This image is comprised of Ha and OIII band data, and for the first time I have a target where the OIII signal is far stronger than the Ha signal. In my rendering of this image that I posted a week ago, I could barely, if at all, see any evidence of the Ha in the image.
I altered my PixInsight workflow three ways to improve the original image and obtain this result. Before mapping the Ha and OIII to the RGB channels, I applied LinearFit to increase the intensity of the Ha data to match the OIII. After mapping Ha and OIII to the RGB channels, I applied SPCC, this time with Ideal QE Curve selected, and using Photon Flux for the Whte Reference. And lastly, I selected OIII as luminance when I mixed the colors in NarrowbandNormalization.
As a result of the alternate processing, I can see Ha depicted as a goldish color in the outlying wispy areas, and within the target object.

Playing around with Tierazon fractal software. Such a fun and easy software tool. Creating fractals is really addictive !
Heute hat er drei Mal erfolgreich kleine Fischlein gefangen, totgeschüttelt und geschluckt.
Solange der knietiefe Teich offen ist - mit sehr hohem Besatz kleiner Fische, wird er den Winter hier gut überstehen.
Wenn der Teich zufriert ... mal sehen, was ich übers Gartenamt erreiche, die sind immer offen. Wäre ja kein Problem, mal eben am Ufer bei seinen Ansitzplätzen ein paar Löcher ins Eis zu hauen. oder???
Die Enten sorgen dann mit ihrem Kreisschwimmen für weitere eisfreie Flächen.

This image shows the upper, rotating part of a small, Christmas ornament. Below this there is a tea-light candle, the hot air of which forces the wind-turbine to rotate. Suspended from every other blade of the turbine is a small star-shaped piece of metal. The whole assembly is 75 mm x 75 mm.
The only source of illumination was the single tea-light candle beneath the assembly shown here; this resulted in a 80 second exposure.
Converted to mono in Silver Efex Pro and then split toning applied in Lightroom.
HMM to everyone and many thanks to everyone who views, faves and comments on this image and the others in my photostream.
Amazing sunrise at the Canyonlands National Park, Utah. Mesa Arch glows as the sun rises in the morning. Amazing view and experience.

So this is a setup shot taken to show what I did to take the previous, "One Word" shot.
This was a real world, practical setup to create the shot. No heavy-handed "Photoshop" work was done to create the image of the planet and word inside the drop of water.
To do this you need to set a lot up before you take the shot. Three things need to be lined up for a successful shot.
1) The subject and camera need to be lined up so you can see the drop of water on the end of the blade of grass in this case. Distance for the magnification and height to just see the thing.
2) Then I bring in the background/refraction subject. That needs to be lit harshly, yet no spill over light onto the drop of water. I use a focusable hand held flashlight. The angle of this light is very important.
But the distance of the background is something that you need to figure out by moving it up/down, left/right and forward and back. Each direction makes a small change in the refracted image inside the drop of water.
The background can be anything you want it to be. For the image I created I used a restriction free image that NASA released to the world a while ago. Its called, "The Blue Marble."
I then drew the letters for the word (a couple times actually to get the size right) and colored them in and cut them out using a razor blade from the single stick labels I made them out of. Then I stuck them onto the image.
This is a real image that was created in a practical way. Not all done in photoshop. Hell, I don't even own that software.
There are plenty of videos on YouTube covering this technique, just search Water Droplet Refraction.

Should try to post the colour version too , reflections might work better , for sure !
But anyway , I'll always be an incorrigible B&W lover !!!
I tried to treat me , but it must be congenital :)))
Here the Colour Version "Impressionisme"
not exactly the same crop . In the B&W version ,I kept the ratio 2X3 of my APS-C sensor
in fact I had not really finalized the colour version, because I always try converting B&W, that I usually prefer

This is taken from the tour bus when we went to northwestern China. It was the beginning of June and we were very lucky to see sheep migrating for the season. They were moving their way up to the mountains, and would come down to the fields sometime in Sept. Everybody on the tour bus was so excited accept the driver :) I managed to grab this shot through the windshield. Used Photoshop to clean off the reflection and finishing editing in HDRtist NX 2.
HDRtist NX 2 is a MAC software I co-develop with my husband. If you'd like to see what it looks like before I used NX 2, please click here : www.flickr.com/photos/24426865@N03/49114010197/in/datepos...
Samora, Barcelona, Spain. April 2016. Rolleiflex 3.5F, Zeiss Planar, TMY 400. The negative was photographed with a Nikon D600 and and a Nikkor 105 AF Macro at 1:1. segment photographs stitched with Jimage software and inverted with Aperture 3
I don't think it is THEE Elvis but it is Stitch so it is possible. Anyway, it keeps singing Hunk a Hunk a Burning Love and apparently those are the only words it knows because it just repeats the same lyrics over and over. Which would explain why it's a skull and not a head ... or attached to anything ... like a body ... that I hope no one finds. Just saying.
View wiggling your hips and doing your best Elvis Presley impersonation. Except you in the back. That's scary, stop it.

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.

Do you feel "betrayed" when (if) you found out a photo was an Artificial "photo"... are we getting used to being "lied" too..
I for one think we are blurring the future. Can we trust what we see? Do you accept this "new" way of looking at things?
Things are likely to become yet more complex as use of artificial intelligence by artists becomes more widespread, and as the machines get better at producing creative works, further blurring the distinction between artwork that is made by a human and that made by a computer.
here a quote by Friedrich Nietzsche
“I’m not upset that you lied to me, I’m upset that from now on I can’t believe you.”
