Keine Sorge, auch in Masuren haben Kühe Köpfe. Hier ist der Kopf aber wohl aufgrund einer zu intensiven Photoshop-Bearbeitung verloren gegangen.

.

Don't worry, cows in Masuria have heads too. However, the head here was probably lost due to excessive Photoshop editing.

.

Please darken your room and

turn the brightness of your display all the way up,

lay back, press L button and

De Groote Ossendrift - Gisteravond was de eerste aflevering van #gezonkenmeesters te zien. Terwijl ik de kunstenaars aan het werk zag dacht ik "zou ik ook zoiets kunnen doen, maar dan met mijn foto's?".

Dat leek me leuk om eens te proberen.

Ik zocht twee geschikte foto's op (een landschapje, en een herder) en ik plakte er een kleine kudde koeien en een kerktoren in (beide gegenereerd met Photoshop).

Het kan vast veel gelikter, maar ik ben tevreden

In the original photo I cut the top of the girl's head off. So I used generative fill in Photoshop Beta to extend the top of the photo.

In 1952, Clyde Lee took the bus from Shoshone, CA to San Bernadino. He returned to town with this 1937 Chevrolet. Clyde and his wife drove the vehicle for several years until it fell into disrepair. Eventually the remains of the vehicle were placed with the Shoshone Museum where it was surrounded by considerable detritus. With the help of Generative Fill I placed it in a more pleasing environment. The actual location is below.

In what was originally a photo of two dead trees, a little Generative Fill wonkiness found this. I kind of like it.

This vertical panorama takes in the nebula-rich northern winter Milky Way over the formations of Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah, from the Fairyland Canyon viewpoint.

Orion is right of centre, surrounded by the red arc of Barnard's Loop, and with the round Angelfish Nebula above the main stars of Orion in his "head."

- Below the Belt stars of Orion is the bright Orion Nebula.

- Below centre is the small round Rosette Nebula with a larger more diffuse area of nebulosity to the left around the Christmas Tree Cluster, all in Monoceros.

- Above centre near the blue Pleiades cluster in Taurus is the magenta streak of the California Nebula in Perseus.

- Below it are smaller nebulas, including the Flaming Star, in Auriga.

- At the extreme top left corner are the Heart and Soul Nebulas in Cassiopeia.

- At bottom, just rising next to the bright star Sirius, is the Seagull Nebula.

The bright object at centre is Jupiter, then in Taurus. Below left is reddish Mars, then in Gemini.

Above Jupiter are the large tendrils of the Taurus Dark or Molecular Clouds.

While the sky was dark it was rich in bands of natural airglow, tinting the sky red, green and with some yellow at bottom. Also visible, faintly, is the Zodiacal Band stretching across the frame from lower left to upper right, intersecting the Milky Way near Jupiter.

The waning Moon was below the horizon or just rising for the sky segments, but was up for the ground segment images taken at the end of the series, with the timing planned so that the low Moon would illuminate the ground with its warm light. Taken on the morning of September 28, 2024, before shooting Comet C/2023 A3 at dawn.

Technical:

This is a vertical panorama of six segments:

- five for the sky, each a stack of 5 x 1-minute exposures at f/2,

- and one segment for the ground which is a stack of 3 x 4-minute exposures at f/2.8.

- All with the Canon RF28-70mm lens at 28mm, with the astro-modified Canon R at ISO 1600 for the sky and ISO 800 for the ground.

The camera was in landscape orientation. The sky segments were tracked on the MSM Nomad tracker. The tracker motor was off for the ground images. For the sky images the lens had an URTH broadband light pollution Night filter, to increase contrast. No other filter was used.

The camera tripod position was not moved — the camera was simply rotated up vertically at 15° increments for the sky segments, then back down to point to the ground for the final ground images.

Sky segments were stitched in Adobe Camera Raw. Sky and ground elements were blended in Photoshop. Mild glow effects added Luminar Neo through a luminosity mask. Generative Fill AI was used to eliminate a handrail and post in the foreground.

The original is 12,100 by 6,800 pixels.

This is a 200° panorama of the arch of the northern Milky Way rising over the Badlands landscape of Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta. This was the night of May 31/June 1, 2024, when from this latitude of 50° 45' N the sky is not fully dark even in the middle of the night, here at about 1:30 a.m. MDT. So the sky retains a blue tint, especially to the north at left.

So this records quite a colorful sky contrasting with the earth tones of the Badlands landscape of eroded bentonite clay hoodoos, iron-rich rocks, and sagebrush. And I like the field of white flowers mimicking the stars above.

Adding to the sky colours are bands of green oxygen airglow, especially at centre to the east, and perhaps yellow sodium airglow at right. At left to the north the horizon is tinted pink from a faint arc of aurora borealis. A Kp5 show of Northern Lights was predicted for this night but nothing of the sort materialized!

The mass of stars toward the galactic centre at right in Sagittarius and Scorpius also glow with a combined yellow light, in part due to absorption of shorter wavelengths of starlight by interstellar dust in the spiral arms of the Galaxy. It is that obscuring dust that creates the dark regions along the Milky Way, splitting the Milky Way starting in Cygnus at top and extending at right down into Serpens..

The stars also have their own colours, such as blue Vega at top and yellow Arcturus at upper right. Yellow Antares in Scorpius shines above the hoodoo at lower right.

But the most striking sky colours are the red and magenta from glowing hydrogen gas in star-forming nebulas along the MilkyWay and toward the galactic core rising at right. I emphasized those through the use of a filter that isolates that red wavelength of "hydrogen-alpha" emitted by the nebulas. The most obvious H-alpha feature is the large round nebula at right, Sharpless 2-27 surrounding the star Zeta Ophiuchi above Scorpius. The red nebulas in the Milky Way to the left of Sh2-27 are from Messier objects and other faint nebulas in Sagittarius and Serpens.

At the top of the arch is the constellation of Cygnus, filled with red emission nebulas in thespiral arm we live in, the largest and brightest being the North America Nebula near the star Deneb. To the left farther along the Milky Way in the northeast are numerous nebulas in Cepheus, Cassiopeia and Perseus, most in the next spiral arm farther out from us. Much farther away, is the Andromeda Galaxy just rising at left.

However, it takes long exposures and special techniques to bring out the colours in what to the eye would be a dim black-and-white scene.

I shot this from the Trail of the Fossil Hunters, a favourite spot of mine, on a perfect spring night — mild, no wind, no smoke, no dew, and no bugs! The trail winds off up the hill as if toward the galactic centre.

TECH DETAILS:

This is a blend of 3 different 200° panoramas, all with the red-sensitive Canon Ra camera on the MSM Nomad tracker, and with the Canon RF15-35mm lens at 15mm and wide open at f/2.8 and with the camera in portrait orientation:

- A initial pano, untracked, of 16 segments 15° apart, each 2-minutes at ISO 3200, taken at night with just starlight and ambient sky light providing the illiumination. I shot an earlier "blue hour" panorama as well, shot before I could polar align the tracker, but I did not use it, as aligning it proved too difficult!

- Immediately afterwards, I turned on the tracker motor to take another 16 segments also at 15° spacings, each 1-minute exposures at ISO 1600 with no filter.

- The final panorama was again tracked, of 8 segments only 30° apart (still with sufficient overlap for stitching to work, and speeding up the shooting), and each 2-minute exposures at ISO 6400 with a 12nm bandwidth Astronomik H-alpha filter installed in front of the sensor (a "clip-in" filter). The lens has to be refocused after installing such a filter, no easy task with the heavily filtered image so dim.

Each pano was stitched in PTGui, then blended and masked with Photoshop, requiring a lot of manual warping to align them and to get the horizons to match. I used generative AI fill to add in content to fill otherwise blank corners in the ground pano. The H-alpha sky pano contributes just the red nebulas, via BlendIf and masking. I also used the StarXTerminator plug-in to eliminate the stars from that pano. A Nik Collection Color EFX filter added an "Orton" style glow effect. Adobe DeNoise AI was applied to the ground and unfiltered raw sky segments before stitching. Topaz Photo AI applied to the ground for some further mild sharpening. Most satellite trails removed with removal tools.

Again, all frames were shot in quick sucession from the same tripod position.

This is a panorama of a classic green auroral arc (with himts of red) across the northern sky defining the sweep of the auroral oval. I shot this in the early evening on November 9, 2024 at sea during a coastal cruise in Norway on the m/s Nordkapp, a ship in the Hurtigruten fleet of ferries and cruise ships. This is looking north from the bow viewing area of Deck 5 of the ship. We were between Trondheim and Bodo this night. A Kp5 level storm sparked bright aurora early in the evening. The seas were calm and smooth.

The Big Dipper and Ursa Major are at centre in the north. Vega is setting at far left.

Technical:

This is a panorama of 7 segments, each a 1-second exposure (short to minimize trailing from ship motion) with the Nikkor 20mm lens wide open at f/1.8 and Nikon Z6III at ISO 3200. Stitched with PTGui with manual control points needed to assist in the alignment. Shooting a panorama from a moving ship is tricky and has to be done very quickly, ensuring each segment is as level as possible.

Throngs of tourists & modern signage ruining what would otherwise be a nice old world view of Vienna? No problem, this was an easy fix with Photoshop's new generative fill tool. I also played with the color tones to reduce the brightness & added a cloudy sky.
