Happy Thanksgiving guys! Enjoy.

Comet NEOWISE (C/2020 F3) over some of the eroded hoodoo formations at Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta, July 14-15, 2020. A faint aurora is at right. The foreground is lit by starlight only; there was no light painting employed here.

 

This is a stack of 12 exposures for the ground to smooth noise, blended with a single untracked exposure of the sky, all at 20 seconds at f/2.8 and ISO 1600, all with the 35mm Canon lens and Canon 6D MkII camera. Taking lots of shots and stacking them allowed the foreground to be brightened without introducing too much noise and ugly banding artifacts the non-ISO invariant sensor of the 6D MKII is prone to. An alternative would have been to take a single very long (multi-minute) exposure at a lower ISO just for the ground, but even then stacking several would still be best.

 

LENR employed on all shots on this warm night to eliminate thermal noise and speckling. ON1 Dynamic Contrast filter applied to the ground. Plus some dodging and burning applied to the ground using a neutral grey layer on Overlay blend mode to better sculpt the otherwise flatly lit foreground on this dark, moonless night. The sky is lit by twilight that is perpetual in summer at this latitude of 51° N.

These trenches and standing water canals are along Amboy Road between Amboy and Sheephole Pass. Here they are at sunset. The water's an odd sight in the Mojave Desert. I believe this land is owned by the Department of Interior, Bureau of Land Management and is leased to the chloride miners.

 

This image was shooting into the sun with the backup camera which has a crappy dynamic range.

 

I went over Sheephole Pass partly to see if old 66 had re-opened. It's still closed east of Cadiz. Will the bridge project extend to four or five years? We'll see.

 

Old US66 (now San Bernardino County 66 or National Trails Highway) is open west of Amboy. You can get to the Bagdad Café or Interstate 10 from Amboy as of the time I typed this.

 

Kelbaker Road remains open to Interstate 10 as of the time I wrote this.

 

...since the glory days of the Orange Blossom gold mine, (nine miles to the north), Bagdad [CA]’s primary distinction was having undergone the longest period without rainfall in the recorded history of North America: between February 1917 and January 1920, the place received one one-hundredth of an inch. Today the sole remains of the town are a single date palm and a sign announcing BAGDAD beside the [Burlington Northern-]Santa Fe railroad tracks.

Being born near the sea, the coast always attracts me. A few rough days and braking waves in backlight got me focussed. It took me a lot of images to finally get this one.

ZENITAR-M2s 50mm f2 MC / 改鏡

  

== 右眼慢拍老鏡攝影展 < 第 7 講 > ==

 

冬天的寒風不是溫柔的,它以凌厲的速度擦拭大地,將楓葉搓紅如燃燒的烈焰。在這莫之能禦的自然神力中,拿著 ZENITAR-M2s 50mm f2 MC 這顆老鏡,改過鏡片排列後賦予影像更強烈的畫意風格,使楓葉不只是靜止的葉片,而是一幕北風的吶喊,一場季節的狂舞。這個畫面讓我聯想到 羅伯特·卡帕在二次大戰諾曼第登陸搶灘時的失焦系列作品,影像幾乎失焦到難以辨認,卻更具速度孤寂與生死瞬間的情緒張力,攝影從不僅只是清晰的再現,它可以承載動感、情緒與時間的脈動。

 

--- 使用刻意修改鏡片排列的老鏡,創造出異質的焦外畫意,使影像帶有撕裂般的張力,這種光學語言,使風中的楓葉不只是散亂的物件,而是畫布上的狂放筆觸,顯現當下的不安分,在風裡飛旋,用失焦來訴說北風的剛烈。

--- 一般而言,清晰度被視為影像品質的標準,但在表現動感時,失焦反而是一種更具張力的語言。卡帕的戰場影像、布列松的街頭紀實,甚至莫內的印象派繪畫,都在探索焦點的模糊如何強化情緒的力度。

--- 標準焦段 50mm 記錄楓葉準焦區域的細膩紋理,而 f2 的大光圈則柔化了失焦的背景,使紅葉在柔霧般的光影中顯得更加鮮活,紅色的葉片被冬風輕輕揉搓,彷彿即將燃燒出訴說不盡的光陰故事。

 

這場如靜似動的視覺體驗不僅與羅伯特·卡帕的戰地紀錄產生共鳴,也與印象派的筆觸哲學相互交織,焦點不再是精準的輪廓,而是流動的情緒,失焦,不只是技術上的偏離,而是攝影語言的一種自由釋放,使影像擁有更強烈的感官能沉浸其中的衝擊,如同詩句未竟之筆,讓觀賞者留下了更多想像的空間與自我闡釋未知的未知。

Reggio Emilia AV Mediopadana is a high-speed railway station located in Reggio Emilia, Italy.Designed by renowned architect Santiago Calatrava, the station features a striking modern design with a sweeping roof that mimics the shape of a wav.

 

It serves as a major transportation hub for the region, connecting it to cities like Milan, Bologna, and Florence. The station features modern architecture and amenities, making it a convenient and efficient stop for travelers in Italy.

Van den Bergh 14 & 15 along with SH2-202 in HaLRGB. This is a 2-panel mosaic from data I finished capturing a few months ago but hadn't had the time to sit down and process until now. I am properly proud of this image, more so than any of the others I have made since going remote. The stark contrast of the blue reflection nebula and the hydrogen alpha emission from the Sharpless cloud juxtaposed next to each other make this an extremely dynamic region.

 

I have not seen that many images of these objects in particular on Astrobin and thus wanted to shoot it in the hopes of inspiring others to make even better images of it in the future.

Ok, so this isn't really what it looked like, but the clouds were pretty great and this is certainly what it felt like. Thank goodness for the trunk camera -- everyone should have one! (Actually, while it's a couple generations outdated I've not seen anything with as fast a shutter speed in an SLR.)

When I saw this I wondered who was having sewer problems and then it dawned on me that I have a backflow valve on my sprinkler system and I pay the water people yearly for it to be checked.. I never saw anybody but then I was more interested in getting the picture than looking for people... LOL!! Happy Truck Thursday, Everybody!!!!!!

This image is part of a series that was captured during a morning explore of a local woodland.

have a nice sunday... =)))

“Ascolta, non vorrei davvero cadere sul filosofico, ma vorrei dirti che se sei vivo, devi agitare le tue braccia e le tue gambe, e devi saltare parecchio attorno, devi fare un sacco di rumore, perché la vita è l’esatto opposto della morte. E quindi, come la vedo io, se sei tranquillo, non stai vivendo. Devi essere rumoroso, o almeno i tuoi pensieri devono essere rumorosi, vivaci, brillanti.”

(Mel Brooks)

Testing out my new Sony A77ii on some trains at Bathurst Street in downtown Toronto as the sun sets. This photo proves the fantastic dynamic range that the A77ii is capable of capturing - no editing done other than some minor highlight adjustments.

Another late entry to Explore.......Dec 26, 2007 #306...thanks to all of you who have commented on this photo :=))))) your support is greatly appreciated :=))))

 

Hello to all my flick friends....Please be kind as this is my first sunset photo of Antalya...Ok well the second entry.....

 

As most of you know I take sunrise photos as I am up very early ...but yesterday I had a chance to be on the other side of Antalya which does not happen that often to take this shot of the sun falling behind the mountains...I know it might not be the most spectacular sunset shot..but I am learning...thanks to the guidance of you all :=))

 

Yesterday was also a special day as I had one of my first flickr meet ups in Antalya with another member...Sinecan from Antalya

 

www.flickr.com/photos/sinecan/

 

Hopefully one day I can meet you all :=)))) We had a lovely chat and day over coffee and tea :=)) This is for you Sinecan !!!!

 

Have a Happy Thursday :=)))))) Best viewed Large and I cropped the bottom a bit..

With a MIR-1 37mm f2.8. I've reversed the front part of the lens back into the body of the lens.

 

You can see more photos from the MIR-1 and four other lenses in my latest YouTube video, here:

 

So I've posted a single video on all five lenses here, if you're interested:

Got holed up in my room after 3-hours in Busan as the temperature plunges -5degC (feels like -13degC again due to windchill).

 

Used 0.9ND + Singh-ray Gold N'Blue filter to accentuate the sunset gold colors here.
