The woods near my home are like a black hole.

We've had really bad afternoon storms this week and when I got home from work I discovered my power was out. So I grabbed my camera and went out into the rainy darkness to try to seek some light to take photos of.

 

This was a basic photo of a green light on the rainy street, but I boosted the color a little. I have another version of this in my light set, but I sort of liked the watercolorish (is that a word) look of this.

I started by taking pictures of different shapes with light, then paste/copy to make the flower and added the hand...

Moon light

Reflecting the wishes

Reflecting the dreams

Reflecting the hopes

 

Moon light

Shining on the flowers

Shining on the sweet singing birds

Shining on the people of earth

 

Moon light

Brightening the smiles

Brightening the laughter

Brightening the people

 

Moon light

All night its reflecting

All night its shining

All night its brightening

 

Moon light

All night

 

My first attempt at light painting after making the wand. This was mostly just to get an idea of how to use it.

The chronology of the Ronda arab bahts starts at the 13th-14th centuries. The bath is divided into three main zones, following the Roman model of thermal buildings:cold water, warm water and hot water bathrooms. The hydraulic system of the thermal bath has arrived to our days almost complete.

Rays of light spreads and reflects the colors in the room.... still filled with smoke from the burning incense, after the procession left the church... Iglesia de El Calvario.

This is a good example of Film long exposure performance. That and it's also an interesting example of what the FM3a can do. I wanted to try out just how good the built in Electronic light meter was. Even though the manual says that in Electronic A mode this camera doesn't go past 8 seconds (1/4th in mechanical mode), this was more like 5 minutes. I actually got worried I broke the camera! :)

Welcome to the constellation Vela, where the cosmos tells a story of creation and destruction. At the center of this image lies RCW 38, a stellar nursery where young stars are born amidst glowing gas and dust, lighting up their surroundings.

 

In the bottom-right, the striking Pencil Nebula (NGC 2736) is a glowing filament of the Vela Supernova Remnant, a structure formed by a massive stellar explosion thousands of years ago. Next to it, the blue filaments - highlighted using an OIII filter - trace ionized oxygen gas, part of the same remnant. Nearby stars like c Vel, f Vel, and g Vel shine brightly within this tapestry of light.

 

In contrast, the serene NGC 2670 star cluster in the top-left adds a sense of calm to this dynamic scene.

 

This image was processed in the HOO palette, combining hydrogen and oxygen emissions to create the vibrant reds and blues. It represents over 14h of imaging time and careful post-processing to bring out these intricate details.

In a future shaped by the harsh realities of the climate crisis, deserts have expanded across vast areas of the world. The scarcity of water and relentless drought have rendered the land barren, while devastating wildfires have eradicated vegetation and life. In this new world, where rain has become a rare luxury, new deserts have emerged in what were once fertile regions. Humanity had forgotten that there were once peoples who lived and thrived in the desert—the nomads of the Sahara.

 

By a remarkable stroke of luck, a large, forgotten library was discovered in the region formerly known as Timbuktu. This discovery became a revelation, a beacon of hope in an otherwise bleak time. The library contained invaluable manuscripts and wisdom from the past, which could unveil the secrets behind the nomads' ability to survive in harsh desert conditions. In the many caves and underground grottos around Timbuktu, ancient documents were unearthed, bringing new knowledge to light.

 

This photo series explores the rediscovery of this forgotten wisdom, providing a glimpse into how our ancestors navigated life's challenges in the desert. Through these images, ancient truths are brought to life once more, inspiring us to learn from the nomads of the past, as we seek new paths forward in a world grappling with climate change.

 

In the sands of time, where dunes now rise,

A future unfolds under sunburned skies.

Forgotten whispers of a people long gone,

Nomads who thrived in the desert's dawn.

 

From Timbuktu's hidden troves they emerge,

Ancient tomes with knowledge to purge.

Beneath the earth, in caves so deep,

The secrets of survival, awake from sleep.

 

The world once forgot these sun-scorched lands,

But hope rekindles with ink-stained hands.

From parchments brittle, wisdom flows,

As past and present in the desert grows.

 

Haikus:

Lost in shifting sands,

Ancient voices rise again,

Nomads’ truths untold.

 

Dust of ages past,

Timbuktu’s wisdom revealed,

Hope in arid lands.

Couldn't decide what to go for with the "Redux 2014” theme. Thought about the November 10: Film Noir theme which I did late last time but really enjoyed setting up. In the end, decided to go for July 28: Energy theme since I took the picture while on holiday with my iPhone and was not entirely happy with it.

♫ This photo goes well with Star Guitar

Another concept that was kinda tricky to get right. Will probably continue to refine this.

These are baskets that are used to collect tea leaves in the garden...my husband got them converted into lamp shades...they look gorgeous in the dark

Rescanning some old stuff.. And adding a new frame for my slides.

 

Now I regret having fixed my SLR against Light-Leaks.
