Another older shot (2010! Time flies!) I found in a deep dark corner of my hard drive that seemed nice enough to revisit. Back in 2010 I was still shooting only jpegs - I'd give anything to be back in Oklahoma that summer of 2010 hunting P. putnami off in the woods with all that I know now. Someday!

One more on the last day of National Tree Week...this is one from my 10 mile from home project.
I very nearly didn't even capture this as it had telephone wires running right across it.....thank goodness for the clone tool.

Is there anything interesting to see in the direction opposite the Sun? One night last month, there were quite a few things. First, the red-glowing orb on the lower right of the featured image is the full moon, darkened and reddened because it has entered Earth's shadow. Beyond Earth's cone of darkness are backscattering dust particles orbiting the Sun that standout with a diffuse glow called the gegenschein, visible as a faint band rising from the central horizon and passing behind the Moon. A nearly horizontal stripe of green airglow is also discernable just above the horizon, partly blocked by blowing orange sand. Visible in the distant sky as the blue dot near the top of the image is the star Sirius, while the central band of our Milky Way Galaxy arches up on the image left and down again on the right. The fuzzy light patches just left of center are the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. Red emission nebulas too numerous to mention are scattered about the sky, but are labelled in a companion annotated image. In the image foreground is the desolate Deadvlei region of the Namib-Naukluft National Park in Namibia, featuring the astrophotographer himself surveying a land and sky so amazing that he described it as one of the top experiences of his life. via NASA ift.tt/1jod2FX
Tin City on Stockton Beach, NSW. During the Great Depression, a group of squatters constructed a small village of tin shacks. 11 of the shacks remain. Tin City and the surrounding dunes were used in several scenes of the 1979 movie, Mad Max. Around one minute after sunrise, a thick bank of fog rolled through Tin City, adding some rustic romance to the scene.

The 24-inch MagBox by MagMod is one of the finest all-rounder light modifiers I have used.
I own the “Pro Kit,” which comes with a 24 inch octa soft box, cloth diffuser, fresnel lens diffuser, color correction gels, a handgrip, a magnetic speed-ring for two speed lights and a carrying case. However, it does not come with MagGrip attachments for the flashes and they need to be purchased separately ($25 x 2.)
To my dismay, Profoto A1X did not work well with this modifier because of their round heads. The rectangular openings in the speed ring for speed lights are better suited for standard flash heads. Thus, I bought a couple of Godox AD200 Pro strobes and a XPro-F transmitter. Coupled with head extension cords, these strobes work really well. While using the lights in this configuration, I am able to hang the power/battery units closer to the ground—lowering the light stand’s centre of gravity (CG.)
I also bought a Bowen-S mount speed ring from MagMod ($50.) But original version did not work with Godox AD400 Pro, nor with AD600 Pro, and neither with AD-B2 double head unit for AD200[Pro.] The updated version 2 of the speed ring arrived today and it works fine with the above and also with S2 Bowen-S mount clamp adapter. With the speed light adapter, flashes need to be used in their fresnel head configuration. Bare bulb configuration is possible but it is very tight, and the probability of damaging a bulb goes up. For bare bulb applications a speed ring for your light is needed or AD-B2 double head unit for AD200 [Pro,] which allows for either one bare bulb in the center of the head unit for better distribution of light or two bare bulbs in over and under configuration.
Unfortunately, fresnel heads produce a “hot-zone” in the center, even with the cloth diffuser donned. Catchlights show a line through the middle, which is due to the lack of a deflector plate or an inner baffle. My workaround here is to take the two layers of frosted plastic diffusers in Godox’ standard reflector (AD-S2.) They can be clamped perfectly in the modifier during setup and provide ample diffusion to correct the hot zone, but they do not fully eliminate the line in the catchlights. I strongly believe that MagMod needs to design a deflector plate or another diffusion layer (inner baffle panel) attachment for the MagBox. One caveat with my work around is that it introduces a tint to the photos, which must be corrected. Aside from this complaint, I wholeheartedly recommend this product. That said, MagBox Pro Kit is on the pricey end of things ($500.) As runner-ups, I’d recommend either of these two modifiers: The first one being 26 inch RapidBox Octa-S Switch from FJ Westcott with a deflector plate and a grid ($300.) The second one is a 25 inch Glow EZ Lock Octa Small by Adorama and a 27 inch diffuser sock ($100.)

I'm not sure exactly what happened here other than two buskers being asked to move on. From my vantage point, the police offer did a good job diffusing the situation.
This is purely my perception of the events.

Well maybe not all that wild, since that's the reflection of my SUV that you see in its eye!
See the sun shining through the fringe of the cloud on the edge of the blue sky? Yeah, that's what I'm talking about when I say diffused lighting!
