A hidden mystery in the woods near Roche Harbor on San Juan Island, WA is the John S. McMillin Mausoleum.
John McMillin - a mason by trade - brought a lot of this skill into the architecture of the mausoleum which you'd imagine was plucked from some sort fantasy novel/mythical tale.
In camera editing. - - - love that bouncing light
But I should have used the "500 rule"
The 500 rule for a full frame camera requires you to set your camera to ISO 3200 or 6400, Aperture to f/2.8 (or as wide as possible) and your shutter speed to 500 divided by the focal length of your camera. For example, if you are shooting with a 50mm lens, your shutter speed would be 10 seconds (500 / 50 = 10).Jan 28, 2020. That would have avoided those elongated stars..
(No, not the Disney/Pixar computer-animated character.)
This is buzz track, an alignment film for 35mm optical soundheads. Each toothed pattern on the sides of the black stripe produces a square wave, which appears as a sharp buzzing noise when played through speakers. (By the way, playing a square wave through a speaker, except at a very low volume, is an excellent way to destroy it.) An oscilloscope is recommended instead of speakers for the task.
The track is spaced so that when the soundhead's lateral (left/right) guide roller is adjusted properly, neither track should be picked up. A higher-pitched buzz (and, possibly, a motorboat-like sound from the sprocket holes) will occur if the film is guided too far leftward; too far to the right, a lower-pitched buzz will be generated.
This was taken last month. Seen here during civil twilight and only partially eclipsed. Shot w good friend Joshua Crites. Two frames taken 1 second apart and focus stacked for optimal viewing.
A very brief break in the weather this afternoon ... made it to one of my 'go to' locations - Boonerah Point on Lake Illawarra, Shellharbour, Wollongong. I'd checked and the sun was due to set pretty much due in line with the pier, didn't quite get the blast of light I was hoping for but a couple of rays made my day .. :-)
An approximately ⅜” (9.5mm)-wide section of a frame of SMPTE 35-PA (RP-40) 35mm projector alignment film. (Click here to view a full frame of the film.) The checkerboard pattern serves as a focusing aid, and also helps to reveal steadiness and shutter timing issues.
I couldn't help but throw in a little pareidolia, courtesy of the two resolution charts, the centerpoint marker, and the black box used as an aid in detecting travel ghost (streaking that occurs when the shutter is improperly timed with the intermittent movement or damaged, or as a result of mechanical wear).
From Left edge tiny Comet Catalina, Venus, Mars, Moon Jupiter top Right. If you zoom in 100% there is tiny star on the left of Venus that is Comet Catalina
The sun rises over the distant peaks of the Lake District lighting up the clouds above in an array of beautiful colours, on a calm morning at the Point of Ayre. Captured with my telephoto lens, the alignment with Winkie Lighthouse only really works for a few short weeks each year. A wonderful way to start the day 👌

In order to create an authentically powerful life, you need to align your personality with your soul. ~ GZ and there it was..few years later and the alignment has happened in front of my eyes. Just like that..
The crescent moon finds a gap in the clouds as a magnificent sunset lights up over the darkly looming heights of the dunes, Great Sand Dunes National Park, Colorado. My youngest son requested a trip to the Dunes in a rented RV for his birthday present a couple of years ago when this photo was made. Bless him for having the prescience to get us all here for this moment.
Back to the current day, a number of wildfires are roiling the typically blue Colorado skies with smoke that is almost as pretty at sunset as the clouds you see here. The downside, of course, is the loss of forest, life, and livelihood. Today the humidity finally increased and it began to rain in some small measure. After the latest conflagration leaped over the Continental Divide, perhaps the forest on the eastern side of Rocky Mountain National Park will not burn too severely, but who can be sure. It is troubling to know that years like this are but the harbinger of what is to come if we do not act quickly to reduce our economic dependence on fossil fuels. Forests have a hard time absorbing carbon from the atmosphere when they are incinerated and become a source of carbon themselves.

The sunset burn w/low fog was predicted by Yiupai sunrise/sunset forecast service.

I love these trees - at night the dominance of the bright light is hard to adjust to - I took a few different angles and found that flaring and rotten exposure were big issues. Then I thought i'd work with the flare and while I was setting up a man walked through the frame. I thought - yep this shot needs a peron in it, so self timer on and in I walked.
