Here is comparison showing a capture made back in 2018 at 2 seconds & ISO 5000 and one taken last evening at 40 seconds with the star tracker mount. View large to see the differences.
Note, both captures taken here in Baltimore, Maryland
Morning Glory Pool in Yellowstone National Park used to be bluer than it is now. This is a result of the water temperature not being as hot as it used to be.
It's my understanding that the water has cooled as a result of coins and trash partially blocking the heat source resulting in the shift from blue to green, orange and yellow.
This one was taken in June 2015

View of Forum Romanum with the temple of Saturn and the temple of Vespasian and Titus.
The cult of the god Saturn in Rome is quite old - the temple remains are in comparison quite new (as an ancient Roman temple goes). The first temple in this spot was built around 497 B.C. These columns on the other hand dates to a temple building from 360-380 A.D. when the previous building had been destroyed by a fire. Much of this temple is built with parts from older buildings - but the columns are made in the style of late Antiquity, in white Thasian marble.
The two columns (it's actually three, but the third one is hidden from view) with a bit frieze remaining is the temple of emperor Vespasian and his son Titus. It was an expression of the Roman imperial cult - the temple was started by Titus after the death of his father, and then after Titus' death it was continued by his brother Domitian and finished some time around 87 A.D.
Here we have the transom of Kaiwo Maku, one of the largest tall ships in the world (361' in length) and passing her on her starboard side is a 18-20' pleasure craft.
Verdict....... absolutely no comparison :-)
Compare this with the bald eagle and mocking bird shot. The bald eagle is perched near the front top of the tower. Another is perched about half way down. No one walking the path I was on saw them unless I pointed them out! I love my long lens! I also love my iPhone for getting shots like this one.
Leica M Mono, Leitz Elmar 4/135 at F8. Of course, this comparison to the previous image is not straightforward. It is not just a different and much more expensive camera, the lens has a different focal range and is really old (over 60 years). But I do not think that the previous image, done with a "budget combo", is in any way inferior to this one. In fact, when it comes to judging an image as "interesting" or "artistic" I don't think that the question of budget or not plays a role at all.
The Lower Christine Falls (seen in comments) gets most of the attention. The Upper Falls is more challenging to shoot, plus one must stand on the busy Christine Falls bridge while capturing this 32' beauty.
For comparison, the Lower Falls shown below drops 37'.
Thanks for your visit! Always appreciated.

The male Downy on the left and male Hairy woodpecker on the right landed on the same perch within a minute of one another. I was at the same focusing distance in similar light for both shots. I ten combined the two shots in photoshop for a comparison image....
Housatonic NX-13 holds in Pittsfield yard awaiting CSX Q425 to clear. CSX 3271 brings up the rear of the westbound freight as the DPU (Distributed Power Unit), along with gondolas loaded with large granite blocks. Note the comparison of the modern GE ET44AC Tier 4 and 1952 built EMD GP7 which shows how locomotives have transitioned through the years.
Yup. Pretty cool. PLEASE COMMENT IF YOU FAVE!

The bananas on the right look to be the perfect ripeness for eating (in my opinion—different people like different levels of ripeness when it comes to bananas). The bananas on the left appear too ripe for eating plain (again, my opinion) but they are excellent for baking or making smoothies. Both bunches of bananas are different in which ways they’re best enjoyed. When I compare my lack of capacity to achieve a lot of great things with someone in different circumstances who has the capability to do things I’m not able to it’s easy for me to fall into deep shame and guilt. I need to continually remind myself God created each of us unique and we have different experiences that shape us therefore it’s not always helpful to compare myself to others. It gives me the freedom to be who God created me to be with unique gifts and abilities and focus on growing in the ways He desires for me—which I’m still working on and probably will be for as long as I’m alive.

My first attempt at developing film at home. For me it was an overwhelming process and I’m thankful I gave it a try. There is so much satisfaction and enjoyment for me to be able to accomplish this despite my fears and most of my days being about survival without having the capacity for much “extra” stuff. Being able to see the final image is so amazing after this whole process. It turned out much better than I expected. I’m still learning.

Snow and Ross Geese side by side for comparison. I've been trying to get a shot like this for years.

I have real fears for poor Lisa Gerrard, as for the pianist, he's toast!
It was never like this for Bobby Crush!
I made plans to photograph the November 8, 2022 lunar eclipse over some petroglyphs in Bishop, California. It made sense to photograph something timeless over something ancient. But the weather forecast turned terrible, and a storm was forecast to cover most of California. The trip's goal morphed and became "let's photograph snow at the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest." The Bristlecones are the oldest trees on Earth, with some of them reaching 5000 years old.
As Matthew Saville and I drove from Los Angeles north toward the Sierra mountains, we noticed the storm was predicted to hit the Bristlecone Pine Forest shortly before sunrise. The eclipse might be possible after all!
We set up cameras, expected the worst, and went to bed. I awakened in the twilight before sunrise and a few inches of snow had fallen. I woke up Matt and we ran to collect the cameras, which had been partially buried. As we reviewed the photos in the blustery, well-below-freezing predawn air, we were amazed to see that the storm clouds blew in exactly as the eclipse ended. We had managed to photograph it! We captured the timeless over the ancient after all.
This photo is a stack of about 300 30-second exposures on a Sony A7R3 and a Sigma 20mm f/1.4. I also did a single long exposure, and might post that as well for comparison. Update: here.
Well here is the comparison of the photo of RL and my new pose. Hope you like! I tried to do my best. Adriana, thank you for your patience and cooperation... loviu <3
Here you can see the colouring and bill differences between an immature male and an older male Surf Scoter.
I’m posting 2 images for comparison. Which do you like best? The first image is what the camera saw and is the more realistic image. The green color in the sky is caused by airglow. The second image is my interpretation of what we would expect to perceive if we had better color vision at night (our dark vision is primarily black and white). The second image is how I usually process images, trying to make the image closer to something people can identify with. This summer I had numerous nights with marked airglow and green skies. There was a lot of wildfire smoke on the horizon which I have tried to minimize. __________________________________________. Technique: Both images made from the same captured images at 20 mm. Both images are blends made from stacked images, one set for the sky and one set for the foreground. Sky, stacked vertical panorama, 3 sets of images, 12 in set, at 13 sec, f/2.8, ISO 6400. Foreground, 9 image stack, 30 sec, f/1.8, ISO 6400.
Having been a big fan of Deep Dream Generator, I keep trying the text generator, but haven't gotten any spectacular creations, plus it takes so long. So today I used the exact same prompts on both Wombo and DDG. The Wombo style was VFX. No post enhancement. I think Wombo won this word challenge.
A shot to demonstrate the difference in size between the Hairy Woodpecker (f) and Downy Woodpecker (f).
The two shots of the woodpeckers were easily combined as both were taken in similar light , on the same perch from a fixed ( tripod) distance so that the ratios and sizes were exact......layering the two shots was made easy in that at 50 % opacity I could see both images and superimpose one on top of the other by using the branch. I used the tiny knot hole under the Hairy's claw to line up both branches/layers.
White tailed eagle in company off some hooded crows. Now you can see the difference in size,birdwise. But also that the crows are not scared of this mighty eagle who I thought was king :-) and in this picture you can see his white tail..
I thought it would be fun to show the direct comparison between two similar setups!

I took a shot of this striped lynx (Oxyopes salticus) mama the other day using my Vivitar (Komine) 90mm f2.8 1:1 Macro. Today, I found the same gorgeous girl still guarding her egg clutch, so I snapped a remarkably similar shot using my Phoenix (Cosina) 100mm f3.5 1:2 Macro paired with a 2x Macro Focusing Teleconverter.
Right away, you can see the difference in color reproduction. The word I keep finding is "flat". The depth of the greens, and the subtle undertones of the browns and darker shades are just missing! This Phoenix lens is a really stellar lens, but can't compare frame-for-frame with the Komine 90mm. It's also worth noting the overall level of clarity!
When you zoom in, you can start to see the difference in resolving power pretty clearly. The Phoenix does a darn good job for a stack of glass in a plastic shell, but the shot captured using my Komine a few days back is much sharper on individual details. Both shots are captured at 1:1, but magnification rate does not always mean the image is worth magnifying!
Of course, both of these lens setups are literally decades behind the times and rendered fully obsolete by modern mirrorless cameras, insane 15 frames per second burst modes, and focus peaking, but it's fun to show the budget side of the hobby! You can 100% capture worthwhile images without modern gear and guided trips, you just have to learn your equipment!
This comparison was brought to you at 1:1 by my plastic fantastic Phoenix (Cosina) 100mm f3.5 Macro, attached to a Vivitar 2x Macro Focusing Teleconverter. This photo is uncropped. This lovely little lady is around 6-7mm long!
Since I had so many pink girls here right now I figured it would be cool to take some comparison pics.
I plan few heads from few companies and plan to match with diferent bodies.
I have found, that looking at pages each time I think of some match, is very time-consuming.
So I have chosen my fav doll companies and made this pic.
Pictures are not in scale, so some of bodies are biger than others, it was mostly done for a shapes, propotions, hips, chests etc.
But all bodies are over 61 cm.
Scratch (bantam Old English Game hen) egg on the left.
Ameraucana (standard Wheaten) egg on the right.
I've heard that first eggs are usually small, so I'm guessing that since the Ameraucanas are just beginning to lay (one of them laid her first egg just before we got her on Tuesday) this is the other hen's first egg. I hope they'll get bigger over time, especially since they're getting lots of good food now.
I did a bit of an "experiment" the other day with my 50mm lens. I haven't been able to get a decent comparison shot of the difference in Dof, and I finally did.
But, for those of you who didn't know, the smaller your aperture (the larger the f number) the clearer the background becomes.

Thank you very much for your comments and faves, regretfully, I am finding it increasingly difficult to reply to your comments, because of my very limited time on the internet, due to constant power interruptions in South Africa. I do read and appreciate every one of them, however! Thanks again!!
I have never done this before, but I had to put these two pictures together so that you can compare the differences. I used the identical prompt in MidJourney and DDT2D and this is the result. Basically I asked for a woman who was not feeling well, sitting in her bed and working on her laptop. I also wanted it in the style of Norman Rockwell. I did MJ first and was disappointed, and then I tried DDT2D and was blown away!
Don't get me wrong, I have had some incredible MJ results, but in this case, DD walks away with the honours!!
