This set of three images is to show what can be done with an inexpensive point and shoot digital camera and an off-camera flash. This Samsung D53 has manual exposure and ISO settings, needed for best results with an off-camera flash.
The manual exposure on this first image was set to expose the view out the windows correctly.
See the next image in the set for the on-camera flash result.
This image was NOT created with a dark ND filter, rather by stacking multiple exposures together using the "Average" function of Markus Enzweiler's excellent program StarStaX, which can be downloaded for free here:

The preceding image was a single frame from the stack, so you can see the difference.

This was another "as-found" scene.
The nice rock has an insect leg on it's top. I wonder how that got there? A nice warm spot to sit for another insect, while it had it's noon-time meal?
Or perhaps a memento of an insect war, evidence of the field amputations that occur even on tiny battlefields.
The Persian emperor wanted to be able to safely impose his tyranny on the people of Greece. So he demanded that they surrender their arms.
Leonidas of Sparta replied in classical Greek
with the now-famous phrase:
“Molon Labe”, which means “Come Take Them”.
2,500 years later, Molon Labe still is used as a cry of defiance, against tyrants trying to disarm a people who want to be free.
Why is it that people who are supposedly speaking on behalf of victims seem to be ok allowing victimization?
Can you believe that the Brady Campaign is actually advertising that getting raped is better than shooting the perpetrator because rape is short and murder is forever? Do these people not have mothers, daughters, wives, sisters? Why do they seem to worry more about victimizing the perpetrator than the woman? Why are they connecting mass murderers to women who wish to protect themselves the best way possible?
I had my Nikon D600 in "chase the bunnies" mode, so shutter speed was at a too-fast 1/400th (100mm Tokina macro lens). So at f/16 and in the shade, Auto-ISO shot up to 22,807.
I needed to kill the noise quite a bit in Nikon's new Capture NX-D Beta (it blows!).
I had my generic TTL ringflash mounted, but was in a hurry, and didn't have time to engage the brain. Also, range to subject was enough that I would have had to boost the ISO over the base of 100 that I had the M mode in (1/200th at f/32 or so), and I get a bit flustered when difficult to approach critters finally let me in...

I'm not sure what whales has to do with gun rights...
Have a good weekend, all. Three-day weekend for some of us here in the U.S.

The difference is amazing
Washington DC, Saturday March 24, 2018. Hundreds of thousands gathered here today to protest the ever more frequent gun massacres that have sadly become one of the defining features of life in the USA over the past thirty years. The shootings have evolved into increasingly more deadly events because of the ease of obtaining semi-automatic rifles, high capacity ammo magazines and other weapons of war. Organizations like the National Rifle Associations have successfully bribed our national legislators to beat back most attempts to enact sane gun laws that would ban civilian sales of these military munitions. In the wake of the Parkland, Florida high school mass shooting a youth led movement* has become energized and is pushing back against the gun lobby status quo and, it has to be noted, against the entire immoral agenda of Trumpism and 21st Century Republicanism. President Trump spent today at his golf resort in Mar a Lago, Florida. Again.
*There has been an active black led movement against gun violence and other forms of vigilante and police violence in America for many decades but it has been ignored or unfairly reported on by corporate media and actively harassed by police wherever it appeared. The most recent example is the Black Lives Matter movement.

A 12 gauge shotgun shell found laying in the desert off the side of Worsley Road in North Palm Springs. Worsley Rd runs parallel to the I-62. We were out in the desert looking around finding numerous photo opportunities when I start to stumble (not literally) on these shotgun shells. They were all spent and quite old. As you can tell, I got down on all fours to take the shot which wasn't easy. There are small bits of cactus all over the place. I hope you like the photo. Let me know what you think.
Guns on display at anti-Islam rally in Phoenix. Protesters brought plenty of firepower to a protest against Islamic terrorism and Islam itself on October 10. Police separated them a smaller group of counter-protesters. Held in front of the Islamic Community Center, the event was part of a broader "Global Rally for Humanity," with similar protests scheduled in other cities that day.
