"It is not unusual to hear media weather reporters discuss the marine layer as if it were synonymous with the fog or stratus it may contain, but this is erroneous. In fact, a marine layer can exist with virtually no cloudiness of any kind, although it usually does contain some. The marine layer is a medium within which clouds may form under the right conditions; it is not the layers of clouds themselves."
Love the diffuse and soft
I want to take another type of picture as I have done. Trying. That I find exciting for me😊and of course as usual😊
Another photo of Twenty mile river. The high clouds diffused the light from Anchorage and the northern lights. The milky way was peeking through the last bit of clear sky.
Went a little abstract this week. Used a piece of paper to diffuse the light source and create the contrast needed to light the diagonal.
HMM! Starts with the letter D.
This is in the family Hybotidae, which are a really interesting family of tiny Empidid-like flies. Their biology is understudied, but they probably nearly entirely predatory as adults. The distribution in the UK tends to be more western than eastern, more so in Wales and less commonly encountered in Scotland.

The top of a new glass reed diffuser jar given as a Christmas gift.
Taken using an MCEX-16 extension tube. Total image size is approximately 4cm.
I came across a diffuser filter in the loft that I've had for many years and forgotten about, so just had to have a play.
The Orion Nebula is a massive cloud of gas and dust around 1,300 light years from Earth and is located in the constellation of Orion.
The Nebula is actually part of a much larger nebula known as the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex.
The first recorded observation of the Orion Nebula doesn't appear until 1610, and this was thanks to the telescope which had been invented two years earlier.
Using his telescope the French astronomer Peiresc noticed the diffuse nebula and noted down his observations, he is therefore credited with its discovery.
Throughout the 17th century many others independently discovered the Orion Nebula including the famous Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens. In 1774 the French astronomer Charles Messier included the Orion Nebula in his now famous catalogue of deep space objects, naming it Messier 42 or M42, a tag is still widely used today by professional and amateur astronomers.

Not sure what this mushroom is, but it is now at the life-giving end of its short-lived cycle, when the gill open to release it's spores for the next crop of mushrooms. 7-image, handheld stack.

A peaceful and beneficial garden visitor, this is a black and yellow mud dauber (Sceliphron caementarium) wasp.
Even though they have bright warning colours, these wasps are not at all aggressive like other wasps. They are solitary parasitoid wasps that build nests out of mud.
After building a cell of the nest, the female wasp captures several spiders. The captured prey are stung and paralyzed before being placed in the nest (usually 6-15 per cell), and then a single egg is deposited on the prey within each cell. The wasp then seals the cell with a thick mud plug. After finishing a series of cells, she leaves and does not return. The larva spins a cocoon and pupates. Eventually, the hatching larva will eat the prey and emerge from the nest.
Stings are rare due to their usually peaceful nature, however nests are aggressively defended.
I walked out of our accommodation with camera in one had and dog in the other in a hurry completely forgetting my tripod.
So this is a sunrise nine image panorama hand held , I`ll leave you to be the judge here .

When it comes to bugs, I let them come to me. I turn on the backdoor lights, add two lamps with 60 watt lightbulbs, and a florescent black light, and wait for the bugs to come in. I sit at my outdoor studio (a table) with camera, flash and diffuser set-up and click away at the interesting ones. I have clamps and a variety of perches too. I don't kill insect for photography. It just doesn't feel right. It's kind of silly because the birds arrive in the morning and eat them.
In response to a comment: The camera is important but not as important as the choice of lens and flash with diffuser. For this huge beetle, I used a 24 to 105 set at 55 mm so the entire beetle was in focus. The flash and diffuser only light the top and front of the beetle. With white cards, I reflected light to the face and ventrum of the beetle .
This was the South Bay after the the mist had passed out into the North Sea,leaving the town and harbour looking a little brighter though it wasn't to last as the mist came rolling off the land again as it started to get dark. The mist acts as a big diffuser making the colours in the sunset look softer.
Thanks for taking the time to view this and other images in my photo stream.
