Do you happen to know what camera/lens did the photographer use for this image?

I think shots like that can be achieved with most cameras/lenses, but other bits of equipment are very important - filters to let the right colour light through, an orbital tracker to take into account the Earth's rotation over a long exposure... and most importantly of all, there needs to be as little light pollution as possible! I really want to get into astrophotography one day but in my current financial state I've nowhere near the disposable income to spend on telescopes/trackers/filters etc...

Great photos 👍 It's a massive project, it's a pity I didn't think to take some "in progress" shots when I went over the dam because there was a hell of a lot of work going on. That bridge is ridiculously high up.
 
Omnis, there's nothing 'cool and amazing' about your post.
I really don't think it fits the thread title.
Thank you for listening.
 
Well it certainly isn't funny. It's interesting, so I put it here.
 
Because this is the amazing and cool and interestingly worthwhile thread.

I mean, if it's that big a deal then move it somewhere. A few more posts and we don't have to see it anymore anyway.
 
The rules in the funny "picture" thread are way out of wack and rarely do we see a funny picture. It's been reduced to the funny comic thread in my opinion.

This thread at the least will stay pictures if I may take that liberty.

That's pretty cool, I take it that's at the Albuquerque hot air balloon festival?

Love the balloon shot. That would be a good theme to run with for a page. Lets see what kind of balloon shots you guys can find!
 
I've just posted this in the new purchases thread as it was in a book I've just bought, but I think it deserves to be in here too:

It's known as the "Parasite" house. More info:

A chartreuse form attached to the roof of a Rotterdam warehouse, the Parasite project is a prototype for a new form of urban housing – urban infill designed to explore the relationship between sustainability and prefabrication. So just how is this project sustainable? The prefabricated panels, both load-bearing and insulating, are manufactured from waste wood and can be assembled in only four days. It is also designed to take advatage of the existing building’s water and heating systems. Many of the other works in the Green House include technologically advanced environmental systems, but with the P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E. PROJECT we are presented with a green house that is both simple and thoughtfully constructed.
