Decided to break down and get the Miasnow huds. So I'm testing out a few things and this was one of the shots I did....
Location: Dragon Rose Isle
Hud: Miasnow
Pose: 5ifth Order
Testing out something a little more artistic for a Milky Way shot, choosing selective colors for what I think are the interesting aspects of a given MW shot. For this shot I thought the intense green airglow and new spring vegetation growth combined with the aurora from the Memorial Day weekend storm were "highlights" of the shot. I also decided to selectively color the Rho Ophiuchi complex, North American Nebula, and Sadr region. Thoughts?

Testing my new Raynox DCR-250 attached to canon EF100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM. This combination allows me to get more than 1X magnification.
The spider i identified it as from the family Jumping spider using the eyes arrangements, but i could not find the exact name. Its size is about 4mm.
I know the focus is not perfect :)
Thank you for your faves and kind comments, very much appreciated - deaR♥‿♥
Testing what may be my new camera once my back is sufficiently recovered to carry a backpack again, hopefully in the new year. As you would expect, I’ve carried out a rigorous, highly scientific test:
1. Can I carry it? Yes, all the way to the garden, no problem at all.
2. Does it fit in my pack? Probably. It’s around here somewhere.
3. Will it focus close enough to photograph a small pile of frosty leaves? Yes.
4. Are said leaves sharp? I should say so.
5. Will it photograph other stuff? I don’t see why not.
6. Have I comprehensively compared it to other cameras? Not really. I like this one.
7. Was it an impulse Black Friday buy? Maybe. I don’t see what that’s got to do with it.
8. Have you told the wife? No need. She can’t tell it apart from the old one.
9. So that’s that then? Yep. Proper job.

first printing of Helium for the Periodic Table project. I'm not happy with all the white space, so I think I'll do a very pale solid blue background layer, then put pale grey clouds and a bright red balloon. Might also try to paint a bit of yellow or orange onto the sun to make it more firey. Lots to try anyway.
Featured today is a kitchen timer with words from a timed typing test in the background. "Get ready for a ten-minute timed writing." Does anyone remember those words?

I cannot believe the crop I was able to pull off, here. The R5 just keeps amazing me.
Image quality of the RF100-500 is on par with the version two EF-100-400 with a tad more reach and little lighter weight.

The Flamingo Test is a single-leg balance test that is part of the Eurofit Testing Battery. It is used to evaluate static balance and overall body balance. The test assesses the ability to balance successfully on a single leg and is commonly used as a field motor test of balance for healthy subjects and athletes.
Just recently I’ve seen quite a few of my contacts heading over to 500px (for those of you that are unfamiliar with it, it’s a new photo social networking site, but unlike flickr you can vote for images to reach the front page). Now I know there are plenty of other photography social networks around, ephotozine, photoradar, x1, even facebook, but what I find interesting about the rise of this new one is not the site in particular, but the my contacts behaviour in approaching this new site. Many are posting what they themselves consider their best most successful work, filtering their new uploads to present them in the very best light. Now, there is nothing wrong with this at all, in fact it’s a good way to gauge a new community and gain valuable feedback. But for most new members dipping their tow into the water, their new community is largely the same faces with different avatars. There is nothing new and it’s like a different pub with the same friends, it feels fresh, but people still behave the same.
Any social network is based on its members and the rewards come from the social interaction. Personally I find maintaining several different social networks are very difficult. Investing limited time in different places weakens the experience and even changes your brain. ironically I was a listening to a neural scientist yesterday on Radio 4 that said , (and I paraphrase), our new fast and fleeting world of quick face book texting, email and the quantity of distractions is damaging our neural pathways. He said that people generally find it difficult to concentrate in the depth due to distractions and the quality of concentration is improved with no distractions from email, text, ect!
Anyway I digress, but the point I want to make is that anything that you really engage in, in depth offers bigger physiological rewards; it pushes you further and enriches your life.
Oh, just for an experiment I posted a new shot to this new site first to see how I felt about it. I personally will keep only one social network, but I will stay with the one that offers the deepest and best engagement with the people that I respect and find inspiration in their work. Where that will be in the future time will tell.
