This photo was my first attempt to process a Nikon (NEF) RAW file with Nikon software (Capture NX-D) before applying noise reduction in Topaz Denoise as a 16-bit TIFF file. Unfortunately, Topaz Denoise does not recognise edits made to Nikon RAW files, hence the necessity to save as a TIFF file. Further tweaks were then made in PS and Lr.
Macro Mondays-
We all went a little crazy during the Pandemic. I got sucked in to a start-up electric car company from a targeted Instagram ad (actually why I left Instagram). Put a large deposit down and all of the early adopters got numbered L.E. vehicle assignments (1-5000) and two L.E. keychains. Well of course the company went bust; though not before I had dumped my stock holdings and cancelled my order! The Fisker Ocean One L.E. sold for around $73,000. After the bankruptcy, they were selling for at best $22,000! Somewhere around 3000 people got stuck with cars of little resale value and incomplete software, windows that wouldn't open, brakes that didn't always engage, and keys that didn't work. Thankfully I dodged the bullet and my keychain is empty😂

The Skull Rock Nature Loop passes through a maze of spectacular rock formations and luxuriant washes. Rock in this area began as liquid molten deep below the earth's surface. Continuously heated by movements in the Earth's crust, this molten oozed upward and cooled while still below the surface. Subsequent surface layer erosion exposed the rock, a form of granite called Monzogranite.
This nature loop offers excellent views of the east valley of Pinto Basin and sport some diverse vegetation and wildlife provided by the many standing pools of water in the recesses of the rock formations.

This is a 6 exposure merge processed in Aurora HDR software. It was then buffed and polished in Photoshop.
My local farmers field with a tree in the middle has views of Manchester City Centre in the distance.
Something a little different from me (processing wise).
Thoughts, critiques and criticisms are welcome.

This was imaged in the west until it passed behind a tree, west is not the best direction from my location. This was taken back at the beginning of September but it’s taken until now to get the enthusiasm up to process it as I’ve imaged and processed this on 3 other occasions but this is the first time with this camera.
Object Description:-
M27 the Dumbbell Nebula is a Planetary Nebula and lies in the constellations of Vulpecula. Its distance is about 1,360 ly with a visible magnitude of 7.5 and a diameter of 6 arcmin so it quit a small but bright object and is easily seen in a small telescope. It is believed that this star went nova about 14,600 years ago.
Note:-
As there is a lot of detail to be had in the Oiii (like most planetary Nebula and Super Nova remnants) I combined it with the Ha to create the luminance Layer.

Something different, first a B/W pic, second a Pano and a conversion in Nik Software. I wanted to try this for ones.
Eens iets anders, ten eerste een Z/W, ten tweede een omzetting met Nik Software. Gewoon omdat ik dit een keertje wilde doen.

Here's another photo from that whole software mess-up a year ago that deleted most of my Flickr library.
I took this while I was in school at the International Academy of Design and Technology in Tampa. I'm pretty sure it was taken for my Introduction to Lighting class. I got a good grade for the series, and really had a great time. It's interesting too... I learned a lot about portrait lighting from this project. :-)
The Lancaster By-Pass, now part of the M6, was one of the earliest sections of motorway to be constructed in Britain. Work began following on from the Preston By-Pass (M6) and the M1. The new 2 lane each way road was 11.5 miles long, between Hampson Green, just south of Galgate to Carnforth Level north of Lancaster, both accessed from the old A6 highway.
View taken in May 1959, on the Newlands section, now known as Blea Tarn Road, at the top of Hala Hill, Scotforth.
In the distance another TS14 is seen manoevering on the line of the new motorway next to the partly constructed Blea Tarn Road Bridge.
It is likely that these earth-scrapers are prototype Euclid TS14's, being field trialled prior to general release. The TS14 constructed by Blackwood Hodge of Northampton, was released in the UK in 1960 after completion of the Lancaster By-Pass.

This shot of a Beach Staggerwing Replica was very noise on the underside of the aircraft. Not a very good capture but a great candidate for the test.

Found some old Uni projects & class exercises while cleaning up my room. When I looked back at it, I would have failed me if I were my lecturer then! Nyihihihihii! >:)
Affinity by Canva: First Impressions

I spent half an hour learning/evaluating Affinity by Canva.
It's not an intuitive software, especially for those who aren't very experienced with editing, but it quickly makes you realize it's not one of those toy apps. Affinity is powerful, however, and includes a wealth of editing and graphics tools on par with more well-known and very expensive software.
It's not a product for astrophotography, so its value can be best demonstrated by its performance on non-ordinary images.
I limited myself to the Pixel section, i.e., photo editing, and after some testing, I ventured into processing a raw TIFF image of M42 (box 1), a subject rich in nuances, tones, and a myriad of details.
Even with the basic settings (box 2), the result is very satisfying. However, it's by exploring the advanced tools that I discover extremely useful applications for astrophotography, such as generating false-color images (box 3) and applying powerful and incredibly simple deconvolutional algorithms.
The use of deep learning in many tools is all too evident, and it's important/recommended not to get too carried away. The experienced user will know how much to use and, above all, when to stop to avoid entering the minefield of overprocessing, which is unfortunately widespread, where artifacts are considered objective details.
For software that has become free, can you expect more?

A sort of anti-Orton effect. I subtracted a multiple of the original from a 5-times blurred version, all done using software I wrote myself today. Roach End, Staffordshire.
If 5-times blurred sounds tedious - well, the program I wrote does all 5 automatically (well, as many as I want, actually), displaying each iteration sequentially and automatically and saves the result automatically, without further intervention.
Giving Nik Software HDR efex Pro 2 a test run. I'm not big into HDR, but sometimes it's just kinda necessary (in small amounts). Now that I've got an awesome tripod of awesomeness, it's time I learned to embrace it.
Also thinking it might be time to leave my beloved CNX2. I love it. I wish they would upgrade it and fix all the problems with it and maybe give us a few more features, but it's been YEARS since NX2 was released, there's been no news from nik software of any intention of upgrading it, and their newest versions of the plug-ins aren't even compatible with NX..... sigh....
Testing CS6 with the nik software plug-ins now to see if I can make it close enough to NX2 to convince myself to make the switch.

An Edwards B-1B Lancer takes off Runway 22L on April 1, 2014, to begin testing its Sustainment Block 16A software upgrades. The SB 16A software will work in conjunction with the long-range bomber’s new glass cockpit configuration in order to ensure its capabilities in a fast-paced integrated battlefield of the future.
