As we eagerly await the return of our Earth from Space programme next Friday, today the Copernicus Sentinel-3 mission shows us a rare, cloud-free view of Iceland captured on 14 August 2020.
The large, white area visible on the island is a national park that encompasses the Vatnajökull Glacier. Covering an area of around 8400 sq km with an average ice thickness of more than 900 m, Vatnajökull is not only classified as the biggest glacier in Iceland, but the biggest in Europe.
The white, circular patch in the centre of the country is Hofsjökull, the country’s third largest glacier and its largest active volcano. The elongated white area west of Hofsjökull is Langjökull, Iceland’s second largest ice cap.
ReykjavÃk, the capital and largest city of Iceland, is located on the Seltjarnarnes Peninsula, in southwest Iceland. In the top-left of the image, several sea ice swirls can be seen off the coast of Greenland.
Sentinel-3 is a two-satellite mission to supply the coverage and data delivery needed for Europe’s Copernicus environmental monitoring programme. Each satellite’s instrument package includes an optical sensor to monitor changes in the colour of Earth’s surfaces.

This double-exposure 35 mm film photograph captures a dreamy overlap between a dusky city scene and a soft field of daisy-like blooms, where faint streetlights turn into orbs of golden bokeh against a cool blue evening tone. Shot with an SMC Pentax 50 mm lens on Kodak Gold 200, the film handles the low-light layering gracefully, its warm color bias and gentle grain create a painterly glow without losing the film’s nostalgic softness. The highlights from the city lights bloom delicately into the floral silhouettes, producing a balance between warmth and cool dusk tones that digital sensors often miss. The result feels like a fleeting memory suspended between day and night, natural and urban, sharp and blurred.

You may have noticed i've not used my Leica M240 much since getting the Leica CL. I thought it was time to dust it off for a shoot. What amazed me after time away from the camera is how bad the low light ability of the M240 sensor is. It felt like the jump from the M8 to the M9 or M9 to the M240. Very noticeable! It shows how good the CL sensor is.
Low light and 1/30 motion blur gave a quite filmic looking photo to my eyes - imperfect. Fun catching up with Becca tonight after a long time.

This collection represents a sophisticated visual exploration of cinematic and analog textures, meticulously crafted to emulate the distinct characteristics of iconic film stocks and high-end digital sensors. From the warm, nostalgic glow of Kodak Gold 200 and the dreamlike imperfections of a Holga 120N to the clinical precision of the Fujifilm GFX 100 and the timeless, high-contrast soul of Leica M Monochrom.
The series traverses diverse narrative landscapes: intimate portraits bathed in golden hour light, gritty cinematic battlefields, neon-drenched urban nights, and the stark solitude of sub-zero environments. Each frame serves as a technical study in color science, grain structure, and dynamic range, blurring the lines between traditional cinematography and modern computational creativity.

Do light pollution filter improve astro imaging from moderately light polluted sites?
The theory is clear: These filters help to reduce the sky glow from warm light sources, especially sodium vapor streetlights, but they will not help much against the newer generation of LED lights. While you therefore cannot expect wonders, you should be able achieve better contrast from sites with a fair amount of older streetlights.
On the other hand, I have never done a comparison of what I can achieve with and without one of these filters. While taking my first Milky Way core shots of this season from a Bortle class 4 site, I took the chance and shot same panorama back to back, first without and then with my light pollution filter.
During post processing, I independently processed both panoramas with my normal workflow. The results show that it is possible to correct moderate light pollution during post processing to a big extent, but processing the unfiltered image was more difficult and there still is slightly better contrast in the filtered image.
In the filtered image however, the brightest stars and Jupiter on the very left have slightly more glare and if there is stray light, I have a hard time controlling reflections, as I cannot attach the lens hood with my 150mm filter holder in place.
Another drawback of any filter is that it reduces the light arriving at the sensor. With the light pollution, I lose about halve an f-stop and have to expose about 50% longer. This is not a big problem if you are tracking the sky, but might be a deal breaker if you shoot from a fixed tripod
.
So wat do you think? Are light pollution filters worth the price and hassle?

I think this game of Monopoly lasted three hours... and my amazing husband loved every minute of it.
I sometimes can't believe that I get to walk through life with this kind, strong, wise, loving man. And, even though my crop sensor Canon is bad in low light, this moment captured--however imperfectly--still fills my heart.
This may or may not be kinda badass. We've got a bunch of varmints here in Lower Alabama, and I'm curious about what skulks around in the night. This thing has 6MP resolution at its best and can be programmed to shoot one to nine shots every time the IR motion sensor is tripped. It also can do video. The flash is supposed to reach out to 50 feet, and from testing in the living room, it's bright as hell.
Too bad it doesn't shoot RAW....
I'm too tired and lazy to strap it to a tree today, but tomorrow we'll see what happens.
Agfa Optima Sensor is a very simple scale camera, but showed good enough results, which even surprised me. I took the photo with a new film of the Yashica Golden 80s. The film also made me happy!
Rig shots are always fun to edit, right? Ahaha, only if you have an addiction to cloning!
I was browsing through a photo set earlier and noticed this one. Apparently, my lens got tremendously dirty and wet from the rain. I specifically remember looking down and thinking, "Damn, that can't be good!" and cleaning my lens immediately.
While sensor dust has always been a problem, I think this effect was a bit interesting, so I kept it. Interesting in that, "Oh-god-I-don't-ever-want-to-clone-again" sort of way.

Here's a self-portrait from inside the Waenhuiskrans cave near Arniston.
Most of us who studied science at school will have learned that the smallest possible measure of light is known as a "photon". Although our camera sensors capture these photons fairly accurately, they're not always able to capture things exactly as our eyes can see them.
Let's imagine that each pixel in our sensor is represented by a bucket outside in the rain. If no drops manage to reach a particular bucket, then that pixel will be pure black. But if the bucket receives so many drops that it overflows, then that pixel would be pure white. As photographers, we're aiming to catch at least a few drops in every bucket, but not so much that they'll overflow.
Most of us who are passionate about photography will know that a "stop" is the measure of how much light is in a photograph. A one-stop increase means that the amount of light doubles, and similarly, a one-stop decrease means the amount of light is halved. The difference in "stops" between the brightest objects and the darkest objects in our photos is known as "dynamic range".
There are a huge number of stops between the darkest and brightest objects in the real world, many more than what our eyes can see (and our camera sensors are able to capture). Distant stars emit only a few photons per second, while the sun blasts out about 10^17 photons per second. That's about 57 stops!. Human eyes can only see between 10 and 14 stops of dynamic range at any moment, and approximately 24 stops when we have the time to adjust our eyes. Most DSLR sensors however, are still way below that, so sometimes we do need to capture multiple differently exposed images and blend them together afterwards.
This is one of those photos. :)

We went over to the zoo today to check out the newly opened Southern White Rhino exhibit & enclosure. We also managed to see some very cool experiences with the zoo keepers and some of the wild animals. We left 15 minutes before closing. We will definitely be back at a different time to hopefully see other animals.

Ok, VS/joking aside, the D7000 is certainly one of the best, if not, the best high ISO performance crop sensor camera in the market at the moment! This photo was taken @ ISO1600, no flash, noise reduction using Nikon's CaptureNX2 when processing from RAW, then apply another noise reduction one more time using Photoshop Element 8 before resizing & a slight amount of unsharp mask for web use.
I took a few photos back in Halloween @ ISO3200/6400, they are still perfectly fine for web usage, may be even for small prints too! (yeah, those are even more impressive give it's high ISO, I could post up some sample if you are interested)
Honestly, I don't think one could get much better than what the D7000 would offer @ high ISO unless you jump into the full frame world.

Here is a shot from December 2. It was one of the craziest burns I've seen over San Francisco. There were so many colors and stages to this sunrise that I thought my sensor might have been fried from the overload.
Wishing everyone a Happy New Year, and looking forward to shooting in 2016!
Thanks for looking!
A very popular camera by Agfa from the late 70s and a little marvel of industrial design. The "Optima Sensor" name had been used by Agfa for a series of simple electronic consumer cameras since the late 60s denoting the presence of a big, red, feather-touch shutter button (sensor) that adorned the top of the camera and was considered very hi-tech at the time.
This last series of the Agfa Optimas were marketed during the late 70s and production continued well into the 80's being hugely successful in the european market. At least 5 different models exist, including a rangefinder (Agfa Optima 1535) and one equipped with an electronic flash, aptly named "Agfa Optima Flash". The best online source of information regarding these cameras can be found here:
www.edition-oldenburg.de/agfa_optima.html
The Optima 1035 pictured here sits second from the top of the line-up feature-wise. It is a zone-focus camera with a fully automatic exposure system based on the Agfa Paratronic electronic shutter. Despite its introduction at a time when plastic was already being used extensively in camera manufacture, the littke Agfa is mostly made of metal with a very durable black coating. Some parts are made of plastic (like the film advance lever or the focusing ring) but the overall feel is that of a solid, durable camera.
The most prominent feature of the camera is the HUGE and extremely bright viewfinder which is a small revelation for first-time users. It is very close in size and brightness to the viewfinders found in premium rangefinders and makes using the camera a real joy. In the 1035 the VF features three distance symbols and a red needle that moves between them according to the chosen focus distance, the minimum being 0.9m. The frame line is illuminated and there are parallax correction marks for close subjects.
Another unique feature of the Optima is the lack of a rewind crank. With the help of (rather flimsy) toggle switch on the top plate, the film advance lever doubles as a rewind crank, a clever design that made the installation of such a bright finder on such a small camera possible.
Upon opening the film door, another clever feature makes its apperance: When loading the camera, the film is passed under a small shield on the winding side which protects film that has already been exposed from accidental opening of the film door.
The lens is a fast f2.8, 40mm four-element Solitar-S ("S" denoting multi-coating) which is quite sharp under good lighting conditions with good contrast and resistance to flare.
Shutter speeds go up to 1/1000s and in low light the Paratronic can stay open for at least one full second. The high top shutter speed combined with the minimum diaphragm opening of f22 ensure proper exposure of fast film even under the brightest conditions. The shutter is completely battery-dependent, it doesn't open at all if batteries are not installed. The feather-touch shutter release ensures minimum shake when taking the shot, reducing the chance of a blurry shot in relatively slow speeds.
Agfa engineers were clever enough to put the CdS cells of the metering system at the six o'clock position of the lens beauty ring, a fact that prevents shadowing of the sensors when a lens hood is used.
Not everything is good on the little Agfa though. For starters, the ASA setting stops at 400 which can be quite limiting if one wants to push fast film. Also, there is no backlight compensation provision, one has to change the ASA setting to deal with backlit subjects.
Additionally (and most annoyingly) the shutter produces an awful screeching sound when fired, probably the worst-sounding shutter I've ever come across, regardless of camera type.
Another ill-conceived feature of the camera (perhaps imposed by the necessity for small size) is the fact that the battery department is accessible only after opening the film door, so in case the batteries die mid-roll, the film must be rewound in order to change them. To make things worse, there doesn't seeem to be any means of knowing if the batteries are weak. The camera uses an uncommon arrangement of three 625 button cells, but at least its exposure system is designed for the common alkaline ones, not the obsolete mercury cells.
For some reason, Agfa deemed it necessary to equip the camera with a red LED lamp that sits above the lens barrel and lights up momentarily every time the shutter is fired, letting everyone know that you've taken their picture. It also blinks during countdown when the (mechanical) self-timer is activated.
As you can see from the picture, the Optima has no strap lugs, as Agfa chose to equip the camera with a proprietary screw-on neck strap that attaches on the left side, a solution that is a complete failure in my opinion. First of all, if you lose the strap there is no way you can replace it with a generic one. Also, the choice of a long neck strap is very poor for such a small, light camera which would benefit most from a short wrist strap, although a pair of scissors and a couple of rivets can easily remedy that. On top of that, placing the wrist strap on the left side is totally counterintuitive, as it virtually precludes secure single-handed operation of the camera with the right hand. According to the manual, the port for the screw-on strap doubles as the tripod mount, although this obviously implies that the camera can be used only in vertical orientation when on a tripod.
Overall, the small size and all-black color, combined with an accurate, fully automatic exposure system, a good semi-wide lens and an unsurpassed viewfinder, make this little Agfa very attractive as a stealthy street shooter. Still, there are a few shortcomings that make it fall short of being the perfect "little black beauty" a title I reserve for the Olympus XA2, my "golden standard" for this particular category of cameras.
This one has a funny story. I pressed the button to close the garage gate and the gate went down halfway when something triggered the safety sensor and the gate went back up with the light blinking. I went to the gate to investigate and found this butterfly sitting on the floor. I reached my hand out slowly and the butterfly suddenly jumped onto my finger. I tried to convince her to move onto hibiscus flower but she refused. Finally, she decided to take off and sat on passiflora vine where I took this shot.
Photography is the science, art, application and practice of creating durable images by recording light or other electromagnetic radiation, either electronically by means of an image sensor, or chemically by means of a light-sensitive material such as photographic film.

Highlight Tone Priority (HTP)
All cameras have a fixed dynamic range, from shadow to highlight, that they can capture. HTP shifts some of the available dynamic range from the mid-tones to the highlights to produce smoother tones, with more detail in bright areas. This helps prevent JPEG images with overexposed highlights that can’t be recovered. HTP is also useful to RAW shooters who process their images with Canon’s DPP software.
Most third-party RAW processing software will not recognize Highlight Tone Priority (marker).
When the camera is set to HTP, the lowest available ISO will be 200. The HTP setting will be indicated by a D+ symbol in the LCD display.
Avoid using HTP in low light or when shooting subjects with heavy shadows because it may cause more noise to appear in those areas.
