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

In the foreground is a rocky landscape of boulders and scrub bushes. Above in the dark night sky, the Milky Way forms a complete arch across the sky, with its concentration of stars standing out against the background. A panoramic and star tracked shot consisting of 10 individual photos.

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.

Inquisitive fox at Wildlife Photography Hides near Bourne #Fox #wildlife #wildlifephotography #WildlifePhotographyHides #nocturnal #flashphotography #FoxOfTheDay

A red fox is stood on the right of the view, turning her head to look to the left, towards a wooden fence post, while behind is tall grass. Night view, shot with a low powered flash.

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.

On the hunt at Wildlife Photography Hides near Bourne #Fox #wildlife #wildlifephotography #WildlifePhotographyHides #nocturnal #flashphotography #FoxOfTheDay

A red fox is walking through grass, head low down, smelling the ground, looking slightly to its left, and with damp wet fur.

Anothe one from the night hide activity, at Wildlife Photography Hides near Bourne #Fox #wildlife #wildlifephotography #WildlifePhotographyHides #nocturnal #flashphotography #FoxOfTheDay

A red fox is looking straight at the camera , head on, looking through grass. The fox's fur is wet and slightly spikey from previous rain and wet vegetation. The background is dark, as this was a night shot.

Been to the Azores last week for whales and dolphin watching...unfortunately poor weather (rain, wind, fog) curtailed a lot, but still managed some nice shots out on the water. #dolphin #Azores #wildlife #wildlifephotography

A common dolphin, with a light coloured side, and darker top and fine, is breaking the calm ish light blue sea, swimming right to left, with a curtain of water flowing off its dorsal fin.

One of the Exmoor ponies at sunset #Somerset #CothelstoneHill #horse #sunset #landscape #silhouette

A silhouette of a horse head, with a light wind lifting up the hair on the head, against a backdrop of the sky just post sunset, with the sky a mixture of yellow, orange and red.

A different take on Bluebells...hyperspace! #warpspeed #CothelstoneHill #Somerset #bluebells #landscape #ICM

Taken in a wood with a carpet of bluebells...but taken with a twist of the zoom lens on a long exposure, creating a circular blur effect focused on the centre of the photo...looking like a jump into hyperspace!

AndyBeavisPhoto @andybeavisphoto.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Always look up #CothelstoneHill #Somerset #landscape

A view looking straight upwards in a wood, with tall slender trees creating a spoke like effect, with a patch of blue sky at the 'hub'

One more Monet effect Bluebells #CothelstoneHill #Somerset #bluebells #landscape #ICM

Tall straight trees are in a wood, with a carpet of bluebells. Intentional vertical camera movement blurs the bluebells creating blue streaks, and bright green streaky tree leaves.

Been playing with the Monet effect on Bluebells for years, but seems quite popular this year...this week.. #CothelstoneHill #Somerset #bluebells #landscape #ICM
