Every day I leave my praxis at lunchtime, grab my camera and walk through the city of Bochum, Germany just for one hour.
Trying to get a good shot, which is not so simple, because it is NOT a nice city !!!

Every breath you take
And every move you make
Every bond you break, every step you take
I'll be watching you
Every single day
And every word you say
Every game you play, every night you stay
I'll be watching you !
*This old shot I found in the "March2008" folder reminds me of this song : )
*explored* Thanks Hammy !
Every time I pick up my camera I look first for the macro or close up shot. My Macro 105mm stays on my camera all the time, so I guess my passion is Macro...

Every day I drive by this downed sign - it has been this way for months. It is not a good area for me to stop my car otherwise I'd upright it. The comical thing is there are numerous individuals who walk by this sign each day with their dogs as well as joggers and skateboarders - I guess it's too heavy for them to pick up. Now if I'd gone over and planted some green beans to climb up the legs it would not only be removed, I would be fined for planting vegetables here. Welcome to the East End of Louisville.
Every year the Rose-breasted Grosbeaks pass through our area, and will usually spend a few days at our feeders. Thankfully this spring they made an appearance this past week and stayed over the weekend so I actually go to see them and grab a few photos.
Not as clear as I like as this was taken through the kitchen window. But sometimes you have to take what you can get.
Not every underexposed image is a waste of memory on your HDD. It also proves that the camera doesn't always play the most curcial role in photography, considering this is shot with Nikon D3200.

Sometimes we forget it, but....
every moment has his own thing of beauty. It`s only a thing of your head and perception. When I saw the sky I remembered myself of this sentence, took a look to the tree and sayed: Yes! But I am really far away to use it each day. : )) Homework for the next 50 years!
Here a young man with his violine. Technical perfect and he can take us far away with his music, so follow : )

Perhaps you want to have a look to Pete Huu`s stream. His pictures are telling more about the North than I ever can
Every barn needs a barn cat, and Ellen admirably fills the role. She's sociable, too, and graciously allowed me to pet her.
Every year this cemetery is carpeted with small, purple flowers, this is my first time photographing it.

Grain elevators were built every 10 miles on the railroad because that was the maximum distance farmers could travel and return driving horse drawn wagons in a day.
Every year we take a photo of the girls in front of the Christmas tree, over the years we see more of them and less of the tree.
Merry Christmas to all my Flickr friends xo
Every now and then I like go to Kiasma. Building itself is much more interesting for me than very weird modern art.

2 reds, 2 oranges, 2 yellows, equal-spaced brightnesses. Then 9 equal-spaced brightnesses every other one filled in: dark grey (RGB 12,15,13), magenta (RGB 64,32,57), blue (RGB 66,66,133), cyan (RGB 71, 143, 143) and white (RGB 245,255,247), overlaid with own-software edge-detection lines in the same colours and brightness breaks, over the top of a cyan (RGB 60,139,156) background.
Gives a red, orange, blue and white abstract perspective that highlights detail of the scene IMO.

Rabbits blink much less than humans, only once every five minutes. With so many predators they don't want to become someone's dinner in the blink of an eye.
I first shot the Pinwheel Galaxy last year using my One-Shot-Color Camera. I wanted to try it again and see what I could get using a mono camera and L,R,G,B & Ha filters with a longer set of exposures.
So I recently imaged this target over the span of 5 nights, starting on May13. I collected the normal LRGB filter data and I also collected some narrowband images through my Hydrogen-Alpha Filter. The equipment is pretty automated now so I could get things running and then try to sleep on the sofa - still keeping a general eye on things during the night.
At the same time I was capturing this image, I was also capturing the data for the M63 image I shared in the past few days. So I have not had a chance to go through the data set for this image until yesterday. I really had high hopes for this image - but what you don't always get what you hope for! I considered not even posting this image - but this is a journey and like any other trip - you have good days and you have bad days. I decided to show he bad with the good.
As part of the normal processing of astro image, you take the time to look over all of the image data with software that acts like a blink comparator. Each image should look pretty much the same as others in a sequence, unless a plane goes through the frame or a wondering cloud comes through, or something else goes wrong. The first thing I found was that I had many thin wandering clouds messing up a substantial number of frames that I had collected. These had to be culled. I lost over 5 hours of data and most of my Ha filter data due to this! Ouch.
Then I processed the data - doing calibrations and alignments and stacking operations. This takes hours and hours for my 12 core/24 thread Ryzen CPU to work through - at the end you can't wait to look at the resulting image masters! Then you can see what you actually got. And when I looked I found something called "Pattern Noise". You never want to see this - but - oh yes - I had it in this image. It looks like diagonal smears of rainbow colors….and this is VERY Hard to fix after the fact. What causes this? The most common causes are flexure of the telescope mount (something loosen up?) or Failure to dither exposures. Dithering is a process were the scope change its position slightly for every exposure. This moves the image around on the sensor a tiny bit and the stacking software lines everything back up in the end. This eliminates many sources of noise including pattern noise. It is possible that something in the setup failed during this exercise - thus causing the problem? I'm still not sure what happened here.
So now I have image artifacts and a LOT less data that I planned. OKAY…
Long story, short…. I used every processing trick in the book to salvage the data and the result is attached to this posting. It's….. OK - but to me it’s a disappointing failure. At best it is a lackluster example of the Art (unlike my last image - that one came out *great*). Some have said that still came out alright, but all I see are the problems…
But here it is for your perusal. …..
A little about M101- from Wikipedia:
The Pinwheel Galaxy (also known as Messier 101, M101 or NGC 5457) is a face-on spiral galaxy 21 million light-years (6.4 megaparsecs)[3] away from Earth in the constellation Ursa Major. It was discovered by Pierre Méchain in 1781[a] and was communicated that year to Charles Messier, who verified its position for inclusion in the Messier Catalogue as one of its final entries.
On February 28, 2006, NASA and the European Space Agency released a very detailed image of the Pinwheel Galaxy, which was the largest and most-detailed image of a galaxy by Hubble Space Telescope at the time.[8] The image was composed of 51 individual exposures, plus some extra ground-based photos.
On August 24, 2011, a Type Ia supernova, SN 2011fe, was discovered in M101[9].
Thanks for looking!

every year since the summer of love in 1969 this hippie butterfly has put on his summer clothes and loved his way thru a summer of God's grace's and His natures beauty. But every year at this time his has to fly back south to mexico and rest with his 3 million or so cousins, uncles, sisters and brothers till next year. bye bye. i'll try to stay alive one more year so we can have another fun summer.
