... seen at Mirror Lake, along the hike to Lake Agnes in Banff National Park, in the Canadian Rockies ... sometimes it's nice to have a cloudy day, to bring out the colors. the sun had just hidden behind the clouds when I took this shot, and the colors are so different and more vivid compared to the one I took just a few minutes earlier.

thanks everyone!

In my meanderings with intentional camera movement images (ICMs) a while back I came across a photographer who was mentioned by several people as being one of the denizens of the genre. He specialised in post-processing his work to achieve the result he wanted. That struck me as unusual (and from my perspective, welcome) as most ICM photographers tend to err on the side of doing everything in camera and as little as possible in post. This struck a chord with me as my personal approach tends to view the initial capture as just the first step in the creative adventure.

But I was sceptical. I’d heard that he mainly used Nik Analog Efex for his work, and normally I wouldn’t think of going there as my chosen playground for ICMs. I’ve used Analog Efex a fair bit for other things but, for ICMs, I naturally go to Color Efex for playtime.

But it’s Sunday and sliders beckoned so I thought I’d give it a try…

Woah! How interesting! Fascinating, in fact. (though you’ll readily appreciate that I find lots of things fascinating ;) ). Ooooh. I can feel myself definitely having a lot of fun with it in the future. It has a useful selection of unique tools that can create abstracty, impressionisticy, minimalist ‘art’ which often is the kind of stuff I enjoy.

This is based on a (rather boring) ICM image of the Greek mainland taken early this month from a deserted beach that is not easily accessible by car on the north of the island of Skiathos. It’s a straightforward (actually a bit of a wavy movement ;) ) horizontal swipe ICM. See the link to the original in the first comment.

I then tinkered with it. After processing in Capture One to make it nice and smoothe I took it into Affinity and duplicate the image layer. I then blended the top layer with Linear Light blend mode, mainly because I liked the colours. To add a bit more interest and variety (I did say it was boring, remember?) I increased the size of the top image copy to draw colour through the image.

Then into Nik Analog Efex for a bit of play. The result had rotational and zoom blur, a vignette, a subtle blue-green film effect layer, a rectangular vignette and some added grain.

I also added a light scratches texture layer, mainly because I dared myself to. Normally I don’t like doing that. What do you think about the scratched look. I’d be interested in your view on the image and its scratches.

The name of the photographer who inspired me, by the way, is Andy Gray (andrewsgray.photography/ ).

Thanks for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy 100x and Sliders Sunday :)

Aquamarine March birthstone, set with a starburst set. Crazy Tuesday Gemstone. I guess you could say diamond in the rough only its not quiet a diamond 😊 The frame is 1/8 inch wide.

My bubble of the season, I usually have my son helping me with the fun project during the summer months, but this year the weather kept us indoors as much as possible, so this time I did all by myself.

I bought one of those kids bubble machines and It worked really well, but it produced so many at once that the fluid mas gone in two minutes. Not having more of it, I did my own mixing of soapy fluid, and tried again. It didn't work as well with the home made recipe, so I had to try the all fashioned way, a straw and my blowing efforts. I was able to make big beautiful bubbles, but when I put down the straw to prepare the camera the bubble was disintegrating, but I kept going at it.

I stayed a lot longer, a family of deer was peacefully eating near by, and I had the chance to photograph them too. What a day, not a cloud in the sky, until I took this one... If you notice the sun was about to be covered by one, so here it is, I might have one or two more of them, but I really had a lot of fun :)

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Photography is one of my passions, and nature photography is my favorite.

I have been in Explore for more that a hundred times, and it is an awesome experience to have your photos showcased in such a special way.

I'm in many groups, and I only add my photos to them if they are not private.

I thank your for coming today, for leaving a comment, and make a favorite of yours this photo, (if that is the case) thanks again!

The best part of this forum is the contacts and friends that I have made over the years, that have the same passion for this art that is called photography!

Hello, friends! How have you all been?

I have been doing alright. My beautiful puppy Lovey died Thursday night of a seizure. It was totally unexpected and her loss has taken a big toll on me and my family. However, I know that in order to recover from a loss, you just have to keep a positive attitude and stay strong (which I'm trying to do). RIP baby pup!

Please don't ask why Aquamarine doesn't have a shirt on b/c when I see mermaids, their hair always is their shirts.

I am particularly fond of my Olympus E-PL6 with it's 16MP on a CMOS Four Thirds (17.3 x 13 mm) sensor. : $220

Picked up the threads on the green tarp nicely past sunset and stabilized well at 1/40 sec.

Question being; How many pixels are necessary as we see more and more super HD mega pixel cameras on the market and how many pixels will be rendered by our computer screens?

Portability is another factor - as well as price point.

#1 in Interestingness for a few hours...then kicked.

Large shows good wave detail in the foreground (looks like noise in medium).

Going for a kind of polar feel with this one with the chilly palette and the icy-looking reflections. This aerial was shot from a float plane over Georgia Strait.

Have a great day.

I don't know why but this must be my fav Picture of Aqua; even with horrible weather. xD It was so hard for me to take decent pics of Aqua, so I took a little break with photographing her. Now she is back :)) I edited her eyes darker that they match better to the top, but I must say that I prefer her in dark eyes *O* I am thinking about redye them like this. :)

Oh and btw, this one is my hundredth Upload :)
