My wife and I took a walk around Freedom Park in Charlotte, waiting for our restaurant to open. It was lovely and brought back memories of hanging out there in the early 1970s, with long hair and guitars.
Shot with Panasonic GH3 and edited on the iPad. I used the following apps: Snapseed > Stackables > Superimpose > Pixelmator
I have been exploring the Mandala function in Pixelmator 3.1. The base image for these trials was the Lilly of the Ice image posted earlier.
The Mandala and Kaleidoscope feature of Pixelmator are fascinating. After cropping the image, I did not like the blue [sky] background of the images. All of them had a strong vignette I could not get rid off.
So I applied the Tiffen Hicon2 and the NCR9 Rosey Hi-Light filter to some before sharpening them some more.
I'm sure I'll try them again with a different and better focused image sometime.
And no, I don't see anything spiritual in them, they are just plain fun to generate and look at.
Maybe an apt title for this is:
"No Dogs Allowed. Comets Every 80,000 Years"
This was a second (and last) attempt to capture the C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan–ATLAS over Lake Huron.
I posted a first attempt where I used my 55-250 zoom and realized I didn't need to zoom much at all. On this attempt, I used my nifty fifty and was able to frame a shot.
I also used Starry Landscape Stacker to get a little more presence out of the comet but, to be honest, the individual shots were pretty good on their own. I ended up stacking 20 shots where the comet was in the upper right of the frame.
I shot this at:
50mm
f2.2
3.2s
ISO 1600
I tried to get a foreground object and had a nice shot of this post and some grass leading to lake before realizing that I had framed a shot that likely would not get the comet when it became visible. I needed to change my composition and dealt with a foreground that was not to my exact choosing.
I did mask a clearer shot of the sign in but just a little. I left the grasses out of focus and most of the post as well.
He just left his home... in ruins. But why? He is part of an elite organization called the Sonos 5. There are five members of this group. Pyrô, Bøss, Spééd, Måverick, and Night Füry. This is Pyrô. He burns things, preferably in the night. He has just left his homeland, Qürix, in flames. You might be wondering why he has a shotgun... Well, let's just say he's nicknamed it the Dragon's Breath.
This is the beginning of a series I started. Continue the series!

If you fav, I would appreciate it if you would comment as well.
Variation on the theme of street photography. En travaillant sur cette photo qui est composée de plusieurs photos je suis arrivé à une gamme de couleurs qui m’a fait penser à Toulouse Lautrec.
Just before the natural lighting begins to show the pre-dawn blue and orange colors, the reflections on the lake from the lights of the new development of "Kingston Foreshore" are a delight. On this morning, the small ripples from the faintest of breezes helped to extend the length of the light trails on the water surface. The bright light in the sky on the left edge of the image is the planet Venus. There are many fainter stars visible if you look closely!
I captured this image using the NightCap Pro iOS app on my iPhone 6s Plus. It is a source of amazement how much detail a simple mobile phone camera can pull out of the near-darkness. A long exposure time of around 60 seconds gave the water and the reflections a very smooth and soft texture that I thought was a good way to go with the photograph. It also served to reduce the level of random, high ISO "speckle" noise (i.e., I was using an ISO of 2000) that would be present in the individual frames that this app uses to stack together to produce the final image.

iPhone 6s Plus - Photograph taken with the back-facing camera on an iPhone 6s Plus.
NightCap Pro - An image with 4032 x 3024 pixels was captured using the Long Exposure mode and an averaging time of around 60 seconds. The app stacks multiple images that were captured in this instance with ISO 2000, an exposure time of 1/3 second, and a fixed aperture of f2.2.
Handy Photo - Used the Retouch tool to remove some lens internal reflection artifacts.
PixelMator - Altered the white balance and then applied overall lighting adjustments.
Snapseed - Applied some of the "People" HDR filter.
Handy Photo - Used the gradient lighting option to darken the upper part of the image.
Snapseed - Added some circular dark vignette to the image.
ExifEditor - Transferred the EXIF data from the original photograph to the final image.
Edited using Pixelmator Pro
