Before & after post processing. This 100+ year-old dairy farm barn and concrete silo (Keetch Family) is in the middle of a small town (St. Charles) in SE Idaho that has grown around it over the decades. Although there is very little overall light pollution in this rural area, there is quite a bit of local light pollution from several surrounding home yard lights, making the barn over lit with a mixture of sodium-vapor (yellow-orange) and mercury-vapor (green) light colors. Here are the corrective steps I took:
• Darken & desaturate the barn/silo via yellow channel
• Increased sky contrast (which reveals the
latent colors in the sky)
• Enhanced the Andromeda Galaxy*
• Reduce barn & silo keystone distortion
*The barn is facing the NE sky, so the core of the Milky Way is behind me.

a lot of people ask me how did i process the milky way. okay, here is the spoiler of the magic ;)
upper left: ugly original version, ISO 1600, 14mm, 0 ev, f/2.8, 30 sec.
upper right: I enhanced the milky way by adjusting temperature, tint, exposure, brightness, black, clarity and some curve works
bottom left: adjusted the curve to get better ground view
bottom right: blended two versions together with gradient layer mask, that's it ;)
I have been playing with my non existing creative skills on this old flower photo from 2014.
Thanks to everyone who takes the time to view, comment, and fave my photo.
.... looking down on the water from a rickety wooden bridge, over a small stream. The water was flowing over a log, and the 'figures' were marching across it in constantly changing forms ....

The process of making batik is still traditional from old days and not changes until now. Still can be seen from the tools and function of the equipment are quite traditional and unique.

In the northern outskirts of Fort Lauderdale, Florida sits a Conrad Yelvington distribution facility just off the CSX/SFRTA rail corridor. This place hosts quite the eclectic assortment of power used to switch railcars around their small yard. Displayed here is half of the plant's roster: PRLX GP38-2 #5250, an ex Southern high hood purchased by the Progress Rail lease fleet in 2020, and CYDZ ALCo S4 #364, which was built for the Seaboard Air Line as their number 1488 in April 1953. Also here at the plant is another Conrad Yelvington owned ALCo endcab and a PRLX GMD-1. Probably the last thing you'd expect to see in South Florida!
