There is no better painter than nature. There is no better equalizer than nature. There is nothing more beautiful than nature. There is nothing more peaceful than nature. There is nothing more dangerous than nature. There is nothing more violent than nature!
At the end, the older civilizations were worshiping nature for a reason. They were not idiots. I feel they were way more cleverer than us modern idiots; who are consuming the exact same nature that gave us the home to live!
Anyway; I hope I started with something that will let you think and contribute your piece to reduce the destruction of nature. Every pieces count. If you even go twice a week to office with public transport or on a bicycle or by walk. Or remember to switch off that light or that screen or that heater when you don't need that. They all count and if we all 7.9 billion do little of our bit; we would probably see the snow coming back to my town; which was lost since last 5 years. Maybe we can see that lost glacier of Iceland coming back.
I am still hopeful on the humanity. Maybe I am wrong! But this is one thing where I would love the most to be right than anything else.
So do your pieces. Please do your pieces to not leave a rotten and dying (or maybe dead) planet for our next generation!
Now this image; late autumn and early winter only for few days only before the sun comes out the temperature and the dewpoint stays in a perfect symmetry to produce these unbelievable spectacle. A lots of time people ignore them. But if you just turn around and stop for a moment; you can see that the painting is better than Picasso. And if you have a Macro where you can to very close, you will know what I am talking about.
It is hard to take such images as even slightest of wind moves those little grass branches and you can't get a sharp image. So I had to wait for the perfect day and time. After few attempts; I got the right condition on a day where the condition was perfect with the snow and the wind. And finally I managed to capture this spectacular visual; which I call as the perfection of nature.

The Retenate farmstead was famous because of its chaplain, don Giuseppe Gervasini (1867-1941), widely known as "the Ratanà priest". He was a healer and a lot of people credited him with many miracles. Even today many venerate him as a saint.
The Retenate farmstead, enclosed in a private estate, is abandoned now: it is a very sorrowful place, rich with memories of our rural and religious past.

While ruminating on the lessons and experiences of attending my first photography workshop, the La Push Collaboration Workshop, I keep returning to one thing. The most valuable aspect of the workshop did not lie in any technical skills learned (though there were many of those). The greatest value was in moments like these, with everybody transfixed by the glow from the embers of the great equalizer--the fire.
The surprisingly many hours spent shooting the shit around the fire helped to provide a more complete picture of the creatives whose artwork and lifestyles are of great inspiration to me. It also solidified a hunch that those of us with a love of both photography and the outdoors share a great commonality, making for effortless conversations and forging of friendships.
Another view towards Suomenlinna. This is from same trip as
I did a G+ post on this too, text is copied below

A tone mapping exercise with pfstools. I have extensively used Mantiuk06 contrast equalization in +Luminance HDR 2.0.2 but unfortunately since that particular version the algorithm has not produced correct result. For this image I used the Pfstools with
pfsinexr imagename.exr | pfstmo_mantiuk06 -e 1.0 -s 1.0 -v | pfsgamma -g 2.2 | pfsout imagename.png.
The result produced with the previous command is almost exactly the same as the result I use from LuminanceHDR 2.0.2 with contrast factor 0.8 and saturation factor 1.2. Luminance HDR 2.0.2 produces a bit more saturated image which I corrected in +GIMP by increasing the saturation by 25. Also the contrast of the Luminance HDR tonemapped image is a bit higher but that is negligible since in most cases some adjustment is made in any case.
Final image below has several the tonemapped images with different white balances combined. Combination processed in +G'MIC with anisotropic smoothing and overlaid over Hugin fused image with 66 percent opacity. In addition some local sharpening, contrast enhancement etc. edits were applied.
Now as HDR scenes go there probably are several potential points of HDR related discussion here.
1. Why would you use HDR on a scene like that?
2. It is way overdone and does not look natural!
Both of these statements are true for this image, please do not get offended :-) Overdone painterly look is intentional and desired effect for this image. Album has also the original for comparison. It gives a good impression of how the scene actually looked.

EQUALIZER SL Magazine was one of our amazing sponsors in our events at Color The World Orange ♥
I met her before once in poetry and heard her name a lot of times from friends. She's an Angel. While I was wandering alone at WEDCOT Disney Park last night she suddenly appeared and was talking to her baby daughter in the nearby chat. I said hi and she responded and we met up for a snap. While I was taking the shot her daughter, Madi asked who am I and she replied, "She and mommy had the same guy before... a very BAD guy!" and Madi replied, "His big loss!" (copy paste) I shook my head, because they were chatting in the general chat. Checked my radar and saw Patch Linden and sim-creator Trevor Sleydon nearby preparing and waiting for people for the start of the Procession of Lights. I blushed and my face turned red! Yeah, face palm moment indeed! I took them to the event and Madi's daddy Warren came in afterwards. Ended the evening with baby Madi got to greet and introduce herself to Patch and Trevor after the program. ♥

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
The very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye
Tell me, baby, do you recognize me?
It's been a year, it doesn't surprise mе
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
The vеry next day, you gave it away (You gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
"Merry Christmas" I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note sayin', "I love you", I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now, I know you'd fool me again
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart (I gave you my heart)
But the very next day, you gave it away (You gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears
I'm giving it to someone special
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
The very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'm giving it to someone special...

There are dark shadows on the earth, but its lights are stronger in the contrast. --Charles Dickens, The Pickwick Papers
Blessings & Beauty, Breathtaking Sunset Tampa Bay Florida Panorama - IMRAN™ (SOOC)
Even though it was tempting to brighten and equalize the dark blue shades and hues of the water, I chose to present this breathtaking sunset on Tampa Bay, Florida, as a stitched image from 11 magnificent Nikon D850 photos straight out of camera, with ZERO color editing or tweaking of any kind. The image had to be straightened because I seem to always tilt my camera to the right in portrait orientation photos, and the top edge had some content aware fill artifacts cleaned up to fill blank white spaces. But, the tones, the shades, the colors, the hues, the magic, are all as I saw them and as the Nikon faithfully captured them. What a blessing to experience this moment at my blessed home in Apollo Beach while I am alive and able to, by God's blessings. These sunsets and ends of the days will continue long after the end of our days on earth. But, what better way to have lived than to have appreciated every moment, every blessing, every experience, and having been fortunate enough to capture some of those magical glimpses into the beauty of nature for posterity. Thank you for the love and prayers, always, as I bow my head in prayer to the Almighty Allah, the One God of all creation, and heaven and earth.

Stati Uniti, Massachusetts, Boston, Autunno 2014
East Boston (Eastie) è un quartiere di Boston, Massachusetts, con circa 40.000 residenti. Situato di fronte porto di Boston, i residenti East Boston godono di una fantastica vista dello skyline della città. Originariamente ricco di cantieri navali, East Boston è sempre stato un quartiere per immigrati. Questa diversità si riflette nella miriade di ristoranti etnici del quartiere. Gli edifici sono un mix di storico e nuovo, con ancora molte abitazioni caratteristiche a tre piani lungo le strade. Una di queste case ha visto i natali del padre del presidente John F. Kennedy Joseph P. Kennedy. Il Logan Airport, è situato qui, facendo di East Boston la via di accesso per le persone provenienti da tutto il mondo. Un certo numero di film sono stati girati a East Boston come "The Equalizer" e "Mystic river".
East Boston (Eastie) is a neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts with approximately 40,000 residents. Located across Boston Harbor, East Boston residents enjoy fantastic waterfront views of the city skyline. Originally a center of shipbuilding, East Boston has always been a neighborhood of immigrants. The diversity is reflected in the neighborhood's myriad of ethnic restaurants. Housing is a mix of historic and new, with many three deckers lining the streets. One of this houses was the birthplace of President John F. Kennedy's father Joseph P. Kennedy. Logan Airport, is located here, making East Boston a gateway to people from around the world. A number of films have been set in East Boston like “The Equalizer” and “Mystic river”.
Agram at night. Lightning is an electrostatic discharge where two electrically charged regions in the atmosphere or ground temporarily equalize themselves, usually during a thunderstorm releasing about billion joules of energy.
CS2 manipulated, equalized the sky, totally de-speckled & un-sharpened to give a CGI look.
Original image is a 60sec exposure using ND110 10 stop ND filter.
Reflections on the "bonnet" of an expensive Bentley automobile remind me that COVID-19 strikes rich and poor alike. We must remember that we are all in this together. We can use this period of time to reconsider our hopes, aspirations, and concerns and come closer together as we are physically distanced.

M101 is a face-on spiral galaxy in Ursa Major. It is a "grand design" spiral galaxy meaning that it has a prominent central bulge and well-defined spiral arms.
Observed May 9, 18, 19, 23, 24, 31 and June 1-3, 2025, to acquire LRGB files. Observed July 21-24, 2025, to acquire Ha (hydrogen alpha) files. Location: Washington D.C..
Equipment: WO Fluorostar 91mm f/5.9 triplet APO refractor with Adjustable Field Flattener 68III with ASI 2600MM Pro (monochrome) as the main camera. WO Uniguide 50 f/4.0 guide scope with ASI 290MM as the guide camera. Chroma 36mm LRGB Filter Set. 36mm Astronomik Ha 12nm filter. iOptron GEM28-EC mount.
Guide camera image scale / Main camera image scale = 2.99 arcsec per pixel / 1.43 arcsec per pixel = 2.1.
Data: 18.5 hours (317x210s subs) with Luminance filter (L). 4.7 hours (80x210s subs) with red filter (R). 3.2 hours (54x210s subs) with green filter (G). 4.8 hours (82x210s subs) with blue filter (B). 5.1 hours (2x210s; 49x315s; 6x420s subs) with Ha filter. Total = 36.2 hours.
Processed fully within PixInsight 1.9.3 Lockhart.
The processing was done using HaLRGB combination as described in a PI tutorial with some deviations to suit my purpose.
Preprocessed to create L, R, G, B and Ha master images.
Applied a dynamic crop to trim away the edges.
Created a synthetic L image by integrating the L, R, G and B images. This will be the new L image hereafter.
Used Channel combination to produce an RGB image.
Applied Gradient corrections to the L, RGB and the Ha image.
Did a color calibration for the RGB image with Spectrophotometric Color Calibration using Sd galaxy appropriate for M101 as the white reference.
Applied a second dynamic crop.
Combined the Ha image with the RGB image using Pixel Math to indicate that the red channel would receive a contribution of 60% Ha the balance being red. Made a mask from the Ha image and applied it to the original RGB image to protect everything in it except for the Ha emission areas. Applied an instance of the Ha-RGB to the mask-protected RGB to get an enhanced RGB image.
Adjusted the Target background and Shadows clippings for L and RGB to be compatible.
Applied a Blur xterminator, prior to delinearization, to sharpen stars.
Delinearized the L and RGB by a Histogram transformation.
Applied a dynamic range compression to the L image by HDR multiscale transformation.
Did a Channel combination to apply the luminance from the L image to the RGB image.
Applied a Star xterminator to split the RGB image into starless and stars only components.
Developed the starless RGB image using Local histogram equalization after applying a range selection mask to protect the galaxy. Continued the development by applying a Curves transformation and Color saturation. Applied a Noise xterminator.
Applied a Morphological transformation to the RGB stars only image to reduce the brightness of the starry background.
Used a Pixel Math expression to recombine the processed RGB starless and stars only images. Finally, reapplied a mask to protect the galaxy and applied a Noise xterminator and a Histogram transformation on the background. If needed, applied a final saturation boost.

At this point, the Park Ranger on the Natural Entrance Cave Tour explained that this was the only natural opening in Wind Cave. Because of that, strong winds can blow either way (inside or out) to equalize the air pressures.

This is the rich region in the centre of the constellation of Auriga with the Flaming Star Nebula, IC 405 at right and the roundish IC 410 at bottom with the cluster NGC 1893. At top left is the star cluster Messier 38, with small NGC 1907 below it. The small nebula at left is IC 417 around the loose cluster Stock 8. The large elongated nebula at top is Sharpless 2-230. The colourful asterism of stars between IC 405 and IC 410 is the Leaping Minnow or Little Fish, aka Mel 31.
This is a blend of 8 x 4-minute exposures at ISO 800 unfiltered with 8 x 8-minute exposures at ISO 2000 shot through an Optolong L-Enhance dual-band nebula enhancement filter (it lets through only Oxygen III blue-green and Hydrogen-alpha red to really enhance the nebulosity). Blending the exposures adds the extensive red nebulosity recorded by the filtered images without turning the whole field — and stars — red and losing the blue reflection nebulas and subtle colour variations even in the red Ha nebulas.
All exposures with the Canon EOS Ra mirrorless camera through the SharpStar HNT150 Hyperbolic Newtonian Astrograph at f/2.8, from home on a very clear moonless night January 24, 2020. All stacked, aligned and blended in Photoshop 2020. High pass sharpening applied as well as a very selective use of frequency separation sharpening with WOW Freq Equalizer extension.

GAU-12 25mm Gatling Gun on a U.S. Air Force AC-130 Spectre Gunship. Saw this on my visit to Air Force Special Operations Command at Hurlburt Field, Florida.
Derived from the chassis of a civilian heavy hauler, the Equalizer matches its menacing looks with a battery of bombardment weaponry. Able to linger in battle for extended periods of time due to its reinforced plating, the Equalizer delivers punishing volleys against capital ships while also remaining a competent anti-frigate platform.
