ethanhydephoto.bsky.social @ethanhydephoto.bsky.social · 23hThree frames from one night on the Carrizo Plain, straight up through the 8mm fisheye: the full dome of stars, the moon flaring at the rim, lit grass ringing the frame. All 25s exposures at ISO 800. #astrophotography #nightsky 020

ethanhydephoto.bsky.social @ethanhydephoto.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Jupiter with three of its moons lined up beside it. One second at 200mm and f/2.8 was short enough to stop the trailing and pull the moons out of the glare. ISO 250 on the Z6 II. #astrophotography #jupiter 010

ethanhydephoto.bsky.social @ethanhydephoto.bsky.social · 20/09/2026A greater roadrunner with its crest up on a pale boulder in the Mojave. Streaked brown and white feathers melt into the gravel, easy to miss until it moves. 200mm, f/3.5, 1/1000, ISO 100. #roadrunner #desertwildlife 000
