Take a bit of the D.C. Metro roof, tile it so the top and bottom are the same, spin it a bit and shift the color to blue and this is what you get, my Sunday Slider!
BTW: One of the reasons I went the path I did with this is because my first go around left me with an image that I couldn't get perfectly aligned/symetrical. You know that's kind of a thing with me and with the 20mm, any misalignment is magnified, you can see this in the lowest horizontal curve, so it goes but I like the result!!
Due to personal misalignments I wasn't and will still not be able to be here much in the next weeks/months.I have no intention to completely give up on Flickr but I expect my presence here to be very intermittent so I will totally understand if you will choose to be less active on my account. Still hope you will keep me in your contacts as I will eventually be back in a more sustainable manner.
For now all I can do is say thank you so much for your friendship and support that mean a lot to me and wish you a wonderful Summer!

water droplet on a dandelion.one advantage of using a bellows system like the nikon PB6,is i can use a stacking technique called bellows draw,it basically gives a more accurate depth map and greater control of the stacking.dandelions are difficult to work with in stacking software,they always seem to give misalignment to the strands,but using bellows draw,stops this effect(i can explain in detail by mail),btw,did you know dandelion strands have lots of hooks to grip onto!?.i love nature😊.
Here's another shot of the sun setting over Coombes Valley on 28th Dec 2015.
The log pile seemed a nice foreground to the sunset; the logs seem all settled down for the night and therefore the title slumber seemed right not only for the sleepy theme found in the end of the day but also the word lumber (timber) is found in the word slumber so it's kind of a word play.
I used three different exposures for this image - one each for the sky, floor and logs. The only thing is, I used one of the logs to support the camera knowing I may not get an exact alignment - which is what happened - but that very slight misalignment added a certain extra element of dreamy fantasy to it (which as we know is a bit of a trademark of mine)
A random photo...I went to the abandoned garage with my tablet, see previous photo ..only the mirror with my silhouette appeared on the display, everything else was dark, possibly a misalignment of the photo app. That came out of it
Perfect symmetry at the ceiling inside Real Alcázar in Sevilla.
Not so easy to find exactly the right spot and angle (handheld!). Just the slightest misalignment destroys the shot. Of course I still had to correct the lens profile and align in post processing.
A shot taken as it was , only cropped and contrast tweaked a tad . We see here what looks like misalignment of signal transfer between the Lunar surface and this receiving station - does this mean the Earth and The Moon is drifting out of phase ?? Maybe it has been a side effect of the Stellar Drift upsetting the universe like global warming effects on the Earth . If it is I do not think there will be much to be done from here on Earth . What would be the cause of the Stellar Drift , maybe it is all the junk we keep sending out into space upsetting the magnetic forces out there and now the damage is done -------- On the other hand , maybe after the high winds that we have had , perhaps the aerial might need a bit of adjustment !!
... diese Fehlstellung muss koriigiert werden ;-)
Help! Dentist required. This misalignment needs to be corrected ;-)

This was among the first things I checked when I got my latest 2.8F: Focus accuracy is critical in TLR cameras like the Rolleiflex. As the focusing happens through the upper viewing lens with the taking lens below moving along on the front plate - misalignments could occur. Problems would show up mostly with wide open aperture and at close distance. The use of the clever Rolleinar closeup attachments made the test images even more demanding - and nicer to look at.
I was invited to take photos of a vernissage, a private preview of an art exhibition on art and artificial general intelligence. The Misalignment Museum (bit.ly/3ElT36i) is an art installation with the purpose of increasing knowledge about Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), and its power for both destruction and good. I took this self portrait in the staircase. The opening reception is planned for March 3 at 201 Guerrero St. in San Francisco.
I processed a balanced HDR photo from a JPG exposure, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and desaturated the image. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

Playing with a trial of Affinity photo, using the focus merging feature. First batch processed the RAWs in PS into .jpgs and then stacked with affinity then run through denoise ai then over to PS again for a final tidy up.
Finding the Affinity focus merge is a lot better than PS, getting less misalignments and stacking artefacts this barely needed any final tidying at all.
Columbia River Gorge, Oregon
The Tom McCall Preserve at Rowena is open from March 1 to October 31 due to the high risk of erosion and ground disturbance in the wetter months. The preserve is named for Oregon's late governor, Thomas Lawson McCall, whose commitment to conservation in Oregon remains an inspiration. It is a spectacular location to overlook the Columbia River Gorge and is filled with colorful wildflowers in spring such as balsamroot, lupine and buckwheat.
One early morning in May, I hiked Tom McCall Point Trail and surprisingly found myself alone in the entire wildflower wonderland. With the endless sea of balsamroot and lupine, the area seemed to offer abundant photography opportunities. However, after scouted almost all the spots near the cliff, I realized that finding a fresh group of flowers with a good mix of yellow and purple colors and coming up with a clean and balanced composition with the Columbia River Gorge in background is not as easy as it looks. With multiple attempts, I was fortunate to find a good spot to catch the first light of a gorgeous sunrise kissing the flowers in the foreground. It was quite challenging to capture such a high dynamic range scene with many flowers dancing in the breeze. The final image was accomplished through both focus stacking and exposure blending. I spent multiple hours for the entire processing, because I needed to manually clean the misalignment of the flowers across the stacked photos due to the wind. But the final result is rewarding. This is such a dreamy moment I'll remember for a long while.
Always a question to ask, reply quick in haste or sit on it and think about it. This frame freak me out on the misalignment of lines, either the bench is crooked of the wall is crooked, I have a feeling the bench was sitting in a hole.
The Miami Tower is a 47-story, landmark office skyscraper in Miami, Florida, United States. It is located in central Downtown. It is currently the 8th tallest building in Miami and Florida. On April 18, 2012, the AIA's Florida Chapter placed it on its list of Florida Architecture: 100 Years. 100 Places as the Bank of America Tower.
Built for CenTrust Bank in 1987, the 47-story building ranks in the top ten tallest skyscrapers in Miami and in Florida at a height of 625 feet (191 m) and is known for its elaborate night-time illuminations and its dramatic three glass tiers. Designed by the Pei Cobb Freed & Partners architectural firm, the tower consists of two separate structures: A 10-story parking garage owned by the city and the 47-story office tower built upon the air rights of the garage. Preliminary planning for the tower began in February 1980; construction on the garage began by November. The garage was completed in February 1983 and the tower began construction a year later. On August 1984, while the tower was under construction, a 5-alarm fire began on the ninth floor; construction was subsequently delayed for several weeks. On December 15, 1985, the tower was lit for the first time in Miami Dolphins aqua and snowflakes.
By mid-1986, the tower's exterior was complete and the grand opening for the complex was set for early fall that same year. Due to the uneven settling of the tower's foundation to one side by several inches, and the resulting misalignment of the tower's elevator rails, the grand opening for the complex was delayed until February 1987. The complete complex featured the world's only elevated metro station in a skyscraper (Knight Center station). It also gained notoriety for its luxurious interiors, including a sky lobby on the 11th floor covered in marble and gold and a 10,000 sq ft (930 m2) outdoor terrace. Also, its indoor gym features mahogany cabinets. The tower is connected to the James L. Knight Center by a pedestrian walkway and on the first floor is a retail spine covered with green marble. The tower contains 1,160,000 sq ft (108,000 m2) with 503,000 sq ft (46,700 m2) of office space and a 535,000 sq ft (49,700 m2), 1,500 space parking garage.
The building appears during the end credits of the 1986 movie Flight Of The Navigator in an aerial shot of Miami. The very top floors can clearly be seen still under construction.
The roof of the building was the set of Gloria Estefan's 1994 video for "Turn The Beat Around". The building is also one of many featured on the backdrop of the stage on The Tonight Show.
On January 1, 2010, the building was renamed the Miami Tower.

To put my new lens to the test I created this image with maximum magnification using focus stacking to get the depth of field.
Of course I first had to build a Lego Mindstorms robot to automate the process of creating the pictures :). And then I had to find out what parameters to use for hugin align_image to get them correctly aligned. The final stack is created with enfuse.
This is a 50% crop because there where some misalignments further away unfortunately.
All in all it was harder than expected to get a decent result but it was a nice experience.
Happy Macro Mondays!
Just before midnight, crews from BNSF and Hulcher Services go about picking up BNSF Train at H PASKCK9 07, which derailed at MP 22 on the BNSF St. Joseph Sub. about 1900 this evening attributed preliminarily due to a thermal misalignment.

I’ve little use for coins these days, happened to notice this shiny 2022 US Quarter that somehow found its way into my pocket. There was another, with more wear, honoring Maya Angelou.
Wong was the first Asian-American film star, appearing in silents and talkies; Angelou a renowned African-American author; each on the flip side from the usual profile of George Washington, parts of a series.
f/2.8 Acros 1.2:1 Super-Macro on tripod. Turns out I also have little patience for Macro these days. All the softness here is due to minor misalignment from straight down and the extremely narrow depth of field at f/2.8.
Happy Mono Monday!

In response to many requests, we are launching a new hair base for the first time in seven years. The product name is ”AWAKEN".
■ All 180 BoM hair bases are managed in one easy-to-use HUD.
The pack contains more than 5 times the amount of LANEVO old hair bases at less than half the price. Each product is optimized for 5 different mesh heads.
180 hairbase details
Regular hairbase (1st hairbase) 90 colors
Gradient overlay hairbase (2nd haribase) 90 colors
The color buttons on the HUD have the same numbers as those on the LANEVO Hair HUD, allowing you to reproduce the same colors as the hair, including gradients, in the hairbase.
>To eliminate texture distortion and misalignment, a dedicated hairbase is created for each mesh head.
■ Optimized mesh heads
-EvoX
-LeLUTKA Evolution (LeLUTKA)
-Catwa
-Genus
-ASR
ASR does not officially support BoM, so it includes a BoM version and an applier version (no gradient).
We have then created and included a kit to convert the heads to BoM-compatible with a script.
Products include all features and are sold separately for each compatible mesh head.
■ Priced at L$380 each.
A lot of work has finally been completed to achieve high quality, high performance, and low cost. We think you will like it.
enjoy!

Last panorama from this storm event...
I did spend far too long on this one - not having a lot of hope of pulling it all together - 24 frames (3 exp x 8 wide) rain spots all over the lens and a lot of misalignment between the frames themselves.
Still we got there in the end :-)

I took a chance on this quite-clean-looking Zeiss folder with an Opton Tessar objective. Prior to this I'd read about the Opton branch of Zeiss electing to use pitch in some of their lenses, rather than mechanical fasteners, to secure the lens elements in place - and the shortcomings of this approach when it came to long-term reliability of the lens' optical alignment. I'd also read that Zeiss-Opton produced excellent optics which at some point were enlisted to address QC issues coming from Zeiss Jena. So, a mixed bag of opinion.
Unfortunately, it seems this copy has lived up its reputation for misalignment - the mess of yellow adhesive around the perimeter of the middle group element would suggest this is the culprit - I presume it has been subject to some less-favourable conditions which have caused the adhesive to creep over time.
I haven't investigated the lens fully yet (particularly: whether the elements rest against a hard stop, making their position easy to locate) but I'm hoping I might be able to clean & re-cement the element in place at some point.
The few images taken at f/22 have been acceptable. I like the contrast and some of the detail here at f/8 too, considering the obvious problem.., so I'm remaining positive that the Opton Tessar should make a good lens were it properly aligned.
Painting on a black & white photograph. Getting the colours wrong.
The painting depicts an elegantly poised lady riding her young horse, guiding him with a serene assurance as they tread along a narrow road bordered by autumn hedges. Yet, the artist's playful subversion of the seasonal palette is immediately apparent. Rather than the expected golds, reds, and burnt oranges of autumn, the foliage is a fantastical blend of purples, blues, and pastel pinks, lending the scene an ethereal, almost surreal quality. The deliberate misalignment of colours disrupts the viewer’s sense of natural order, transforming the landscape into a psychological and symbolic space rather than a mere depiction of the season. The road itself, winding and narrow, suggests both intimacy and introspection, reinforcing the solitary, contemplative nature of the rider's journey. The horse, young and vigorous, contrasts with the rider’s composed demeanour, highlighting the tension between youth's exuberance and maturity's restraint. Through the artist's bold colour distortions, the scene becomes an exploration of the interplay between reality and perception, inviting reflection on the viewer’s own expectations and assumptions about beauty and natural order.
Large is much better or even larger (2.8mb 5000pixels)
We were fortunate enough to be able to visit Barrenjoey Lighthouse this weekend just gone and I just couldn't resist the opportunity to make a 360 degree panorama.
This was made up from 19 photos shot in portrait handheld while walking around the outside of the lighthouse.
Stitching was a nightmare as my first attempt had some big misalignments... and each mistake takes another couple of hours to stitch and blend, fortunately I managed to get it all working reasonably well on my second go, only one minor misalignment (I'm not including the waves) that shouldn't be visible at this lower resolution.
Full sized image is 17514 pixels wide.
Expect to see some more photos from this weekend in the days to come when I get around to sorting through them all.
Pisa – La Torre Pendente (1173 – 1372)
Four degrees is the leaning of the tower after it had been stabilized in a complicated restoration work between 1990 and 2001.
By the way: The Leaning Tower of Pisa is not the slantiest building or the most slanting tower in the world, as often is suspected. However, it belongs to the most skeletal structures, which - erected planned - have inadvertently fallen into a misalignment.
Record holder is the Leaning Tower of Suurhusen in Germany (5,19° leaning).
An example for a planned leaning building for instance is the Capital Gate Tower in Abu Dhabi with a leaning of 18°.
P.S: According to the legend, Galileo Galileo, who came from Pisa, discovered the law of gravitation in case of dropping different objects from the tower.

What we have here just east of Calhoun Road on the UP Waukesha Sub is a Classic Thermal Misalignment. The derail on the left (north) rail is not to protect the TMA, but to protect the end of the inservice trackage. At the very left, you can see the back of the red flag, temporarily moved out of the guage while UP engineering works on Tie replacement and surfacing the line.
A photographer friend and I took photos at an event organized by the Misalignment Museum in San Francisco, California. The director of the museum invited a Lindy Hop swing dance group with live band to the museum. The dress code was retro. It was an uplifting experience, the swing dance community sure had a lot of fun!
I processed a realistic and a balanced HDR photo from a RAW exposure, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the color balance, curves and saturation, and added some sepia for an old postcard style look. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
