Happy Slider Sunday
We're into the crazy weather again.64 at night and 93 during the day.
I didn't know you could wear out a wireless mouse and keyboard until now. First I though, I must have a bug or virus, I was doing virus scrans and they I rebooted my system to factory but things just kept getting worse. So, I did the simple thing, replaced my keyboard and mouse. And now, everything works great..;)

My 512 new (since last September) photos remain unedited. My "new" PC remains a thorn in my side. Problems and issues after problems and issues. There is something just seriously not right with it. I think I was sold a lemon. Even my new 4TB HDD that I bought with it is not recognised in my HDD enclosure. The rattling and wobbling fan on the cooling loop that was supposed to be fixed is still rattling and wobbling.
I have raised another support ticket with OverclockersUK for my PC. I am on day 3 of waiting to hear back.
Software crashing just days after install on a new system. Drivers crashing just days after install on a new system. My NVIDIA graphics app locking up constantly. My Windows profile being unable to load if my external HDD is connected. Having to reboot time and time again to get my Windows profile to be found. Google Chrome locking up and crashing after an hour or so of use.
I have had many PCs over the years and have NEVER had issues like this with a brand new machine. I have never had so many issues with an old machine either!
It is just error after error and I can't trust it. My CPTSD 'inability to cope with just simple things going wrong' has been so badly triggered over each of these problems that it is making me ill. Properly ill.
I hate this computer and I have barely used it.
That is where I am at.
I am sorry that I cannot share my new work with you all yet. So sorry.
There has been quite thick fog here for several days now: an opportunity to take B&W photos. Edited with NIK software

I am investing a great part of my domestic quarantine in rummaging through my archives to unearth some forgotten, hopefully worthwhile shot to process. When this bracketing resurfaced from a stray nook of my hard disk, it struck some chords deep in my soul (most assuredly my brain was somehow performing an on-the-fly processing of those rather flattish, unassuming untouched RAW files). For a fleeting, precious moment I felt strongly the heartwarming sensation to be free to hug and cuddle again my wife, Laura, albeit at some indefinite time when Covid-19 will allow us to relish such an invaluable moment. Please do not ask me why on Earth this specific scene stirred this specific emotion inside me, so I will not be forced to admit that I have not the faintest idea. Rather, allow yourself the freedom to feel whatever emotion this scene will stir in your soul. I have got my own gift. I hope that this picture will gift you with the emotion you need most.
This picture comes from a sunrise session at the beautiful meanders of the river Adda, just a handful kilometers downstream the Eastern arm of Lake Como, dating from April 2016. That morning I arrived at the location a lot earlier than the earliest hints of dawn, so I took shooting the river by night - admittedly a whole bunch of utterly worthless bracketings, at least until proven otherwise (never say never). And I did a thing I do only in exceedingly rare occasions: I raised my sensor gain to a maddening 640 ISO. Of course, being used to shoot at a constant 100 ISO, I foolishly forgot to restore the usual setting as the light was growing and took my precious exposure bracketings at such high ISO till 8:00 AM. As a result of this sloppy attitude I had to fight a monster amount of chroma noise (I viscerally hate it)*. I found no way to get decently rid of that noise by using the rich armoury of denoising tools offered by Darktable - quite possibly because of my qualified failure to set them properly in such a demanding situation. Luckily, by mere trial and error, I got an almost decent denoising using DFine 2 and blending the denoised images with the original ones by the LCh Lightness mode (hope that my memory is not deceiving me); this, rather suprisingly, allowed me to retain most of the details while taking the greatest possible advantage of the denoising itself.
Incidentally, this picture has a closely related fellow image in my photostream, Awakenings: the same location, the same morning, just taken some 10 minutes after this one, some 20 meters downstream - ah, and one of the handful of bracketings of that session taken at 100 ISO, after I realized my mistake ;-)
* I am afraid I am being a bit unfair here, because the worthy sensor of my Nikon D5100 is quite less noisy than those of many other APS-x sensor cameras (and the in-camera management of thermal noise on long exposures is really good). The problem is, the less light you get from your subject, the more noise you get in the sensor data, the ISO gain magnifying an unfavourable signal-to-noise ratio. Of course an early, partly cloudy morning shooting session neatly falls into that sort of context.
I have obtained this picture by blending an exposure bracketing [-1.7/0/+1.7 EV] by luminosity masks in the Gimp (EXIF data, as usual, refer to the "normal exposure" shot), then I added some final touches with Nik Color Efex Pro 4 and a selective bit of Orton effect as a final garnish to get the desired ambiance. RAW files has been processed with Darktable. Denoising has been a vexing issue; I got the best results by courtesy of good old DFine 2 and the Gimp.
Forced perspective is a powerful thing, yo.

This region of space is catalogued as NGC6357, and has some interesting common names like the Lobster Nebula [and it does look a little like a lobster when you can see more of the object in one field of view], or the War and Peace Nebula [I have no clue why another would call it this?]. NGC 6357 spans about 400 light years across and lies about 8,000 light years away towards the constellation of the Scorpion.
Within this field, and towards the middle of the view, is a star forming region call Pismis 24 [zoom in, and look for the little hill, with what looks like a cave and you found the spot – the star cluster is just above here]. This is the home of serval super bright and massive stars, including Pisma 24-1, that is thought to be the most massive star on record at 300 times the size of our Sun.
This image is showing the narrowband light waves of the emission nebula, shown in what is now called the “Hubble” palette. Hope you like it.

Imaged the Heart Nebula located in the constellation Cassiopeia. This has been a lower priority target for me in the past but got bumped up once I went mono. I'm glad I was able to get a decent shot of it this year. My camera and scope combo give a good FOV on this faint target. Oiii was extremely faint, but luckily good narrowband processing techniques can mask that well.

With all the time at the hospital, I haven't had much time out and about.
However this was from a night hike in the full moon last Saturday with friends that I edited.
Yesterday I did take off two hours to hike down to the creek and watch trout.
Very relaxing.

It's been ages since my last upload... too much to do, no mojo, you know how it is. But I dusted my camera down today and spent a little time in the sun. And played with Google's Nik software (which is available for free now). I'm hoping for more days like this!
I realize this is abuse of image processing software, but what-the-heck... It started as a blurry ICM shot of a speeding freight train. I boosted color and contrast then transformed the shape with the liquify tool in Photoshop Elements. I hope it works for Sliders Sunday.
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

The Desert Has a Voice (JHWatkins) not hdr
The desert has a voice that calls
In dry, dirt dreams-
Warm, wind-washed wonders
In wingless, soulless flight.
Cold, moonlit masquerades
Through long level years,
Crying out with countless cares on deafened ears-
Drowned in measured, motor-muffled madness,
And child-chattered, purposeless flight.
Quietly, calmly calling-
Darkened, deepening desert-
Star-filled with stumbling stalkers
And wounded warriors in fevered nights.
Dreams-peaceful, persistent, dreams-
As wheeled sky turns
Eternal turning, evening eyes-
And thoughts of morning colored light.
Millennial seas-
Doomed and dusty years-
Row upon heaping row of years-
Tears-
Caked, covered
And desolate.
The desert has a voice-
That calls and halts
And peers with perfect perspective-
Stopping us in our way.
“I have seen blood-stained battles!
I have seen despot desires!
I have seen prophets come and go,
And ages pass with shallow…glancing blows!
I have seen civilizations crumble…
Tumbling, heavy-handed
Into pagan pasts!”
The desert has a voice-
And every grain of sand has a name-
Every wind-blown grain of sand.
And someone-somewhere-knows the names.
They have perfect place and purpose-
Rocks cry out! Rocks….sing!
Some soaring angelic scribe somewhere
Records the history of rocks, and sands, and deserts.
Drab, dull, drifting desert distances and plans.
Ragged, jagged, craggy-edged
Mountain spine explosions and
Dry, desert sand.
The desert has voice and future-
With lifted hill-high green valley-
And clear bright stream winding
To cool, crystalline sea.
They wait….silently…
Almost… forever waiting-
But I know the secret of deserts-
And –
Dreams.

It's taken much longer than anticipated trying to figure out my printer, graphic software, cricut machine and different vinyls, but I finally settled on a printed orange that is as close as I can get to Lego orange.
This is based on Barduck's City of Denver consist.
This was a still-life set-up that I took a close-up of and then processed in Topaz Software to make it appear authentic. It involved two plastic model tanks set up inside a lightbox.
