Got a "clear" (as in no clouds, but plenty of haze/poor visibility thanks to our lovely inversion in Salt Lake City) night last night, decided to pack up my gear and drive up to the top of a canyon near my house. Still a bortle 6/7 zone so lots of light pollution that's made worse thanks to the snow on the ground and the haze in the air this time of year. Decided to go for the "layup" in terms of night sky targets, M42, since the skies weren't great and I probably wouldn't have been able to image much else. Just wanted more practice setting up, imaging, dithering, and breaking down this new gear. I think I've nailed the polar alignment process with sharpcap, guiding has been going well (usually around 1 arc-sec total RMS), dithering is something I need to figure out how to automate better though.
Acquisition details:
Shot with Astrotech AT65EDQ and Nikon D7000 (full spectrum mod with UV/IR Cut filter)
Orion Sirius EQ-G mount with Rowan Belt Mod and ADM Losmandy saddle
Orion 50mm mini guide scope and ToupTek guide cam, polar aligned with Sharpcap, guiding and dithering with PHD2
36 x 5 minute exposures at ISO 800
25 x 45 second exposures at ISO 800
100 x bias frames, 41 x flat frames
Editing steps:
created master bias, corrected flat frames with master bias and then created master flat, then calibrated light frames with master bias and master flat in PixInsight
cosmetic correction to remove hot pixels in PI
BatchDebayer to debayer all light frames
StarAlignment for image registration, then stacking (5 minute exposures separate from 45 second exposures), then drizzle integration
Dynamic Crop to crop off edges
Extract luminence channel, then separate RGB channels, LinearFit RGB channels to luminence channel and then channel combination to combine RGB channels
Dynamic Background Extraction to remove gradient
Color calibration with white and dark reference points
Noise reduction with MultiScaleLinearTransform
Screen Transfer Function for the 5 minute exposure stack, masked stretch for the 45 second exposure stack
Open stacks in Photoshop, align as layers, then mask in the 45 second exposure stack for the core of the nebula.
Flatten image and do a smart sharpen
Select brighter stars with astro actions tool, then expand selection several pixels, feather by half as many pixels.
Minimum filter to reduce star size
Curves and levels to add contrast
Open in lightroom so I can resize and export with watermark for web upload
It's pretty overprocessed, the stacking didn't remove some artifacts like the geosynch satellite trails, there was also some horizontal banding that I think was caused by cars driving by illuminating the haze in the air. Not an overly great edit, but it was more about getting more practice with the equipment and just trying this target with this scope for the first time.
Overprocessed for Slider Sunday
Fun with lots of gradients in Lightroom
Take one fisheye shot of the Millennium bridge
Convert to monochrome
darken sky and add red tint to sky
vignette
burn the apocalyptic bits at 740 centigrate or just increase exposure and brightness with a tint of orange
slide the shadows right down to create a silhouette
That used to be the slogan back in the day.
Okay I am not a smoker but I remember Joe Camel.
I think this is a planter ( charity shop)
Happy Sliders Sunday :-)
Luxembourg - November 2022
a place that has already been photographed a lot, but nevertheless very photogenic.
The shutter speed is not that long to avoid a totally flat water, I wanted some motion.
Photo taken with a polarizer to remove water's reflection on the rocks and also some reflection on the leaves in the trees, which enhances the saturation 'naturally' without an overprocessed image needed afterwards of these yellow/orange tones.
In the early morning there was mist, I had arrived very early to be disturbed by no one, which was the case for 1-2 hours! enough to take advantage of the place and also refine the different compositions.
I hope you enjoy

HSS ... Over processed, blown out sky, not framed properly, but I really like this one ... Reminds me of Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti album cover ...
Smile on Saturday theme: Over processed clouds 😄
Thanks to everyone who took the time to view, comment, and fave my photo. It’s really appreciated. 😊
This centerpiece at Silverthorne's ice castle was a tough one to crack. On one hand, the ice walls surrounding it had 2 large archways, one of them directly facing out towards the parking lot where ambient lights were that would ruin the shot (you can still faintly see the illumination towards the center-right). And it almost couldn't be shot at the start of the day (the evening) because I needed it streaked. And if you remember an earlier post, I said they didn't allow me to have my tripod out here.
So what did I end up doing to get this? There was a mound around the fountain that I ended up placing my camera down on to get bracketed slow exposure. And while the colors of this fountain make it seem like the film was damaged, I promise you it wasn't, this is just the most colorful one I got. It took quite a bit to get a result with the rest of the photo. The sky was plain, I needed a dark sky to contrast with the fountain itself. And while the inside of the fountain was a bit blown out, it was necessary as it proved challenging to get it to behave the erupting colors.
Again, this photo was almost impossible to get, some uncooperative elements, and more patience then normal in the editing stage got this potentially overprocessed result.
The endless fascination of that tidal pool in the rocks! And as an added bonus, I just noticed after posting that there is a jack-o'-lantern in the center.
This image took a ton of processing in Lightroom to bring out all the mystery, color and detail, so I dedicate it to the Sliders Sunday group, even though it will have to wait several days before I post it there. Weird and dramatically overprocessed as it is, it remains, as it began, a photograph, taken by a camera, and it is not the creation of software of any kind, including generative AI. Everything visible in this image was in the original capture.

Pecan pie (my favorite) with way, way too much processing for the Smile on Saturday group, challenge: Over Processed. Happy Saturday!
When I was first starting out with 35mm photography many years ago, I took some classes through adult education at a local college. During one class, we had to shoot portraits and our teacher brought in models for us. This young lady was the model assigned to me. She reminded me of one of my great-niece's.
SLIDER SATURDAY 7/52
There are times that I find extensive post processing evokes a very different feel or mood from an image and sometimes I like the result.
Being more of a purist with photography, I seldom post these overprocessed images but I decided for 2012, I would post those images on what I have termed "Slider Saturday". These will be images that I have extensively moved the sliders in post processing.

This whole image is just under the one inch guideline including the negative space as required, I can provide proof it needed!
Love and Peace .. everyone!!!!!
Thanks to everyone who; viewed, commented or favoured or just had a quick look!!!
Low light and huge iso, rescued by a lot of overprocess LOL ! The day the sun came out they didn't want to play !

A "Happy Smile on Saturday" for all of you
and stay healthy.
The original was a little bland, so I applied a Photoshop Neural Filter, which added perhaps a bit too much - over-processed. Actually, I like it. For Smile On Saturday! and my POTD.
Out for a drive I spotted this old Wood Grain Storage Bin, you don't see to many of these any more and the ones you do see generaly aren't used for their original use.
Slid this one a bit trying to get a bit of an "Vintage" look.
For - Happy Slider Sunday - HSS!
An attempt at over-processing a picture - on purpose.
Luxembourg - November 2022
a place that has already been photographed a lot, but nevertheless very photogenic. The composition is basically quite simple, here I wanted to add a little touch by adding the stones in the foreground. I tried also to be close to those rocks in order to have the waterfall as the bridge higher than me.
The shutter speed is not that long to avoid a totally flat water, I wanted some motion.
Photo taken with a polarizer to remove water's reflection on the rocks and also some reflection on the leaves in the trees, which enhances the saturation 'naturally' without an overprocessed image needed afterwards of these yellow/orange tones.
Focus stack on the foreground to have those sharp also as well as the water fall.
In the early morning there was mist, I had arrived very early to be disturbed by no one, which was the case for 1-2 hours! enough to take advantage of the place and also refine the different compositions.
I hope you enjoy

Gegen den Wind ankämpfend
The theme of group "Smile on Saturday! :-)", on Saturday July 29, is "OVER-PROCESSED PORTRAIT". For this challenge you have to take a picture of a person (no animals, plants or objects!) AND you have to edit your photo as much as possible... exaggerated editing is a must.
I believe I did meet the requirement by overprocessing the portrait. ;-)
Using a collaging process similar to the one I used to create my Abstract Collages, I combined a number of pieces from the VIsual Mashups group. Then seriously overprocessed the result using, amongst other tools, Photoshop's Liquefy.
This started out as a picture of our apple tree in bloom. I used some blur layers, a twist layer and a mosaic layer to make it look like this. Hope you have a wonderful day! HSS!

Two images stacked to make this.... I realise it's overprocessed, I'll probably post a toned-down version sometime soon.
HDR from two RAWs, 7 exp each, plus a fair bit of PS filtering.
That sky looks even better on B L A C K
An somewhat overprocessed Sunday for me...forgive me :)

A lot of LR6 :D
Pink paeony ICM. No, really. It is (where’s your imagination?) ;)
Well, what do you do when you have loads of these wobbly camera shots? Come to that, what do you do for Sliders Sunday?
I was going to do you a painterly tractor, but it was rather a good tractor (though I say it myself) and I didn’t want to rush it. Also, I feel a bit guilty sometimes posting a painterly rendition to Sliders Sunday because the group is intended to be about overprocessing.
So I was ambling through the back catalogue and found this ICM taken in June which is part of a big collection of failures and not so failures. They’re all so abstract that I hesitate to publish some of them, even in the better ones.
But what happens if you Sliders them? Quite a lot it seems. There were some very interesting results from this one because of the strong sense of movement and depth (it’s a twist ICM of the centre of the flower).
Herewith four variants. The first is a Color Efex smash-up with solarisation and bicolour filters (etc…). The rest are Topaz Studio versions. I avoided painterly versions though there were some good possibilities there too. I like the monochrome version (which I’ll post for my 100x on Motion, as well as the fiery furnace. What about you?
I’ll post a link to the in-camera version so you can admire my dirty sensor. (I have cleaned it now ;) ).
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Sliders Sunday and 100x :)
