In decembre, it was still warm in Santa Monica (CA). I took this picture because I liked the geometry of these sunshades. In terms of composition, I was also interested in the large flat divisions of the image, a bit like in a Rothko painting. The sunshades serve to break the monotony, and I made sure to concentrate the objects in the dark blue band that the sea form in the center of the image.
In terms of post-processing, I wanted to give a feeling of the 60s. In Darktable, I started by using tone curves to make the sky and the sand lighter. On the sky, I made sure to increase the contrast of the cloud that was barely visible. I couldn't increase it more than what I achieved, because it was creating too much noise. I used color correction to make the sky more blue and the sand more yellow. I used a bit of low-pass filtering on the lower part of the sand and the upper part of the sky to make them smoother. I also used an equalizer filter on the lower part of the sand to reduce contrast. On the sea, I used color zones to make the blue of the sea darker. Finally, both to give that feeling of a picture with an old technology and to fight the smoothness introduced by the low-pass filter, I added grain on the top and the bottom of the image, where filtering had removed the original grain.
This nebula is located at around 7500 lights years from the Earth and extend over 165 lights years.
On the upper right part you can see the Fish Head Nebula (IC 1795).
On the left it is a part of the Heart Nebula (IC 1805) and you can see Melotte 15 in the middle of the Heart Nebula, a little star cluster with a lot of dust

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.

Three exposures with base exposure at 1/500 and +/-2 EV steps. Camera EV bracketing was -1EV, -3EV, +1EV. This leads to a very dark frame in any scene but especially so with this scene.

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...

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".

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.

It's Saturday and I don't have to go into work (yeah!) and it looks like it is going to be a beautiful sunrise. So I jump in the car and head up to the foothills east of Idaho Falls just 15 minutes late! Even though I reached the top too late for predawn color, first light on the rolling foothills was gorgeous and there was still plenty of color in the sky and fields!
This image a manual digital blend of two bracketed shots to produce a "graduated neutral density filter" effect. I decided not to do hdr because in this case I didn't want the pinwheel effect you get as the windmills turn. to equalize the sky and ground even more I used the "multiply through a mask" technique which I promised to illustrate when I get a minute.

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.

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.

The light is the great equalizer whether gracing an opulent adobe or an abandoned, neglected structure...
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.

Most recently, I attended a very cool event - the 139th Birthday of National Research Tomsk State University (TSU). Incredible emotions, excellent playgrounds and exciting music - all of this took place within 7 hours! I got a lot of cool pictures and a ton of positive mood!
