... I apologize in advance for bringing you yet another one!
This is #7 in the series {and that doesn't even take into account the ones I posted on Instagram}! If you are interested in seeing the Instagram versions, you can check out my Instagram gallery here: statigr.am/pixelmama I'd love to find out who else is on Instagram!!
As you can see from the SOOC in comments, I slid the heck out of this image. The originals below are the middle & under-exposed images of a 3-bracket set. The over-exposed image was totally blown out. The sky in the under-exposed image of the set is what I was going for in the sky, but the surfers were too dark and not in a good position like the middle exposure image. I started with an image blend, but it was a hand-held bracket shot and it didn't line up at all! Imagine that! *note to self: use tripod for bracketed shots*
To begin my slide, I selected the middle-exposure image and processed using my standard Photoshop edits {levels, H/S, etc.}. I then opened it in RadLab . I really like RadLab with the endless possibilities and tweaking you can do with it.
The final step was a fine-tuning in Nik Viveza. Of all the plug-ins I have, I think I use Viveza the most. The final image looks completely different, doesn't it? Sliding is so much fun!
Hope everyone is having a Marvelous & Happy Sliders Sunday!!

This sunset silhouette was taken with my old film camera in Longboat Key, Florida in 2002. It is one of my all time favorite images form the trip. I have this one framed! The title is from "Saturday Morning Cartoons' Greatest Hits" soundtrack.
The girls LOVED that CD and this song is by Frente. This song was sung in one classic episode by Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm. Jackie would play this song over and over! She sang it with all her heart! We still laugh about it and she still remembers every single word to that song.
These last few posts of mine are really hitting up the nostalgia. I guess I really missed our family vacation this year ... all four of us by the sea ... changes in latitudes ... changes in attitudes (oh hey, another family vacation favorite)!

"So let the sun shine in
Face it with a grin
Smilers never lose
And frowners never win
So let the sun shine in
Face it with a grin
Open up your heart and let the sun shine in"
Heading off to work (this is hard to get used to) but it is going better than I hoped. Guess I didn't forget how to work after all! I'll catch up to everyone this evening! Have an awesome Thursday everyone!!! :D
Sometimes it is the vast emptiness and a fine blue hour mood which makes the scene. Supplemented by subtle structures on the ground which are complemented by the cloud structures in the sky.

Headed out to my favorite sunrise spot this morning just before the sun came up; plenty of time to catch the sun as it rose to just above the horizon.
Photography Tip: Don't wear flip flops when slipping out into the predawn light. The morning dew meant I ended up kicking them off and walking barefoot up the slippery slope to get to this spot!!
Happy Thursday Everyone! Today is Jackie's last full day of High School and tomorrow is her last day! Yahoo!!

We tend to celebrate light in our pictures. Understanding how light interacts with the camera is paramount to the work we do. The temperature, intensity and source of light can wield different photography effect on the same subject or scene; add ISO, aperture and speed, the camera, the lens type, focal length and filters…the combination is varied ad multi-layered and if you know how to use them all, you will come to appreciate that all lights are useful, even those surrounded by a lot of darkness.
We are guided by three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, our longing to capture in print, that which is beautiful, the constant search for the one picture, and constant barrage of new equipment and style of photography. These passions, like great winds, have blown us across the globe in search of the one and we do understand the one we do look for might be this picture right here for someone else out there.
“A concise poem about our work as stated elow
A place without being
a thought without thinking
creatively, two dimensions
suspended animation
possibly a perfect imitation
of what was then to see.
A frozen memory in synthetic colour
or black and white instead,
fantasy dreams in magazines
become imbedded inside my head.
Artistic views
surrealistic hues,
a photographer’s instinctive eye:
for he does as he pleases
up to that point he releases,
then develops a visual high.

A trip to Negros, the sugar capital of the Philippines. These are remnants of an old port of the place, endless structures in the sea.

I know I am a sunset/sunrise freak and I certainly collected many shots (probably...no definitely better than this one), but I really do like this one the best as this shot totally sums up the wonderful evening I spent at the Nepenthe Restaurant in Big Sur with my BFF Pam. I am so glad I was able to treat her to dinner, a beer and this awesome sunset!
I am still mesmerized by this glass of sparkling amber liquid! I want one right now...at that same table!
ETA: Let us all thank Benjamin Franklin for that wonderful quote! Wait...now I just read that maybe Ben didn't say that! Well I don't care who said it, it still remains one of my favorite quotes! And I thank whoever actually said it!

I have only two other images that made it to explore, and until recently, I didn't even know what that even meant! And I find it to be hilarious that of all images, this one was chosen! I am convinced it was the title!

“In the morning I bathe my intellect in the stupendous and cosmogonal philosophy of the Bhagavad gita, since whose composition years of the gods have elapsed, and in comparison with which our modern world and its literature seem puny and trivial; and I doubt if that philosophy is not to be referred to a previous state of existence, so remote is its sublimity from our conceptions.
I lay down the book and go to my well for water, and lo! there I meet the servant of the Bramin, priest of Brahma and Vishnu and Indra, who still sits in his temple on the Ganges reading the Vedas, or dwells at the root of a tree with his crust and water jug. I meet his servant come to draw water for his master, and our buckets as it were grate together in the same well. The pure Walden water is mingled with the sacred water of the Ganges.”
― Henry David Thoreau, Walden: Or, Life in the Woods

Haruki Murakami's— "On Seeing the 100% Perfect Girl One Beautiful April Morning" #💕☔#🌿☁
...
One beautiful April morning, in search of a cup of coffee to start the day, the boy was walking from west to east, while the girl, intending to send a special-delivery letter, was walking from east to west, but along the same narrow street in the Harajuku neighborhood of Tokyo. They passed each other in the very center of the street. The faintest gleam of their lost memories glimmered for the briefest moment in their hearts. Each felt a rumbling in their chest. And they knew:
She is the 100% perfect girl for me.
He is the 100% perfect boy for me.
But the glow of their memories was far too weak, and their thoughts no longer had the clarity of fouteen years earlier. Without a word, they passed each other, disappearing into the crowd. Forever.
A sad story, don’t you think?
Yes, that’s it, that is what I should have said to her. .

I could post just sunrise photos for the rest of the year eternity in case anyone was wondering! This one was in Corpus Christi. We were the only ones there!
Sorry I missed everyone yesterday! Had to get serious with that raking! Filled 17 Leaf & Lawn bags and we aren't done yet! Today I am off for another sunrise and then a photography seminar! I'll catch up this evening!
Have a Great Tuesday Everyone!
Malapatan, Sarangani is bounded by a rich aquatic mangrove forest, where mangrove trees reach 10-20ft high, it has also serve as a barrier to the might waves of Celebes.
Going inside this aquatic forest is surreal. This is a shot from inside the “forest” with the sky matching its beauty and showcasing theatrical lights.

sakura (桜) cherry blossom air さくら 🌸🍃
Time after time
Alone in the city of whirling blossoms
Those petals fly in the whirling wind
The miracle of meeting you
In a city where the wind whispered through
The hanamidou tells of the end of spring
One petal from this misty flower.
