Det finns foton där man är väldigt glad att färgfotografierna blev uppfunna. Dessa hör till dem. Härliga färger. Du har jobbat mycket med dessa. Det syns. Vi har Venus också så klar och fin med.
ReplyDeleteKjempe. Herlig å se den duse gode overgangen mellom fargene.
ReplyDeleteAlltid noe flott å se på når du legger ut bilder! Og noe å lære av. Skjønne farger, spesielt godt liker jeg det første.
ReplyDeleteVakkert som alltid John...virkelig ett bra skup.;-)
ReplyDeleteLitt overrasket over at det ikke er større forskjell på 30 og 13 sekunder.
Det er en fryd å komme innom her, hver eneste gang.

Gorgeous shots, John!!
ReplyDeleteThese are exceptional! How did you manage to keep the color so true in the first one with a 30 second exposure?
ReplyDeleteTruly remarkable. And thanks for sharing the exposure data!
Veldig vakre bilder! Rent malerisk!
ReplyDeleteYou're an inspiration, John. Night photography is still a mystery to me, something I want to tackle soon. These are like magic.
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures. Great work. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots and a great post John.
ReplyDeletePost card perfect
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. I love that lighting - dark enough to bring out the city lights, but light enough to be so colorful!
ReplyDeleteIt's a kind of magic!!!
ReplyDeleteDu har så nydelige bilder! Har beundret dem lenge.
ReplyDeleteNå har jeg lagt deg til som favoritt på min blogg, så jeg kan kikke innom enda oftere for å hvile øynene på noe godt.

ReplyDeleteAwesome visuals, the most breathtaking scenery. Thank you also for sharing your shutter speeds, as a novice photographer I am always interested in such things and trying to learn as I go along.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shots! You have such wide open vistas and beautiful scenery. Have a great weekend, John. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos and excellent colors! Thanks for sharing such great photographs!
ReplyDeleteThese are both incredible photos. I especially like the ground in the foreground.
ReplyDeleteA camera in your hand becomes magical. I loved how the atmosphere had circles going on. I like how image has a mood and excellent tonal quality. Superior is the key word for your photographs.
ReplyDeleteJoyce
So wonderful!Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteWow! Absolutely amazing...just stunning scenes and so well photographed!
ReplyDeleteJohn, these are both stunning! I'm speechless — and that doesn't happen often.
ReplyDeleteHappy Sky Watching!
Marvelous time exposures, John!
ReplyDeleteHej John! Försökte kommentera igår kväll men kom inte igenom. Fantastiskt vackra bilder som får tiden att stå still. Kan bara föreställa mig hur det var att stå där i verkligheten och se det i "image format"... :-)
ReplyDeleteWow! The first one looks like a painting. Just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIts surreal ... as if I am looking at a planet other than this one
ReplyDeleteThese photos are spectacular! I have a question, though. With such long exposures, how is it that the moon and that one star don't show any movement? The few times that I have taken photos of a night sky, I get star trails and a blurry moon if I leave the shutter open for more than a few seconds.
ReplyDeleteVery impressive and great photos, John.
ReplyDeleteBreath-taking photos! Fine work!
ReplyDeleteWonderful night shots with are often so difficult.
ReplyDeleteNo shot is too difficult for you. More magic weaved with these beauties.
