Well yeah, this is one block up from Main Street Ventura close to where I do my laundry and about three block away from Ventura High School in a pretty rough neighborhood (not! :-))
Music: Morcheeba - Otherwise right click and open in new window/tab
INVITES ARE GREAT, BUT PLEASE IN MODERATION

In case your interested here's a sample of my convoluted workflow:
1. +2,0,-2 RAW (sometimes JPEG) files loaded into Photomatix and processed using the detail enhancer.
2. Base Photomatix Settings:
Main:
> Strength - 85 or less
> Saturation - 65
> Light smoothing - High (The further right, the more realistic)
> Luminosity - 0 (adjust based on the picture)
Tabs:
Tone
> White point - 2% (adjust up/down based on picture)
> Black point - .5% (adjust up/down based on picture)
> Gamma - 1.00 (adjust up/down based on picture)
Color
> Temp - 0
> Highlights - 3
> Shadows - 0
Micro
> Contrast - 10
> Smoothing - 15
S/H
> Highlights - 18 (adjust up/down based on picture)
> Shadows - 18
> Clipping - 18
The light smoothing is the most powerful adjustment, so play with that setting first then adjust the others until you get the right look,
If your sky is a dull gray increase the S/H tab, “Highlights” up a bit
If you have to much light “halos” increase your “Luminosity” and the “White Point” settings.
3. Save as a TIFF file.
4. Open in "The Gimp" and re-size (save as____.tiff)
5. Make a layer copy.
6. Do an auto "levels" and see what it does, if it's cool I'll merge it down if not I'll play around with the setting and opacity then merge.
7. Make another layer copy.
8. Use the "local contrast enhance" script at about 50%, then adjust the opacity to fine tune it, then merge it down.
9. Make another layer copy.
10. Use the "vivid color" script and play with the opacity to fine tune it, then merge it down.
11. Save (still as a tiff) and close the picture.
12. Open in Photoshop (I have and old version and only use it to run the Topaz plug-ins)
13. Run the Topaz Adjust plug-in filter and see what the various presets do.............
14. Run the Topaz Denoise filter.
15. Save (still a tiff)
16. Open the original file (unaltered JPEG or RAW) in "The Gimp"
17. Re-size this to match the modified tiff file (don't worry about keeping the aspect ratio)
18. Drag the modified tiff file in as a layer (it will completely hide the unmodified version) then merge it down, this will recover the lost EXIF information.
19. Use the "smart eg sharpen" script at default settings (it makes it own layer copy) then play with the opacity to fine tune it, then merge it down.
20. Do a "save as" as a jpeg, and it's ready for Flickr!
Dos AS-2002 se encuentran siendo inspeccionados en los pozos del taller de mantención de los Talleres de Puente Alto del Metro de Santiago.
Todos los AS-2002 de la línea 4 visitan regularmente los pozos del taller de mantención. En ellos se revisan visualmente los equipos y se realizan algunas pruebas para comprobar que no existan fallas. Además se revisan y limpian los equipos eléctricos sometidos al mayor desgaste. Entre ellos están los contactos que toman la energía de los rieles laterales y los rodamientos de los los bogies de tracción, los cuales debido al flujo de corriente eléctrica sufren un desgaste mayor que el resto.

AS-2002-460 | Puente Alto Workshops L4
Two AS-2002 are being inspected in the maintenance area wells at the Puente Alto Workshops of the Santiago Metro.
All AS-2002 of line 4 regularly visit the wells of the maintenance area. There, the units are visually checked and some tests are carried out to verify that there are no failures. Besides that, the electrical equipment subjected to the greatest wear is checked and cleaned. Among them are the contact shoes that are used to take energy of the third rail and the traction bogie bearings, which due to the flow of electric current suffer greater wear than the rest.

I don't know anything much about this block except that it's at least 40 years old and its design is untypical of Swansea architecture.
Here are the 16 finished blocks (12" each). They are yet to be put together (have a nice blue Amy Butler fabric for a sashing).
Finished carving the key block for "Garden"! Read more about our plans for this print & see more photos here ~ www.tugboatprintshop.com/woodcut_garden.htm
Now a 18" x 24" full color woodblock print, part of our ongoing LIFE OF LEISURE Series!
Day 13 - A Pile of Things
Today, it's a pile of blocks ... we're having a new garage built and the old one will be demolished.
With a Hitachi unit in 2 it had to be a platform sided shot of 57603. Seen arriving into Paddington with the empty Night Riveria stock which was 5C99 2020 from Reading Traincare Depot 5/4/19.

A "taste" of what I am doing for our July Blocks. I still have one more block to do. Lori asked for desserts on a pedestal. Happy (un)Birthday!
It's been a year since I have made any of these blocks. It was good to have a break, but I really enjoyed making these.
That's the owl done, now onto the whale!
