Deep Dream Generator, I could not make my mind up which one to post .... so I posted both you decide, www.flickr.com/photos/33235233@N05/53288417715/in/datepos...
I've been wanted to get a blue hour shot of the Griffith Observatory so here it is. Check out my set from this amazing place if you have the time.

When I shot this photo, in mid-April of 2019, I aimed to make the foreground foliage and the galactic core of the Milky Way seem to be only a matter of metres apart. In reality, that gap from the treetops to the stars, dark dust and gas structures at the centre of our galaxy is around 27,000 light-years. Somewhat closer to us here on Earth is the planet Jupiter–glowing white here through a slight haze that moistened the Autumn air–orbiting our Sun at an average distance of 760 million kilometres.
Due to the way that I lit the foreground, the pine tree that was closest to the camera looks very bright and has taken on the yellow tone that my LED lantern was putting out. I see those golden branches as the petals of a flower, with the taller tree canopy and the band of the Milky Way making up the stellar stamen, dispensing photons of pollen into the night. The location was Big Hill, New South Wales, Australia.
All of that is opinion and art. The facts of the photo are that it was taken with a Canon EOS 6D Mk II camera, a Yongnuo 50mm f/1.4 lens @ f/1.8, using an exposure time of 8.0 seconds @ ISO 6400.

Juniperus horizontalis on the summit of Cadillac Mountain.
Another blue hour image whose color palette is astonishingly different than daylight. Quite shrubby ... this is an 11 frame focus stack done in Helicon Focus.
I used a photograph I took of the Northern Lights last October and used Sora to make a beautiful clip of the night sky.
Apsara dancers at a root covered temple in Cambodia. These dancers typically perform in a group of at least 3 or more, with the lead dancer wearing white and adorned with more jewelry and a larger headgear. The dance usually portrays a story from Hindu epics or Khmer mythology. In 2003 UNESCO declared the dance a "masterpiece of oral and intangible culture." Today the Apsara dance is an iconic part of Cambodia's cultural identity, reflecting the rich history and artistic traditions of the Khmer people.

My "Celestial Slingshot" is one of those images that tests your patience and perseverance as a photographer. I had gone out on more than one occasion to attempt this image. Even had the name beforehand.
There are many factors that kept me from getting the image I was envisioning. From getting up at 2am to drive out in the Summer months, to fisherman photo bombing me with their way to early rising headlights. Last night I thought it would be another disaster, as an airplane flew over as I was setting up & left the biggest contrail I have ever seen... right in the middle of my comp. But I waited and it eventually floated out of my frame.
The build up was so long, that I am not even sure how I feel about this image... at any rate here is my Celestial Slingshot!

oh yeah this is a fuck up version but i like it most because the space is really space-y
An advanced Futuron scout ship designed to navigate and observe remote locations in the galaxy. Equipped with a full array of scientific equipment for study and alien probing. Ion thrusters and two open gravity coils allow for silent and weightless navigation foreign environments.
Built for The Empire of the Starfighter telephone game, based on Shamisenfred's "SERAPHIN". The Celestial 7 will be rendezvousing with Shannon Ocean to explore the dangerous destination known as "Australia".
Thanks to all the kind comments, and invite/fave my photo made Explore on 20th September.
When the Day Met the Night-by Panic At The Disco
"When the moon fell in love with the sun
All was golden in the sky
All was golden when the day met the night
When the sun found the moon
She was drinking tea in a garden
Under the green umbrella trees
In the middle of summer........ "
