A few nice share photos images I found:
Disneyland Magical! Fireworks - 56 Second Exposure
Image by Tom.Bricker
I shared this photo at the end of my Carthay Circle Restaurant Fireworks Views post yesterday on Disney Tourist Blog, but I figure a lot of you probably didn't see it there. I shot this photo with my new CHEAP-O® Vari-ND Filter, and I have to say, I am shocked by the quality of the fireworks photos I captured with this filter. The CHEAP-O® Vari-ND filter was only , and although it's not a good filter for daytime use, I was shocked that it did so well for fireworks. I've revised my ND filter buying guide to reflect my "highly recommend" status on this filter, especially for fireworks photographers. for this filter?! File that under "too good to be true (but true)!"
I'm hoping to start uploading photos to Flickr more regularly in the near future, and I certainly have the backlog to do just that! I've already posted galleries of Radiator Springs Racers, Luigi's Flying Tires, and Mater's Junkyard Jamboree photos to my site. My schedule should start to lighten up soon, and when it does, I hope to have more regular photos again. All of the changes Flickr has made in recent months are looking great!!!

Supermoon

Share YOUR Supermoon images with NASA in our Flickr Group: www.flickr.com/groups/supermoon2013/
Up there in the sky – it's not a bird or a plane; it's a "Supermoon." Bigger and brighter then normal full moons, the supermoon on June 22/23 will be the closest and largest full moon for all of 2013. The moon will be some 29,000 miles closer to Earth than the farthest point in its orbit, but not to worry the moon will still be more than 221,000 miles away from our blue planet.

ATREX Tracer Release and Observation Locations

Share YOUR still images and videos from tonights launch in our ATREX Flickr Group: www.flickr.com/groups/atrex/
NASA is scheduled to launch five suborbital sounding rockets in just over five minutes March 15 from the Wallops Facility in Virginia as part of a study of the upper level jet stream.
The red dots over the ocean show where ATREX will deploy chemical tracers to watch how super fast winds move some 60 miles up in the atmosphere. While there are only five rockets, two will deploy two sets of tracers, resulting in seven clouds. Only six dots appear in this image, since two will be deployed at the left-most red/green dot, which represents Wallops. Three cameras will track the cloud tracers – one at Wallops and two located at the green dots.
The rockets will be launched on a clear night within a period of minutes, so the trails can all be seen at the same time. The trimethyl aluminum will then be released in space out over the Atlantic Ocean at altitudes from 50 to 90 miles. The cloud tracers will last for up to 20 minutes and will be visible in the mid-Atlantic region, and along the east coast of the United States from parts of South Carolina to New Jersey.
"People have launched single rockets before," says Larsen. "But the key here is that we're extending the range of measurements to many hundreds of miles. The furthest rocket will make it half way to Bermuda."
