Peering into the sky above and the water below.
The water at the Pedernales River in Central Texas is so clear that after the sun goes down you can shine a light into it and pretty much see everything. If this wasn't a 25 second exposure you could even see the fish.

Milky Way over Pedernales Falls
Milky Way over Pedernales Falls last night about 10:35pm. I had the place all to myself and spent several hours out there poking and climbing around with a big Coleman flashlight. This shot was one of the first of the evening actually. Geeky details: 22 seconds at f/2.8 ISO 3200. 16mm on a D600.

Lower Manhattan from the Brooklyn Bridge
Lower Manhattan from the Brooklyn Bridge. One single 13 second exposure taken at exactly 5pm on February 16, 2014 approximately midway across the bridge in 25 degree weather. For those non-New Yorkers the building with the giant spire is the yet-to-open One World Trade Center, and the tallest skyscraper in the Western Hemisphere. The Statue of Liberty can be seen on the left edge of the photo. Man it was cold. My fingers were numb.

Crescent Moon over Acre Israel
Crescent Moon over Acre Israel
This shot is from the roof of the Akkotel hotel, a wonderful hotel built into the walls of the world heritage site of the old city of Acre. The building is a beautifully renovated historical building within walking distance of everything in the old city and the staff is great too. The El-Jazzar Mosque dominates the skyline here (see previous shot on my timeline for inside view of the Mosque). We're looking west at a setting crescent moon shortly after sunset.2013chrischristopherchristopher shermanchristopherstravels.comcvshermanisraelsherman

Photo Interruptus
I was still setting up my shot at The Natural Bridges State Beach in Santa Cruz when a park ranger drove by with a powerful spotlight, shining it everywhere: the bridge, the surf and and me (silhouette lower right). The park closed at sunset, an hour earlier, and I was told to leave for the night.

Natural Bridges Reflections At Night
The story here is that the Natural Bridges State Park, where this was taken, closes at sunset, which was an hour earlier. The lights on the horizon are from Monterey on the far side of Monterey Bay. Shooting was cut short when a park ranger drove by and told me to leave. She wouldn't take no for answer, making this the my last shot. It was a shame really as the Milky Way was just starting to come out (right hand side of the photo) and I didn't really have the camera and tripod exactly where I would have liked it.

Pigeon Point Lighthouse just after Sunset
Pigeon Point Lighthouse just after sunset. The lighthouse is along Highway 1 about 45 miles south of San Francisco. The fog had rolled in thick just before the sun went down but after the sun set the fog receded off shore allowing for some clear sky and plenty of stars. I only had about 30 minutes before the moon came up over the hills behind me. Milky Way can be seen to the left. Venus is setting just above the fog-bank.
