My beloved red onion, you always give my salad the right spiciness. Your relish also refines other stews made from vegetables or meat roasted in the pan. I definitely don't want to do without you. Even if I have to tickle you a little with the knife every now and then – please don't resent the cutting – I will always be very careful. Please stay with me, my dear.
Well, all right – that should just be a small declaration of love for a vegetable that I really appreciate: the red onion. (And no, I didn't cry – I know the trick and didn't breathe through my nose ;-) ...)
///
Meine liebe rote Zwiebel, Du gibst meinem Salat immer die rechte Schärfe. Deine Würze verfeinert unter anderem auch andere Schmorgerichte aus Gemüse oder in der Pfanne gebratenes Fleisch ergänzt Du hervorragend. Ich möchte auf gar keinen Fall auf Dich verzichten. Auch wenn ich Dich leider ab und zu mit dem Messer ein wenig kitzeln muss – nimm mir bitte das Schneiden nicht übel – ich werde immer sehr vorsichtig sein. Bitte bleib bei mir, meine Liebe.
Also, na gut – das sollte nur eine kleine Liebeserklärung an ein Gemüse werden, das ich wirklich sehr schätze: die rote Zwiebel. (Und nein, ich habe nicht geheult – ich kenne den Trick und habe nicht durch die Nase geatmet ;-) ... )

#MacroMondays 2020 / February 17 / #Vegetables / HMM and a splendid healthy day to everyone!
I had no idea what I was taking picture of, but the building looked interesting. The sign was a bit of a clue and it turns out, that Vancouver is only 4 years older than this refinery. It looked abandoned, but still produces 10% of Canadian sugar. Rogers Sugar was founded in 1890 by Benjamin Tingley Rogers. If I have a son, I would name him Tingley, for sure. Tingley may had some problems in school with that name, but he became one of the wealthiest men in Canada.

This week's theme for Mosaic Montage Monday was Refine. What inspired me was something I read about the trend towards people refining their craft, becoming masters of their craft.
Excellence in photography has always interested me and I continually try to advance towards achieving it. I enjoy seeing photography from people who treat photography as an art.
I am so happy to finally have a great camera and I am learning all the things it can do that my old camera couldn't. Photography is more than the camera, though. The environment you create when your spirit is into it is something special. For me, I am always fine-tuning that part of it...
Slovnaft is an oil refining company in Slovakia.
Slovnaft's factory near Bratislava is a significant polluter of groundwater. To protect the waters of Žitný Ostrov, a hydraulic wall of wells has been built east of the Slovnaft site, the polluted water of which is constantly being cleaned
Another refining old photo.
This is my favorite swan picture out of my collections, even though it was sort of out-of-focus. I regret that I only took one shot, without having any alternative position or exposure.
A farmer unloads raw salt at salt field yard in Chittagong, Bangladesh. This photo is taken in the destination of Banshkhali Upazila in the division of Chittagong in the country of Bangladesh.
The salt industry being one of the largest labor intensive cottage industries of Bangladesh absorbs largely around 5 million people directly or indirectly. The total value chain of the salt industry in Bangladesh involves largely two sub-sectoral activities namely-- the refining process which is operated by salt mills and the crude salt production process that involves a significant chunk of marginal farmers of coastal Bangladesh.
Among the farmers, farmers some are cultivating salt on their own lands while the other farmers are cultivating salt after taking the land as lease either directly from owners of the lands or through middle men. Local administration sources said a huge quantity of lands are being used for salt cultivation in Banshkhali this year.

বাঁশখালীর উপকূল জুড়ে চলছে লবণ উৎপাদন। এখানকার বিভিন্ন ইউনিয়নে ৫০ হাজার লবণচাষি ১৫ হাজার হেক্টর জমিতে লবণ চাষ করছেন। অনেকে জমি মালিকের সঙ্গে চুক্তিতে চাষ করেন। উপজেলার কাথরিয়া, বাহারছড়া, সরল, গন্ডামারা, পুইছড়ি, শেখেরখীল, ছনুয়া ও খানখানাবাদ উপকূলীয় এলাকায় ব্যস্ত সময় পার করছেন তারা।
লবণ চাষিরা জানান, কাঠের রোলার দিয়ে মাঠ সমতল করার পর চারপাশে মাটির আইল দিয়ে ছোট ছোট প্লট তৈরি করা হয়। এরপর ছোট প্লটগুলো রোদে শুকিয়ে কালো বা নীল রঙের পলিথিন বিছিয়ে দেওয়া হয়।
জোয়ার এলে মাঠের মাঝখানে তৈরি করা নালা দিয়ে জমির প্লটে জমানো হয় সাগরের লবণাক্ত পানি। অনেকে ইঞ্জিনচালিত শ্যালো মেশিনও ব্যবহার করেন। এভাবে পানি সংগ্রহ করার পর ৪ থেকে ৫ দিন রোদে রাখা হয়।
কড়া রোদে পানি বাষ্পীভূত হয়ে চলে যায় আর লবণ পড়ে থাকে পলিথিনের ওপর। লবণ চাষ মূলত আবহাওয়ার ওপর নির্ভরশীল। একটু ঝড় বৃষ্টি হলেই উৎপাদন বন্ধ হয়ে যায়। কুয়াশাও লবণের জন্য ক্ষতিকর।
উৎপাদিত লবণ থেকে পানি সরে গেলে ব্যাপারীদের হাতে তুলে দেওয়া হয়। এই লবণ কিনে নিয়ে কারখানায় রিফাইনারি মেশিনের মাধ্যমে পরিশোধন শেষে বস্তা বা প্যাকেট ভর্তি করা হয়। পরে সেই লবণ চলে যায় বিভিন্ন স্থানে।
The company was founded as Kristiansands Nikkelraffineringsverk A / S in 1910 by, among others, Samuel Eyde, Anton Grønningsæter, Jacob Børresen and Victor Hybinette. Hybinette had invented and patented a process for refining nickel by electrolysis: the Hybinette process.
The Hybinette process was in use until 1975, when it was replaced by the so-called KL process, which is still in use in a modified version (the KLA process).
The raw materials for the plant initially came from Flåt mines near Evje, about 70 km north of Kristiansand, where nickel ore was mined from 1872 to 1946.
Already in the time after the First World War, however, it was clear that the mines could not deliver as much as the nickel plant needed.
The plant also experienced a major fire, and struggled with low nickel prices on the world market and generally difficult economic times. In 1929, the owners therefore accepted an acquisition offer from Canadian Falconbridge Nickel Mines, and the plant was named Falconbridge Nikkelverk AS. Falconbridge had discovered large deposits of nickel-containing ore in Sudbury, Canada, which could be sent to Kristiansand for refining.
As early as 1966, the plant installed computerized process control, allegedly as the first company in Norway.
With further streamlining, staffing has decreased from around 1,600 people in 1974 to around 500 in 2008, at the same time as production has become three times as large, emissions to air and water have almost disappeared, and electricity consumption has been reduced by 60%.
In October 2006, Falconbridge Ltd was acquired by Xstrata. 7 years later, in 2013, Xstrata merged with Glencore. Glencore employs close to 190,000 and has businesses in a wide range of industries, - minerals and mines, oil, grain, production of metals etc. Today the company markets itself as Glencore Nikkelverk AS. wikipedia
Trying some different editing techniques on the Carina Nebula, one of my favourite night sky objects. This is using 9 frames, stacked, without guiding. Using starnet++ to remove the stars, edit the nebula, refine the stars then add them back. My favourite Carina edit yet! Canon 7D2 with old non IS 300mm f2.8L lens of a CGEM 2 mount.

Inside the lens, there were some small dusty crumbs or condensed moisture, it's a pity, because now, the clear blue sky has some "mistakes".
Après un réveil matinal, je me suis rendu de Dombås à l'endroit selectionné la veille, plus bas dans la vallée. En roulant, j'ai rapidement compris que le brouillard allait compromettre mon plan. Après un demi-tour sur la route, je cherchais sans trop d'espoir une autre position qui n'était pas dans le brouillard, bonne avec la lumière et sans que celle-ci soit cachée derrière la montagne. Comme aucun coin ne réunissait tous ces paramètres, je me suis arrêté ici, au bord de la route. C'est en effet là que la situation paraissait la moins pire. Après plusieurs minutes qui ont semblé être une éternité, les rayons du soleil ont enfin commencé à éclairer la zone. Quelques minutes plus tard, un bruit se faisait entendre au loin. La TME 1514, louée à OnRail, arrivait.
La photo montre le train 5902 reliant Åndalsnes à Alnabru. Il s'agit de l'unique train de marchandises à circuler sur la ligne de Rauma. Habituellement tracté par une Eurodual, il arrive occasionnellement qu'une TME puisse être observée en tête de celui-ci.

The modern history of petroleum began in the 19th century with the refining of paraffin from crude oil. The Scottish chemist James Young in 1847 noticed a natural petroleum seepage in the Riddings colliery at Alfreton, Derbyshire from which he distilled a light thin oil suitable for use as lamp oil, at the same time obtaining a thicker oil suitable for lubricating machinery. In 1846, Baku (settlement Bibi-Heybat) the first ever well drilled with percussion tools to a depth of 21 meters for oil exploration, based on data of Nicolay Voskoboynikov; it was 13 years before the Drake's well was drilled in Pennsylvania. The new oils were successful, but the supply of oil from the coal mine soon began to fail (eventually being exhausted in 1851). Young, noticing that the oil was dripping from the sandstone roof of the coal mine, theorized that it somehow originated from the action of heat on the coal seam and from this thought that it might be produced artificially.

The raindrops glittering in the sun refine this already beautiful dahlia blossom and create a masterpiece of shape and color. I think that it should do without big words and work on its own.
For this reason, I'll leave it at that and wish you all a bright start to the week.
Die in der Sonne glitzernden Regentropfen veredeln diese auch so schon schöne Dahlienblüte und schaffen ein Meisterwerk aus Form und Farbe.Ich denke, das sollte auch ohne große Worte auskommen und für sich alleine Wirken.
Aus diesem Grund belasse ich es dabei und wünsche Euch alle eine strahlenden Wochenstart.

Refining my comet shooting technique after the dramas of last time. I used a Nikon D810A with a Sigma Art 135mm lens at f/2, ISO200, 27 x 30 second shots during and beyond astro twilight. The camera was on a ZWO AM5, I used the ZWO ASIAIR Mini to polar align, then get my framing where I was happy with it, and ran the autofocus routine with a ZWO EAF connected to the lens. Once that was done I ran unguided in continuous exposure mode with a wired shutter release that locks on, while I shot landscape astro comet shots with the other camera. For processing I used APP, I didn't do any comet alignment. I removed much of the astro twilight colour from the sky and with more subs the satellites are almost gone. The artifact on the bottom right is from the ground getting in the frame! Final processing in Photoshop.
Time has a way of refining perspective. I've been thinking about the recent wildfires in Los Angeles Eaton Canyon/Alta Dena, Palisades, Hughes. I don't know yet how to photograph them. But I did photograph some wildfire areas back in 2021, walking burns and mudslides up the south central coast that happened in 2018.
In that year, the Woolsey fire burned much of the same area as the recent Palisades fire, burning through the Malibu hills and up the coast into Ventura. Many homes were burned. Even after 3 years, you could still see bleached driveways, foundations, and patios where homes were. Like bones in the sun. And in the hills, trees, palms, and patches of soil were black. There was a stillness.
It is here, in the Malibu hills, where I shot this photo.

It was raining outside so I set the tripod up in the passenger seat, rolled down the window and took the photo. I took a few test shots and wondered why everything was blurry. Then I realized I should probably turn the car off to reduce the vibration during a long'ish exposure.

These are the big vats that they used for refining sugar from molasses when this mill was in operation. All that remains of the original structure is the walls and these kettles and other machinery. The roof is now replaces by a huge, steel structure, and walkways have been built inside it so people can get closer to the equipment.
When I first started coming to Sugar Mill Gardens back in January of 2008, the walls had no protection around them and the whole ruin was encircled by a chain link fence to keep people out. I think the decision to reinforce the structure with the steel roof was done to preserve what's left of the walls and the kettles. Parts of the wall came down even during the time between when I started visiting, and when they built the enclosure. It is rather monolithic and ugly, but the good thing is that we can now go inside and see things closer up than before. Future generations stand a better chance of seeing this old mill's ruins now.
Yesterday's visit by Storm Arwen found one photographer in Cornwall doing two things he wouldn't usually dream of. Firstly, he set out without his tripod, intentionally at that, and secondly he was in the car by noon, hours before sunset even at this time of year. It was the beginning of a strange and exhilarating couple of hours in the company of the storm.
I almost always head for Portreath when the weather gets exciting, partly because it's so close to home, but also because it offers a couple of handily placed objects that always grab the attention here. If you look at the other shots in this album you'll see plenty of images of the famous Monkey Hut, rebuilt for no apparent reason other than as a seascape photography subject after the winter storms of 2014. It's less often that I train the lens on the megalith of Gull Rock, planted by giants in the middle of the sea a few hundred yards from the shoreline here. Wondering how big it is? Zoom into the top right hand corner and that herring gull will give you a better idea.
As you drive towards the coast on a day like this, you gradually sense the ramping up of the elements; trees sway ever more wildly as you approach your destination. You open and close the car doors with two hands, praying the wind doesn't rip them from you as you watch them smash into the side of the vehicle you park next to. From the main drag of the village you catch glimpses of the angry sea, with occasional columns of spray drifting towards you along the harbour front.
Yesterday I'd decided on an hour at most. I'd then go home and drink coffee as I pored over the results. I'd attached the 70-200, and at the very last moment popped the 100-400 into the bag as backup. As is so often the case, the moment I was ready to shoot, the sun disappeared, taking the contrast and what colours there were with it. I'd decided a fast shutter speed was important to what I wanted to achieve, hence the absence of the tripod, and taken the ISO to a place I usually prefer not to go to. As I pointed the camera towards the sea, a volley of foam flew towards me like snow, and throughout the episode I found myself continually turning my back to the scene to protect the camera. Almost immediately it became apparent that more reach was needed - it's always fun trying to change lenses in a storm, or at least so I feel when I'm not actually doing it. In the moments when I could shoot, I'd turn and face the sea, looking for big waves to focus on in rapid bursts.
A while passed and I decided I was done, so began my walk back to the car, only for the sunshine to return as I reached for the keys in my pocket. The prospect of coffee and brunch were deeply embedded in my conscious by now, but I reflected on what was almost certainly a poor collection of images on the SD card and turned around, hastening my stride back to the beach before the sun disappeared once more. Suddenly those dull waves were sporting glowing white crests; suddenly the scene had come alive. I set up by the breakwater once more, facing the regular blasts from flying sand and foam across the beach. I was joined by another photographer who was braving it with his Hasselblad film camera on a tripod, attempting the seemingly impossible with a long exposure. If you don't try, you don't succeed and nobody needs to know how many times you failed after all - even though we all do from our own experiences.
From time to time I'd move my focus from the sea, to the Monkey Hut, to Gull Rock, losing track of exactly how many exposures I'd made. Later on at home I recoiled in horror at the number of shots I'd have to sift through - 582 times I'd clicked the shutter in this briefest of outings. A serious cull was needed and before I'd even downloaded them onto the PC I'd reduced that number to 460. Of those, 285 were taken before the half time oranges in the dull light So I disregarded them completely and downloaded just 175, eventually refining my selection to 74. It's so much easier going out to shoot a calm sea with a big ND filter because there's only time to take a handful of shots. 74 is still enough to cause a lot of confusion.
As I looked more closely at the final selection, two things became clear. Firstly, I should have taken the tripod. Those waves really could have been a bit sharper and I struggle to focus my handheld shots with such a big focal length. Answers on a postcard please. Secondly, it seems that a sorcerer, lit up by the sun and almost 100 feet tall lives in the sea beside Gull Rock. Can you see his pointy hat and his long nose? It's worth coming here in a storm just to see what shapes those enormous plumes develop for fleeing seconds as the waves crash into the rock. There will be plenty more shapes in the coming months as the sorcerer contorts and bends his form in the winter storms that are yet to batter the coast here.
