Some of my contacts wanted to know where Waterfall Park was. I put that together with AI. I figured everyone knew that. I got the inspiration from a waterfall park in Central Mexico. I took my then girl friend there thinking she would be impressed because we also stayed in the hotel next door. All she did was complain that it was too load to sleep. I went down to the front desk and had them switch room. We left the next day.
This image was put together with AI as well

Object: M31 - Andromeda Galaxy (Sept 2025)
Never say never! I swore I would not do this target again, but I was at a very dark site and needed a wideband image to test out my new portable setup and M31 seemed as good as any!
A large spiral galaxy in our “local group” of galaxies named for the mythological princess Andromeda and located in the Constellation of the same name. The galaxy is estimated to be 2.5 million light years distant and is also estimated to be 220,000 light years across with a halo weighing in at 1.23 trillion solar masses containing over a trillion suns within its boundaries.
Other names: Messier 31, M31, or NGC 224
Other objects in FOV:
-M32 - compact elliptical galaxy that is believed to be the remnant core of a much larger galaxy that M31 stripped of its mass during a past collision.
-M110 – The largest of M31’s satellite galaxies that is currently interacting with it.
-NGC206 – a bright star cluster within M31 that has a radius of 400 lightyears. It contains hundreds of O & B type stars.

Messier 63 or the Sunflower Galaxy is a 29.3 million light-year distant galaxy in the constellation Canes Venatici. In visible light it has a lack of a large-scale continuous spiral structure. Because of this, it is classified as a flocculent (fuzzy) galaxy. This image is the result of about 8 hours of image integration over 3 nights from Grand Mesa Observatory captured and processed by Terry Hancock and Tom Masterson.
In this image, and in some others, you can clearly see a very diffuse outer structure to this galaxy that probably spans thousands of light-years. I find it very fuzzy indeed :-)

I've been on vacation this week and spent the first few days polishing and sealing my car. Poor thing hadn't been detailed in well over a year, and I was feeling pretty guilty. I just got a new Rokinon 14mm/f2.8 lens and decided this would be a good time to try it out. It's supposed to be great for astrophotography and I hope to get some Milky Way shots with it. The black and white conversion was done using Nik Color Efex Pro.

My technique is alway the same:
Three exposures -2EV, 0, +2EV and then temperature adjustement using Lightroom and layering with luminosity mask using photoshop. Removal of distracting stuff with the stamp tool or patch tool. High pass filter to enhance details. Then saturation, contrast selectively control, dodge and burn where need...
DRI stand for Dynamic Range Increase. Three RAW files are used to achieve this. Rather than using a software like Photomatix for instance, I simply use mask to blend, my own way, the light, dark and normal shot with Photoshop and Lightroom.. To me, It looks more natural than the usual HDR treatment that I would normally applied.

Ma technique est toujours la même:
Trois prises de vue -2EV, 0, +2EV. Ensuite ajustement de la température de couleur avec Lightroom et usage de calques et masques de luminosités avec Photoshop. Retrait d'éléments de distraction avec l'outil tampon. Filtre High pass pour le rehaussement des détails. Ensuite saturation et contraste ajustés de façon sélectives et locales. Dodge and burn là où requis...
DRI vient de l'anglais Dynmic Range Increase, qui pourrait se traduire par étendue dynamique améliorée. Les même 3 fichiers RAW entrent dans la composition d'un DRI. Plutôt que de se servir d'un logiciel comme Photomatix qui fait tout le travail, je me sers plutôt de masques pour filtrer l'éclairage dans photoshop et Lightroom. De mon point de vue, cette façon de faire donne une image plus naturel que le traitement HDR que j'employais auparavant.

Sometimes I create challenges for myself. I have a folder with photos that are "mistakes." They are blurred or just terrible photos, or perhaps the color is off. I decided to see what I could do by combining three of those images. I looked at the tiny icons of these photos and chose three that looked rather abstract, although when I opened them, they were not.
The photos I chose were three ball jars on my kitchen window sill (transparency.) A circular fluorescent light fixture above my kitchen sink (light.) And a clock (time.) The title came from those images. You can see hints of all the elements of the original photos.
I used Topaz software to simplify the images so they were more abstract. In Photoshop, I adjusted colors, repeated them, overlapped them several times in various modes, (vivid light, difference, pin light, etc.) moved them into various positions, and erased some parts so that layers underneath showed through.

Blended layers with Seven Styles watercolor action for Photoshop and [graphic contrast punch] layer blend in Topaz Studio.
This shot is again at the wall of padlocks, but this time I used speedlights and Daniel as human lightstand :)
I tried a new software for editing, which we use at work for After Effects, but this time at Photoshop. It is really great for editing :)
Thank you all for your comments and visits :)
A couple of weeks ago I made an exploratory "wildflower" loop over the Grapevine and up through Antelope Valley to see if the wildflowers were blooming at the Poppy Reserve or anywhere along the way. There were some patches to be found along the way but it was too early in the Gorman area for any substantial possibility for a great shot. The wind was howling at the preserve so I had to speed up shutter time to get a still shot. I laid down in a dirt patch and shot this one across the ground. It was the only way to make a small patch of flowers seem large. Hope you like it. Happy Springtime my Flickr friends. :)
Thank you for taking the time to take a look at my photos and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great day ahead my friends :)
If you have any questions about this photo or about photography in general, I will do my best to help, just post a comment or send me a Flickr mail and I will respond as quickly as possible.
My local farmers field with a tree in the middle has views of Manchester City Centre in the distance.
Imaged the Heart Nebula located in the constellation Cassiopeia. This has been a lower priority target for me in the past but got bumped up once I went mono. I'm glad I was able to get a decent shot of it this year. My camera and scope combo give a good FOV on this faint target. Oiii was extremely faint, but luckily good narrowband processing techniques can mask that well.
Total exposure time for this image is: 29 hours.

***************************
I tried an HDR (high dynamic range) photo once a year ago, but for some reason never pursued it. But it seems that more of and more of the "interesting" photos that I see on Flickr are HDR shots, so I decided to give it another try. The first of these HDR shots were taken from the rooftop of my apartment building at sunset, on the Sunday evening of 4th of July weekend. Subsequent shots (including this one) have been taken out on the street, from the terrace of my apartment at night, and walking through Central Park at mid-day...
This photo is one of a group of ten that I took in the "Sheep Meadow" area at the south end of Central Park. I knew that the trees, the grass, the buildings, and the sky/clouds would be stationary, and I figured that I could pick a time/scene where most, if not all, of the picnickers and sunbathers were reasonably stationary. But there were always a few people in motion, especially the young kids; and though the "ghosting" effect of their movement is sometimes interesting, I think I've concluded that it gets annoying after a while. But aside from that, it is possible to take these HDR sequences (which, in the case of these Sheep Meadow shots, involve the merging of 5 separate images into one composite) in a handheld fashion, without a tripod.
I still have a *lot* to learn about this stuff, but even as a first attempt I'm staggered by what the tonal-mapping software programs (Photomatix, in my case) are capable of doing...
Holiday on Crete, Easter 1982

Original 35mm negative scanned with a Fujifilm X-T4 and Laowa 65mm f/2.8 macro lens, converted to positive using FilmLab software and edited in Lightroom 9.
This is another shot from my stop in the South Side last night. There are a few imperfections I was unable to correct due to the lack of the right software. There's a light streak along the right side of walkway from a biker with a headlight on his bike and a few spots that look like little prisms when this is in color. They only appear when I'm taking long exposures and I have no idea what they are or how to avoid or correct them, so if anybody can tell me what they are I would appreciate the feedback. Other than those 2 little things, I'm really happy w/ how this came out.
