Thunder Hole - Redux
Acadia National Park, Maine
I posted another version of this shot recently but I'm not happy with it anymore, so I started from scratch and re-processed it. Originally I pushed the image heavily towards blue to take out a lot of the green airglow color out of the sky, but this time I chose to feature a more natural colored sky, I still punched it up a bit for contrast, but the green glow in the sky is real, it is from airglow (see below for description). The sky doesn't look like this to your eye at night but the camera is capable of seeing much more light during a long exposure, so the actual colors of the sky come out in the photographs.
Airglow is a natural phenomenon that occurs high up in the atmosphere as molecular particles emit light when they react to scattered radiation from the sun and various other chemical interactions.
This is a blend of 3 main images, but technically 7 exposures. The sky is made up of 5 exposures at ISO 6400 f/2.8 for 10 seconds each, which are then stacked with Starry Landscape Stacker (available for Mac only, but you can do this in Photoshop) to achieve pinpoint stars and lower noise than a single ISO 3200 shot for 25 seconds would have yielded. The foreground is from two other exposures, 1 at ISO 1600 f/2.8 for 20 minutes, and another at ISO 1600 f/5.6 for 30 seconds with light painting with a flashlight on the rocks and green seaweed in the bottom part of the foreground. All shots were at 14mm, using my Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 lens on my Nikon D800E.
You can read much more about my process in my tutorial "Introduction to Landscape Astrophotography" on the Luminous Landscape website: www.luminous-landscape.com/essays/night_sky___astrophotog...
Starry Landscape Stacker is available in the Mac App Store.

Keeping with the festive season for this week's MacroMonday challenge of "Redux 2015". I revisited the August 31 challenge to capture "Sparkle" .... this time, however, I took a look at some sparkle on my Christmas tree.
This was done using a customized Batman action figure, the McFarlane Headless Horsemen display stand, a light tent, and my beloved Cutout feature on Photoshop.
This particular area looks a lot different this year. I believe a rock slide may have happened in the past year.
The Macro Mondays theme for this week is "Redux 2021" Tell us the two themes you have chosen for your macro Redux. Photo combine "Star" and "Pins" themes. ie Cotter pins and a star on a US ARMY AIR CORPS 2ND AIR FORCE WWII PATCH

"Redux" means I'm revisiting selected pics from a previous series, in order to bring them some personal attention in the post processing that they missed the first time around.

Could have sworn we did shadow this year too, but that was a while back!
A little build from a while back. Instructions for an updated 918 model were released with the Galaxy Explorer set some time ago, but its construction method and overall aesthetic was quite different from the 924 and 928 models. Hence this version that keeps to that style, in the same small footprint (also with a bunch of extra pieces).

You may have seen this shot a couple days ago. It's one I took almost two years ago from our vacation in Britain (I brought it forward to make a comment about a new Flick group).
Looking through those 2-year old photos was a fun experience! I saw things I did then that I would have done differently now (and in particular I was pretty 'heavy handed' with the vignette back then) but for the most part the photos still 'spoke' to me, and it was great to re-live the moment!
I did find myself wondering though "what if..." What if... I had done this.. or done that... or what would the shot look like with a different treatment. That curiosity, combined with the fun of reliving the moment, is what gave me the idea for "Redux Sunday" where I think, on Sundays, I'll take an older shot and maybe 're-work' it a bit, with a creative or in some way different treatment, reviving some old memories with a fresh look!
So... Happy Redux Sunday! :D
Not my photo! I just enhanced it, this is the original www.flickr.com/photos/chriseccleston/2295384933/
We went back the the new 6,000 sq. ft pavilion today. It is now open at Esquimalt’s Gorge Park. Not as crowded today as on opening day.
Another from the hike through the Wachusett Mountain State Reservation.
HBW!

It was always going to be all natural as the theme of the week, but what subject? Trusty welsh poppy once again came to the rescue. There were two further flowers that I could have used, one was very dog eared and beaten. I was surprised that there were the three flowers, but then it’s been very mild thus far this winter.
It is wrinkled and crinkled as well, but safer to stick with all natural.
Thanks for stopping HMM
