Just a fun project compositing in photoshop. Strobist info: 580exii camera right in a 48" octabox at 1/8 power SB700 at 1/16 in a 28" Apollo softbox and a 560 Yongnou in a 8x36 gridded strip light at 1/4 power.
It is a composite image made from two images shot from the same position and angle. First image is a conventional photo (made in visible spectrum) and second image is an Infrared photo shot with an IR converted camera.
You can see the clarity's coming from IR and the color's coming from the conventional image.
Buildings on the horizon are 12km (7.5miles) away and visibility conditions aren't perfect.
See those images here:
I used a solar filter which renders the sun WHITE, not the orange you see here. The sun is SO bright that you have to stretch the data to see some of the grain, and orange/yellow helps to make the solar details easier to see. However since this is a STACK most of that good data is lost in the stacking process.
What is a stack? Photoshop people will know this as a "layer" but instead of using screen mode or lighten mode as one with a star trail, I used ***** mode.
For information about how Venus' motion differed according to your location on earth see: transitofvenus.nl/wp/where-when/local-transit-times/ enter "Trona Pinnacles, CA" in the search box. You'll notice from the slider that Venus doesn't move at a uniform speed. Lots of reasons including that the apparent motion of Venus across the face of the sun is due to a combination of: Venus' rotation around the sun; Earth's Rotation around the sun AND earth's rotation on it's axis. For super fun, enter "Manila, Phillipines" in the search box and you'll see something rather interesting. Advance the slider and you'll notice the ingress is slow but the egress is rapid. (It also makes a LOOP).
My results from Trona Pinnacles look quite linear - but I was using an Equatorial mount so was getting very little field rotation.
From our vantage point (Phil McGrew was with me), the motion was quite linear - see below for the forecast path.

A composite I made for CPS with the theme "Paint With Light."
This was my origional conception, but I couldn't make it happen all at the same time, sooooo I had to piece it together in photoshop.
4 elements used
paint rollerer and red swoosh
paint brush with blue scribble
paint bucket
green eminating light
Red and blue light came from LED flash lights, The red glowing paint on the paint brush was actually the juice from a Glow stick I cut open. Green light was a zoom effect on a small glass filled with green glow stick juice.
Total cost of production : $4.99 plus tax for the glow sticks, everything else was laying around the house.
This composite image presents the three most visible elements of space weather: a storm from the Sun, aurora as seen from space, and aurora as seen from the Earth. The solar storm is a corona mass ejection (CME) composite from EIT 304Å superimposed on a LASCO C2 image, both from SOHO. The middle image from Polar’s VIS imager shows charged particles as they spread down across the U.S. during a large solar storm event on July 14, 2000. Lastly, Jan Curtis took this image of an aurora display in Alaska, the visible evidence of space weather that we see here on Earth.

Selection of 15 photos from about 50 taken over about 2 hours.
300mm lens on D200 = 480mm effective length.
Varying exposures: the full eclipse shots are around 1 second at f5.6 at ISO400, the partial are much shorter exposures.
Composition by photoshop (sorry!) - the earth rotates much farther than this in two hours, and fitting it all on one shot with a composite exposure would result in a bunch of tiny dots.
Even in 1 second, the moon moves a couple of pixels, resulting in some blur.
Radiant Sorceress. Working on my compositing skills. And next time I see a beautiful, rich backdrop and decide I should use it when shooting material for compositing, please remind me that actually a boring, single color that isn’t close to my model’s hair or costume pieces would be better.

Being stuck indoors due to the weather, I have started to explore flash photography using an umbrella softbox with a radio trigger to fire the flash. This is my second attempt at an image which uses some of the things I have learned watching Youtube videos by Joel Grimes. My plan is to work on composites of a person on an added background. Now, my significant other has decided to balk at being a guinea pig, so I have had to resort to a selfie-mode with the accompanying gymnastics as I hop about between flashes, camera and my perch. At least the subject does not complain – rather pointless. Anyway, I have plans to do more of this stuff over the next while to work the kinks out. One such kink is cutting out the background. I did this manually after several attempts to use various selection schemes in GIMP, my image editor. Limited success, so that needs more work. Regardless, nice diversion as long as the weather fails to cooperate. - JW
Date Taken: 2017-01-10 (figure) 2016-03-26 (background)
Tech Details:
As the title states, this is a composite of 2 images. The background is a modified form of this image: www.flickr.com/photos/jwvraets/25972796782/in/datetaken/ in which the image was darkened overall and a significant vignette added using RAWTherapee. The foreground image was taken using a tripod-mounted Nikon D7100 fitted with a Nikkor 18-105mm VR lense set to 34mm, ISO100, Manual mode, Auto WB, f/6.3, 1/200 sec, Nikon SB600 flash inside a Godox 47inch/120cm octagonal softbox with diffuser set camera right face parallel to the axis from the lense to the face and about 4 feet away and also a white reflector set camera left about 4 feet out face parallel to the lense to face axis, triggered by Photix radio trigger set. Free Open Source RAWTherapee was used to process the resulting Nikon RAW/NEF source file by first scaling it to 9000x6000, adjusting exposure to suit, increasing contrast and Chromaticity in L-A-B mode, slightly increasing vibrance with skin tone protection enabled, sharpened, saved. PP in free open Source GIMP: The background of the figure/subject was manually erased and then used as a top layer with industrial image loaded as a layer below, adjustments made to tonality and contrast of each layer to suit, eye whites dodged slightly and pupils selectively boosted in saturation, sharpen, save, scale to 6000x4000, sharpen very slightly, add fine B&W frame as well as bar with text on left, saved, scaled to 1800 wide for posting, sharpened slightly saved.
We went to Kaktovik for the polar bears, but I found the isolated Arctic Inupiat Eskimo village extremely interesting. The population of Kaktovik is approximately 300 people. 7 out of 8 residents are wholly or partially Alaska native Inupiat whose families have lived in the area for centuries. It is the only village within the ANWR (Arctic National Wildlife Refuge), covering only 1 square mile of land. Subsistence hunting, fishing and whaling are a vital part of life for the people and economy of Kaktovik. They are allotted 3 whale harvests each fall, and the whale meat, etc. is distributed among the residents. Kaktovik is 90 mi. from the Canadian border.
This composite contains the following images:
- Slabs of bowhead whale meat from a recent harvest are divided and distributed to the residents, where the pieces remain in yards in freezing temperatures until they can be stored inside.
- The graveyard overlooks the Arctic Ocean.
- A moose head and antlers from a recent kill.
- Snow fence leads to the dome of the Long Range Radar Site (Distant Early Warning (DEW) station, built in 1953 during the Cold War). It is still active today.
- A "Dead End" sign in an area of Kaktovik being developed.
- A doll seen in an icy ditch in the village.
- A sleigh waits for snow.
- Sims Store. It was closed whenever we walked by, but I heard that it is open just a few hours most days. It sells groceries, clothes and supplies.
Most of the images were captured on our first day in the village - then it snowed that night and left a beautiful white covering over the entire area!
So I decided to give composite images a try. Here is a picture of Brent I took awhile ago mixed with an HDR image I took a while ago. I think it looks pretty good, I want to do more of these composites, its easy and produces great results!
HERE is the original picture of Brent.
HERE is the original HDR background that I made from a single RAW file while sticking my camera out the window while driving lol.
so what do you think??

Composite of the Perseid meteors over Catalonia, during about one hour in the early morning of 12 August 2016. The image of the bright meteor at the right was taken as background for the others. Each shot was taken at ISO 1000, f/1.4, 13 seconds, Fujifilm X-T1 with XF 16mm F1.4.
