Vallone dei Mulini- Sorento
taken on this day 9 years ago whilst on my honeymoon and figured it deserved an anniversary reprocess.
Sadly efforts to rejuvenate the ruins have removed a considerable amount of its charm so this once amazing monument to nature's persistence has been set back a ways

I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky

Non photography related but random shower thought:

So if Trump can rename the Golf of Mexico on American maps via executive order, can he also just make America "Great Again"?

Because that would save a lot of confusion and is totally achievable

What a couple of years of post processing gets you. Less data, better outcome.

Not much #milkyway in this but the shot (single) was more about capturing the 67% moon and Milky way without bracketing.
Taken at f4 so I had some lovely little difraction spikes

Really struggled with Andromeda setting over December. I went out a few times at a few locations but whether it was distant cloud or just the brightness being reduced at the horizon, I couldn't get good clarity. This is a stack of only 4 shots designed to be singles. Single frame in comments

I don't really know what I'm doing with storms photos This was after a long day hiking in Mount Rebei and my wife and I just sat on the balcony at Cellars Terradets and watched this role in. Long exposure to maximise chances

An appeal to photographers to please stop with "expose to the right". It's wrong. We don't use film anymore and digital sensors are much more efficient at pulling details out of the shadows than overexposure. Not only that but the dynamic range improves and saturation is more natural

What do people think stacking does in photography? Not focus stacking (which should be called blending) but stacking.
Quick stacked lunar occultation of milky way for reference

Starting off this Bluesky thing with a decidedly Orange Sky.
Ngungun's Bane
The entire shot is taken in composition on a 135mm lens
I used one FG shot with me illuminating the path and one of me standing
The sky was stacked 315x to reduce noise
