the refereeing is a joke. Clearly they are only looking at the Bruins. Because the Cats are angels.

What a joke.

Seeing the northern lights with my own eyes was an amazing experience this weekend! I wrote up a blog post about it and assembled a new video. Check it out!

Not a great image, because I was shooting around the clouds but I had to capture the source of our Aurora fun. That big chunk on the right side has been blasting us with solar mass to light up the sky!

The Aurora put on a show for us last night! This was 10 second exposures @ f/2.8 on my Canon T3 + 14mm lens. So cool!

It's not quite as active now, but the aurora was wild earlier. This was just a simple night lapse on my Hero11 - we could see colors and pillars with the naked eye, but the camera is next level

PSA: If the sun is out where you are and you still have your eclipse glasses, put them on and take a look at the sun. There is a giant sunspot visible on the lower right side. I took pictures of it a couple days ago, but it's still wild to see it with my own eyes.

Also, if you live in the northern latitudes, there's a chance for some strong aurora activity tonight. If it's clear, I'll be pointing my camera north to see if I can get anything!

Just published a blog post about how to replace your fiber optic cables on your underwater photography rig on the cheap! Underwater photography is expensive, so let's save a few bucks where we can. I have been shooting with these cables for awhile and they are very reliable.

Finally! A clear day for some solar imaging and what a view today! My phone has been buzzing all day as all of these spots are firing off solar flares.

Another garden image! This flower is called beebalm, and it's no wonder why. Pollinators love this colorful flower.

It's spring, so it's a great time to post some garden pictures. This image was taken at Heritage Gardens several years ago. There were so many butterflies around!

You receive a call on your phone.
The caller says they're from your bank and they're calling about a suspected fraud.

"Oh yeah," you think. Obvious scam, right?

The caller says "I'll send you an in-app notification to prove I'm calling from your bank."

Your phone buzzes. You tap the notification This is what you see.

Still think it is a scam?

I haven't quite landed on what platform I want to use for my blog, but here's a new post giving a rundown of my underwater photography gear! Happy to chat about it and answer any questions - drop a comment if you've got one: https://blog.briangweber.com/2024-05-01-underwater-photo-rig/

Total eclipse of the kid! No perspective tricks here, his nose is right up against the flower - these tulips are absolutely massive.

Gonna try to do some #solar #astrophotography inside today while I work.

One of the perks of a) working from home, and b) having a large south-facing window.

Not really ideal optically, but the only alternative is leaving my scope outside mostly unattended.

Last Friday, I set out to do something fun: capture the rotation of the sun! The challenge with this is that the sun rotates very slowly - roughly one rotation every 27 days. I captured images every 5 minutes from about 8AM to 5PM and then stuck them all together in a time lapse.

More details on my blog (I have a blog now!): https://briangweberphotography.wordpress.com/2024/04/27/creating-a-solar-time-lapse/

Dude, literally the only violence of any kind at these protests is when militarized police marches in and tear-gasses, pepper-sprays and brutalizes students and faculty at their own universities
