This panorama took some time (and all my RAM) to edit this evening HDR Pano stitched, tweaked and polished off in Lightroom, Affinity Photo, Luminar 4 and finally ON1 Photo Raw 2020.
One of my favourite images of 2019 thus far .. :-)
Border country. 9 shots taken on the border of Northumberland and Scotland.
The original image was a little over 2 GIGABYTES
the inner workings of my new computer !!
built and installed by the Turvey boys, my own personal geeks who keep everything running smoothly because if Mama is happy then everyone is happy :))
from the archives. i've been deleting gigabytes of files and junk items to free up room in my mac's memory.
Tonight is GigaBytes GigaThot party and we're celebrating me being January's GigaThot 😃🎉 There is no theme so come hang out and party with us! Things kick off at 6pm SLT!
See you soon!

NASA's Aqua Satellite Celebrates 10th Anniversary
The Aqua satellite mission has proved to be a major component of the Earth Observing System (EOS) for its ability to gather unprecedented amounts of information on Earth’s water cycle, including measurements on water vapor, clouds, precipitation, ice, and snow. Aqua data has helped improve weather prediction, detection of forest fires, volcanic ash, and sandstorms. In addition, Aqua data have been used to detect and monitor such greenhouse gases as carbon dioxide, water vapor, and methane, and to examine the energy imbalance at the top of the Earth's atmosphere and the various components of it. With these uses of Aqua data, scientists have been able to better understand our Earth over the course of the past ten years.
Aqua is a major international Earth Science satellite mission centered at NASA. Launched on May 4, 2002, the satellite has six different Earth-observing instruments on board and is named for the large amount of information being obtained about water in the Earth system from its stream of approximately 89 Gigabytes of data a day. The water variables being measured include almost all elements of the water cycle and involve water in its liquid, solid, and vapor forms. Additional variables being measured include radiative energy fluxes, aerosols, vegetation cover on the land, phytoplankton and dissolved organic matter in the oceans, and air, land, and water temperatures.

A Gigabyte X99M Gaming 5 motherboard, just arrived and ready to build on, seen against the background of my then current "Main Computer" (the one I do most of my computer work (including uploading of pictures to Flickr®) at... That computer bricked on me (in Frankfurt, Germany of all places, about a year on from this shot...) and has since been replaced. Taken in Albany, CA by a Nikon D610 at ISO 3600 with a Nikkor 50mm ƒ 1.4 AF-D lens. Exposure is 1/50 sec @ ƒ 6.3.
Also seen, over on the upper right corner, is the mouse for the "Main Computer". this mouse is also now dead, but did not die at the same time as the computer - it served with the German replacement for a while...
Adam got a new computer...
Bits include:
A CoolerMaster MasterCase 5 Pro
A Corsair RM750i 750W power supply (in case he decides to overclock the crap out of it and add a gazillion hard drives and another graphics card and all)
ASRock X370 Taichi Motherboard (Good feature set without being stupidly expensive - a couple more case fan headers would have been nice though....)
AMD Ryzen 7 1700 CPU (possibly to be overclocked in the future)
16GB Corsair Vengance 3200 Memory (It actually works as advertised with the latest BIOS, as well...)
A Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1070 G1 Gaming video card (Gotta push thouse 1080p frames...)
A 500GB Samsung 960 EVO nVME SSD (Almost sub-second boot times - this thing's speedy)
A 4TB WD Black mechanical hard drive (lots of (relatively) fast space - on a clear disk you can seek forever)
An LG Blu-Ray burner (for creating dvds and things as needed)
A Razer Blackwidow Chroma keyboard (because...errr...RGB?)
Windows 10 Home (the Microsoft tax must be paid...)
I put it together with his...help ;)
The only hiccup was trying to get Windows installed - the Taichi will not boot from a USB plugged into a front USB port, but is perfectly happy to boot from one on the back panel. This may have delayed things somewhat, particularly as the board happily updated its BIOS from a USB stick in the front panel....odd.
Otherwise it's a screamer...I'm jealous...

Gigabyte B450M DS3H mATX MoBo. $58
AMD Ryzen 3 3200G APU OC'd to 4GHz on all cores. $100
AMD Wraith Spire Cooler leftover from my 3600XT.
ADATA XPG Spectrix D50 2X8GB DDR 3200MHz C16. $80
ADATA Swordfish 250GB m.2 nvme. $38
Hitachi HGST Ultrastar 3TB SATA3 HDD. $49
EVGA 600BQ 600w PSU. $59
Cooler Master Sickleflow 120mm and 92mm fans leftover from my NR200 sff case.
Right now I have it set up as a Plex Server. Had to disconnect the 80mm antec fan. It is obnoxiously loud and a bit superfluous since there's nothing to cool down there.
Amazing what $410USD all-in can get you in the PC game these days.

I believe in standards. For computers, they're at: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATX .
Why do I make my own? You can buy a computer that works as well for not much more.
All the name brands are proprietary (non-standard) design. Just wait till a repair or upgrade needs to be done!
