Look at you, glowing like a solar fire. You're something special... You're going to rattle the stars, you are !
Happy weekend everyone… 🎈lala•*¨*•.¸¸laa♪

If you think you understand the meaning of this quote, please please let me know, as I am racking my brains ;D

Backlit Silver Spotted Skipper getting its energy level up by spreading its wings towards the afternoon sun.
Common throughout the summer and into the fall season.
Today (25Oct22) we could see a partial solar eclipse from The Netherlands.
I used a 10 + 6 stops filter to create this capture.
Have a great day, cheers!
Location Hellevoetsluis, The Netherlands

Solar power plant covers 25.000 m2 and is composed of 6.777 solar pannels. It was inaugurated in octobre 2021 by Enovos. Arcelor Mittal owns the lake which formerly was used to cool down a steel mine. Projet manager was Éric Golinelli and Solar lake produces 3 GWH/year electricity for 3.200 inhabitants or 800 homes.

A solar test run today with the PGR Grasshopper 3 (IMX174) and my usual setup: Altair Lightwave 72 ED-R (432mm), Daystar Quark Chromosphere
Started late due to clouds.. what else is new..189 frames out of 500 centred in PIPP, stacked in AS2! processed in CS5 with slight deconvolution.

The drought in California continues. We rarely see a lot of cloud under solar halo in the sky.
加州乾旱已經好多年了，平常很難看到日暈和多雲同時出現於天空。
火車已經想不出甚麼點子了，請大家將就著點看吧！ :-)
Mt Coolum taken from east side of Mt Ninderry. It was another 3 am start to see the sunrise from the top of Ninderry but it was too overcasted and the sunrise was a non event. Slightly disapointed with the pictures we had taken so far we decided to pack up and go. Just as we were about to leave the sun light started to filtrate from between the clouds giving this amazing view. One of the ironic things about this picture is that the sun started to shine quite strongly in the area where the new Sunshine Coast Solar Farm (Valdora) is being built. Good spot for a solar farm I say.

There once was a bear
kind of polar
who was powered up largely
by solar.
If the truth would be tol'
she wished to see the South Pole
So then people could call her
bipolar.
We're all taking note of the excessive amount of sunshine we've been having lately but clearly robin can't get enough of it as he/she is out there every afternoon fluffing feathers and stretching out to absorb maximum Vitamin D.
Solarization or the Sabattier Effect is the process of re-exposing photographic paper during the development process. The result is an eerie silver image that contains light lines between the shadows and the highlighted areas. In this case I just slid the Dehaze slider down to the hazy end in Adobe Raw Convertor. It works most on the dark branches and makes the Spring green new leaves just a little hazy. Thanks if you have the time for a comment.
4x5 negative contact printed on 5x7 Ilford MGFB Classic photographic paper. Ilford MG developer at usual concentration of 1:9.
Initial exposure for 7 secs (one second underexposed) with burning of center for one second. Development for 25 secs - 10 second water bath - re-exposure to light for two seconds - then development continued for 95 additional seconds. Stop, Fix, and Wash.
The finished print was photographed with the Nikon D850 and Nikkor 105mm/2.8D Macro lens. The WB was checked with a gray card, and there was no B&W conversion. There are minor adjustments to the Black and White points - otherwise, no global changes to contrast were made, and there was no local dodging and burning.
Solarization, as rediscovered and practiced by Man Ray and Lee Miller, is a technique in which the partially developed positive image is briefly re-exposed to light, leading to interesting effects which include a partial reversal of tonality, particularly in the light tones (which contain less exposed silver halide.) Strong black or white "Mackie" lines may occur at borders between areas of high contrast.
The Sabattier effect, discovered in 1862, is similar but is said to have been produced in photo prints only partially developed, as opposed to the full development practiced by Man Ray. Solarization of negative film is a somewhat different process in which very long exposures lead to complete tone reversal.
This project (and it was a project...) arose from a discussion at the Brooklin, Maine Camera Club. Thanks to Stephen Greenberg and Russell Kaye.
Couldn't help but notice how flat this Swallowtail was holding his wings - like solar panels to soak up all the suns warmth and energy possible.
It was almost noontime and already the day was sweltering hot so it probably didn't take too long to get all charged up.

AAW January 13 to 20: Low Saturation
WIT: I thought it would be cool to make the sun a part of the street lamp. I framed it such that the row of townhouses would lead the eye to the lamp. the desaturation also helped to put focus on the "solar" lamp.
Here's how the 2024 solar eclipse looked from the small town of Terrell, TX, population 18,000. My adventure included flying into Austin, heading south to San Antonio, then back north to Waco, Dallas, Rockwall, Paris, before deciding to come back south to Terrell. Then immediately after the eclipse, I drove straight through from Dallas to San Antonio. Total travel was 1,026 miles driven and 3,669 by air.
Lens is the 645 A* 600mm f/5.6 on the 645Z with a 1.4xTC. Filter was removed for this totality phase.
I had a series of small mishaps which caused me to only capture a handful of exposures during totality, so stacking/blending was very limited. I did my best.
Hope you like it.
