EthanHydephotography @ethanhydephoto.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Little guy holding court. A male house finch on a bare branch, the whole frame going soft blue behind him. Males get that red from pigments in their food. #finch #birdphotography 010 1

EthanHydephotography @ethanhydephoto.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Wind low over the dunes, lifting sand off every ridge. Soft, flat light is when dune texture really reads. #sanddunes #desertphotography 010 1
EthanHydephotography @ethanhydephoto.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Three 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 030 3

EthanHydephotography @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 1
