It looks like a solar system with the planets revolving around the sun.
Parece como un sistema solar con los planetas girando alrededor del sol.

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

Every morning you have the chance to be aware, that you are part of a solar system. And you never will forget the moment when the first sunbeam touches you.
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 lonely road leads to the Ivanpah Solar Power Facility in the California desert near the Nevada border.
On the chance I could capture a different location at high tide and sunset, I went over to the shore only to find that the tide wasn't nearly high enough for what I wanted and the sun was in the totally wrong place. As I had made the three-minute arduous expedition to the shore anyway, I played around with a few long exposures of the waves over the shore rocks and was just about to pack up when I decided I might as well wait and see if the sky did anything interesting as the sun was going down - then got lucky with this lovely 'solar flare' effect. Shot as a vertical pano to get in the foreground rocks and the sky.
Some pretty intense atmospherics on Lindisfarne last week. Apparently this is caused by the reflection and refraction of light by tiny ice crystals in the atmosphere.
Such big skies up there.
Press L - gives it some more impact.

lunar eclipse is near
but here comes the one and only solar eclipse of today :-)
ok, it's a chandelier found in Casa Batll, Barcelona
The sunrises recently have been spectacular here along the Front Range of Colorado. On this day, the sun slipped behind some clouds at the end of the main event and presented this amazing skyscape. The misty clouds heavily reduced the brightness of the sun allowing this image to be taken without a filter.
Image notes: I stood in this spot busy with Canada Geese migrants hoping for a large group to fly in front of the sun. Instead what I got were multiple sorties of smaller groups flying in front of the sun. I couldn't resist the temptation in post to composite those groups into the larger flock you see here. ;-)))

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.

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.
Saturday in Oslo we had 30% solar eclipse.
I used binoculars and reflected the image on white background.
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.
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.
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.
This is a very large species, growing to at least 140 mm. Phyllodesmium longicirrum contains photosynthetic zooxanthellae, which allow it to draw energy from sunlight, hence its common name, the solar-powered phyllodesmium.[3] This is actually a misleading name, as several other species of Phyllodesmium are also capable of photosynthesis, although this is developed to the greatest extreme in this species.Lembeh Strait, North Sulawesi, Indonesia
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.
