Amazing for me , a "non-techie," to see and enjoy what is now possible with a mere touch of a handheld screen. Easy access to Flickr is the main reason for me having this new toy. I'm now on a huge learning curve and loving every minute of it :-)
This still life is dedicated to all of my geek friends. Are you a geek? Take my little quiz:
1. Do you have a Treo?
2. Did you ever start an Internet company?
3. Do you have a cool brightly-colored backpack?
4. Do you like clothing made of high-tech fabrics?
5. Do you Twitter?
6. Do you blog?
7. Do you know what a wiki is?
8. Do you have a hipster PDA?
9. Do you have anything with an Apple sticker on it?
10: Do you know what SXSW stands for?
0 out of 10: You're not a geek. Wait, hold on a sec. You ARE a geek, or else you wouldn't be on Flickr would you? Actually, how could you score zero if you are a Flickrer? You must be a liar.
1-5 out of 10: You're a geek but your neighbors may not know -- you hide it well.
6-8: Definitley a "core geek" -- deeply geeky
9 or 10: You are what we call a "bleeding edge geek" -- a geek that other geeks will follow, wherever you might lead. With this great power comes great responsibility.
Me, I scored a 9 out of 10 (No Apple sticker). Yes, I blog!
M97 the Owl Nebula, is a planetary nebula in the constellation of Ursa Major, The Great Bear.
Estimated to be about 8,000 years old it lies just over 2,000 light years away from us. It's given the monicker 'Owl Nebula' because of what looks to be a round face with two big eyes.
M108, also in Ursa Major, is much further away at approximately 46 million light years. This barred spiral galaxy gets the nickname 'Surfboard galaxy'. This edge on galaxy is thought to have a black hole at it's core 24 million times the mass of our Sun.
Both objects were first discovered by the French astronomer Pierre François André Méchain in 1781. Discovering M108 three days after M97.

An open star cluster also called the Foxhead cluster, though like most of these names, I don't see it. Quite a number of red giant stars hide in this cluster.
NGC 6819 lies 7,200 light years from us in the constellation of Cygnus the Swan.

It rained during the Memorial Day Service at Miller Park in Bloomington but it did not put a damper on the day, or it's color. There was a lot of red, white, and blue, even on the umbrellas. These two ladies were sitting just in front of me and I thought this made such a neat little scene.
The lighter side of techie things:
Anyone that knows me well, knows I love to shoot in the rain. Rain means clouds and clouds are like giant soft boxes that spread the light of the sun. It also deepens the hues of every color with which it comes in contact. Beyond that, it ads a sense of calm and peace, which I found quite fitting for this Memorial Day ceremony.
In case you missed the bugler ...
The heavy side of techie things:
ISO 400 (It was dark and kinda rainy)
1/250th
f/4.5
130mm
1 giant soft box for the sun
2 colorfully dressed ladies (From the American Legion Ladies Aid I think)
1 colorfully decorated umbrella
1 simple white glove

Playing a little ball in our back yard last weekend Jasper decides to show off his Superdog flying skills (note: no paws on the ground) Techie Dialogue: At 1/200th of a second, I'm a little surprised it came out as clear as it did. I tend to try for at least 1/1000th of a second on action.

This one is my most elaborated light painting so far, made joining three captures. One to expose the screens, another for my arms, and another to create the laser net over the whole desk. I also added two Sony MiniDiscs to the composition to commemorate the end of its production, which Sony announced this week.
The laser net was made with what I call "Wireframing tool", a tool I built with two RC servos, the laser and a microcontroller,
I'll probably write a little about that in my blog soon.
EDIT: I finally posted a little more information and a video about the tool here: elgaratge.com/?p=202
Thanks for viewing!

This car was constantly surrounded by people BUT there is new "distraction option" in Lightroom Classic does an excellent job in removing distractions such as people standing around a car !!
( For the techie types who use Lightroom - The tool is hidden under the spot removal group at the bottom of the listings there is a white triangle - click that and it selects all people, which you can deselect some if you wish using the Alt key on a Mac; It with use Ai I think to completely delete people in your image.)

Also known as Caldwell 49 and NGC 2237.
The Rosette is an emission nebula in the constellation Monoceros some 5,000 light years away.
It's thought to be responsible for the birth of some 2,500 stars. A group of which can be seen near the centre, this is the open star cluster NGC 2244 estimated to be about 4,000,000 years old.

i like blur most times.. and like it here ..
but ever since i dropped my camera, nothing is coming out in focus.
nature's way of telling me its time to finally get a digital camera :)
so hope you will please tell me..
(here please, so i can have all your guidance in one place..)
• what camera do you have .. and do you like it?
• would you buy it again??
• if you like it .. (and if you don't) .. why?
• what would you get if you could have any digital camera?
• why :)
my requisites:
• can carry in an almost-full backpack, so not too big
• able to give delicious bokeh (even if lens are required)
• e a s y for a non-techie like me to understand and to begin to use pronto
• a decent optical viewfinder with diopter wheel
* merci beaucoup *

This is just a small part of the nebula. I would have to do a pretty large mosaic to incorporate it all.
NGC7000 is an emission nebula in the Northern constellation Cygnus. At 1,700 light years away and about 100 light years across, it's a fair sized nebula.
