A reflection nebula in the constellation of Orion, often called The Running Man Nebula.
NGC1977 is actually made up of three nebulae, those being NGC1973, NGC1975 and NGC1977.
It was first discovered by William Herschel in 1786 and is roughly about 1,460 light years from us.

Have you ever seen a doll this close?
What do you guys think, would you like to take a Macro shot like this one? Do you like Macro photography? Isn't my Raven perfect? (she better be since I was a good half hour searching for the perfect "one" in the store xD).
You can view it in it's original size btw, I've uploaded it in full quality so you can see Raven like she's under a microscope hehe
Techie stuff: For those wondering how I did this I used a very cheap extension tube on my 50mm lens.
Nothing Screams "I'm an American" Like a Fourth of July Strobist style ShalerJump
YES, we were nearly shut-down 1/2 way through the action be a security officer whose supervisor thought we should be doing our thing. We were on the top floor of Fiesta Mall Parking Garage in Mesa AZ. The mall encourages people to watch the fireworks there, and it was a full house The guard said something about "All this equipment"
The guard started to say that photography is not allowed, but they let it happen for the Fourth, (duh) I basically said that we're no different than the other people with their cameras. I pointed to a few people w/ tripods and D-SLR's I politely said that although the strobes might be bright, so were the fireworks. We're just taking some pictures of our friends and trying to be patriotic.
Yes we were where the cars could drive, yet the garage was packed full and nobody should be driving, although some people did come late. The guy understood, got on his radio and let us continue. (yeeee ha!) So, if people give you static. POLITELY reason with them and ask what makes a Strobist any different than anyone else with a camera. Why should crappy photographers get away with photography when the world just needs better photos?! :-)
Anyway, what did you do on the Fourth, Just fireworks or did you do it strobist style?

Shot one of my favorite models - Monica Brankovich at the beach of a local lake, while we were strolling after a fashion shooting. Nice and provocative poses are her second nature.
For the techie junkies - shot with Canon 5D Mark IV + Canon EF 35mm f/1.4 LII USM + Profoto B1 and Profoto Deep Umbrella Silver XL.
In case of questions - please, drop me a line in the comments. Follow me for more fashion and beauty shots.
This is NGC2841 The Tiger's Eye galaxy.
First discovered by William Herschel 9th of March 1788.
It's an unbarred spiral galaxy which can be found in the constellation of Ursa Major (the Great Bear).
It's 46 million light years away and approximately 150,000 light years across, so, quite big.
Imaged taken 5th of January 2022 from my back garden.

Yesterday I buid this little guy. As all his species he love technology. They always wear high tech suits so nobody knows their real appearance. Somebody think they are bots but some scanners have proven there is a life form inside their suits.
Ayer construà a este tipo. Como toda su especie le encanta la tecnologÃa. Siempre llevan trajes de alta tecnologÃa por lo que nadie conoce cual es su apariencia real. Aunque algunos piensan que son robots, algunos scaners han probado que existe una forma de vida dentro de sus trajes.
Actually, raspberries have been very, very good to me. So this is not revenge.
As the hoods say in the movies, its nothing personal, just business.
Took a bunch of shots until I caught that sneaky little pellet just diving into the tasty berry.
Just curious, every once and a while I get a crappy picture that has some tech interest. I don't want to show everyone that stuff, but some people are interested.
Should I try to figure out how to post the techie things in another secure (sometimes) disclosed location?
Things like setups, equipment, after shot mayhem.
Let me know in the comments.
What happens when your vertical alignment is out on your Leica M8? You can either send it to Solms, get an experienced RF techie to do it or you DIY. I opted for the latter for the sake of time and the fact that some RF techies didn't want to touch it. So, I bought a the Zhou vertical tool (http://cgi.ebay.com/Vertical-Line-Focus-Adj-Tool-F-Leica-M4-2-M4p-M6-M7-MP-/170399164715?pt=Film_Cameras&hash=item27ac94e92b#ht_2091wt_940) and fixed it myself. According to the description of the tool, it doesn't cater for the M8/M9, but it does actually work with the M8 (and I assume the M9).
Although I look a bit spack-handed with DIY in the YouTube videos, but I've fixed the Epson R-D1S alignments myself so I thought the M8 couldn't be much harder. The only tough part was getting the Leica badge off, which was a bit of a toughie. What you have to do is to repeatedly push it clockwise then anti-clockwise until the glue underneath it gives way. I would advise using a plastic object (something that won't scratch) to push under the left side of the "L" and then under the right side of the tail of the "L". Finally, it will slide off, revealing bits inside. It's a bit dark inside, but shine a bright light and you can make out where the hole is. This is a special tool that fits into the slot. Some would recommend using acetone (nail polish remover) to loosen the glue up a bit so you can make the amendments.
P.S. If you are not confident in doing it, then I would strongly recommend taking it to someone who knows what they are doing. One really needs to be quite delicate with it as it's easy f*ck it up. I did it because I am chi sin.
"0800 hours, and the siege on the Techno Union CP is slow. It's a bright winter morning on the surface, and we haven't heard much commotion. We are to proceed further within the heart of the facility. Extract the Force Crystal powering the station and move topside for evac. Direct orders from the Chancellor."
The entire thing was a wreck underground. The roofing had split which had dirt, rubble, and ice spill into the dimly lit corridors of the Techie outpost. We had encountered fairly thick resistance moving towards the target, but the uniformity of Charlie squad plowed through the CIS lines. We had successfully reached and completed the objective; fairly easily sacking the target and awaiting further orders. That was when things moved to the unexpected.
Command had warned our troops of the mutated Crystalline Nelvaanian Dua-Wurms ripping through the lower levels of the facility. I had encountered these things on Cularin four months before, but I was yet unprepared. The room shook, tearing durasteel off the walls like sheets of paper.
"Form a circle! Evac is en route! ETA Twelve hours!"
The shaking continually grew ever stronger and more violent. The men were refined, but it they were afraid - I was afraid. Moments passed, and everything went silent. Cold. The facility had went as dead and unwelcoming as it had ever been; but the absence of sound was unbearable. Looking to my left, I find Blondie crouching with his DC-15s poised, his hands loosely shaking in fear. They tore through the room in seconds. Czar was caught off guard and thrown into the air off the catwalk, falling several kilos to the ground below. He landed out of sight with a merciless splatter and the sound of breaking bones and flesh filled the room. Both Blondie and Goat looked in my direction, seeking orders.
"I'm sure he'll be ok."
We ran.

Well, clearly a meme can be the place for a rant—perhaps. Barely days when people said they were gonna return, then this f**ing bulls**t happens.
The oh so called maintenance for a 12 hour window. An idiot would have clearly figured out the wait wouldn’t take longer than 24 hours right? Then the drag comes along. Fixing stuff and yeah, patience. The epitome of waiting....blah blah blah.
Apparently it seems the community’s very much in anger for what’s all been happening for these days—-and likely months. Terrible updates that have plagued us for long that maybe even being inactive, you’d probably know what’s going on. That Pro account can actually go to waste for paying this heap of trash? Perhaps. Since the SmugMug buyout the prices are gonna increase.
I don’t exactly wanna blame the staff here, but at least you could have addressed it better. There’s a clear line of miscommunication and that is why more than a thousand customers are going after your head. In that case, I may not be a techie professionally, but updates like these should have been done in phases while keeping the site—or whatever it is running.
So what do you do when it goes to waste? You plan and write. Actually knowing what’s good to be set in stone for your issues. Real communication with the team. Hereby announcing the next slate of project coming up: Bronze Tiger. I’ve got the pilot ready since the dead days—hopefully it’s good considering I’be made the choice to move it up to late May instead of starting in summer (which may still continue into that frame.)
All I’m gonna say that, is if I’m going to have my issues look wobbly, blame the site. Second time happening, it’s gonna be GoT writers pulling another kind of stunt for its final season, and double it up.
Adios, now sit and wait for the next stuff coming shortly.
Technically I don't think this shot is good as the one that I posted yesterday - I'm not thrilled with the stem here fading into black like that without an edge. But, it was the coolest one to shoot...... it was the last shot that I took in this studio session due to the fact that I just knew that I had timed it perfectly when I saw the flash trigger at the exact same time that I heard a really cool "WHOOSH" sound. It was so satisfying.
Note to self..... more lighter fluid = bigger flame = cooler WHOOSH sound = make sure DIY cardboard snoot is further away. ;)
Techie, shootie, strobisty stuff can be found in yesterdays shot.
"….if the coyote catches you..." Well you know the rest of it and so does he , so he is sneaking up on the coyote instead. :-)
(wish I was techie enough to put the coyote in here split screen)
Chinese astronomers in 1054 recorded a new 'star'. This new star was visible during the daytime for almost a month.
What they were actually witnessing was a supernova, the death of a star.
This particular star was about 6,500 light years away. They didn't know it at the time but, they were witnessing something that actually happened around 5,450 BC.
It's believed that the Crab Nebula is the remnants of that supernova.
M1 is six light years across!
It was first discovered in 1731 by John Bevis. M1 is what inspired Charles Messier to later start his now famous Messier catalogue. After he thought he'd found Halley's comet and realised it wasn't, he decided to make a list of things that weren't comets, and so therefore, not worth observing. Now, every astronomer and astrophotographer are fascinated by them.

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 :-)

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!
This is an open star cluster in the constellation of Auriga. Sometimes called the Salt & Pepper cluster.
It was first discovered in the early 1650's by Giovanni Battista Hodierna. Later to be independently discovered by Charles Messier in 1764.
The cluster lies 4,511 light years away from us and is estimated to be between 350 and 550 million years old. Quite a few red giants can be seen within the 500+ stars that make up the cluster.
The best time to observe M37 or NGC 2099 as its listed in the New General Catalogue is the months of December, January and february.

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

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.

Created for the Spotlight Your Best theme, PERSONAL TECHNOLOGY.
Sometimes taking a wrong turn isn't such a bad thing. Barbara missed our exit on the way to a sales meeting Sunday, but it took us by the Kennedy Space Center, and I managed to get some fun shots. This is what you see when you pass by. There are several old rockets standing outside, and the history of the place is evident. I've lived in Florida for 52 years, and I still find the things impressive.
Even as far away as where I live in the Daytona area, the noise from sonic booms, and the absolute glory of the flames in a night sky are always awe-inspiring. Now that Space X is doing most of the launches and it's privatized, the technology is getting more and more advanced. Now, they're landing many of the rockets, instead of having to retrieve parts out of the ocean. That's economical, as well as being better for the environment. Launches are a lot more frequent now, too. Lots of satellites going up, the last was placed 20,000 miles up to improve the internet worldwide! It's mind-boggling for a non techie, and possibly a bit scary. This is where it all began and still goes on for the U.S., and no trip to Florida is complete without a visit to the Cape. It's been about 30 years since I've been there, so I'm due another trip, too. Maybe I'll see you there!

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 :)
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.

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.

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.
