Artifacts of the Past

I went to the Texas History Museum and was amazed at the weapons they had to use back in 1685. lol..Here, in Texas, we use bigger guns for hunting..;) Just kidding. Here's more information
La Belle was one of Robert de La Salle's four ships when he explored the Gulf of Mexico with the ill-fated mission of starting a French colony at the mouth of the Mississippi River in 1685.
Can you imagine, leaving Europe in a 54ft wooden sailboat headed to southern United States. That's crazy, those guys and gals were really brave.

My Circle Collection for the Macro Monday Challenge on 4/19/2021
If I were guessing, this could have come from river rock along the Mississippi River. I believe it came in a bag of river rock recently purchased. This could be a crude spindle whorl used for weaving. My guess is that it was made by the indigenous inhabitants in the area or Early American settlers.
Do you see notches in both the inner circle and outer circle? This could be to control the flow of the thread or yarn.
The blackish shapes along the ground are not rocks. They are the stumps of burnt trees. I find it odd that the fire would travel along the banks of the stream and yet not burn up into the hills where all the green trees grew.
Sony ILCEO ⍺6500 | Sigma 30mm
Small change of perspective can be a great thing, right? Soft evening light was just beautiful that evening from the south side. Amazing sky textures were forming quickly. The wind painted sky was done using one of the Sony apps. I shot that night different variations of the sky, water and the city and mixed them together for the final result. What do you think?

I make this image public for getting an impression of the AVIF format (can be opened in the latest IrfanView, Chrome and Firefox): Link to AVIF in Google Drive
The AVIF image compression (in the HEIF container) is a very promising format as it provides good image quality in a very small package and is (in comparison to HEIC) free of any licenses. I hope Flickr as well as Google and Microsoft products will soon have full support for this innovation.
Besides the high compression efficiency the big advantage over JPEG is that a color depth per channel of 10 and even 12 bit is supported.
This sample is generated using the avifenc.exe command line encoder for windows.
I used this parameters:
avifenc.exe --cicp 2/2/1 -r limited -y 420 -j 6 --min 30 --max 40 --minalpha 30 --maxalpha 40 in.png out.avif
The result is:
- 6 threads used (for my 6 CPU cores)
- to colorspace YUV420 (422 and 444 is not supported by the Windows AV1 extension)
- 12 bit per channel

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.

While driving on Vancouver Island I came across a farm whose fences were lined with tractors and plows from the 20th and possibly 19th centuries. The owner John let us in where we discovered several sheds filled with old rusting farm equipment. It was an amazing opportunity to take photos of beautiful old artifacts.

To the untrained eye, nothing seems out of the ordinary here, just a train passing through a small town. However Craigsville hosts the site of a torn out siding. The only thing that was cleaned up was the tracks and signals, all the rest of the stuff that would have been associated with that is still there, sitting pretty. Codeline, relay box, bases for the US&S R-2s, and a WM SD35... though the last thing is on foreign rails
Another large Italian 6 day tour. Eventful to say the least.
