Hey, so I've got a photography book coming out.
It's called Dark Skies: Rare Phenomena in America's Public Lands and is a love letter to the NPS.

The biggest shout out to my wife, without whom this book would not be possible. Wrangling the kids and handling all the things at home while I was out all night in the wilderness isn't easy. The past four years don't happen without her, and I am infinitely grateful.
This book means a lot to me. Even if no one buys it, I'm 100% OK with that - I've gotten all the joy out of making the thing.
BUT, if you did want to buy it, you can preorder it. It comes out Winter 2025.
If anyone wonders why I haven't posted today, I'm on a flight to Italy to co-direct the Operational Space Weather Fundamentals School in L'Aquila. From dusk to dawn, #Aurora has been my constant companion. It's my first time seeing it with my own eyes. Words do not do justice.
Did you see it?
I am attempting a massive GLOBAL case study on the auroras seen around the world during the historic G5 storm of 5/11/2024
1) Where did you see it? (City or county!)
2) A picture to verify!
Shout out to @TamithaSkov - without her videos I wouldn't have gotten this shot of the aurora last night. It came just before sunrise in Apostle Islands, WI. I tweaked the brightness and contrast, but I didn't touch the color.
Bridalveil Fall playing with valley mist in winter is a view to experience!

I exposed the foreground, the eclipse, and the sun spikes separately from the same location, and then composited them together after darkening the sky to add drama.
It's multiple exposures, & I changed the white balance to better reflect the color of the ring of fire. I used a @CanonUSAimaging 5D Mark IV, 100-400mm lens, and 2x extender.

It was so cool to watch the moon slide across the sun's disc for nearly 3 hours today. People cheered at first contact, roared at the totality, and I stuck around till the bitter end to get this composite of photos taken every 15 minutes. #EclipseSolar2023#EclipseSolarAnular
I took this photo from a spot just north of the White Rim Overlook trail. It's a single exposure, and I changed the white balance to better reflect the color of the ring of fire. I used a @CanonUSA 5D Mark IV, a 100-400mm lens, and a 2x extender. jeffpfaller.com/products/annul…
