Very please with this single image of the #solar disc, taken with the #OM-1, 1.4TC, #300mm f4 Pro and some #Baader solar film. 1/1000 f5.6 ISO200 Processed in #Adobe Camera Raw, 1st one actual size, and 2nd one cropped for detail. That's one enormous #sunspot :o

@nybirdnews.bsky.social No photos as I don't have the camera for it, But I've just seen my first swifts of the year over Romanby, North Yorkshire. This by my Reckoning is a week to 10 days early.

A wet Easter Monday afternoon, so I took some focus bracket images of the flowers my niece gave my wife. OM-1, 60mm macro, available light, stacked in Helicon Focus 8, and processed in ACR.

@nybirdnews.bsky.social Something like 100 barnacle goose at scorton lakes, North Car park on the two islands in the main lake as per this link maps.app.goo.gl/TqahUXxJYAAB... Can't add a video to this post because it's the wrong format. We'll share later.

I have managed today to video the #sun with my OM Systems #OM-1 300mm f4 Pro and TC14 and #Baader foil. I used #AutoStakkert! 4, and used the best 150 images to stack the image, then some editing and cropped in Adobe Camera Raw to produce this... I'm happy with it, but need more practice I think...

I luckily managed to capture the short burst of #aurora at 17:50 on New Year's Day with my #OM-1 & 12-100 f4 lens, 1s ISO 3200, edited on my #Pixel7 with the #PhotoshopExpress app

For fun, I went out round town this morning, with my #OM-1 and 12-100 f4 Pro to do a little focus bracketing, and put some extension tubes on too... then stacked the results in Helicon Focus... all hand held, and am quite happy with the results 🙂 All 28 image stacks

This single #solar disk image with #sunspots through the #fog at 13:55 on 26th Dec, #OM-1, 300mm f4 Pro with 1.4x TC (equates to 840mm) 1/32000 @ f14 and then cropped in ACR. I will video the sun using #Baader foil the next time I get clear skies, then I'll use #AutoStakkert! to stack frames...

I was very fortunate to capture this #KelvinHelmoltz #KH #fluctus #cloud with a bit of #iridescence and #shadow #rays from #sunset on 22nd near #Topcliffe #Yorkshire as with most stunning formations they were gone in 5 minutes !

My first post here... there may well be a few more... Just a few #photos of the #moon at #sunset whilst I was at #Ripon #wetlands for the #starling #murmuration - I can't post the best videos as they're too long :(
