, and then a couple of increased coverage, leaving just a small arc uncovered. The background is dark, as shot through a 100,000 ND solar filter, to allow safe photography.

Over the observatories and telescopes #astrophotography #stars #MilkyWay #LaPalma #sky #nightsky #startracker

In the foreground is a hillside, across which are distributed six radio telescopes, with dishes pointing on various directions, some at an angle, one straight upwards. On the skyline of the hill are two observatory buildings, housing optical telescopes. Above in the dark night sky, the Milky Way rises vertically in the central of the view, above one of the radio telescopes.

Sunset over La Palma #sky #LaPalma #sunset #landscape #Landscapephotography

On the horizon is a mountain ridge, with a setting sun just above it, with star burst sun rays radiating out from the sun. On top of the ridge are the silhouette outlines of some astronomical observatories. In the foreground is a mixture of rocks, bushes, and wood, which are being backlit by the golden light of the setting sun.

Blue hour over La Palma #sky #LaPalma #sunset #bluehour #landscape #Landscapephotography

A radio telescope, with its dish supported by its scaffold frame, sits on the skyline, against a post sunset dark blue sky. On the horizon, the last orange glow and rays of the set sun radiate upwards.

La Palma isn't all about astrophotography, there is plenty to do during daylight too, like exploring Tazacorte port...thinking this looks like a prog rock album cover... #LaPalma #blackandwhitephotography #shadows #art

A solid concrete wall on the right stretches into the distance with a gentle curve. On the left, at regular intervals, are concrete arches, which rise to meet the wall, creating a passageway under the arches, with alternating light and dark shadows. In the middle distance, a single person is walking away from view, under the arches. All in black and white.

Milky Way core over La Palma #astrophotography #stars #MilkyWay #sky #LaPalma #startracker

In the foreground is the rocky terrain on a mountain ridge, looking down to lower ridges and in the far distance, light from a town. In the dark night sky, an almost vertical Milky Way, with its concentration of stars and gas clouds, seems aligned with a vertical rock outcrop on the ridge. 2 vertical Tajinaste flowers plants are also sitting below on the ridgeline, silhouetted against the orange glow from the town way below.

A star trail at one of the many observatories high up at the top of La Palma #astrophotography #stars #startrail #sky #LaPalma #Venus

In the foreground is a radio telescope situated on a flat area at the top of a mountain. The horizon line has a soft orange glow post sunset. Above, in the night sky, a star trail of over 400 photos shows the movement of the stars in the night sky, as well as the various star colours. One particular trail is much brighter, which is the path of Venus.

At the southern tip of La Palma are some salt pans, offering an interesting location for Milky Way viewing #astrophotography #stars #MilkyWay #sky #LaPalma #startracker

In the foreground are salt pans, a grid like set of rectangular pools filled with water, and between the pools are pyramid shaped piles of drying salt. Above in the night sky, the Milky Way is transversing the sky in a diagonal, rising from lower right to upper left of view, its concentration of stars standing out against the backdrop.

La Palma is home to many observatories, high above the cloud line, giving access to amazing clear skies. #astrophotography #stars #startrail #sky #LaPalma

In the centre of the foreground is a white observatory building with a dome roof, situated at the top of a volcanic ridge, and above the clouds, which can be seen behind stretching to the horizon, where there is a thin line of orange glow post sunset. In the clear night sky above, is a star trail effect of over 400 photos stacked to give a circular pattern as the stars seem to rotate around the North Star due to the Earth's rotation.

A welcome return to La Palma for some night sky action #astrophotography #stars #MilkyWay #sky #LaPalma #startracker

A dark night view, with in the foreground a rolling range of mountain ridges, with some low cloud between some of them. Above in the clear night sky, the Milky Way rises in a diagonal line right to left, with its great concentration of stars and gas clouds standing out against a backdrop of fainter stars.

Owl in the rain,from my night shoot at Wildlife Photography Hides near Bourne. There followed two hours of heavy rain, with no wildlife sightings, but the owls were back as soon as the rain stopped! #TawnyOwl #wildlife #wildlifephotography #WildlifePhotographyHides #nocturnal #flashphotography

A Tawny Owl is flying left to right, carrying some prey in its beak, flying past a wooden post and over some grass. Taken at night, using low powered flash. The flash is picking up heavy rain drops, against the dark background, with the drops looking like white spots.

Another owl from my night shoot at Wildlife Photography Hides near Bourne #TawnyOwl #wildlife #wildlifephotography #WildlifePhotographyHides #nocturnal #flashphotography

A Tawny Owl is landing on a wooden post, wings spread wide, above a sea of long grass and against a dark sky, with what looks like stars, but in fact are raindrops. Taken at night, using flashlight, but in this case, the power of the flash has been turned right down, to give an effect just backlighting the scene, creating a highlighted outline of the owl's spread wings and backlighting the grass and wooden post.
