My second pass at this object. Captured a few more hours of data to add to the first set. I used very short exposures with the rgb camera to avoid the bright star nearby (Gamma Cassiopeiae) from over saturating the surrounding area.
"Cassiopeia's Ghost Nebula is a reflection and emission nebula located in the constellation Cassiopeia. It is often referred to as "Cassiopeia’s Ghost" due to its wispy, ghostly appearance. Here is an overview of its key characteristics:
Location and Distance: Cassiopeia’s Ghost Nebula lies approximately 550 light-years away from Earth. It is located near the bright star Gamma Cassiopeiae, a variable star that plays a critical role in illuminating the nebula.
Appearance and Structure: The nebula appears as a faint, ghostly cloud, with delicate, wispy features that resemble spectral forms. It has a combination of emission and reflection characteristics:
Emission Features: The red hue of the nebula comes from the ionization of hydrogen gas caused by the ultraviolet radiation from Gamma Cassiopeiae.
Reflection Features: The blue tones in the nebula are the result of starlight from Gamma Cassiopeiae being reflected off the surrounding dust particles.
Illuminating Star: Gamma Cassiopeiae, a massive and highly energetic Be-type star, is the primary source of radiation that influences the nebula. The intense radiation from this star causes the hydrogen gas in the nebula to glow and the dust to scatter the light.
Visibility and Observing: Cassiopeia’s Ghost Nebula is relatively faint and best observed through long-exposure astrophotography. It can be challenging to see with small telescopes but becomes more apparent with the use of filters and under dark sky conditions.
Scientific Interest: The nebula is of significant interest to astronomers studying the effects of stellar radiation on interstellar matter. It serves as an example of how nearby massive stars can shape and alter the appearance of nebulae."

(I believe these are Gray Toulouse geese, but I'm not certain. A positive i.d. would be great.)
I've been somewhat remiss in commenting on photos the last few days, as I've been out of town. I will be playing catch-up tonight and tomorrow. Please bear with me :)

I have joined a large number of groups but in recent times I don't feel like adding photos to any groups because I feel it doesn't make sense to add to groups( unless Invited) and Most of the groups doesn't bring in viewership at all
In recent times my reach and likes have tremendously gone down and most of my friends or followers in Flickr say they cant load my photos in my feed!!
i don't know how long this will continue...
{Note} some phrases from Gilson ({ The} Spirit of Medieval Philosophy30) on the Cistercian theology of love: (1) “Born of love, the whole universe is penetrated, moved, vivified from within, by love that circulates through it like life-giving blood through the body” (p. 276); 31 (2) “Human love, in spite of all its ignorance, blindness and even downright error, is always a participation in God’s own love for Himself.… even in the midst of the lowest pleasures, the most abandoned voluptuary is still seeking God” (p. 274); 32
“The question is then not how to acquire the love of God, but rather how to make it fully aware of itself, of its object, and of the way it should bear itself towards its object. In this sense the only difficulty is that of education, or, if you prefer, the re-education of love. The whole effort of Cistercian mysticism is therefore brought to bear on this point.” 33

L'œil derrière le viseur.
Le regard dans la nature.
L'objectif pointé sur la faune.
La curiosité à l'affût et muette.
La créativité dans tous ses états.
La sensibilité esthétique en transe.
La photographie à l'œuvre dans l'art
Je n'ai pas l'ambition d'être un mentor.
Je ne suis pas photographe professionnel.
Je crée des images au gré de mes émotions.
Amant de la faune avec la plus grande affection.
Je ne suis pas né artiste ou spécialiste de la photo.
Je n'ai pas l'ambition d'être le meilleure photographe.
Malgré tout, je crée des images depuis très longtemps.
J'aime la photographie pour le plaisir qu'elle me procure.
Je suis le regard, le témoin d'un lieu et d'un instant privilégié.
Ma quête est de transformer la lumière en image spectaculaire.
Je n'ai pas la certitude qu'une méthode est meilleure qu'une autre.
Pour tout vous dire, je n'ai pas la volonté d'un perfectionniste acharné. Je n'ai pas la prétention d'avoir l'expertise pour donner de bons conseils. Mon but est de partager avec vous mes humbles découvertes en images.
Curieux de nature, J'ai passé 45 ans de ma vie dans le domaine de la photo. Ma révélation est d’avoir accueilli la photographie avec autant d’enthousiasme. Naturellement, Il y a de ces moments ou la motivation et l'inspiration m'échappe.
Je ne me suis pas auto-proclamé photographe, cependant j'ai fait mes études en photographie. Je me suis formée à la photo au secondaire et à l'Académie des Arts. La photographie est pour moi une nature dominante qui se dévoue en entier à son art.
La nature dans l'œil, le feu sacré dans l'âme.
Pour le plaisir et la joie qu'elle me procure,
la passion des images.

Well it looks like I will be moving out of the Bay Area and it's looking more and more likely I will be returning to the foothills near Yosemite. We are excited about it but man I hate moving so I decided to bum this one back up on my photostream. This is one of my first and still most popular shots. Can't wait to be back in the woods.
If you have chosen to enter Yosemite from the south entrance along Highway 41 you will first get a few fleeting glimpses around the bends of the Valley that will cause you to wonder if what you just saw was real. It seems too big, too distant. Surely your eyes are just playing tricks on you. The trees will quickly obscure your view and you will drive along directly into the face of the mountains via Yosemite's longest tunnel. Because it's such a long tunnel and you may begin to relax but grip the wheel tight as you approach the exit for the view you are about to see will wrench your eyes from the road in disbelief!
There is good reason for the flashing yellow light warning you to slow. Suddenly before you lies an impossibly massive scene of snow topped granite towers, soaring waterfalls and pristine forests. Possibly the most photographed icon of nature lies before you an impossible view simply called Inspiration Point though some refer to it as the tunnel view. A "U" shaped glacier valley lies a thousand feet below you. To the left of the image, the impressive, largest single piece of exposed granite called El Capitan is the most dominate object in Yosemite Valley. Early explorers, unable to believe their eyes, estimated the rock at only 900ft above the valley floor. They simply could not fathom it's real height. Modern measurements eventually put it well over three times that height at nearly 3000 feet above Yosemite Valley. To the right, a towering waterfall whipped by the blowing winds in the narrow canyon appropriately named Bridal Veil Falls. While not the tallest, it is definitely one of the more beautiful waterfalls in Yosemite. In the far distance, another seemingly impossible large chunk of granite cut in half by the glaciers appropriately named Half Dome rises above the valley. But it's not over yet, you have only begun the start of a dream like drive that will take you all the way up the valley past numerous waterfalls, the meandering Merced River and lead you to Yosemite Falls which will makes Bridal Veil Falls look like a tiny trickle of water. If you are a photographer, you could easily spend your day at the entrance as the scene will change by the minute, especially in winter, but push on, as there is much to see.
Winter and early spring in Yosemite are a quiet time and possibly the best for photography if you don't mind driving on cliff walls in the snow. The summer crowds have yet to arrive. The campgrounds are empty and except for a few cars driving though the valley the roads are clear. And though you may stick to the outhouse seats there are few drawbacks to visiting during this time of year provided you bring the proper gear for you and your car. If you can, plan your visits to coincide with the breaking of a winter storm. Yosemite staff are good at keeping the roads open and you have a good chance of getting the proper conditions for some stunning photography as the clouds break. I spent 5 years of my life living just outside the park. My only regret is that digital photography was only in its infancy at the time.

Coucher de soleil depuis le point de vue du camping Panorama du Pyla, à quelques dizaines de mètres de la dune.. Le soleil couchant, l'océan, le banc d'Arguin, le défilé plus ou moins acrobatique des parapentes ... le rêve pour tout photographe !
They keep on building these sharp, tall objects down the coastline, blocking everyone's sun and the cool sea breeze.. What a shame.

“There are three kinds of violence. The first, mother of all the others, is institutional violence, that which legalizes and perpetuates domination, oppression and exploitation, that which crushes and laminates millions of men in its silent and well-oiled wheels.
The second is revolutionary violence, which arises from the desire to abolish the first.
The third is repressive violence, the object of which is to stifle the second by making itself the auxiliary and the accomplice of the first violence, that which engenders all the others.
There is no worse hypocrisy to call violence only the second, while pretending to forget the first, which gives birth to it, and the third which kills it. »

Yes...another shot from Tim with 3 Objects in it...Boring yet?
After a 10:30pm check of the weather last night and seeing it wasn't going to rain, I made the call (to myself of course) to go out and see what was going on. Wasn't as good as I had hoped for but still a pleasant morning to be out....but then again...when isnt it.
A single exposure using a Cokin GND8. That pool on the left is the Pool at Newport on Sydneys north shore.
Thanks for looking
