Another long exposure, and this one was like an adventure for me, for various reasons:
- One: It was taken with my favorite fisheye lens (Rokinon 8mm) which is completely manual; so all calculations and control must be done manually here (plus a lot of test shots).
- Two: The fact that it is a fisheye lens, I had to improvise a way to fit any filter "in" it. No way to put any filter on the front; so, the filters would be applied to the back (by insertion into some grooves or using tiny pieces of duct tape).
- Three: I've used a solar filter here, which is typically used to observe the sun and solar eclipses, and typically it has high opacity.
- Four: Because of the filter, the exposure at basic ISO level would naturally be "long". Literally... "long". The exposure for this shot here was 5 hours and 20 minutes approximately.

So, the scene here appears empty, but in reality there were people going in and out and there was pretty much movement around the place, but nothing was recorded (of course). The colors also had to be fixed as the filter shifted the colors considerably. The noise level is HORRENDOUS to say the least! I really didn't even bother cleaning much of the noise here; cleaning it would leave me with a smudged image. Despite all of that, though, it is weird that back then, there was not much breeze or wind to shake the branches (something I was hoping for actually to add action to the scene). I've noticed that every time I try to do a long exposure, not much breeze or wind play out - bad luck? Maybe. Or maybe this is what they call "karma"?

Map showing the distribution of the three settlements Kaditshwene, Marothodi, and Molokwane and nearby modern towns in the Magaliesberg region, South Africa.
LiDAR image showing the stone walls at Molokwane. High elevation terrain in orange or red, turning to green as elevation decreases.
Viewshed in Marothodi; this map shows the degree of visibility of the kraal vector outline (high, low) from the surrounding dwelling structures and raster surface at the household scalar level. The color blue/green represents a low visibility of the kraal vectors as lines from the dwelling structures, while brown represents a high visibility of the kraal vectors from the dwelling structures, as generated from the Viewshed analysis tool

Above the Waterfall Along the Riverbank

A few years ago in the winter we took a short hike out to a local, hidden waterfall buried deep in the woods. @StevenKennard took a beautiful photograph of the falls themselves which he has posted today, my favourite image I took was probably this one, of the ice at the edge of the river, just before the water plunges down over the rocks. The swirls of colour and light in the water and on the ice were nicely contrasted.
Have a wonderful Saturday, friends.

Water swirling like molten metal with colours of blues, silver and dark browns is fringed on the bottom of the frame by frozen ice crystals making different patterns. There is a small patch of bubbles on the left side just at the top edge of the ice.

i can still remember the first time i met jon. i saw him in the hallway of a small art room in hamburg. i was sure i had seen his face in a magazine and painted it. so i introduced myself with: “you’re a model, aren’t you?” everyone around us started laughing “wow, what a turn-on!” i realized how my words could have been understood and blushed.
a few years later, i was actually allowed to paint jon and i’m very happy about it. in this picture, he draws the feeding passages of a leaf miner (miniermotte) with chalk in a rocky gorge. thank you dear jon!

Pinball machines are full of easter eggs, especially in the graphics department, but there's plenty of software surprises too.

Several Williams games from mid-90s feature a secret mode that starts if you have a game running when the clock hits midnight. Each game has some kind of a callout for when it starts and the mode itself has even more easter eggs in the graphics.

Out of my own games Who Dunnit and NBA FastBreak have it.

🧵 …the way AI is being misused to misinform the web has been clear for a long time, but to substantiate it arguably, I think we need this The Guardian text.
