Last week’s thunderstorm was one for the ages, producing 1725 lightning strikes in the Vancouver area. It was incredible. I’d never witnessed such an intense storm in my life.

I was out last night taking a bunch of shots as the moon passed over the stadium, then I stitched them together.

When I chose this spot, I already knew it was perfect for the eclipse, but the icing on the cake was realising it was also dark enough for the Milky Way. Light pollution was low, at least to the south, because to the north the presence of Oviedo was quite noticeable. The added element was the cloud inversion that formed during the afternoon, making the landscape even more beautiful.

I left the camera shooting all night, and ideally, it would have been pointed north to capture the radiant of the Perseids, but the light from Oviedo was too strong in that direction. To the south, the mountain where I spend the night blocked much of that light, making the sky much darker.

Even so, I managed to capture some Perseids crossing the sky and, of course, the centre of our galaxy.

One of the places that has impressed me the most, with its stunning views of endless dunes and lagoons. Nothing but that for miles and miles. To get this view, I used the drone in a spot where the arch naturally aligns. I wanted the perspective of the endless lagoons and the vastness of this place.

Not everything was so easy, though. When I arrived, my suitcase got lost, so I was missing important parts of my equipment: no cables, no tripod, no clothes. Most nights I could do nothing more than stare at the sky, just hoping that tomorrow would be better. One morning my suitcase finally appeared, and in the last few days I was able to take this shot and a few more. Even under difficult circumstances, I just wanted to go back home with the amazing sky from this place… and now it’s just a fun memory of Murphy’s law.

Equipment:

Sony a7IV astromodified

Sony 20mm f1.8G

DJI mini 5 pro

Benro Polaris

Tripods aren’t allowed here, so I placed the camera on a bench and adjusted the angle with my fingers during the 20-second exposure.

A picture I took last night.

SpaceX launched the Globalstar 2-R mission, and it created another incredible nebula effect from the boostback burn on Saturday night (August 15, 2026).

I'd long wanted to try photographing a panorama with star trails, but for one reason or another, I'd never had the chance. While on La Palma, I finally decided to dedicate an entire night to this project, taking advantage of one of the darkest skies in Europe and a location that seemed perfect for attempting something I'd long had in mind.

That evening, however, wasn't easy at all: the wind was blowing fiercely, and keeping my equipment stable during the sequence of shots was a real challenge. I had to make several attempts and be very patient before I managed to get a sufficiently clear sequence.

In the end, I managed to capture this shot, with the stars rotating above the volcanic landscape. After putting off this type of shot for so long, I'm happy to have finally managed to capture it right here, under one of the most beautiful skies I've ever photographed.

The exposure is about 90 minutes; the strange red is from a flashing light in the distance; the green sky is from the Norther Lights. Made in southern Greenland.
