Something I've been working on for awhile. Took about 3hrs worth of photos at the end of August. Eagle Nebula on the top and Omega Nebula on the bottom. #eaglenebula #dso #astrophotography #astro #omeganebula #nightsky #nightskyphotography
Went on a weekend trip and storms started developing in Nebraska. Was able to capture some lightning on the way. I tried using a zoom lens and worked out well, just a tad off on the focus. #storm #storms #lightning #severewx #weather #severeweather
Mammatus clouds from this morning and storms from late last week. #mammatus #storms #storm #cloud
My second attempt at a deep space object, Rho Ophiuchi. Multiple Star System in the constellation Opiuchus, 360 light years away. #astronomy #deepspacephotography #rhoophiuchi
On our fourth day, we took a quick trip to Pisa via the train. Rainy, cloudy day and everyone enjoyed the sights. #pisa #italy #pisatower
I was able to see some storms yesterday in Iowa. Here are the night photos as I was driving home. Lots of lightning in this storm and it was amazing to watch! #tucsonstormchasers #storm #lightning #iowa
My first attempt at a deep space object (DSO), Andromeda Galaxy (M31) which is 2.5 million light years away from Earth and similar structure to our Milky Way Galaxy.
Eagle pair sitting close together at lunch today before one of them takes off. #baldeagle #birdsofprey #iowacity #iowa
My two best captures from last nights storms, captured around 1am. The storms went north and south around Iowa City, so I was able to stay dry while shooting from a hill. #storm #lightning #tucsonstormchasers #iowacity #iowa
On the second full day in Florence we visited the Galleria dell’Accademia di Firenze and Giardino Bardini. Michelangelo had pieces in the Galleria. He would have his apprentices rough carve sculptures and he would finish them. #galleriadellaccademia #giardinodiboboli #florence #florenceitaly
One of the parents of the Great Horn Owlets I posted previously. #owl #greathornedowl #wildlife #wildlifephotography
More photos from storms yesterday. The first picture is a land spout that was developing which turned into dust storm at the leading edge of the supercell. The next are a couple wall clouds throughout the day. #storms #storm
Lightning from last nights storms outside of Iowa City. #storms #lightning #iowacity
Saturday, I was lucky enough to meet a very nice bird photographer that let me know where an owl nest was located. I just happened to meet him again at the nest along with a couple that drove down to Waterloo. Cute Great Horned Owlets! #greathornedowl #owl #wildlife #wildlifephotography
My second favorite photo from Florence. Along the river to the Ponte Vecchio. #florence #florenceitaly #pontevecchio #italy

Caught another Barred Owl on Monday evening at a different location. This time I was prepared and got a much closer view with some backlight. #barredowl #owl #wildlifephotography #wildlifeonearth #iowacity
