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.
Student parking at Michigan State University at night. MSU has installed solar panels in 5 parking lots to create the largest solar installation in the State of Michigan (peak power 10.5 MW). Half moon is in the sky between the arrays.
I revisited my Solar Eclipse photos and processed a photo to draw out as much detail of the solar corona as possible. A solar eclipse is the only time most people (including myself) have seen the outer layer of the sun. An added benefit was that Regulus can be seen at the lower left in the photo. Regulus is the brightest star in the constellation Leo -- where it marks the heart of the beast. The moon is 1.25 light-seconds from Earth, the Sun is 8 light-minutes from Earth and Regulus is 79 light-years from Earth.
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.
Partial solar eclipses are relatively common compared to total eclipses. They occur about 2 to 5 times per year somewhere on Earth. A partial solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, but only partially obscures the Sun.

Solar Sailer from TRON: Legacy.
TRON: Legacy is visually one of my favorite movies, and I've always thought it would be cool to build the Solar Sailer. SHIPtember provided the perfect opportunity! Unlike last year, when I didn't make a single BrickLink order, this year I had to order most of the pieces to build this. It was definitely a Seriously Huge Investment in Parts! Keeping with tradition, this SHIP, like both my previous SHIPs, is exactly 100 studs long (not counting the data beam).
Also a big shout-out goes to my man Pascal for doing the awesome edit.
Mesa Arch in Canyonlands National Park at sunrise. Just one of many iconic locations shot on western road trip with Kevin Benedict. Mesa was one of my favorites, and it's as close to a sure-fire bet that you will get an interesting shot as you will find outdoors. There were not too many people there that morning, which meant everyone had time to move around and try different angles. The nice thing about Mesa is that you have a pretty good time window for composing sunrise shots. Note that the sunburst here is above the horizon, with the sun coming through the underside of the arch. The best reflected light on the underside of the arch comes a bit after sunrise.The temperature was perfect in the early morning making for a nice relaxing time to set up and concentrate on executing the shot.
Taken with my trusty Pentax 12-24mm, which has a simple starburst pattern but which can shoot in to direct sun pretty reliably. I also had my Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 which has a beautiful starburst pattern, but it doesn't shoot in to the sun very well and the results were pretty messy.

7 mile bike ride to the marsh and i arrived just after sunrise but the light was crap. Not a wasted journey though, great place to fly the drone! About an hour after sunrise the sun started to rise behind the low clouds and you could see a halo starting to appear.
Down in Port Fairy, they don't bother with solar panels to collect the sun's energy. They just tap straight into the sun! ; )

The sun burst in through the windshield.
Blinding in its beauty as it danced across the dashboard.
Brilliant colors and streaks throughout the vehicle as it played leap frog with the dust and dirt on the glass.
So much beauty in a simple drive through town.
Things we miss as we stop looking around.
Slowing down enjoying the moment.
No longer worried about where ones going
or when to get there.
Beautiful.
Sunlight of the dashboard, mirrored and enhanced for extra color.

Travelled to John O'Groats, Scotland to look at the sun but the moon got in the way.

Thanks Dom !!!
While exploring Windsor, Ontario’s Malden Park one early morning I discovered this antenna on the top of the hill in the park. Not exactly sure what it’s purpose is, but I was intrigued by it, especially when I saw the solar panel at the base that provides it with power from the sun.
The solarizer filter embedded within Photoshop Elements 5.0 software changes the color spectrum of a photo... and with the right shot it can create a compelling piece of imagery.
Purists may scoff at the changes, but I think it blurs the distinction between photography and art.....and I find it another exciting frontier of the photo world.
In case you didn't know this is what the solar system might look like.
I had to atually do some "Honey Dos" last weekend.
You know the ones - Honey do this, Honey do that.
So some paint on metal posts had to be touched up and naturally it was a special paint which I had to hunt down. Made by Resene Paint in New Zealand, it is a metallic paint, and quite stiff as you can see from the picture above, taken after stirring it to try to make the contents evenly dispersed throughout the mix.
For those that are polychromatically challenged, metallic paint has a aluminium type substrate added which gives it a sparkly effect.
Most new cars these days are painted in metallic as often and only white is offered in the "normal" price and any other colour costs extra, perhaps another way that the manufacturers use to surgically remove more $$ from you.
Metallic paint is also called polychromatic or "metal flake" paint.
Historically, it was difficult to achieve an invisible repair if the paint was damaged because it is critical at which angle the flakes in the paint lie. Modern techniques have more or less eliminated this problem. Similarly it was difficult for amateurs to get an evenly dispersed mix of the metallics, and when sprayed on a surface, would clearly show up. Trust me I speak from experience.
It appears that metallic paint use on cars goes back to about 1930 which surprises me.

The Solar Corona - The white rays are the solar corona which are the outer part of the suns atmosphere which extends millions of kilometers into outer space and is most easily seen during an eclipse.
In Hamilton Canada, the solar eclipse on June 10, 2021 was only a partial eclipse and this was the maximum of the partial eclipse, however it happened exactly at sunrise as seen here.
Here's a crop showing the solar prominences, literally enormous loops of plasma that extend thousands of miles into space.
Lens is the 645 A* 600mm f/5.6 on the 645Z with a 1.4xTC. I removed the ND filter for totality.
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.
I posted this image before, but was inspired to redo it when I came up with the clever title. :)
Once again, I used the new Nik software (as well as CS6), and am really quite pleased with the results.

Dhaka sky was cloudy, I could not watch the full eclipse. In the middle of hide and seek between sun and cloud, this is what I captured - it was 10:27 in the morning!
This is part of two solar arrays above the neighboring Glen Ivy Spiritual Center, making them the largest private solar energy source in Riverside County..
As a solar observer it is good to see activity increasing as “solar cycle 25” moves forward into its approximate 11-year term. You are looking at a close-up image taken with a Hydrogen-alpha (Hα) telescope.
A solar prominence (also known as a filament when viewed against the solar disk) is a large, bright feature extending outward from the Sun's surface. Prominences are anchored to the Sun's surface in the photosphere, and extend outwards into the Sun's hot outer atmosphere, called the corona. A prominence forms over timescales of about a day, and stable prominences may persist in the corona for several months, looping hundreds of thousands of miles into space. Scientists are still researching how and why prominences are formed. Source: NASA
