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.

Here's some old and new things I want to say for selfish marketing purposes:
1. *UPDATE* I have another new notebook on sale now: Click here to see! This one is a large grid notebook with two images taken from the National Gallery of Art. 3 notebooks in total and more designs to come!
2. Subscribe to my Mailing List if you would like to get updates about random stuff.
3. If you've been a fan of my nonsensical view of the world and want to support me but tight on money, if you could leave a testimonial on my website that would help me so much. With enough eye witness reports, it just might give enough evidence for the State to finally put me in the psychiatric ward.
4. I'm also selling fridge magnets of ANY image from my flickr or instagram accounts. Just copy and paste the URL link of the photo you want magnetized at the checkout. If you want a random image, just type 'random'

"The Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal is an approximately 23 ha (57 acres) major transportation facility in Delta, British Columbia. It is located at the southwestern end of an approximately 3 km (2 mi) man-made causeway that juts out into the Strait of Georgia off the mainland at Tsawwassen and is less than approximately 500 m (550 yd) from the 49th parallel , the Canada-United States border ."
Yup! That's right! I hand held this :-D I also used dodge and burn to take out some sensor dusties! :-D So while this isn't that excellent of a photo, it's been excellent to learn on :-D
This is an other picture of our new campaign for next summer.
I took it last week at the upper terrace which is on the top of our office in Varanasi (Benaras).

With a Thypoch Eureka 50mm f2. Taken on crop sensor mode.
This large file for zooming-in gives you a good indication of how sharp the lens is wider open. It's an impressive performer.
I've posted a YouTube video on the lens - a copy of the British made Taylor-Hobson 2 inch f2:

I first shot the Pinwheel Galaxy last year using my One-Shot-Color Camera. I wanted to try it again and see what I could get using a mono camera and L,R,G,B & Ha filters with a longer set of exposures.
So I recently imaged this target over the span of 5 nights, starting on May13. I collected the normal LRGB filter data and I also collected some narrowband images through my Hydrogen-Alpha Filter. The equipment is pretty automated now so I could get things running and then try to sleep on the sofa - still keeping a general eye on things during the night.
At the same time I was capturing this image, I was also capturing the data for the M63 image I shared in the past few days. So I have not had a chance to go through the data set for this image until yesterday. I really had high hopes for this image - but what you don't always get what you hope for! I considered not even posting this image - but this is a journey and like any other trip - you have good days and you have bad days. I decided to show he bad with the good.
As part of the normal processing of astro image, you take the time to look over all of the image data with software that acts like a blink comparator. Each image should look pretty much the same as others in a sequence, unless a plane goes through the frame or a wondering cloud comes through, or something else goes wrong. The first thing I found was that I had many thin wandering clouds messing up a substantial number of frames that I had collected. These had to be culled. I lost over 5 hours of data and most of my Ha filter data due to this! Ouch.
Then I processed the data - doing calibrations and alignments and stacking operations. This takes hours and hours for my 12 core/24 thread Ryzen CPU to work through - at the end you can't wait to look at the resulting image masters! Then you can see what you actually got. And when I looked I found something called "Pattern Noise". You never want to see this - but - oh yes - I had it in this image. It looks like diagonal smears of rainbow colors….and this is VERY Hard to fix after the fact. What causes this? The most common causes are flexure of the telescope mount (something loosen up?) or Failure to dither exposures. Dithering is a process were the scope change its position slightly for every exposure. This moves the image around on the sensor a tiny bit and the stacking software lines everything back up in the end. This eliminates many sources of noise including pattern noise. It is possible that something in the setup failed during this exercise - thus causing the problem? I'm still not sure what happened here.
So now I have image artifacts and a LOT less data that I planned. OKAY…
Long story, short…. I used every processing trick in the book to salvage the data and the result is attached to this posting. It's….. OK - but to me it’s a disappointing failure. At best it is a lackluster example of the Art (unlike my last image - that one came out *great*). Some have said that still came out alright, but all I see are the problems…
But here it is for your perusal. …..
A little about M101- from Wikipedia:
The Pinwheel Galaxy (also known as Messier 101, M101 or NGC 5457) is a face-on spiral galaxy 21 million light-years (6.4 megaparsecs)[3] away from Earth in the constellation Ursa Major. It was discovered by Pierre Méchain in 1781[a] and was communicated that year to Charles Messier, who verified its position for inclusion in the Messier Catalogue as one of its final entries.
On February 28, 2006, NASA and the European Space Agency released a very detailed image of the Pinwheel Galaxy, which was the largest and most-detailed image of a galaxy by Hubble Space Telescope at the time.[8] The image was composed of 51 individual exposures, plus some extra ground-based photos.
On August 24, 2011, a Type Ia supernova, SN 2011fe, was discovered in M101[9].
Thanks for looking!

Rising Sun Refection on Juvenile Bald Eagle: I was at the edge of Lake Winnipeg at sunrise, where I saw Bald Eagles flying the day before. The sun was 1/2 over the horizon...the sun was to my back. A juvenile bald eagle did a fly by (they have brown and white feathers - not the white head and black feathers of the adult). Looked at the images when I got home, and discovered this image, the reflection of the orange rising sun reflecting off of feathers of the eagle. The sensor picked it up, I did not see this through the view finder. Every now and then you get lucky.
La foto con sensor desnudo se parece al efecto "orange-teal", si nuestro ojo fuera igual que un sensor de cámara de fotos, veríamos el entorno así.
With really warm temperatures, our workshop students' cameras were running a little hotter than normal. No, their cameras were not exploding but I did have a little fun with it in this single exposure image captured in Arches National Park.
How I Got The Shot
This is a 20 second single exposure image where I shot for about 15 seconds with the camera locked on the tripod before releasing the camera for the final 5 seconds. During this last 5 seconds, I moved the camera free-hand using the lighted LCD screens to make the smoke.

AGFA first used this mechanical support of the trigger force with the red trigger on the Optima 200 sensor from 1968. The purpose was to avoid camera shake by using a lower trigger force. This red trigger then became the trademark of all AGFA cameras. In fact, people even tried to transfer this symbol into the digital age.
Here I show a few late specimens, some of which were produced in Japan.

AGFA setzte diese Mechanische Unterstützung der Auslösekraft mit dem Roten Auslöser erstmals bei der Optima 200 Sensor von 1968 ein. Der Sinn war durch eine geringere Auslösekraft Verwackelungs-Unschärfe zu vermeiden. Dieser Rote Auslöser wurde daraufhin das Markenzeichen aller AGFA Kameras. Tatsächlich versuchte man dieses Symbol sogar in das Digital Zeitalter zu übertragen.
Hier zeige ich ein paar späte Exemplare deren Produktion teilweise schon aus Japan kam.
this is a result of my faulty card reader... a happy accident since I was able to re-import without the digital damage.

I shot in DX mode which crops away the extra pixels and takes me 1.5X closer while allowing for up to 7 FPS with the Nikon D810's Nikon MB-D12 Battery Grip using the 8 AA battery option! 8 Duracells took me through around 3,000 shots no problem--maybe more! I was shooting at the equivalent of 900mm with the 1.5x crop factor! Pretty close! Had I gone with the Nikon D4s, I would have gotten 12 fps, but no DX crop factor, as the sensor has only around 24mp, compared to the d810's 36 megapixels! Sure the larger pixel size on the Nikon D4s full frame sensor comes in handy indoors or at night, but in the bright sun, there's more than enough light for the smaller pixels in crop mode! Sure we lose some pixels from the outer edges when shooting in DX crop mode, but most of those pixels would be cropped away in Lightroom anyway. And the smaller files make the memory cards last longer, while also upping the FPS to 7 shots per second! Not quite 12 FPS, but still awesome and enough I felt!
What a beautiful way to test the Nikon D810 and Tamron 150-600mm zoom lens for sports photography!

View your artistic mission into photography as an epic odyssey of heroic poetry! Take it from Homer in Homer's Odyssey: "Tell me, O muse, of that ingenious hero who travelled far and wide after he had sacked the famous town of Troy. Many cities did he visit, and many were the nations with whose manners and customs he was acquainted; moreover he suffered much by sea while trying to save his own life and bring his men safely home; but do what he might he could not save his men, for they perished through their own sheer folly in eating the cattle of the Sun-god Hyperion; so the god prevented them from ever reaching home. Tell me, too, about all these things, O daughter of Jove, from whatsoever source you may know them. " --Samuel Butler Translation of Homer's Odyssey
All the best on your Epic Hero's Odyssey from Johnny Ranger McCoy!
I thought the hasselblad photo yesterday lacked any impact so set to work today to try to create a better photo.. I started with the little Lumix LX100.. to come.. and this was taken with my Leica M8.
I feel the Leica M8 did a much better job of capturing what I was hoping for. Guessing the 21mm lens field of view took a few attempts though! :) ..and crazy colour cast from the camera sensor/ lens combo (no IR filter)

This is what has been distracting me from my photography since getting back from Budapest. I enjoyed riding the retro single gear bikes so much in Budapest when I got home I dug out my Cinelli Black Rats Mystic from the garage and set to work to pimp my ride!
Amongst hours and hours of research I stumbled across the UK based wheel specialist, Drew at Spinonthese.com. He made me a custom hand built wheel set to meet my requests. They are more than just pretty wheels, they are quite unusual - 28mm wide deep carbon rims that allow tyres to be ran at a much lower pressure giving a far better ride/ handling for when i'm racing around. The exact model I went for were "DM8 Superleggero Series SL-FiftyEight Super Fast Boys" track wheels.
If you appreciate bikes as much as cameras I would highly recommend you check him out!
