I've been playing around in Photoshop a little lately and finally got around to teaching myself layer masks. This is a combination of two images where the same eagle was taking off from the treetop. I was also practicing some techniques taught on the website of my superbly talented contact Philippe Sainte-Laudy ~ if you haven't seen his work before, do yourself a favor and check him out!
I might be falling in love with medium format film. Quite a different process and feel compared to digital and mirrorless stuff. Awesome to have only 12 frames per film roll :)

The howl of EMD SD40-2's in full dynamic braking is a sound that really gets my blood flowing. Here,Jamie has his train pinched up quite nicely as he takes WSOR T4 down to the interlocking at Duplainville.
A lot of dynamic range as far as the lighting went and of course, the dynamic movement of the water.
A coronal mass ejection approaches Venus in this NASA-created image, a still capture from a 4-minute excerpt of "Dynamic Earth: Exploring Earth's Climate Engine," a fulldome, high-resolution movie playing at planetariums around the world.
The excerpt explores the fundamental power of the sun and how its energy drives the climate on Earth, and is made up entirely of new visualizations -- created by NASA Goddard's Scientific Visualization Studio -- that illustrate NASA satellite and model data of a coronal mass ejection from the sun, Earth's magnetic fields, and winds and ocean currents circulating around our planet.
To see the full, narrated excerpt, go to: youtu.be/ujBi9Ba8hqs
These visualizations were recently accepted to be shown at the SIGGRAPH 2012 computer animation conference. To read more about this, go to:

The excerpt was also the basis for the 100th story released through the Scientific Visualization Studio's iPad app, called NASA Visualization Explorer. To see the app story in web form and to download the app, go to:

We did a treat and click session where they toss a treat and capture the dogs reaction to trying to catch the treat. If you look closely you can see the treats, and the fact that they missed!!! I think they look like opera singers.
My good Flickr contact and Fujifilm X-T gear colleague Bram de Jong commented on an earlier photo of Caffè Sicilia. He asked if I also took photos with the line of fire more parallel to the counter. For the reasons of more depth, a better view of the small café, angle-wise and just out of pure interest.
I responded that I would think about it… So, I did for about 2 seconds. The remaining time I needed for post-production.
This is the second shot of Caffè Sicilia. I think this one is not as strong as the first (see underneath in the comment section) with regards to making contact between the people in the photo and “you” looking at the photo. However, it gives a better impression of the local atmosphere in Caffè Sicilia – when there are not too much tourists around, how proud the staff is and the depth along the counter ;-).
Please tell me your thoughts on which of the two photos you like and why! Just take a little time to elaborate. I will highly appreciate it and will respond accordingly.
About the Caffè
In Noto, on the island of Sicily, the outwardly unassuming and humble 127-year-old Caffè Sicilia is a must see and must taste. One hasn’t been to Sicily when one has not set foot in this palace of taste, flavour, natural ingredients and tradition. The fourth-generation owner, Corrado Assenza and his wife Nives, proudly serves pastries, goodies and drinks. Some experts consider the cannoli, gelati and granita to be Italy’s finest. And concur after a small tasting.
Caffè Sicilia is popular gathering place. There are a few tables outside and a bit more inside (in a neighbouring room from the shop). Many tourists are queuing for those few tables. But the real magic happens and can be seen at the bar. There you see the staff preparing all the delights. Have the biggest chance of seeing Corrado Assenza at work. So, don’t queue up. Do as local Italians do, have a coffee (NB: those two cups are Esther’s and mine:-) at the bar and a small talk with the staff. Oké… and in my case take a photo.
Technical stuff
The lighting in Caffè Sicilia is not bright. Therefore I used a 2000 ISO, f4.0 (which is rather low for the DoF) and 1/140 and 2/3 stop under. I used 16 mils to get it all in.
Post-production consisted of LR and Silver Efex Pro 2 by Nik collection. In Silver Efex I used the Full Dynamic (Harsh) pre-set and then went from there. I fiddled with the toning, the [spot adjustment] tool, the grain and the overall structure, brightness and contrast. Finally, I added copyright signs (in PS). The latter is, alas, there to stay due to the fact that my photos were frequently copied. So, don't bother commenting on that.
Another E9A and an unknown FP7 (for the life of me I cannot read its number boards) waiting out the weekend.

Sorry but I just had to post another shot of these gorgeous Evening Grosbeaks. I haven't seen any on the feeder since I took these shots just over a week ago.

The photo is executed in technique «LightGraphic » or «The painting of light», that assumes illumination of model by small light sources in darkness on long endurance.
Thus, all lightcloth (composition) - is one Photo Exposition, is embodied on a matrix of the camera in one click of a shutter.
The sketches very often executed in such a way further are drawn in the graphic editor as it would be on a canvas a brush. Plug-ins and filters are not used.
For
Flickr Friday group. This weeks theme: The Third Man.
There's always Batman and the Joker, but Robin isn't always around. He's a bit of what I'd consider a "The Third Man", sometimes there. sometimes not, maybe even forgotten when he's not around.
My morning visitors return and this time they decide to rest in the lawn near the field where their momma is watching.
This build had many first. First time, airbrushing, kitbashing (kinda), and 3D printing/modelling (for gunpla), first use of decal solutions too.
I built the MG Dynames exactly a year ago planning to do this, but before starting the main customising, I had a Gunpla break (to focus on studies). I'm glad I did though, as that gave me more time to watch videos and observe how people do things.
Airbrushing was a pain. Found it hard to get a good consistency of paint and it kept coming out weird at times. I bought a cheap brush/compressor off Ebay and used Revel acrylic white for the base and Citadel Sybarite Green and Lahmian Medium for the green. Handpainted a few small details too. Probably will airbush again in the future with better results.
3D modelled some adaptors using Blender, for the thrusters to attach to the GN Drive and for the holster to back skirt attachment. Actually used some fake/3D printed Lego for the joint. First use of plastic cement too.
The Sword I found off Thingyverse and just scaled it up. Was this one: www.thingiverse.com/thing:2828010 if interested.
The decals are some Sazabi Ver.Ka + a few MG Dynames ones I bought of Aliexpress. The microsol.set is a godsend, I used just water on a few kits before hand and the decals are kinda flakey even with a topcoat.
In universe I see this as a close combat variation of the Dynames. The shields now act as bits/funnels. And in the knee are shotgun rounds so he can knee opponents and fire (similar to Kimaris Vidars Drill knees). The Grenades in the front skirt now have some smoke flares too for enemy distraction. Sword is GN powered and takes the best of the Exias real blade and a beam blade. It can be powered without connection, but it better if so. The pistols still the same and the head mounted site is more of a general different wavelength camera. I see this as my current Build Fighter/Diver suit.
work for dynamic style, look out for for my pieces on their new line of hats t's and sweats. www.facebook.com/pages/Dynamic-Style-Clothing/194024015836
