Hello
I've just spotted that this is on Explore so I'd best tell you a little about it - I've been a bit busy uploading lots of pictures and haven't caught up with all of my comments and stuff yet.
Anyway this is from a dragon hunt at Rixton Clay Pits. As the name would suggest it's a former clay pits area serving a local brickworks. The clay has been exhausted and the area allowed to return to nature. The local authority stepped in and turned it into a nature reserve - and full marks to them as it is now teeming with wildlife, including a very healthy population of photographers who can regularly be seen stalking their prey on small game hunts.
Techie stuff: shot with a Panasonic GH2, 45 -200 lens with a Raynox 150 macro lens attachment bunged on the front.
Thanks for visiting and please have a butchers at my other stuff if you have the time, energy, patience and a suitable pair of sunglasses - and it's not all bugs :-)

The challenge for Saturday 1st October is ‘technology, new or old,’ and I wanted to steer clear of the techie kit we’re all surrounded with these days. So I’m taking the opportunity to salute another practical achievement of science, that of vaccination. Edward Jenner is considered the founder of vaccinology in the West in 1796, after he inoculated a 13 year-old-boy with vaccinia virus (cowpox), and demonstrated immunity to smallpox, and from then on scientists have developed and refined the technology to the point where many previously fatal outbreaks of disease are capable of being controlled.
My idea was prompted by my going last Saturday for my annual flu jab, and since our surgery was also offering the pneumonia vaccine in the same session I had that too, and then just yesterday I had my seasonal Covid booster. We learned from the leaflets they gave out that the Covid vaccine we were being given was a tweaked variant of the earlier vaccine so it was now capable of giving protection against two strains of Covid, another advance in immunology to keep pace with the mutations these viruses keep developing.
It’s salutary to think of where we’d be without the work of those dedicated researchers, so a picture of my growing collection of Covid vaccination tickets is my tribute to all of those involved in the vaccination programmes, from those in the laboratory through to everyone involved in the delivery!
== As always, your comments (and faves, should you be so inclined) are greatly appreciated! ==
My drought-tolerant front-yard landscape is WILD with California poppy plants. I've been waiting for the blooms to start filling in, but for two days now the weather changed from cool and rainy to hot dry winds. Completely thrashed them. On inspection today though, there are plenty of new blooms still wrapped up (you can see two here) and cooler with light rain is in the forecast this coming week. The blooms are really neat - the flower is encased (my non-techie term) and then it looks like a hat and then it falls off. Hopefully, I can show that in the next few days.

While it may not seem like much here, this area in Joshua Tree National Park is one of the park's fan-palm oases (though you can't see the palms here). Geologic faults criss-cross the park. When groundwater hits a fault plane, it rises to the surface and creates conditions for an oasis. Although you can't see the magnificent fan palms in this image, you can see several cottonwoods off in the distance.
Looking for my likely last Milky Way images of the season, I drove all over the park, to my several favorite spots, trying to settle on my late-night location. I chose Cottonwood Spring because it's darker and not as busy as the more northern areas of the park, and because I'd never been here at night. It was a good choice.
Techie stuff: 3-minute foreground at ISO 2000; 25-second sky at ISO 6400.
Assignment 52 -- Copycat
A terrifically exciting, thought-provoking assignment! And the first challenge, of course, is to isolate & define what is characteristic of a given photographer's style. Even more daunting for me, the realization made particularly acute that I very much lack the technique, skills & knowledge to do more than make the merest stab at imitating photographers I admire. Nonetheless, there is much to be learned in the effort, so here is my attempt at going in a different direction in imitating Llewellyn, who caught the attention of so many of us:
.robertllewellyn.com/#/PORTFOLIOS/SEEING TREES
Never mind the futility of getting his kind of pin point focus -- it was a huge struggle for me to get whiteness without shadow! Even after setting up lights & fooling with them endlessly, & I am not at all a techie sort of person! But I'm glad I tried!
Also known as IC 434 and Barnard 33.
The horsehead nebula is approximately 1,375 light years away in the constellation of Orion. A very difficult target to find in a telescope, it's possible with a large aperture using specialist filters. A camera that can pick up Ha it's much easier :-)
IC 434 lies on Orions belt close to the flame nebula with the very bright star Alnitak (just visible lower left) separating them.

Day 52 - February 21, 2010
I know running ain't a Winter Olympic sport, but its the perfect example of the competitive spirit in me, another thing about me that I'd like to share as we enter out sixth day of my Boy Behind The Lens Series.
This shot was taken early this morning after completing a 5K run at the Century Tuna Super Bods Race. I haven't been running in a long while now, but its been something that I have enjoyed a lot. I love the feel of wind on my face, and the freedom to let your mind wander, process some pending thoughts, or just enjoy the scenery. Didn't get my actual time today but am sure it is no where near my best time of just under 30 minutes. Still having trouble with my knees, they started hurting about a kilometer or so into my run.
Which brings me to my story, one that I believe is the best example of my competitive spirit. Two years back when Nike introduced the Nike+ Sports Kit (a sensor chip and attachment for your iPod combo that can track your runs, log your mileage, speed and other stats) - Nike Philippines sponsored a challenge was to run the most miles for the month of May. Being the techie that I was, I joined for the saake of being able to use my new gadget.
Prior to this, I had no running experience whatsoever so I started with a brief 3km run around my village. I woke up sore the next day and it took me about 2 days to recover. By the third day I told myself I needed to move up to 5k which I did, did it religiously for about a week until I decided that I would aim to finish in the Top 10. That meant I had to increase my mileage to 10km per run. And so I did. By the end of the second week my goals changed again from finishing in the Top 10 to finishing in the Top 3. As such I upped my runs to 21km.
Just so you can appreciate the foolishness of my actions, 21km is a half marathon. And for newbies it takes anywhere 4-6 months to train to be able to run that distance. I on the other hand - because of my drive to win began 21km distances on my third week of running in my entire life. I'd run 21k Wednesdays, Saturday and Sunday and then smaller distances in between. I ran in the rain, in the dark, and even after midnight. By my last week my knees were giving in and I ran through the pain. I remember there was a time I was literally crying out to the Lord in pain as I ran, but I just kept on going. On my last day I wanted to finish big as my main rival for first place was an experienced runner. So I ran 10km in the morning, 21km in the afternoon and 10km at night, totaling 41km a kilometer short of a marathon. Believe it or not I ended up winning the whole thing, but as a result I could not walk up or down stairs without pain for 2 months. Two years later I believe I am still suffering from the effects that incident.
This experience taught me one important thing about myself, about how powerful my mind really is. To succeed in something academic was not far fetched at all, but to win an athletic challenge was way beyond my wildest dreams considering that I am such a weakling. But I put my mind to it and even though I busted my knees in the process it g oes to show that if I really want something, and really put my mind to it, there isn't anything that's impossible.
That I believe is the Olympic spirit.
Oh I know it's an awful, corny title but when else am I going to get to use it?
The exit stairwell at the Vatican Museum. I should really be posting the classic image looking down the stairwell but, err, well, I fluffed it. But, on the other hand, EVERYBODY does that shot! So here's the more unique view looking up. And no that is not The Most Beautiful Girl In The World. No idea who she is but her standing there came in real handy for a bit of scale. :D
Anyway it's well past my bedtime and I'm clearly rambling so thank you for visiting and I hope that you enjoy the work.
See you all tomorrow

Oh sorry, techie stuff, this was a whole bunch of overlapping images stitched together in Microsoft ICE
More awesome stuff here...
No, really...
Futaba Sakura, reclusive hacker/gamer, has figured out how to create an avatar of herself (which she named "Oracle") to interact with Kizuna AI in Kizuna's virtual space. This allows Sakura a chance to socialize in a safe virtual space without leaving her home. Kizuna has complained about being alone in her empty, all-white world and may persuade Sakura to give her some props. The two will certainly play games together. Looks like a win-win for them both.

This image was created on the shore of Lost Lake in Whistler, British Columbia.
It was a glorious Sunday afternoon in September 2012 and the weather Gods really were kind to me that day. It had been 35 degrees Celsius with blue sky for 4 days, which made my then 8 month pregnant wife a very unhappy camper. Thankfully the heat finally broke on the Sunday and the high was 16 degrees Celsius, which made being outside a pleasure.
British Columbia really is a special part of the world to live in, with so much beauty and diversity in every direction. I really feel blessed to call this place home (technically I call Vancouver home, but you know what I mean).
I used a 10 stop ND filter and a 3 stop hard grad ND filter, to get the right level of contrast and detail in the clouds, mountains, reflections and water.
The techie stuff:
Sony A850 D-SLR
Zeiss 16-35mm Lens
ISO: 100
Aperture: f/10
Exposure: 82 seconds
Focal Length: 16mm
Filters: Hitech Pro 10 stop ND filter, Lee 3 stop hard grad ND filter

Seal Rock 3 - www.grantmurrayphotography.com/
I was in San Fran early January for the SF Bay Photowalk. This image is from a pre-breakfast solo shoot on the Monday morning after the Photowalk. After this session I met up with Nathan Wirth , Athena Carey , Alan Allum and John Kosmopoulos for breakfast and spent a wonderful day shooting around Pacifica and beyond with such amazing company.
This image is in the top 3 of my favorite images of the weekend. Seal Rock is such a famous scene and has been photographed a billion times. There is a small handful of photographers that have created some truly spectacular images of these famous rocks, for example Steve Landeros and Nathan Wirth!! This makes it extra difficult to come up with something unique, but not impossible :-) The conditions really were exceptional that morning, which made all the difference. Sometimes the Gods smile upon you and everything comes together.
I used a 10 stop and 3 stop ND filter and 3 stop hard grad ND filter, to get the right level of contrast in the sky, water and around the rocks.
The techie stuff:
Sony A850 D-SLR
Zeiss 16-35mm Lens
ISO: 100
Aperture: f/11
Exposure: 90 seconds
Focal Length: 17mm
Filters: Lee Big Stopper ND filter, Lee 3 stop ND filter and Lee 3 stop hard grad ND filter

Continuing with the Kent adventure day out, a short drive to Dungeness beach after seeing sunrise at Fairfield church.
Turns out to be an interestingly odd place with a slightly eerie feel about it.....
My title is with a thought in mind of how the long exposure has given the clouds a look of crashing waves, making their way up onto the beach. Well that's my interpretation anyways!
Looking to the distant horizon left of frame you can just make out the cliffs leading up to Dover. The boat was so weathered that no id could be found on it.
As a techie side note, the Lee proglass filters work very well with the Hoya R72 Infrared filter, giving near enough their respected alterations to exposure times and no nasty tonal surprises :)

I gave up too soon.
When my drive crashed, I thought it was over...especially when I saw the price that a data recovery group would charge. One of my friends lamented, "But isn't it worth it?"
I wanted to agree. But I just couldn't justify it.
So I gave up and bemoaned my loss on Facebook, gained comfort from the support of family and friends.
And I looked to the future. To being smarter about how I save my images. To new photographic adventures.
Then, my friend's techie husband offered to look at the drive. He promised nothing...
...and gave me back 90-95% of my files.
Yes, I am in the process of backing them up six times over.
And yes, mini miracles do happen.

Located 6,500 light years away in the constellation of Taurus. This spectacular planetary nebula is what's left of a star that Chinese astronomers witnessed going supernova in the year 1054, reported to have been visible in the daytime for up to 4 weeks!
First discovered by John Bevis in 1731 and then later by Charles Messier, who mistook it for Halley's comet. Leading him to create a list of objects that weren't comets, so he wouldn't be wasting his time on them. This list is known today as the Messier catalogue.

The elevator rung a light jazz tune as we ascended. No one spoke, the dinging of the floors we passed continued for what seemed like hours. The elevator slowed at ground floor 3. The doors slung open and we where met by 20 or so guards.
“Oh shit!” Grapes shouted as he franticly smacked the control panel on the elevator. The doors slowly closed as the guards opened fire. We all huddled to the sides and watched the bullets wiz by. Small dents filled up the doors.
We all grabbed a weapon from the cart. Olaf slung the HMG he found earlier over his shoulder. It could only be hip fired but held a greyhawk logo, which gave me some comfort. I didn’t know how it got here, but I felt as if greyhawk had once again planned ahead.
A ding came as the door opened again. Olaf charged the HMG and let loose a hail of bullets. The guards where helpless to the Large caliber Greyhawk 408. The ‘chug chug chug’ that came from the HMG’s internals was almost relaxing.
“common, cell block 3201 is only 3 blocks away. As we go there are a few stops we will make. I have little pockets of men who know the plan. ” the warlord said.
“Alright lets move” I said
The blocks where already burning from the riots. I had no idea it had started this soon, but what could I expect from the warlord. We sprinted through the cell blocks, a run and gun technique was the only technique that would work. If we bunkered down to get into a firefight, we would be surrounded quickly. The first stop we made was at cellblock 3204. A skinny man with a hawk like face and slicked back hair stepped out from a dark cell.
The shouting and crackling from the riots echoed from behind us. The hawk faced man shook hands with us and introduced himself as “The Diplomat.” he had a permanent grin on his face, and he took 7 guns and ammo for all of them. He smiled and shook hands with us once again.
“Alright, next stop is cell block 3202, we have two stops there. Then we find your techie and then step 3” shouted the warlord, a distant explosion rocked the building, I knew this had only begun.

A flavour of the excitement of a track day at Goodwood Motor Circuit.
The film is from a trip with two friends attending a Track Day at the Goodwood Motor Circuit on the 12th May 2023.
It was a beautiful sunny day down on the south coast.
Martin Brundle's son was taking part in an AC Cobra and a beautiful sounding exhaust from that V8 engine, a throaty roar for sure.!!
Techie stuff :- Filmed on iPhone 13 Pro Max using Filmic Pro App (The legacy version) in 4k and using a Reeflex Anamorphic 1.33 lens to give a cinematic widescreen image video footage.

As sundown approaches, I've noticed this male comes down from his surveillance perch high in a tree where he can keep an eye on several Fuchsia patches to a perch in a bush about 5 feet from the "best" patch. I think as the light fades, he must get closer to see and chase away others coming in during dusk for one last feeding on nectar. They need the energy to make it through the torpor they fall into during the night.
Techie: Good grief, you can get a fairly OK shot at ISO 51200!
MLK Shoreline RP, Oakland, CA
“Jacee!” I run out the door to greet her. We hug for a minute, then she pulls back and looks at me.
“Man, Sue. You got taller!”
“Look who’s talking.” Jacee had always been short. Really short. But now she had passed six feet tall, and she was barely seventeen.
“Fair enough.”
“I’m more concerned about the eyepatch, though. How’d that happen?”
“Ah, it’s fine. I can still see. But if you must know, I was in a building that exploded. Well, actually it was blown up on purpose. It happened about a month after I left here.”
“Oh, my gosh. I’m sorry!”
“It’s fine. It’s actually something that helped me become who I am. I started practicing using my powers after that, so I could help if I was in a disaster like that again.”
“So, you decided to become a superpowered disaster relief worker?”, I ask with a smile.
She laughs, and turns around to look at the car she had pulled up in, and shouts, “hey Nick, you need some help?”
A muffled voice comes out of the trunk. “Nah, I’m good. Just need to get…this…stupid…tent…out of the way.” A boy, about seventeen or eighteen, emerges from the back of the car, brushing himself off.
“This is why I don’t go on trips very often.” He walks up to me, and extends a hand. “I’m Nick, Jacee’s boyfriend.”
“I’m Susan. Nice to meet you.”
“Same here. Now I should really get that tent out so I can reach the suitcases.” He walks off, muttering about packing too much stuff into a sports car trunk.
“Nick’s a little funny. You get used to it.” She grins. “So, how have you been?”
I sit down on the sidewalk. “Not bad. Kids stopped teasing me about having powers a few months after you left, after I started hanging out with Evan a lot. I guess they got over the whole thing, because now, no one even cares.
Nothing big really happened. This is Hanserville, remember?”
Jacee laughs and says, “true, that. Can’t expect too much here.”
“So, what about you? How’s life in the big city?”
She pauses for a second, then says, “Pretty great, actually. I met some neat people in the last few years. Nick is one of them. He was actually the first person I met at my new school. He has some friends who are really cool, too.”
“Does he know about you having…y’know?”
She laughs awfully hard at that. “Are you kidding? He’s got powers, too. And really cool ones, at that.” She looks back at Nick, who can be seen as a pair of legs struggling against something in the trunk. He’s managed to get one suitcase out, but seems to be stuck with the tent. “Let me go give him a hand.”
She walks over, and pushes him gently out of the way. She pulls out the tent easily, much to Nick’s feigned displeasure. “No fair. You packed the car in the first place, of course you know how to unpack it.”
“Oh, be quiet. You want to pack the car for the trip home?”
“Oh, heck no.”, he chuckles.
“Come here. Show Sue your powers.” She turns to me, and mouths, “coolest ones you’ve ever seen.”
“Fine…”, he mutters. He pulls up the sleeves of his jacket. Closing his eyes, he tilts his head back, and a glowing white blade slides out of his left wrist. I look at his right hand, and there’s a shining black blade there.
He pulls those in, and clenches his fists. His hands are enveloped in black and white gloves. Not just any gloves, though. We’re talking cool ones. Big, metal-plated gauntlets.
He opens his eyes, and looks at me. “So, what do you think?”
“Sweet! Those were great!”
“You wanna see something really neat?”
“Sure!”
He stands up very straight, and closes his eyes again. He pushes his hands downward, and a black and white pattern appears on the ground under him. A white snake and a black one, each swallowing the others tail. He opens his eyes, and tells me, “punch me.”
“Seriously? I don’t want to hurt you.”
“Just do it. Even if you do make contact, I’m plenty tough.”
“All right.” I wind up, and throw a punch at his chest. It never reaches him. As soon as my hand reaches the perimeter of his snakes, a beam of light shoots from his chest, and stops my hand cold. It doesn’t hurt, it just completely blocks me.
“Throw something now.”, Nick tells me.
More confident that I won’t hurt him, I pick up a rock and chuck it. The same thing happens. It reaches his snakes, and a beam, this time black, snags it out of the air. He reaches out a hand, and the rock drops into his palm. “Nice throw.”
“Thanks. That shield is cool!”
“I know, right? I have some other crazy stuff I can do, but it tires me out a lot. I’ll show you in the next few days.”
“OK. You need any help carrying stuff inside?”
Jacee pipes up. “Nah, I’ve got it.” She flips a baton out of her sleeve, points it at their bags, and a pink and purple glow appears around them. They lift into the air, and follow us inside the house.
Mom comes to greet them. “Hello, Jacee! Good to see you again!”
“It’s good to be back!”, Jacee says as she lowers the bags to the living room floor.
“And who’s this handsome fellow?”
“I’m Nicholas. You can call me Nick.”
“Pleasure to meet you, Nick.” She shakes his hand, then says,” make yourselves at home, and if you need anything, just ask me or Sue.”
“Thanks!”
“So, where do we start?”, Nick asks. “I’m all for just unpacking the sleeping bags and do everything else tomorrow.”
“Sounds good to me. Then we can go meet up with everyone else.”, Jacee responds.
“All right, then.” They get their sleeping bags out, and then stand up and ask where they can find the bathroom.
About fifteen minutes later, they come back, and in new clothes. Nick’s dressed in pale blue jeans and a white t-shirt with a band on the front that I’ve never heard of. Jacee looks like an older version of the little girl I remember her as. Red hoodie, tattered jeans, and cowboy boots.
Jacee asks me to text the gang, and then borrows my phone so she can get their numbers. When she takes hers out out, I gasp a little. I’ve never seen a phone like that. For starters, it seems to be made of thick metal. Second, it glows.
Jacee sees me staring, and answers a lot of questions without me asking them. “I got it from one of Nick’s friends. He heard I kept breaking my phone, so he made this.”
“Ah. So why do you have so much trouble with breaking stuff?”
“Let me go get a rock.”
She comes back with one, and tells me to watch. She squeezes, and the rock starts to crack. She grits her teeth, and it cracks fully in half. “There’s your answer.”
“Wow. Here I thought you were clumsy and dropped them.”
“That too. But after that, I got a good phone case. Which I crushed when I got mad with my phone in my hand. After that, I wasn’t allowed to have a phone. Then I met Nick’s friend, and he decided to make this thing. It’s made of quarter-inch steel, with a graphene layer over the screen. I’ll have trouble cracking this.”
“Sounds like he’s quite the techie.”
Nick chimes in. “Not really. He just knows how to make durable stuff. He’s got strength about like Jacee, so he knows what it’s like.”
“Cool!”
My phone beeps, and I check. Donovan just texted back, saying he’ll come over to see Jacee and Nick. I text back quickly, telling him I’d see them in a few minutes. Speaking of which, it was getting to be late.
“I totally forgot to ask, are you guys hungry?”
“Are you kidding? I haven’t eaten for eighteen hours!”, Nick exclaims.
“Right this way, then. You like chili?”
“I love it! Lead on”, he says with a grin.
I hope you enjoyed this issue! Let me know what you think.
“You don’t ever have to leave home,” thought Futaba, “which suits me just fine. More time for gaming!”

A spiral galaxy found in the constellation of Coma Berenices. M88 (NGC 4501) was discovered by Charles Messier on, what was a busy night for him, March the 18th 1781. He is credited with discovering eight other galaxies on that same night.
M88 is 47 million light years away and has a supermassive black hole at it's core estimated to be 100 million times more massive than our Sun!
The galaxy is red-shifted, so it is moving away from us with it's 400 billion stars.

For about a week now there have been enormous numbers of gulls in the Bay and I think finding food is a problem. Whenever a gull finds something (whatever this is) it is mobbed by other gulls who attempt to steal it. In this case, the pandemonium was so great that the gull with the food (?) dropped it and no one got anything.
This mobbing was happening every few minutes. All but one gull gulls in this shot are still in juvenile plumage (less than 4 yrs old).
