Something a little different this time. What you’re looking at is a 9-panel mosaic of M8, an emission nebula in the Sagittarius constellation, around 4000 light years from earth.

 

The images were shot through a single filter (Hydrogen Alpha), aiming to pull out as much detail as possible and give it a bit of a fine art appearance (to the extent that’s even possible with astro images).

The M8 is not the oldest digital camera, but it is the first digital M camera made by Leica in 2006. They got the sensor (a bit smaller than full-frame, so the crop factor is about 1.3) from Kodak in the USA and, despite its modest 10MP capacity, it can produce extremely sharp and, as some say, almost film-like images. That this is a well-made camera I don't need to emphasise. Much more important is that it is a range-finder camera as simple as it can get. There are no gimmicks at all. And that means that the process of "making the image" takes place where it should take place - in your head. So, there is nothing "automatic", and I am more than grateful for this. Despite its age, twenty years, and all its limitations, the M8 is still a joy to use. And it is simple. Its menu? What menu? There are just a few points in it, if you want to look at them anyway. Forget the bewildering 2000 options you have to work through on some of the latest cameras. With the M8, all you need to do is care about the light, set the distance and define the shutter - things that your brain does "automatically". And then comes the real job, composition. Image done with Leica M246 mono plus Leitz Elmar 4/135.

This image of M8 demonstrates the three emission bands Ha, OIII and SII and maps the location of those emissions in equal measure. It is quite different from the 2013 bi-colour image which was Oxygen dominate in the mix.

Dati Tecnici

a) Leica M8 + Carl Zeiss Biogon ZM 25 mm f.2,8T* (+ Filtro Leica UV/IR);

b) Tempo Finale 1/30s apertura a f.3,2 (a mano libera);

c) Utilizzato il Magnifier 1,25x per effettuare una messa a fuoco più precisa;

d) Impostazione Asa/Iso 160;

e) Lettura Esposimetrica esterna rilevata sulla media ponderata al cento;

f) Lettura Esposimetrica impostata in M (manuale) esterna effettuata con Sekonic DualSpot F-L-778 Angolo 1° (effettuate 4 misurazioni con metodo del Sistema Zonale di “Ansel Adams”) a luce riflessa e 1 lettura di equiparazione e bilanciamento con Esposimetro esterno Gossen Lunalite lettura a luce riflessa (con calotta inserita);

.

e) Esposizioni:

1)......la prima sulla superficie della tenda posta subito dopo il vetro dell’infisso (in particolare quella parte ricamata più chiara in corrispondenza del bordo superiore della sedia) ;

2)......la seconda (doppia) sia sulla guancia destra della ragazza e per equiparazione sulla guancia destra della bambola (il valore era molto simile la variazione era di 1/3 di stop) questa lo posta sulla Zona V del grigio medio al 18% aumentato di 1/ del valore;

3)......la terza sul tessuto della spalla desta della ragazza in primo piano. Questa parte di superfice era molto importante per la trama ricca di particolari e di zone chiare e scure;

4)......la quarta sui capelli della ragazza, in particolare il riflesso, ovvero la porzione illuminata della luce proveniente dal balcone che si trova a destra. (In questa porzione, dopo alcune letture di verifica, ho dato un valore n+2,5 rispetto al valore letto in quanto la luminanza della luce era filtrata da una tenda di colore Panna con striature marroni pertanto loa luce oltre alla filtratura veniva assorbita e diffusa, il cielo non era particolarmente limpido ma parzialmente nuvoloso e pertanto avevamo una temperatura cromatica di quasi 6000°K);

5)......La media ottenuta dalle letture precedenti è stata confrontata con il valore t/d (tempo/diaframma) ottenuto dalla settima lettura effettuata con misurazione a luce riflessa sulla calotta superiore dell’esposimetro Gossen Lunalite posto parallelamente alla figura e con la calotta rivolta perpendicolarmente verso l’ottica di ripresa (l’esposimetro è stato posto fra il braccio sinistro della ragazza e la guancia della bambola);

La luminanza è stata posta sulla zona V del Grigio Medio al 18% sovraesponendo intenzionalmente di 1+1/3 diaframmi. Ho intenzionalmente imposto e compresso o contratto la scala di n-1,5 per avere una maggiore corposità dei neri cercando di non aumentare il contrasto. Il totale è stato sovraesposto di n+1/3 per evitare che l’esposizione finale impostata non penalizzasse le alte luminanze delle “zone VI/VII” (disegni della stoffa del letto e della sedia nonché della trama della tenda) che sarebbero risultate con poco dettaglio (visto che la luce che arrivava in quelle parti in penombra e pre-penombra aveva una “temperatura cromatica di 2700°k”) o le basse luci (le luci in forte ombra quelle in ombra o parzialmente illuminate erano troppo basse stimate fra 1250°K"/1900°K"/. Poi c’era il fattore “caduta della luce” visto che la stanza non aveva altre fonti di illuminazione ne diretta né per riflessione (non vi erano pareti chiare vicino) tale fattore era proporzionale alla distanza dall’asse ottico di ripresa quindi in quelle zono la caduta variava dal 22% al 45%.

f) Impostazione nel corpo camera Leica M8: ISO/ASA 160, DR (auto), WB (Bilanciamento del Bianco (auto), Saturazione Colore (Stadard), Nitidezza (Medio-Alto), Contrasto (Standard) Riduzione disturbo (0), Qualità Immagine (DNG), Dimensione Immagine compresso (3:2 – 10MB);

g) Tecnica di ripresa esposimetrica con il sistema dell”Esposizione a Destra;

h) Prima Post-Produzione per la correzione del bilanciamento cromatico/tonale delle varie aree e zone di colore per compensare la caduta di luce con Nikon Capture NX 2;

i) Seconda Post-Produzione con Adobe Photoshop CC2015 per il bilanciamento delle zone d’ombra;

l) Post-Produzione di completamento con Nikon Capture NX2 e CorelPhoto-Paint X7 64bit per il completamento e la sistemazione finale del "Sistema Zonale"..

Dedicata ad un bimba di nome Giada - Dedicated to a girl named Jade

.

Questa parole sono dedicate ad una piccola bimba di nome Giada che ha avuto la sfortuna, assieme alla madre inconsapevole, di avere avuto in casa l’uomo “compagno della madre” che in assenza di quest’ultima abusava della bimba. Dai racconti delle suore tutrici e dai neuropsichiatri che attualmente la stanno aiutando a risollevarsi dal tremendo trauma psicologico e fisico. L’uomo è tato condannato.

-----------------------------------------------

This words are devoted to a little girl named Jade who has had the misfortune, together with the unwitting mother to have had in the house man "boyfriend of the mother" that in the absence of the latter abused the child. From the stories of trustees nuns and neuro psychiatrists that currently are helping to recover from the tremendous psychological and physical trauma. Man is drawn condemned.

Enya - So I Could Find My Way - Così ho trovato la mia strada

.

.

Così, ho trovato la mia strada

.

Nei falsi silenzi

delle cupe ombre,

un pallido visino,

nel muto pianto

avvolto,…nasconde

una piccola anima

dolorante.

Si sentono, sparsi

nel profondo silenzio,

eterni lamenti

che implorano

aiuto struggenti

… in sospiri frammenti.

Non è un bel giorno

come spesso tant’altri,

c’è il mostro che

mi cerca,…”vuole”

a dir di lui giocare

nervosamente attende.

Della mamma…

premuroso compagno

e agli occhi della gente.

La mia bambola,

compagna muta di tristi avventure

è lei che m’aiuta,

in quelle orrende disavventure,

a volte di pochi momenti,

ma spesso di ore infinite.

Mie grida occultate da

quella pesante mano invadente

bagnata dal mio pianto,

lacrime d'odio e dolore

irrompono le mie tenebre,

imploro a Lui negazione

di quei terribili giochi

osceni momenti,

ma al ricordo

di pacate e sue dolci parole

seguivano gravi voci,

minacce e suadenti menzogne.

Convulsi spasmi di pianto

e dolore, conducono

implacabili, l'anima a vani pensieri.

E’ Il gridare d'una sola notte?

no! .è un lamento costante

…..perenne.

False dolci parole di conforto

rantolano morenti

tra crudele realtà, vivono

sofferenti e contorti tormenti,

dell'anima mia affranta

deluse speranze,

illuse e tradite.

Senti il cuore impigliato e

squarciato da acuminati rovi

di false promesse...

Così, ho trovato la mia strada

apro d’un tratto

quell’uscio senza freni

vado via nell’immenso vuoto

chiudo gli occhi e nell’abbraccio

futuro della mamma mia

volo libera nell’aria

per andar a giocar con gli angeli.

……………………….…Luigi Mirto

So I Could Find My Way

.

In the false silences

of the dark shadows,

a pale little face,

wrapped in silent tears,

hides

a small,

painful soul.

Scattered

in the deep silence,

eternal moans

are heard, begging for

help, heartbreaking

... in fragmented sighs.

It's not a beautiful day

like so many others,

there's a monster

looking for me,..."he wants,"

as they say, to play

he nervously waits.

My mother's...

attentive companion

and in the eyes of the people.

My doll,

mute companion of sad adventures,

it's she who helps me,

in those horrendous misadventures,

sometimes for a few moments,

but often for endless hours.

My cries, hidden by

that heavy, invading hand

wet with my tears,

tears of hatred and pain

break through my darkness,

I implore Him to deny

those terrible games,

obscene moments,

but the memory

of His calm and sweet words

were followed by grave voices,

threats, and persuasive lies.

Convulsive spasms of tears

and pain, implacably lead

the soul to vain thoughts.

Is it the cry of a single night?

No! It is a constant lament

…perennial.

False, sweet words of comfort

rattle, dying

amid cruel reality, live

suffering and twisted torments,

of my broken soul

disappointed hopes,

deluded and betrayed.

You feel your heart entangled and

torn by sharp brambles

of false promises...

So, I've found my way

I suddenly open

that door without restraints

I go away into the immense void

I close my eyes and in the embrace

of my mother's future

I fly free in the air

to go and play with the angels.

……………………….…Luigi Mirto

This a long lost memory of what makes the summer months so much better than the constant cold and rain. The picture says it all.

 

This video “MIX 8” is another selection of images, both graphic, design and Photographic. The idea is to show the range of styles and techniques from right across my wide range of styles. It is followed in my Photostream by individual images taken from the video, but shown as single images at full size. These will appear on my photostream spread over the following week.

 

There are more examples of these Mixes on my portfolio website :-

Messier 8 (M8), also known as the Lagoon Nebula, is a large, bright emission nebula located in the constellation Sagittarius. The star-forming nebula has an apparent magnitude of 6.0 and lies at a distance of 4,100 light years from Earth. It has the designation NGC 6523 in the New General Catalogue.

 

The Lagoon Nebula is currently undergoing a period of active star formation and has already formed a sizable cluster of stars. NGC 6530, the extremely young open cluster formed from the material of M8, has a visual magnitude of 4.6 and covers an area of 14 arc minutes in the sky. It is centred in the eastern part of the nebula.

In Sri Lanka, South of Colombo the railway line follows the coast all the way to Galle and beyond to Matara. It is a spectacular train ride with stunning views of the Indian Ocean and the coastal communities.

Class M8 number 877 is seen running along this coast line at Mount Lavinia famous for its beautiful beaches. Hotels, bars and restaurants are built next to the beach, behind the train is an unfinished hotel which will most likly remain in this state for years to come and serve as an eyesore in an otherwise beautiful area.

In the distance can be seen the sprawling city and docks of Colombo.

877 was working the 1510 from Maradana to Matara.

The Lagoon Nebula is a giant interstellar cloud in the constellation Sagittarius. It is classified as an emission nebula and as an H II region. The Lagoon Nebula was discovered by Giovanni Hodierna before 1654 and is one of only two star-forming nebulae faintly visible to the eye from mid-northern latitudes. The nebula lies around 4,077 light years away.

 

While I love the Great Orion Nebula, I am growing more enamored with this particular nebula. Take a closer look at everything going on here - dust lanes, waves of hydrogen clouds and more. It's a gorgeous nebula!

The Lagoon Nebula (M8, NGC 6523) is a giant interstellar cloud in the constellation Sagittarius. It is classified as an emission nebula and as a H II region. In the foreground is the open star cluster NGC 6530.

 

The Lagoon Nebula is estimated to be between 4,000-6,000 light years from the Earth and measures 110 by 50 light years.

 

The nebula contains a number of Bok globules (dark, collapsing clouds of protostellar material). It also includes a funnel-like or tornado-like structure caused by a hot O-type star that emanates ultraviolet light, heating and ionizing gases on the surface of the nebula.

 

The Lagoon Nebula also contains at its centre a structure known as the Hourglass Nebula (the densest, brightest part). In 2006 the first four Herbig–Haro objects were detected within the Hourglass (a Herbig-Haro object is where jets emitted from a newly forming star interact with surrounding nebulosity).

 

This image was shot in mapped colour - Sulphur II emissions mapped to red, Hydrogen alpha to green and Oxygen III to blue - the so-called Hubble Palette.
