It began to warm up on it yesterday evening as some group requested to include it in their gallery. This morning I discovered it among the Daily Deviations. It is one of my personal favorites because of the composition. I alway have difficulties to get composition like this with a telephoto lens. Also the title and the mood add something to the photo.

It has been done during a photo workshop with alexandre-deschaumes in September 2010. The weather promised to be awful and, in fact, we get magical condition. A dark atmosphere under heavy cloudy sky at the evening and the next day morning, a wonderful light with snow and -10°C.

Thank you very much to GraphiteColours for suggesting it and to Anoya for the feature.

Once again, there's been a while...

Well, this time I have some excuse. The weather this winter was not good. I had not much occasion for going shooting outside and I had other occupation in the real life. Spring is here and the good weather seems to be back.

Has you already noticed I upgraded my astrophotography setup. I abandoned my old cheap telescope "made in china". I'm now the proud owner of one of the best gear on the amateur astronomy market. It consist of a Takahashi FSQ-106ED refractor, 530mm focal length, F/5 aperture, a Takahashi EM-200 USD3 German equatorial mount. I still use the WO Zenithstar 66SD for autoguiding, piggy-back on the FSQ-106, but now I'm using an Orion Starshoot Autoguider. Also, the unfiltered Canon EOS 1000D is sill the main imager until I'll invest on CCD camera in a few years.

I had some stupid issue with the two first image done with with this setup but it is still way better than what I have done before. Sounds very promising.

Landscape photography miss me. I will go back to the mountain as soon as possible.

On the DA life, I accepted kkart invitation to be contributor for Photography-APN. I had lot of good feedback on the first shot with the new astrophoto setup. All and comments are very appreciated and welcome to the new watcher .
