Because the weather feels autumnal and because I was going through my photos from last year I came back to this one. I left it untouched as I couldn't get quite what I wanted. With a couple of tweaks I got it exactly how I envisaged it...
Tweaked ever so slightly and taken with my new 1500mm f2 lens.
I feel embarrassed by how many people are taking this as a genuine photograph rather than a blatant bit of photoshoppery. The actual eclipse is teeny tiny but is in the shot - it is in the slightly brighter area of sky up and to the left of the crescent.
Macro Monday: #Pastel
M.Zuiko 60mm F2.8 + Kenko extension tubes (16mm and 10mm)
Size of the frame: 0,6 cm / 0,23 inches
Back at it with the extension tubes :-) This very pastel (in any other week I'd say pale) coloured fluorite has been on my "to-shoot list" for a while. When I read the description for this week's theme, I knew I'd give it another try. I took captures without the extension tubes, with the 16mm tube, and with both extension tubes mounted. The latter yielded the best results, while the others, while beautifully sharp, were a little too busy with all those tiny cubic shapes and forms protruding which, in close up, by no means look as orderly as your typical Borg Cube. More like Borg dreaming of a little more individuality... This one was the most harmonious and most pleasant to look at, so here it is.
As mentioned above, I'd used both extension tubes. Lit from the back, left and right with LEDs, and shot with in-camera focus stacking. Processed in LR and in Luminar 3 (Accent-AI filter; Remove Colour Cast and High Key filter to eliminate the yellow-ish tones from the LED lights; Details small and medium, Microstructure; some HSL tweaks here or there).
A Happy Macro Monday, Everyone! (Btw, there seem to be massive Flickr issues again today, it's horribly slow, many Bad Panda sightings, and I nearly couldn't upload this...at least the app seems to work...)
Wenn Borg träumen...
... sieht die Welt gleich nicht mehr ganz so quadratisch und durchorganisiert aus, denn Borg träumen bestimmt von ein bisschen mehr Individualität ;-)
Hier war ich mithilfe der Zwischenringe ganz nah dran an einem Fluorit (der Ausschnitt hat ungefähr 0,6 cm), der schon seit Längerem auf meiner Makro-Liste steht. Da er sehr hell, oder, passender zum Thema, pastellig gefärbt ist, wollte ich ihn unbedingt für das "Pastel"-Thema ins Visier meines Makro-Objektivs nehmen. Ich habe auch Fotos mit nur einem Zwischenring bzw. ganz ohne gemacht, aber diese sind doch recht unruhig anzuschauen, weil die vielen kleinen eckig geformten, vorstehenden Einzelkristalle in der Nahansicht bei Weitem nicht so ordentlich aussehen wie man es vom handelsüblichen Borg-Kubus kennt ;-). Dann doch besser ganz nah ran und nur ein Detail ganz scharf abbilden, so wie hier mithilfe der Kamera-internen Fokus-Stacking-Funktion.
Beleuchtet habe ich den Fluorit von hinten, rechts und links mit LED-Strahlern. Entwickelt in LR und Luminar 3 (Accent-AI-Filter; High-Key und Farbstich-Entfernen-Filter, um die gelblichen Nuancen des Kunstlichts etwas abzumildern; Details klein und mittel und Microstruktur; HSL).
Ich wünsche Euch eine schöne, endlich wärmere Frühlingswoche, liebe Flickr-Freunde! (Habt Ihr heute auch Probleme mit Flickr? Viele Panda-Sichtungen, unglaublich lahm, ich habe es gerade so geschafft, das Foto hochzuladen...die App scheint immerhin zu funktionieren...)
I had switched stem and bars from the original GB to TTT, some time back. Today I finally taped the bars and got the brake adjusted.
Tweaked with the micro-adjustments on the 7D Mark II as it works with the 300mm and the 1.4TC. I think I have made it a bit more sharper. It fired off several quick captures this evening in the setting sunlight of a red-bellied, this downy, and some Junco's. All were quite sharp. I liked this one of the downy woodpecker trying to hide from me as it was perched in the tree. Despite being behind that large branch I was able to get the super quick focus and shot off before it moved on.
Shot with the Sony a6400 and Sigma 30mm f/1.4 lens.
Camera files settings - RAW and JPEGS (B/W).

Pulse would say this has "rhythm," I think.
Mass Effect 2 - Downsampled from ~25 MP using GeDoSaTo; in-engine post-processing tweaks; modified coalesced.bin with UE3 debug codes, playersonly, freecam, custom FOV; One3rd's CT for freecam, tilt, pause, and FOV, with my own DoF and post-processing additions; SweetFX for contrast and bloom
It is always a dream of mine to be able to capture the sun beams and every time i have the opportunity to try it i go for it. Hope I didn`t mess it with post but i added some small contrast and color tweaks. If someone have suggestions please share them.

"Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody." –Mark Twain
I've been actively teaching myself how to adjust my camera's shutter and aperture settings on-the-fly to get better results. On its automatic mode, my camera just turned the moon into a bright blob, but a few tweaks on the exposure settings and switching over to manual focus produced surprisingly good results. I know this is a no-brainer for a lot of photographers on Flickr, but this is all very new to me and it's amazing how far a little know-how with the camera's manual settings can go.
