...but that's not it's purpose.
Walking around the mock-up of a space shuttle at NASA's astronaut training facility really drives it home just how big and awesome those things are!
To the left in this frame between the giant blue hydraulic thingy and the giant US flag on the far wall are all the Space Station module mockups from the different nations collaborating in the ISS. You can only see the tops of them from this position. If you want a really good view, take the public tour! The tour goes to a viewing area that looks directly onto the modules down at that end of the building.
This was the only other panorama I was able to shoot in the time we had to walk around the facility floor. For some odd reason they wouldn't let me wander at random and poke around just anywhere I wanted for as long as I liked. Gaaahhh!
So it's not really the perfect shot, but it does give a sense of how big that place is, and help you visualize just how huge the International Space Station is too.
Shot at a warehouse in Tyler, Tx.
My niece...she kept walking across
this and jumping off. God knows why.
Kid's are weird.
Pretty sure I overprocessed the Moon insofar as producing a nice & well-composed image...
But I also kind of liked how otherworldly it feels; as if it's located much nearer within our atmosphere rather than well beyond it.
Wishing everyone a VERY Merry Christmas and Happy upcoming New Year!
Lot's been going on........
Work has been hell.........but it's a job and I'm thankful to have it. It's a major challenge for me.
Adrian failed two recent hearing tests......have an Audiology appointment on the 3rd. Hopefully we can find out if THIS is what is causing the speech issues. I have often wondered if maybe it truly was a hearing problem. He is getting much better at the school I have him in. I had him in public school and well....that wasn't working too well. I switched him to a great Montessori school. It's not cheap but its worth it and he has come a long way in such a short time. He also has a double ear infection which he has been basically been chronically getting since he was a year old. This too is another problem that may be causing both the hearing problems and speech issues. This recent doctor said to get him allergy tested.......so that too is on my agenda. LOL
Missing mom...this is her holiday and it's kind of hard to get into "spirit". I decorated this year for Adrian and for her. I am also remembering that its about Jesus....the reason for the Season. ;o)
I have Adrian holding on to "HOPE".......and together we are sending HOPE to you for the coming year!
xoxoxo
*Side note.......it was actually REALLY cold when I took this photo. I asked Adrian to come outside and he was like "Hurry up mom my EYES are too cold". It was about 45 degrees which for the Florida Keys.......is VERY cold. lol
One of my Black-breasted Buzzard pair flies home with a nice new carpet for the nest.
Some raptors line their nests with fresh eucalypt leaves when they are in residence, it's thought that this might be to reduce parasites as an antiseptic. It certainly improves the looks.
The light was harsh which partly explains the hard look. It might also be a bit overprocessed.
This pair of Black-breasted Buzzards were nesting in a large euc on the bank of the Lyons River, 100m upstream from the road crossing. (The river was not running as is normal outside rain times, but there were a few waterholes with water). The birds seemed to be in the initial stages of nesting, or had just laid and were waiting to lay more. Not much sitting was going on, and no feeding. I watched them for a couple of hours on two days as we camped 10km away. A pair of Whistling Kites had set up nest exactly opposite in an even taller tree.
A Blue Heron on the shores of Pierce Lake in Rock Cut State Park, Illinois.
It is America's largest species of heron, standing over 3ft tall with a wingspan of nearly 7ft.
I tried to show restraint in the processing of this pic, because it really didn't need much. But also because I took a bunch of pics of this guy (and two of his friends), so I've got plenty of material that I can apply my overprocessed look to some other time.
I swear I haven't been doing nothing this summer! Here's the last couple of weeks of canning, buffed and waiting for labels. We've got peach salsa, cascabel peach barbecue sauce, some watery crushed tomatoes, and nine-chile salsa. There are untold hours of chopping representing in these jars. Salsa is a bear, yo.

Straight out of camera JPEG.
It's so great to have a focal range of (24 to 364); having such a focal range is so useful, especially for traveling and just everyday documentation/shooting, this little Sony HX9v has become my favorite, all around, take-everywhere-with me camera.
I have used other highly rated point and shoot cameras like the Sigma DP2s, Ricoh GRD III, Leica DLux (4,5) and Panansonic LX (3,4). I'm not a technical reviewer, but I do shoot a lot and I personally find the SONY having an edge over the other cameras—compared to the other compacts I mentioned, a. Sony covers an extensive focal range, b. I love Sony's Panoramic mode, c. I like Sony's "background blur" effect that actually works quite well.
And, above all, somehow, Sony has the fastest focus. I can shoot my kids on a swing (daytime) all day long without getting a single blurry pic. This was quite hard to achieve with the other point and shoot. Again, I need to mention that one issue I have with Sony is how SLOW it takes to change modes. Otherwise, it would have been one of the most responsive compacts I have used.
Image quality wise, it's impressive (for a small sensor size, compact). It's sharp when shooting up close; it's seemingly sharp when shooting landscape shots but if you zoom in at 100% you will see the workings of the image processor—some areas look good but some areas look downright ugly and overprocessed. That said, the overall image quality for web posting and small-medium prints will be fine.
…more thoughts to come later.
This is what happens I overprocess the same picture 64 times. I'll bet it would look very different on your 64th time.

Had to overprocess photo to bring out Flame Nebula. Clipped the low end of historgram to get rid of skyfog and grain.

ok - this is my "other" entry for the Raleigh photo challenge - yes - I am sometimes an overachiever.
strobist info - 2 bare strobes left and right of model - 24 x 36 softbox camera right.
Melinda thought I should have used this one...
Mon. Nov. 23rd Walkabout.
D90 - Nikon 80-200 f2.8 AF-D.
Feedback welcomed. Prefer Color or B&W version?
To overprocessed? Should have shot at f22 instead of f4.
Snapped on my P&S, dogs on dog walk to polling station this evening. P&S underperforming tonight (blaming my tools?!) so this is the best of a bad lot.
Unashamedly, I have returned to my roots of over processing. Perhaps Kim Klassen can save me from myself when I take her Beyond Layers class later this month.
A praia de seixos de Shingle Street, em Suffolk. A vila é tão pequena que nem constava no GPS do carro. Ainda bem que existem mapas.
The shingle beach at Shingle Street in Suffolk. So out of the way it wasn't even on our SatNav. Thank goodness for maps.
I had so many things planned today, and then I feel asleep and lost 5 hours. Its not something I should make a habit of.
Updated version of an old image.
Feedback welcome! (EDIT: if you think its shit..3 shit votes will spur me to take this one down. Honestly it looks overprocessed to me.)

But the colours... I don't know, man.. I dig em.
p.s. ( austin approves. )
I am in love with toys.
Queen: All alone, my pet?
Snow White: Why... why, yes, I am, but...
Queen: The... the little men are not here?
Snow White: No, they're not, but...
Queen: [Sniffing] Mm-hmm. Baking pies?
Snow White: Yes, gooseberry pie.
Queen: It's apple pies that make the menfolks' mouths water. Pies made from apples like these.
Snow White: Oh, they do look delicious.
Queen: Yes, but wait 'till you taste one, dearie. Like to try one? Go on. Go on, have a bite.
That time of the week to go sliding - shot this as we were shopping for Baby Stuff yesterday for a Grand Niece.
Used PRISMA - Style: Breakfast filter - for a Painterly effect - passed thorough a number of applications - then slide for HSS before this image appeared.
For - Happy Slider Sunday - HSS!
An attempt at over-processing a picture - on purpose.
I threatened a macro didn't I? I just didn't think it would turn out this bad. This really needed a higher angle and that really needed natural light, not a dodgy desk lamp with strobing LED.
These new pound coins came out at the end of last month, but it's taken until last week for me to get hold of one, and I picked that up in the Lake District.
Admittedly, that's largely down to the fact that I make very few cash transactions!
This is overprocessed to try and compensate for the crappy light, and has the super shallow depth of field we find with all macro work, but there's a little bit of it in focus somewhere.
The coin itself is a funny one. The front feels like a normal coin but the back just makes me want to peel off the foil and eat the chocolate within.
Soon enough they'll be absolutely commonplace, but this one will always be my first. :)
Photographing in forests is a challenge - the light is low and uneven. With this shot, I fused three exposures with the "high dynamic range" technique to overcome these light issues. I think it works quite well, and the image does not have the overprocessed look to it like many other HDR images.

For TRP: I hate...
I hate intolerance, i hate hatred. I hate the over-complication of life that somehow allows individuals and groups alike to overlook common decency and ethical behaviour.
on a lighter note...
i hate obviously photoshopped and over processed photos that have no point to the photoshopping and/or processing. (if they have a point and are done cleverly, then okay!) :) this one is obviously (and deliberately) not done cleverly... does it annoy you?)
This is a horribly overprocessed photo and the background sucks, but it's some sort of about palm-of-the-hand sized siphonophore colony. Couldn't get focus on it, had to set the strobes to 'pinch' it (lighting from left and right, trying not to light background) and pre-focus on my hand, then use positioning to try and get it on the focal plane. Would love to try this sort of thing again shooting up into the blue, but at this point my dive buddy and the DM had left me far behind, so I had to play catchup. No allowance for art!
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 :)
For fun, I thought I'd overprocess one of the shots from Issaqueena that I didn't post. Except, I sort of like it...
another "trial" HDR (with the photomatix water mark as I'm still using the trial version and deciding whether to purchase it)
This is amazing technology - the sum of the parts (3 photos) is much better than any of them individually.
Update: After fooling around with a few more HDR trials I bought the s/w - it's wonderful and I'm hooked on HDR (but not that overprocessed surreal stuff that over-jealous technologists generat....)
I love the mission architecture - bricks, plaster, wooden beams, arches and of course, the beautiful lush gardens.
I took this last night. A 4 second exposure for the light trails. I'm glad I could get the bike in the foreground.
I admit I overprocessed it. Lots of stuff done to this and in the end I just was lazy to stop editing and re-edit this.
