It has been WAY too cloudy here to see the comet (or much of anything in the sky).

But don’t you ever stop taking photos!

I take it you are doing the firewatch thing again this summer?

Idaho

I'd never have seen that comet otherwise.

Amazing shot! I don't think I could capture something like that with my Canon point and shoot.

a mountain must have been very scary!

We've been waking up all hours of the night to see the comet, to no avail. I have several framed photos of comets on my wall. I would love to have a framed copy of this photo. PS my husband said "wow".

It has been cloudy for days and I have not been able to see it. I just went out after I saw
your post and it's still clouded.

And you have so many amazing photos from which to choose.

And a wilderness named after Frank Church? Bravo! He was a wonderful man.
When I was a kid, he used to come out to our house in Virginia and chat with my Dad for the afternoon. I used to hang with his son, Forrest, but he was already too old to have much in common with me. He died very young, I heard.

It's fire season again in Siskiyou County, just at the Oregon Border.

If you go to this page, and look at the header image, you see the comet flying above the Badger Fire: https://www.facebook.com/groups/SiskiyouAlerts/


This one is from over Mount Shasta.

I can actually see that it's ice.

Thank you so much.

Thank you DT!

Wow!

Unbelievable! Amazing!

Just beautiful. Thank you

Just beautiful.

Well Done...

so that only the comet and clouds showed, then I bet you could sell a lot of prints. I'd love to have that printed on glass. It is breathtaking! Excellent job!

Thank you for sharing!

You prove that there is still MUCH beauty and wonder to be beheld in (and around) this world.

Wow.

Thanks for posting.

a picture of a lifetime!
what a shot. congratulations!

There's a lot of color information hidden in the dark regions that you might want to explore. I like the greens and reds as a contrast to the night sky and the rock outcropping in the corner. There are also a number of lens flares across the upper center band that are also obscured, but interesting. I'm not saying you have to change anything, but there are lot of textures and colors just under the surface. I also the like the swept angle of the awning supports being parallel with the tail.

I have a pic of Halley's Comet somewhere around here. I put my Dad's camera on a tripod and tried various exposure times, one of which came out especially good. It was framed by two trees.
