Gawdy Sensor Ship
Plenty of sensors on this one including those ostentatious radars, a spinny round thing and a non-spinny round thing. All a little overblown?

Great day to ride. Perfect weather. Just enough wind to keep me from being absolutely euphoric. :-)
The cadence sensor isn't working. Maybe a dead battery.

Despite their name, green tree pythons can sport a variety of colors. Adults are generally bright green with flecks of white, yellow, black, or other colors along their backs. Juveniles are almost never green, instead adopting vibrant shades of yellow and red.
Green tree pythons are one of the smallest pythons reaching only about five or six feet in length.
As a nocturnal snake, the green tree python catches its prey at night. It uses infrared heat sensors on its lips to track warm-blooded prey in the dark. The green tree python feeds on insects, other snakes, lizards, frogs, birds, bats, and occasionally small rodents.
Breeding season for the green tree pythons begins in late August and lasts until December. Eggs can be laid from November to February. Hatchlings will emerge after an incubation of anywhere from 39 to 65 days. (nationalzoo.si.edu/Animals/ReptilesAmphibians/Exhibit/Pro...)
More 300mm 2.8 goodness.
shot in June, Washington. the Olympics.
god my sensor needs a serious cleanup.

WARNING: Don't try this at home!!!
Note: No real harm was done and the sensor and camera survived the (photoshop) experiment without any scratch or (water)damage 😉 Thanks for your concerns...
Thank you very much for your time, faves and comments. It's much appreciated.
Happy Macro Mondays
Hello every one .. i am having serious problem with night shoot .. why do my night shots have noise ?!
Taken with the assistance of a Camtraptions camera trap and remote PIR sensor.
Illumination provided by Hahnel Modus 600 RT speedlights mounted on MagMod MagRings with diffusers.
I took this about a week ago.
It had started to snow and this fox showed up.
It was a long shot by my standards.
But, I like what I was seeing.
I reset the camera to use the crop sensor and took this shot.
I have started using the crop sensor and am pretty impressed with the results.
I hadn't really tried it before this.
This was a hand hold, no, tripod.
Camera Settings: f/7.1 - 1/250 - 500mm - ISO 1250

After a string of 4 clear nights in late March, it's been a long time since we have had a stretch of clear moonless nights. So no astrophotography for me…
In the meantime, I had upgraded one of my astro cameras to a new camera known as the ZWO ASI2600MM-Pro. This is a mono camera based on a new generation of larger APS-C size sensors. It offers much higher resolution, a full 16-bits of dynamic range, outstanding noise characteristics, and a much deeper well capacity (which means I can overexpose bright areas of the image - stars - much more before I saturate the sensor). This was also a bigger and heavier camera and I needed to rework my rig to balance things out. I have been eager to test this out.
Recently I had that chance. Choosing Messier 63 - the Sunflower Galaxy as my target I took over 15 hours of exposures through Luminesce, Red, Green, Blue and Hydrogen-Alpha filters over the nights of May 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th, and 17th. I thought I had clear nights but it turns out that thin clouds passed through on EVERY night - enough cloud to mess-up my exposures but not enough to shut things down. I inspected every single frame and I ended up throwing out 5 HOURS of data due to "Cloud Pollution". I got to tell you - that HURTS.
So about our Target…
I have captured M63 before and I wanted to see what difference I could make with a new camera and a bit more experience under my belt. I am very pleased with the result of my first effort with this camera. Good detail, excellent color.
Located 29.3 Million Light Years away, this is what Wikipedia has to say about M63:
Messier 63 or M63, also known as NGC 5055 or the seldom-used Sunflower Galaxy,[6] is a spiral galaxy in the northern constellation of Canes Venatici with approximately 400 billion stars.[7] M63 was first discovered by the French astronomer Pierre Méchain, then later verified by his colleague Charles Messier on June 14, 1779.[6] The galaxy became listed as object 63 in the Messier Catalogue. In the mid-19th century, Anglo-Irish astronomer Lord Rosse identified spiral structures within the galaxy, making this one of the first galaxies in which such structure was identified.[8]
The shape or morphology of this galaxy has a classification of SAbc,[5] indicating a spiral form with no central bar feature (SA) and moderate to loosely wound arms (bc). There is a general lack of large-scale continuous spiral structure in visible light, so it is considered a flocculent galaxy. However, when observed in the near infrared, a symmetric, two-arm structure is seen. Each arm wraps 150° around the galaxy and extends out to 13,000 light-years (4,000 parsecs) from the nucleus.[9]
M63 is a weakly active galaxy with a LINER nucleus – short for 'low-ionization nuclear emission-line region'. This displays as an unresolved source at the galactic nucleus that is cloaked in a diffuse emission. The latter is extended along a position angle of 110° relative to the north celestial pole, and both soft X-rays and hydrogen (H-alpha) emission can be observed coming from along nearly the same direction.[10] The existence of a super massive black hole (SMBH) at the nucleus is uncertain; if it does exist, then the mass is estimated as (8.5±1.9)×108 M☉,[11] or around 850 million times the mass of the Sun.

this was done with a motion blur effect with my camera lens..and a selected crop...my first attempt... I already LOVE this technique...lets me be creative and artistic at the same time...and you all know how much I love faces...this was actually focused on a planter on my back porch all dressed up for Autumn...facing the best light..it almost looks as if I layered it but no work was done other than minor color intensification and my signature...all you need is a lens that can zoom and you are in control of the effects and a longer than normal exposure..and a tripod ...you do not want the camera and the subject to move....much info on line to help you out..try this technique if you haven't already done so... you will grow and have fun at the same time...the great thing about this time of year is I get to focus on art expression since the gardens aren't as demanding now and the RAIN has set in...what better time to explore your photography skills...stay blessed my friends!
This is a stack of the inner side of a wing of Charaxes etesipe. It looks completely different from the outer side.
This is again a stack made with the Nikon M Plan 100/0,75 SLWD 210/0 at reduced extension. The stack is composed of 466 images.
80:1 is the magnification related to the sensor size. On the monitor you see it at approx 1100x maginfication related to its real size.
The dogs are dueling over the fence, causing the motion sensor lights to come on. Mooky and Kona need to chill. 100 Days of Darkness 8/100.
The light in the frame could be seen as all sorts of correct and otherwise. It is included here not just for the explanation below. There is one picture here in two edits with each having a crop.
Please Note – do not read the next two lines that are bracketed thusly [].
[If you would like the less serious explanation then I truly believe that my fellow Puffle-Gwuin* was accidentally releasing his Aura within range of my sensor.]
Also no need to read this footnote indicated by * and even less need to read **.
* Puffle-Gwuin this term is being used to describe Members of the Puffin Hated Society that so far has no real structure and two Members both with and wearing Puffin Hats.
**The black and white design of the Hats Puffin has been referred to as a Penguin Design and the hat does look somewhat Penguin-Like so I have made Puffle-Gwuin as combined name.

I've had at least one request for a close up of the phased sensor array at the front end of my SHIP. It is supposed to be approximately a section of sphere.
This is a telephotos view (227mm FFE) of a small part of the Swiss Alps above the tree line. It was taken hand-held at eye-level from the landing area at the top of a ski lift.
I have been meaning to post it for years. Why? Not just because it is a pretty photo. For the other reason, see below.
NB - I am forever amazed at the sharpness of hand-held telephoto shots I could make with this little old (2007) super-zoom bridge camera (Panasonic DMC-FZ7).
This camera (and similar ones) have sensors with an area about 3% (!!) of the area of a full-frame 35mm camera. That is about the same area as the sensor in a modern smart phone. Unlike smartphones, they have a single (non-interchangeable, collapsible) wide angle to super-zoom lens at a tiny price. These cameras are pocketable.
Location: Taken from the landing area at the top of the Rinderberg ski lift. Zweisimmen, Kanton Bern, Schweiz.
