The great thing about the sky is that it’s always changing and no two sky photos ever look the same. I have admitted before that I have a fascination with clouds. For as long as I can remember, I’ve looked up to enjoy ever-changing cloud formations, which unfailingly remind me of the dynamic beauty our planet has to offer.
Here goes the first picture of 2013. Quite a beautiful cloud in a beautiful sky. Happy New Year, folks!
Hello folks! It’s been a while since I posted something here. Currently I’m fairly busy happily hopping from one side of the island (of Gozo) to the other shooting a short film. (Yes, that’s right, I’m trying my hand at moving pictures). This photo is a still from tonight while I was getting some footage for the said film. It was taken at about 3am from home. I wonder how many of you looked up and noticed the splendid view of the moon, Jupiter and the Pleiades lying fairly close to
Yesterday evening, we had another of those rare and lucky moments of weird lighting. Here goes the result. I fully understand if you find it hard to believe that this scene actually occurred for real. It’s no wonder that everyone who happened to be in college at the time could not help but pause and take in the moment – and perhaps even attempt to snap a picture for posterity. Enjoy and have a nice start to the week!
Recently, the weather has been acting quite strangely, with instances of heavy rain followed by brief spells of sunshine, in turn occasionally leading to the fairly surreal experience of simultaneous rain and sunshine (although mostly, it has been just raining). This picture was snapped right at the time when one such swift change in weather conditions occurred. Initially, it looked very bleak and the sky was uniformly dark. Then, for a very brief moment the sun started breaking, albeit weakly, through some clouds, in so doing shedding some light upon the
Anyone who looks up at the evening sky over the coming days will see a bright gem shining brilliantly in the West. But this is no star. It’s actually the planet Venus (aptly known as the “Evening Star” or the “Star of the West”) which is currently dazzling us every evening as its dense atmosphere reflects back light from the sun. But this evening was even more special as Venus moved across the open star cluster commonly known as the Pleiades. It was an event that reminded me of the brilliant
Yes, you got it. It seems like I’m currently addicted to this kind of scenery. The thing is that this sort of imagery evokes in me such serenity that it’s hard to resist posting. Enjoy the explosion of colours!
Well, yesterday the late afternoon light was beckoning and the scene slowly turned into this. Have a good start to the week!
At long last, I’ve taken a new picture. This evening was particularly cold, at least according to my perception, although I maintain that 2degC should be deemed cold by anyone. Anyway, I was on my way back home from college when I was met by the sight of Jupiter and the moon staring back at me from behind Tom Tower. As I hastily took out my camera, I expected that I’d be shooting a couple of pictures and move on. However, I soon realized that clouds were moving quickly and that
For me, one of the most exciting photographic fields is that of animal photography, especially bird photography. Looking at my Animal Photography portfolio (click here), I realize that I haven’t had a go in a while. So it’s quite a good thing that we spotted this majestic bird soaring high above yesterday afternoon while we were at t’Ghammar. One hopes that it will not end up shot by hunters! It is simply great to be able to see such a magnificent creature gliding across the sky.
