A not-so-great shot enhanced with AI, Topaz and Luminar

I had photographed the moon before with really pretty mediocre results so decided to follow the advice in this article:

It worked a treat. Some of the advice is common sense but there are lots of small things that all need to be considered. Low ISO, smallish aperture, tripod etc. The colorisation was done in Photoshop using a gradient map.

camera toss plus processing = fun

The effort (previous picture) paid off for this Red Tailed Hawk with a vole as a prize. As the juvenile Red Tailed Hawk took off with the vole it briefly landed on this fire hydrant marker across from where I was standing. Moments later he flew off to a tall tree nearby to finish off his dinner. Downsview Park, Toronto.

It's a handheld shot at 1/6 sec of two vehicles passing on a highway, for this week's Crazy Tuesday theme: "Something in Motion." What I can't figure out is why the vehicles themselves show motion blur, but the chrome on the wheels shows up as patterns instead of blur. I took several shots of different vehicles and they all came out the same way.

 

The only thing I can postulate is that maybe the autofocus function on the camera tried repeatedly to focus on the wheels as they turned(?). In any case, I sort of like the look; it gives the image a kind of sci fi or futuristic vibe for me.

I'm lucky enough to be on the Isle of Harris at the moment. I've fallen in love with the South of the island - the birding is superb. This is one of countless Wheaters I've seen and this one seemed particularly smart. I've spent most of today trying to catch displaying Lapwings in flight at a place called Northton - yet to see the results.

 

The Flickr algorhythm has done something odd today - a picture I took 6 years ago and was Explored then has been Explored today as well. Nothing like keeping it current.

A lot of flying hours later.....

So, I had kind of forgotten about this contest until Robot reminded me, so here are the results!

In first we have Wavy Films with his SINnoman Bun from Adventure Time. I really love this figure. It's very original and creative, and the paintwork is really clean.

In second, we have Comic Customs with his Owlman from that animated Juicy League movie. The paintwork is very clean, and I've never seen this figure made before.

In third, we have Ancient Robot Customs with his Toon Lonk. The whole figure is very accurate to Lonk, and the sculpting and paintwork are great.

So, y'all can just DM me on insta to tell me what you want.

I was honestly disappointed in quite a few of the entries that didn't at all fit under the rules of the contest. Y'all gotta read the rules that I put in place.

This time the Caspian Tern managed to catch a Catfish after diving into the pond. This is one of the series of shots that I took of it diving and taking off of water with the fish in its mouth. Good to see them back in our shores. It was a cloudy afternoon; however, a nice break from three days of continuous rain. Burlington, Ontario.

----------------------------- JESUS ✝️ SAVES-------------------------------

 

SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST - ALONE!

 

12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."

 

❤️❤️ IT'S ALL JESUS AND NONE OF OURSELVES! ❤️❤️

 

16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the SALVATION of everyone WHO BELIEVES: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD IS REVEALED, a righteousness that is by FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST, just as it is written: "THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH." (Romans 1:16-17)

 

16 KNOW that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH in CHRIST and NOT by observing the law, BECAUSE BY OBSERVING THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED. (Galatians 2:16)

 

1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2. BY THIS GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.

 

3. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5. and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8. and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.

 

9. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11. Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)

 

7. Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9. I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10. The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)

 

1 Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. 4 Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.

 

5 Moses describes in this way the righteousness that is by the law: "The man who does these things will live by them." 6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 "or 'Who will descend into the deep?'" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11 As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:1-13)

 

Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so WE might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!

 

So you'll KNOW, and not think you're to bad for God to love. The Christian LIFE isn't about how good WE are, because NONE of us are! It's about how GOOD JESUS IS! Because JESUS LOVES US, so much he died in our place and took the punishment for all of our sins on himself. The wages of sin is DEATH, and Jesus took the death WE so richly deserved for us and died in our place. The good news is, there's no more punishment for sin left. WE, you and I were all born forgive as a result of the crucifixion of God himself on the cross that took away the sins of the whole world. All we have to do is believe it, and put your Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. That my friends is REAL UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! YOU ARE LOVED. ❤️ ✝️ ❤️

Thank you so much

After watching the storm clouds build for hours, it ended in this rain storm which also brought lightning and thunder.

... is complete rubbish.

 

I mean it is OK unless you look closely.

Aquí os dejo otra más de esta serie casi abandonada, obtenida justo el otro día, que había salido a dar una vuelta y ver cómo el otoño estaba ya por los suelos. Y en esto que me quede sin batería en la cámara -siempre llevo una en el bolsillo, pero esta vez se quedo en el coche- y claro tire de la que tenia mas a mano, y este es el resultado.

  

Espero que os guste y gracias por pasar por aquí y dejar vuestro comentario.

After two weeks of snowfall, Northern California was visited by powerful Winter Storm Nadia, a much warmer system with embedded moisture from the tropics. The result has been, melting snow, rising creeks, and ultimately a raging river. Marg and I took advantage of a break in the action to take a ride out to the South Yuba to check it out. This is what we saw. All of what you see was blanketed by snow just two days ago.

 

I posted a picture last week from this same location taken during the winter of 2015 after a major rain event. The river is much higher and much muddier after this year's event. The rain is forecast to turn to snow on Friday so perhaps we'll start the entire cycle again. It's been quite a winter so far.

 

Happy Friday everyone.

This was the beautiful result following the cobweb creation, previously posted in this photostream, of my Actaea [Cimicifuga, Bugbane] which was quickly destroyed by local gusting breezes.

I must have had a lucky spider :-)

Good morning, everyone! I hope you’re all doing great. Last weekend was an absolute blast—I spent the day exploring the University of Chicago campus, capturing some incredible infrared shots. We covered a ton of ground, and I’m so excited to finally share the results with you all! There’s something about shooting in infrared that brings out these surreal, almost dreamlike vibes, and this place was the perfect backdrop for it. Can’t wait to hear what you think! Enjoy the shot, and drop a comment if you have any questions or just want to say hey! Cheers!

This image is a labor of love. Originally begun in 2022 and finally finished this year. It is comprised of images from 2 different telescopes, 2 different cameras, two types of binning, and 9 different exposure lengths. I had no idea how difficult it would be to marry all this data together. Finally, here it is.

 

Discovered in 1702 by the German astronomer Gottfried Kirch, M5 is one of the oldest globular clusters in the Milky Way galaxy. With an apparent magnitude of 6.7 and a location 25,000 light-years away in the constellation Serpens, M5 appears as a patch of light with a pair of binoculars and is best viewed during May.

 

A majority of M5’s stars formed more than 12 billion years ago, but there are some unexpected newcomers on the scene, adding some vitality to this aging population.

 

Stars in globular clusters are believed to form in the same stellar nursery and grow old together. The most massive stars age quickly, exhausting their fuel supply in less than a million years, and end their lives in spectacular supernova explosions. This process should have left the ancient cluster M5 with only old, low-mass stars.

 

Yet astronomers have spotted many young, blue stars amongst the ancient stars in this cluster. Astronomers think that these laggard youngsters, called blue stragglers, were created either by collisions between stars or other stellar interactions. Such events are easy to imagine in densely populated globular clusters, in which up to a few million stars are tightly packed together. Text from NASA/Goddard

M5 V2 is perhaps slightly better. V2 used a masked stretch, which made the stars smaller but resulted in a clouded overall look. In V3 I decided to go with a more conventional stretch for better clarity.

Venice Beach, Venice, Los Angeles (California, USA). Martedì, 5 aprile 2016.

 

I was walking around the beach at sunset with my Polaroid, looking for a nice scene with the ocean, the sun going down... but nothing stood out.

 

While I was going back to where I came from, I met this group of guys playing football. One of them looked at the Polaroid and started doing that face "Oh, cool camera! Take us a picture!". I just replied: "If you'd just were playing by the ocean...".

 

This shot is the direct result of his answer: "Well, let's do it!".

 

Thanks again Sean, Joshua, Dante and Melik!
