Assata Shakur https://www.flickr.com/photos/30620986@N06/53263797841/in/pool-11947580@N00 Ken L. Katz has added a photo to the pool:
Photographed at the 12th Annual Autumn Lights Festival in Oakland, CA. This is how the artist, Molly Jane described the subect and medium:
"Assata Shakur is a large scale multimedia collage on a glass window honoring the Black Liberation Army freedom fighter. The first woman to make the FBI's Most-Wanted list, Assata Shakur, escaped from prison in 1979, emerging from beyond the cages to freedom in Cuba, where she was granted political asylum. Incarcerated people are separated from their loved ones, speaking to them through a panel of glass. MJ (@mollyjane.design) used strips of paper cut from magazines adorned with Shakurs quotes and hand lettering, to create this portrait homage, bringing Assatas image out from behind the glass to illuminate her spirit." |

The weather was looking promising I went out to take some night sky shots at Rock Frog. It was supposed to be clear but some pesky cloud decided to move in and hang around. The bright light at the end of the railway are the headlights of a truck coming towards us, whereas the truck's braking lights were lighting up a hill behind it. The red glow along the horizon could well be from the Aurora Australis. Separate 30 sec foreground shot and 2 min tracked sky shot blended in Affinity Photo. |

The old days were overrated https://www.flickr.com/photos/ben_coffman/53263063791/in/pool-11947580@N00 Ben_Coffman has added a photo to the pool:
It's a rainy day here in Portland, so once again I'm mining my photo archives, not unlike the folks who built this old shack in the mountains in Death Valley National Park to mine whatever ore they were after. This was from the pre-covid days, February of 2020. I was thankful that I got this trip in, because when I returned seemingly everything changed, and quickly.
There are a few interesting things happening in the sky in this panorama. First off, we're seeing a melange of zodiacal light (left side rising from the horizon to the top of the frame), light pollution (left side near the horizon), and then some airglow (right side close to the horizon). We can also see a couple of planets bathed in the zodiacal light on the left side, with the brightest by far being Venus and then above that and slightly to the right Uranus, which is quite a bit dimmer and quite blue (this is a result of the planet's atmosphere being made of hydrogen, helium, and methane, which absorbs red light but reflect blue).
Technical details: 10 total photos (5 sky and 5 land), all taken from the same tripod position at the same time. The panorama was assembled in PTGui, with final edits taking place in Photoshop.
Thanks for looking! |
