Finally the weather god in Northern Germany was with me and I could get the T12 - NGC6992/6995 The Veil Nebula in Cygnus even with the moon rising 45degrees right of the dwarf.
Stacking inside teh #dwarf3 processing in #stellarstudio and some light proprocessing in Fotos on my iPad.
Not sure what I shoud say to this but the color correction in stellarstudio is best in class, and save tremendous time.
It was a sunny Sunday for the first time in a month.
I'm really glad to see them and enjoy the shooting even if there are only few kinds of flowers.
GB Railfreight Class 66, 66725 "Sunderland" works 6G34 02:46 Dowlow Hindlow Quarry to Small Heath Lafarge through Chorlton, having just emerged from its brief pause in Crewe Basford Hall yard.
66725 has proved to be the most elusive of the GBRf "celebrity" Class 66s for me, possibly not helped by my lack of enthusiasm for the MD's favourite football team whose colours adorn this loco.
It tried to evade me again on this working by ensuring I was bowled by a liner at Holmes Chapel. However, I gave chase and took advantage of its meanderings through Basford Hall to finally get a shot for the album.
Meant to have this done a long time ago--but that pesky thing called 'real life' kept interfering.
Nevertheless, I am pleased with how it turned out. :-)

"Sunshine, sunshine, it's fine,
I feel it in my skin, warming up my mind."
@ Rembrandtplein, Amsterdam
Have searched high and low to get “Bozo” off the bucket list; Scores ! You can punch old Bozo if you want but he just keeps getting back up...
I finished my exams!!!
Finally I can relax a little bit and return to Flickr and photography. I'm so happy for it, and I have a lot of ideas floating in my mind, to do more, and more images.
Hope you like this one!
PD: Tomorrow it's my birthday! :)

¡Espero que os guste esta!
PD: Mañana es mi cumpleaños :)
Finally a clear enough sky came through for me to wander down to the pond and snap away at the comet. Whilst down there we ran into Bob, a retired Astronomer who had worked with McNaught.
The light in the foreground is from someone who had an incredibly strong porch light shining out into the paddock near the pond. Highly annoying! This was a long exposure so there is some noise from the high ISO.
So much to do, I'll post some more later. Might even have a crack at HDR with some bracketed exposures I took :)
After sitting on the curve for just over 2 hours, Colas Rail Freight's 70801 powers away from Hawkeridge Junction whilst working 6C37 from Westbury Cement Works to Aberthaw Cement Works. Observed on 18th July
Finally they become friends, they wanted me to make a picture of them together, without a fight. And Pip wants to wear more girly dresses. :3
On June 28, 2019, after having them kept on the agenda for several years, I finally managed to visit two well-known photo locations near Lindau: the evening views of the Allgäu mainline near Bodolz and from the Bismarck monument on Lindau's Hoyerberg. For these views, only the longest days of the year offer optimal conditions.
I had only limited luck for the Hoyerberg spot: due to chaotic service on that evening, trains were delayed or cancelled. I had hoped for a Lindau-Friedrichshafen DB 628 service, but during the available time slot (where there is enough light on the sides of the trains but not too much shadow in the foreground) only a reverse 628 from Friedrichshafen to Lindau moved by. Perhaps things will work better in June 2020 or June 2021... In the background, downtown Lindau, Lake Constance, the Bregenzerwald mountains and the Alps of Vorarlberg can be seen (while the ugly monument from which the view was taken, fortunately remains invisible).
So finally I'm getting to my contest! Here's a unique idea ;) This contest is gonna be re-create a custom contest! You grab one of your old customs and re-create it! Here are the rules!
1. The recreated custom has to be at least 6 months to a year old (so I know that you can improve on it)
2. This contest will last a month! (extensions will be given)
3. For any customizers that are new you can try to make a new version of your oldest custom!
4. Purist figures aren't allowed (sorry guys!)
5. Maximum number of entries is 3! But
remember quality over quantity.
6. Must take a before and after picture!
______________Prizes______________
1st: A shoutout and two commissioned figures.
2nd: A shoutout and a comissioned figure.
3rd: A shoutout and a revised version of my shy guy custom.
________________________________
For first and second place just wanted to let you guys know I'm low on both flesh heads and hands, but will scrap old customs to make yours! Good luck everyone and try your hardest!
After waiting almost half the day I finally get my first road train on a recent weekend trip on the BNSF. H-MEMBIR is passing through Dora, Alabama after getting their mechanical issues resolved and working Amory.
Finally got my Rieviera drama Agnes,Masterpiece theatre Giselle and Powerhouse Ayumi back with their new haircuts,feel like getting new girls LOL.
I referenced Rila Fukushima's haircut from her movie Wolverine 2 for Ayumi,and i think it really works for her.
What is that big orange ball on the horizon?......
seriously it feels like so long since I've seen the sun. It feels like Its been overcast, grey and raining forever!
And when the sun does manage to break through the cloud cover, i'm stuck inside working.....
But then I suppose the bad weather really makes you appreciate the good days, cause it felt like a real luxury being out this morning and seeing the sunrise! in fact I was enjoying the sunrise so much that I was forgetting to shoot any photos
ISO-200
F/11
1/25 second exposure
...after a long day at work for her, and a long day at the hospital for me.
Now a couple of hours rest for both of us.
Tomorrow is a new and even tougher day than today.
St. Marx Cemetery is a cemetery in the Landstraße district of Vienna, used from 1784 until 1874.
It's a good place for bad lenses. Holga lens on the Sony NEX 5N, Nikkor 28 F3.5 with Nikon F/Fuji X Tilt Adapter on the Fuji X-T1 and Lensbaby Sweet 35 on the Nikon D800 - never exploited those lenses so extensively.
Will return soon.
Lucky they take off over water--they'd be hard pressed to clear the trees from a land-based runway. Double-crested Cormorant on Armand Bayou.
Finally I have the tickets to my trip in Brazil, next week...
I'm so excited... and I just can't wait for that.
Spring has been a long time coming in my neck of the woods. These are the first signs of "something happening' - hurray!! View my photos larger and on black at Flickriver
