An unusual #ShittyCameraChallenge sunrise with the Sony Mavica MVC-FD51, 07 December 2022

An unusual #ShittyCameraChallenge sunrise with the Sony Mavica MVC-FD51, 07 December 2022

I’ve been using the ‘high specification’ Sony Mavica MVC-FD81 for much of the #1990sCameraChallenge, but I thought it might be nice to see a sunrise through its more basic sibling, the MVC-FD51.  Like before, I held an ND filter over the lens to take off the glare of the rising sun. This time, though, instead of the fixed ND4 filter I used my variable ND filter ramped up to near maximum as the…

I’m at Mrs Macquarie’s Point and looking towards some drama at Sydney’s Garden Island.

Luckily the drama is in the clouds rather than on the water as this is a Naval Base.

🌙💕CELESTIAL DAWN💜🌟

💖YOU CAN BE BRAVE AND AFRAID AT THE SAME TIME💜💕✨

everything you need is already inside of you 💞 speak your desires into existence, and then have the bravery to follow thru 💫 to accept your gift from the universe 🩵✨

I’m being brave and sitting down to paint finally after a long while of art block 🥹 peep the colors for my next dreamy gouache cloudscape 🩵🩷💜

I can’t wait to share when it’s finished🫶🏻💕

A #ShittyCameraChallenge sunrise, 03 December 2022

After all of my fussing yesterday about the sunrise for the @ShittyChallenge #1990sCameraChallenge I got sidetracked with house stuff and trichromes and forgot to post it,

After the file error on the first day of the #1990sCameraChallenge and sleeping through the sunrise yesterday, this morning I was determined to catch the sunrise before the rain returns. Taken with the Sony Mavica MVC-FD81. An ND4 filter was held over the lens to take off the glare of the rising sun.

This celestial cloudscape from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope captures the colorful region in the Orion Nebula surrounding the Herbig-Haro object HH 505. Herbig-Haro objects are luminous regions surrounding newborn stars that form when stellar winds or jets of gas spew from these infant stars creating shockwaves that collide with nearby gas and dust at high speeds. In the case of HH 505, these outflows originate from the star IX Ori, which lies on the outskirts of the Orion Nebula around 1,000 light-years from Earth. The outflows themselves are visible as gracefully curving structures at the top and bottom of this image. Their interaction with the large-scale flow of gas and dust from the core of the nebula distorts them into sinuous curves.

Captured with Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) by astronomers studying the properties of outflows and protoplanetary disks, the image reveals bright shockwaves formed by the outflows as well as slower moving currents of stellar material. The Orion Nebula is awash in intense ultraviolet radiation from bright young stars. Hubble’s sensitivity to ultraviolet light allows astronomers to directly observe these high-energy outflows and learn more about their structures. The Orion Nebula is a dynamic region of dust and gas where thousands of stars are forming. It is the closest region of massive star formation to Earth, making it one of the most scrutinized areas of the night sky and often a target for Hubble. This observation was also part of a spellbinding Hubble mosaic of the Orion Nebula, which combined 520 ACS images in five different colors to create the sharpest view ever taken of the region.

Salman Rushdie, may he be well, wrote this, once upon a time.

"There are photographs now of events on an unimaginable scale: the death of stars, the birth of galaxies, soup-stirrings near the dawn of Time. Bright crowds of suns gather in the wildernesses of the sky. Magellanic clouds of glory, heavenly Pisan towers set in a celestial Campo de Miracoli, lean across the frame. When we look at these images, there is yes, legitimate wonderment at our own lengthening reach and grasp. But it would be vain indeed to praise our puny handiwork - the mastery of the Hubble wielders, the computer enhancers, the colorizers, all the true-life-fantasist counterparts of Hollywood's techno-wizards and imagineers - when the universe is putting on so utterly unanswerable a show. 

Before the majesty of being, what is there to do but hang our heads?This is irksome. This, naturally, pisses us off. There is that within us which believes us worthy of the stars."

[Ian Sanders]
