Milky Way - Shenandoah National Park, VA
Did you know that the Milky Way is now hidden from a third of humanity? The problem: light pollution. And the problem is growing steadily each year. I have noticed a lot more light pollution in Big Meadows night shoots this year, as compared to previous years. And if you shoot from an overlook like I done w/ this photo, your end result will most likely look like this. I'm grateful that I can still see the MW from SNP, but it'd be nice to view it in complete darkness.
The Milky Way, the brilliant river of stars that has dominated the night sky and human imaginations since time immemorial, is but a faded memory to one-third of humanity and 80 percent of Americans, according to a new global atlas of light pollution produced by Italian and American scientists.

A Statement Against Pollution
This was a sculpture I did for an exhibition done in collaboration with the Moving Ethos Modern Dancer Company called Purity & Pollution. It was floating in the pool during the exhibition. It is entirely made out of garbage (rubbish) and is mostly made of plastics, although glass and cans (tins) are included and the surfboard of course. I am trying to encourage people to throw their garbage (rubbish) in the appropriate places, not just throw it anywhere thereby destroying, land, birds, animals, the ocean, and other waterways.
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
I went through and watched the videos about Astro Pixel Processor, I needed to s l o w down and pay attention, especially what sliders can do for your picture......I LOVE the features that APP offers, Like the light pollution removal tool, background calibration and color correction to name a few....I have posted the crappy one earlier, its a few pictures that way>>>>>>
Delhi airport.
The pollution outside was so dense that the sun appeared like a sort of rising moon in the sky and the light was low enough to let think it was still nighttime ...
I took this image in early July, when a break in the monsoon pattern gave me a clear night.
I refrained from using my usual light painting technique, it made this two shot panorama easier to do.
Instead, I incorporated the the light coming from the porch of my other house to give some definition to the foreground
The light that is illuminating the sky on the right side is light pollution from one of the outlying neighborhoods of Santa Fe. Every year it seems to get worse.
But I thought a silhouetted tree against the brighter part of the sky worked well in this circumstance.
It is my aim to preserve and convey the feeling of night time in my images, the stillness and the wonderment that I experience under the stars.
Which is another way of saying: It's so awesome to be under the night sky, dude!
It’s been said that nothing good happens after midnight. I disagree when it comes to the weather and making photos you otherwise couldn’t capture…
St John, New Brunswick as the Canadian seagull flys. I think the bird is leaving town during this snow storm. While the air pollutants are considered acceptable from the fossil fuels industry and its oil refinery. Certainly there is a concern and questions regarding long term exposure. Fine particulates in the air and the smell of sulphur throughout the day can certainly highlight the importance of controls.

Creative people turned beach-found trash into an artwork, only for the wind to scatter it once more. Everything is ephemeral, only plastic takes about 500 years to disappear from the face of the earth...
According to an estimate by the World Bank in 2018, around 2 billion tonnes of waste were produced worldwide every year. 10 countries are responsible to produce around 53% of the global waste volume at that time. Today, 6 years later, these figures have certainly increased.
Another from my Rockies trip. This was a near sunset. The blues you see were not enhanced except by a polarizer. It's just the result of pure mountain air and the lack of pollution.

Négombo (Sri Lanka) - La plage située proximité de l’entrée du chenal qui mène au port de pêche de Négombo, était une véritable poissonnerie à ciel ouvert. De nombreuses petites embarcations venaient déposer le produit de leur pêche. Mais le 20 mai 2021, c’est la catastrophe écologique. Le navire, le MV X-Press Pearl, prend feu en face de la plage. Il transportait 1 486 conteneurs. Quatre-vingt-un d’entre eux étaient chargés de marchandises dangereuses, dont 25 tonnes d’acide nitrique. Parmi les marchandises figuraient également 78 tonnes de granulés de polyéthylène destiné à l’industrie de l’emballage. Cette catastrophe environnementale dont la partie la plus visible était la présence de billes de plastique, a souillé 80 kilomètres de littoral.
Cette photo ci-dessus a été prise en 2014, bien avant la catastrophe écologique. Aujourd’hui encore, il est difficile de savoir sir cette pollution a toujours des conséquence sur la santé publique ?
Before the pollution
Negombo (Sri Lanka) - The beach located near the entrance to the channel leading to the fishing port of Negombo was a real open-air fish market. Many small boats came to deposit the product of their fishing. But on May 20, 2021, there was an ecological disaster. The ship, the MV X-Press Pearl, caught fire in front of the beach. It was carrying 1,486 containers. Eighty-one of them were loaded with dangerous goods, including 25 tons of nitric acid. Among the goods were also 78 tons of polyethylene granules intended for the packaging industry. This environmental disaster polluted 80 kilometers of coastline, the most visible part of which was the presence of plastic beads.
This photo above was taken in 2014, well before the ecological disaster. Even today, it is difficult to know if this pollution still has consequences on public health?

I headed into Derbyshire to try and find a dark place but still found light pollution! Taken just after 1am in the morning.
Waning Gibbous, Sunday 6th September.
I was drawn to this image for two reasons, firstly it is rare for there to be a clear sky in NW England (I am not joking!) and secondly it was the colour of the moon that my wife noticed and who alerted me. From a little bit of googling it seems that this is caused by atmospheric pollution.
This a not intentional re-post of an old picture from a couple of years ago. With the reinstallation of my new computer this is something Lightroom did for me. Excuses.
Sometime I find a nice and a bit hilly vista in this flatland, but I have to find all kinds of tricks to get rid of those turbines.
Tetovo is probably the most polluted and contaminated city in Europe. It lacks both breathable air and drinkable water. Industrial waste has been dumped into the water for years, and the air quality is awful as well. Tetovo is surrounded by mountains and pollution keeps increasing.
This land is now dead....!
Have a great week guys.Thank you for comments and faves.

This composite was a bit of an experiment for me.
I have long seen Milky Way photos taken in close proximity to population centers.
Bogus! I'd say.
So I thought I'd take a stab at it.
Here I'm on the western outskirts of Albuquerque. I shot the landscape the way I normally would, adjusting the histogram to just peak out on the highlights. That didn't leave too much for the shadows, or the sky. Doing that alone, you would see a few stars, but not really that many.
I then reset my kit to capture the sky. To do this without causing my sensor too much grief, I partially masked off my lens so that it could only see the light pollution and higher, no direct artificial lights. What surprised me was that the Milky Way was discernable at all! In this composite, it is actually roughly 90 degrees away from the road at left leading in to Albuquerque. I did have to pull out all the tricks to make it look this clear. It's exposure and contrast are enhanced relative to the surrounding sky.
So, on the one hand, I was shocked to observe this much of the Milky Way without really "leaving town." On the other hand, this experiment confirmed the tricks that folks have to perform to create images of the Milky Way over their favorite city. They're a bit bogus, like this one. That said, it can be quite a challenge to try to piece it together. Made from 23 light frames by Starry Landscape Stacker 1.8.0. Algorithm: Mean Min Hor Noise.
Cheers!
I wonder if bonfires added to the light pollution on this shot from yesterday, Guy Fawkes night.
