Mystical Eclipse

Composite of two images taken in Chile during the Total Solar Eclipse on 2nd of July 2019. I took the foreground image of the backlit cactus at 24 mm during the partial eclipse to highlight the beauty of Elqui Valley's typical flora and afterwards recomposed and captured the sun at 35 mm during the moment of totality. I had to adjust the brightness and the colours of both photographs to create a balanced composite and to achieve a dark Apocalyptic look.

Austin, Texas Blue Hour

Was down in Austin for a bit on a work trip. I've always heard how beautiful the skyline is from the river.

Was a little let down by the clouds, but what can I do!

Any interest in this group?

Hi all, I was looking for such a group but see that although there are many members there hasn’t been a single post. Is there interest out there in getting this group going?
