This is a quasi-aviation photo, but too bad.
The San Gabriel peaks catching the last of the daylight. From left to right: Mt. Baldy (10068'), Telegraph Peak (8985') and the twin Ontario (8693')and Cucamonga (8862') peaks. Shot from Imperial Hill - those peaks are about 50 miles away.

Quoting TSS (Reply 13): Braybuddy, where exactly was the first photo in reply #9 taken?
That was taken in Cambridge, UK (as well as the frosty morning one in pic 4). Beautiful city with plenty of character. I was sloppy by not posting locations, so just for the record, the other pics are 2: Dublin, 3: Roundwood, Co Wicklow (IRL), 5: Dublin, and 6: Co Dublin.

Quoting aerdingus (Reply 16): I visited a friend in Lille last week, & passed through Copenhagen on the way home
Some nice Copenhagen shots there! I've never seen Nyhavn so deserted . . .
Quoting TSS (Reply 17): Was pic 4 taken from Jesus Green facing southwest towards the houses on Park Parade with the tower of St John's College in the background?
Quoting TSS (Reply 17):
The first pic I'm guessing was taken near the eastern end of Trinity Lane facing west.
RIght both times! You obvioulsy know Cambridge intimately . . .
I accidentally deleted the Trinity Lane pic, so I'll re-post, along with some local winter pics:
Unfortunately I don't get out of the studio much Here are some highlights from sessions I've had since summer 2012. Low quality pictures as I have no access to my main computer, as I'm moving flats

27 Geezer: From one of my walks in the woods last week..... This one was MUCH harder to get......Nikon D 300s / Nikkor 80-200 f 2.8 + 1.4 TC (and a hell of a lot
28 NoUFO: From a sunny day out. Love your pics, Braqybuddy (as always), and particularly #1 and #3 of your 1st post. [Edited 2013-02-10 23:50:19]
29 vikkyvik: Some attempts at imaging celestial objects... Pleiades open cluster: Jupiter with Callisto, Ganymede, and Io (from top to bottom): Orion Nebula:
30 vikkyvik: More spacey stuff: Satellite racing an airplane: Another satellite: Mercury setting over the San Vicente Light: About the best shot I can take of the
32 GrahamHill: Oh we love those weekends! Great pictures! What are your exif data? I tried to take pictures of the night sky a couple of times, but it's quite diffi
33 vikkyvik: Pleiades - 2.5s, F4, ISO6400 Jupiter - 1.6s, F4, ISO3200 Orion - 2s, F4, ISO12800 Andromeda - I forget if this edit was one exposure or multiple, but
34 vikkyvik: I was just doing some checking to see what that satellite was, given how bright it was - turns out it was Hubble.
35 Braybuddy: Thank you, and as I'm just back from holidays will have some new ones to post over the next week or so. And you've some very nice pics there too NoUF
36 vikkyvik: I did a couple new edits of the Orion Nebula and the Andromeda Galaxy - it was a challenge of trying to pull out data against a rather light-polluted
37 vikkyvik: Some photos from the port at sunset last night: APL Iolite heading out past Angels Gate Light: Cruise ship heading out: Series of shots of the APL Hol
38 Braybuddy: Lovely pic . . . is that a woodpecker, by any chance? Some nice astronomy pics! Getting the Hong Kong pics edited at last. Here's a few I liked:
39 Silver1SWA: Great work! Man, I would love to get into studio photography but unfortunately I find it very intimidating. I'm still very weak when it comes to ligh
40 Braybuddy: Some magnificent landscape shots there Silver! Meanwhile, some more HK pics:
41 vikkyvik: A darker night and longer exposure allowed me to get a bit more Orion Nebula visible last night (though obviously, also some blur, but oh well, nebula

44 vikkyvik: I didn't realize until tonight that I had another shot of Jupiter and the Moon where you could see a couple of Jupiter's moons. So, it's composite tim
45 mayor: Photo #5 in reply #9 reminds me of my hometown. When I was a kid, the town only had about 1600 people in it and we had two barber shops......one was
46 Braybuddy: Cool! This was another barber shop I shot the same day: Meanwhile, back to reality . . . .
47 vikkyvik: Well, it was a pretty difficult task, but I did manage to get some images of comet Pan-STARRS this evening. Had to keep taking photos till it showed u
48 Silver1SWA: I was wondering if you'd try to capture the comet. I wasn't able to try last night, but I might give it a try tonight. Cool shots!
50 vikkyvik: Of course I was gonna give it a try. I was actually close to packing it up and heading home, but figured I'd take a few more shots, and it happened t
51 KaiGywer: I kinda wanna go out tonight and try my luck...and since I live in ND, there's not much for light pollution
52 vikkyvik: Dude, if you have a relatively unobstructed view to the west, you'll have NO problem. I expect to see your photos tomorrow. (where have you been, any
53 KaiGywer: I live in ND...my nearest obstruction to the west is the Rocky Mountains Uh oh, now I have to perform! Stage fright! Haha.. I've been here the whole
54 KaiGywer: Some from last weekend's trip to a state park near where I live. Nowhere remotely near the quality of the posters above me, however. Looking south alo
55 vikkyvik: Experience from last night + slightly higher elevation made comet photos a bit easier tonight. Still couldn't see it with the unaided eye, though.
56 Silver1SWA: Here's one of mine from last night. I will try a different vantage point tonight which will hopefully show downtown San Diego in the frame for a more
57 KaiGywer: I tried looking for the comet last night, but of course it had to cloudy. If it's clear tonight, I'll try again
58 vikkyvik: Nice shot! How'd you get it to show up so brightly, especially with the city lights below? Any tips or tricks for that? I was more concerned last nig
59 Silver1SWA: Thanks. I was at 200mm and to avoid comet blur from the earths rotation I kept shutter speed under 5 seconds so I had to boost ISO to 400, then 800 a
60 vikkyvik: That would be the answer. All the other stuff is stuff I was doing too.
61 vikkyvik: Had to play around a bit, but a better one: Also got some fog photos:
62 KaiGywer: It's quite obvious I lack both the skills and the equipment for stars Couldn't find the comet, so I just played around for a while. All of these are 3
63 Silver1SWA: D'oh! The comet was just to the left of the moon, about twice the distance from the moon to the edge of your frame! I got some good ones. I'll edit t
64 vikkyvik: Yup! Just a bit more to the left, and you would have nailed it Kai! It was just barely visible to the naked eye from LA tonight:
65 KaiGywer: Well what the hell...lol.... I looked and looked and looked and didn't see it Is it as visible to the naked eye as your pics or is it rather hard to
66 wilco737: I have several pictures from my trip to Greenland last year. It was one of the best trips I have taken. So great landscapes, impressions... I loved it
67 Silver1SWA: No, it's nearly impossible to see with the naked eye. I could not see it the first night, but last night I could barely make it out thanks to the pre
68 KaiGywer: Ah, that's probably why I couldn't see it. I just the pics you two posted and figured, "hey that looks fairly bright"
69 vikkyvik: Should be easier from an area with less light and air pollution, like, say, North Dakota. Hell, if I could (barely) see it in L.A., folks in more rur
70 Silver1SWA: One would think, but apparently that's not the case since many of my Flickr contacts and twitter followers have tried and could not see anything from
71 vikkyvik: Ah, fair enough! True about the bright sky. Lucky for us all that camera sensors can pick up stuff we can't see. Yeah, kinda sucks. I may go out one
72 KaiGywer: I think that might have been part of the problem. The horizon was still fairly bright, and there was a cloud layer right above the horizon.
73 OA260: The start of the St Patrick's weekend celebrations in Dublin. The city had a great buzz yesterday with lots of public buildings going green. . . . . .
74 vikkyvik: Another conjunction, another shot of the Moon, Jupiter, and Callisto and Ganymede (two exposures layered):
75 vikkyvik: Sphinx Moth; I seriously thought this thing was a hummingbird at first:
76 Braybuddy: It's been too cold to do much snapping (whatever happened to global warming!) but I've been managing a few:
77 MWHCVT: I've been away from TP mainly as I've had other things going on but I thought that I should share a few from the last couple of months I've been doing
78 GrahamHill: I haven't touched my Canon for quite a while now. Instead, I played a bit with Instagram: Next to my office, in the old town of Montreal: My backyard,
79 Braybuddy: Some superb shots there MWHCVT. The last one is amazing.
80 vikkyvik: A slightly different sunset shot for me:
81 MWHCVT: Very kind of you Last night I braved the cold and snow drifts that were taller than me and I'm 5ft 11in truth be told I was only expecting the cold,
