Good morning friends! I hope all are well in these first days of the New Year.
If I like the idea of this month's contest for something, it's because we don't always have the chance to take a photo that fits a specific theme.
Throughout 2020 I have taken about 1,150 photos, not counting the deleted ones

few compared to the ones I took in 2019, which were of the order of 3,000. It's true that that year I had a lot of work for the different pots I made.
But I say that among the 1,150 photos of 2020 there will be some that can participate in the contest



. So here is my first entry one of the best I've done in this mode of photography. If they are good or bad, I can no longer say it.
Astrophotography is one of my favorite hobbies. In 2020 I had the opportunity to test my OnePlus 8 Pro to take these types of photos, and the truth is that it has not disappointed me.
All the photos that I put below are taken with the stock camera, in Professional Mode, with the Beastgrip support that I have and the corresponding tripod. In addition, I later edited them with Lightroom/Snapseed to adjust the histogram and make elementary touch-ups.
This first one, in which I purposely wanted to see the effect of clouds with long exposure shooting, I did it with an ISO 800 and an exposure time of 30s.

The year 2020 was characterized by the appearance of Comet Neowise. It is said we won't be able to see again for 6,000 years. As by then I think I will be a little deteriorated





, I did not want to miss the opportunity to photograph it. Clear skies allowed me to take this photo at ISO 800 and an exposure time of 30s.

And while I was taking some photos, the place I went to, the one we call in my city Mount Naranco, has a sculpture of what we call the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The sculpture looks out over the city and I was standing behind it. When I looked at the scene, I could not contain myself to try to capture it because I found it fascinating. So I pointed at it and took this photo with ISO 100 and exposure time of 20s.

I hope you like them.
Now to continue reviewing the 2020 album for next week.
Be happy, enjoy and take care of yourself a lot
