Hey team how are we all doing?
It be throwback Thursday today and I've finally finished processing a photo taken 2 weeks ago from my trip to Sydney and the Blue Mountains.
Renown for its unique architecture this crazy critter being the Sydney Opera House continues to fascinate and inspire architects all around the world, or so I'm led to believe. This photo was shot from the Milson's Point side with a 70-300mm telephoto lens on a dodgy tripod.
The processing was done like this; firstly the photo was taken into Lightroom where the massively blinding highlights and whites were dulled down. The shadows were raised up a tad too as some parts of the photo were too dark. Then I played around with the colours using the HSL panel until I got the feel that I liked. I aimed to contrast the bluish sky with the orangey/yellow lights inside the building. I cropped the image and fixed up the horizon to make it straight. I then brought the photo into Photoshop and did some noise reduction using Imagenomic's Noiseware Professional software. Finally I cleaned off the image by using a combination of the clone stamp tool, spot healing brush and the brush tool. The most challenging part of this process was to get the image right in camera with the nasty gale forced winds of that night.
Hope you enjoy this one, and as always feel free to use this image in your videos, your website, you blog, print it out, remix it or do whatever you wish with it as per the CC licence.
All the best my people, don't stop shooting.
I could not hold myself back to get my gear out, despite the presence of the moon. I can only imagine, how this image would look like without any lightpollution from the moon.
The first images looked quite interesting with the small nebula. After stacking, there is quite some faint stuff around it, that slowly starts to show.

It is so dark at night that even a few minutes exposure (16mm f2.8) doesn't give a just so-so foreground shot. Luckily, I took a similar shot at the same place during the blue hour. The milky way was shot at 16mm f2.8 30sec ISO6400. I took seven consecutive shots to reduce noise in post-processing. A free software Sequator (for PC) is highly recommended to get the job done. I learned this software from "Milky Way Mike" on Youtube.

Art Week Gallery Group - This Week: REPETITION AND RHYTHM
Brasília, Brasil
In July-August 1958, I was a participant in a Youth Exchange visit to Rendsburg in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.
Our group enjoyed a day trip to Hamburg which included: a boat trip around the busy docks and a coach tour to the zoo and airport.
Of these I found the dock visit to be the most impressive and awe inspiring, specially as we came up close to these rows of 'towering giants' moored in the numerous channels.
From the boat we could see bombed 'U-Boat' pens amidst other war-time marine wreckage still awaiting removal.
Our dock visit also included walking through the St. Pauli Elb Tunnel.
MS Munchen IMO 5243607 was a brand new freighter in 1958, having just been built by A.G. Weser of Bremen for the Hamburg-Amerika Linie.

Some software experts posed with me for a group portrait a couple months ago.
Top (L to R) is Christina, Lisa, Kandi, Cristy, and Jane.
Lower (L to R) is me and Jenna.
The concept was to publicly display some favorite software: real or faux.
I, for one, was initially surprised at the number of software experts in my collection of friends. In retrospect - maybe that should not be surprising.
After all, arguing with any one of us expert women is like reading a software license agreement...
...in the end, you ignore it all and click "I agree".
Resistance is futile.
Enjoy

Herbe de la pampa
L'adjectif spécifique selloana lui a été donné en 1818 par le naturaliste Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859), en hommage au botaniste et naturaliste allemand Friedrich Sellow qui étudia la flore d'Amérique du Sud, en particulier celle du Brésil.
Cortaderia selloana, commonly known as pampas-grass,
is a flowering plant native to southern South America, including the pampas after which it is named.
Der Begriff "Ziergras" stammt nicht aus der Botanik.
hier: Pampasgras aka Cortaderia Selloana
... after the German botanist and naturalist Friedrich Sellow.
...
The feathery flower head plumes, when dried, are widely used in flower arrangements and other ornamental displays.
Das Amerikanische Pampasgras (Cortaderia selloana) oder Silber-Pampasgras
ist eine Pflanzenart aus der Familie der Süßgräser (Poaceae).
Das Schneiden der meisten Ziergräser sollte im Frühjahr vorgenommen werden und nicht im Herbst, weil ansonsten Wasser in die Halme gelangen und zu Fäulnis führen kann. Das spätere Zurückschneiden im Frühjahr schützt die Pflanzen außerdem vor Kälte und hilft ihnen zu überwintern.
Wegen der auffallenden Farben und imposanten Wuchs-Formen ihrer Blätter, Blüten oder Halme auch im Herbst und Winter sind Ziergräser (englisch: ornamental grass) ein beliebtes Gestaltungselement in der Gartenkunst und künstlerischen Gartengestaltung.
Ziergras-Arten eignen sich als Solitär-Pflanzen, als Sichtschutz für den Stauden- und Steingarten oder auch zur Verbindung verschiedener Pflanzenarten wie Blumen und Sträucher.
Auch als Kübelpflanzen für den Balkon, die Terrasse oder den Wintergarten sind Ziergräser beliebt.

Affinity by Canva: First Impressions
Credit: Giuseppe Donatiello
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?

NASA image release Oct. 6, 2011
This is an image of the star HR 8799 taken by Hubble's Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS) in 1998. A mask within the camera (coronagraph) blocks most of the light from the star. In addition, software has been used to digitally subtract more starlight. Nevertheless, scattered light from HR 8799 dominates the image, obscuring the faint planets.
Object Name: HR 8799

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.

Here I tried two different angels: 15mm and 24mm. The result could be interessting for someone.
For this image, I used the simulated analog film "Ilford HPS 800" with software DxO FilmPack 6.

3x2 project.
That is, three targets for two astrophotographers (or self-styled so), myself and Alessandro Bucci.
Second target of the joint project, in fact the main subject, what pushed us to "join forces" for this project was the reflection nebula M78, in Orion. Beautiful subject, yet difficult if not taken from sufficiently dark skies, which requires a lot of care even in the processing phase. It took me about a week of attempts and "pauses for reflection" before reaching the result below, which seems to me quite satisfactory overall.
Unfortunately we were unable to dedicate the two entire evenings to shooting, due to the atmospheric problems I mentioned in the previous post, but 13 hours of shooting still proved to be enough to finally obtain a good photo on this target which I had never shot in optimal conditions.
Hope you like it as well!

Progetto 3x2.
Ovvero, tre target x due astrofotografi (o sedicenti tali), il sottoscritto ed Alessandro Bucci.
Secondo obiettivo del progetto congiunto, nonché il soggetto principale, quello che ci ha spinto ad "unire le forze" per questo progetto era la nebulosa a riflessione M78, nella costellazione di Orione. Soggetto bellissimo, quanto ostico se non ripreso da cieli sufficientemente bui, che richiede molte accortezze anche in fase di elaborazione. Ho impiegato circa una settimana tra tentativi e "pause di riflessione" prima di giungere al risultato qui sotto, che mi sembra abbastanza soddisfacente, nel complesso.
Purtroppo non siamo riusciti a dedicare le due intere serate alle riprese, per i problemi atmosferici di cui accennavo nel precedente post, ma 13 ore di riprese si sono rivelate comunque abbastanza per ottenere finalmente una buona foto su questo target che non avevo mai ripreso in condizioni degne.
Spero piaccia anche a voi!
