Example of use of TOPAZ AI SHARPEN

It's impossible to recover a movement blur with a sharpening filter : a sharpening filter will only add noise in this case but it will never recover details.
TOPAZ AI SHARPEN includes a new function called STABILIZE that is different from a simple sharpening filter. It tries to find a movement on the photo and to cancel it. That's why sometimes there are small artifacts on the opposite side of the movement, but it is really easy to deal with them with GIMP or photoshop.
To conclude : this tool deserves a try as it is free for 30 days.
It is very usefull for animals in movement (birds in flight, animals running ...), but it can manage movement of the photographer too.

A classic aviator's watch, with a Herbertz "Top Collection" folding knife. Older photo, dug out from the archives...
BTW, as the knife is single-hand operated and locking, it may not be carried under German weapons laws.
The watch is a monopusher, meaning the stopwatch functions "Start", "Stop" and "Reset" are all performed by one single pusher.
The movement is based on an ETA 7750, modified by Hanhart for the monopusher arrangement and relocation of the stopwatch minutes counter.

Le Tornado est la pièce maîtresse spectaculaire du Fenix. Composée d'acier inoxydable et dotée de deux escaliers en bois majestueux, elle est la dernière-née des constructions architecturales de Rotterdam. Conçue par Ma Yansong du cabinet chinois MAD Architects, la Tornado est à la fois une œuvre d'art et une plateforme panoramique. Située au cœur du musée, elle relie le rez-de-chaussée, le premier étage et le belvédère sur le toit. Au-delà de sa fonction pratique, les escaliers symbolisent le thème central du Fenix : la migration.
The Tornado is the spectacular centerpiece of the Fenix. Made of stainless steel and featuring two majestic wooden staircases, it is the latest architectural addition to Rotterdam. Designed by Ma Yansong of the Chinese firm MAD Architects, the Tornado is both a work of art and a panoramic platform. Located in the heart of the museum, it connects the ground floor, the first floor, and the rooftop observation deck. Beyond its practical function, the staircases symbolize the central theme of the Fenix: migration.
MLC Centre architecture cannot be overlooked. With elegantly contoured, stark white concrete, white quartz and glass, the façade presents itself as a handsomely moulded sculpture.
Harry Seidler AC QBE is a luminary of Australian architecture. Widely considered as the first architect to fully express the Bauhaus aesthetic here. The MLC Centre remains one of his most definitive works on the Sydney Skyline.
244m to antenna and 227m to roof. The MLC Centre was Sydney’s tallest building in Sydney from 1977 to 1992. It is currently the fifth tallest building behind the Meriton World Tower (230m), Deutsche Bank Place (240m), Citigroup Centre (243m) and Chifley Tower (244m). The tallest structure in Sydney is still the Sydney Tower at 309m.
Looking up at the award-winning Sharp Centre for Design at OCAD University in Toronto. Although quite striking with the 12 multi-coloured, pencil-like supports, I downplayed the colour as to highlight the contrasting shapes, angles, light and textures with this capture.

Europe, Aegean, Greece, Lesvos, Agia Paraskevi, Museum of Industrial Olive-Oil Production, Production hall.
Let's delve into the archives to visit a particularily intersting industrial museum: Lesvos' Museum of Industrial Olive-Oil Production.
From the website of the museum: "The Museum of Industrial Olive-Oil Production of Lesvos presents the industrial phase of olive-oil production in Greece. It focuses on the changes brought about by the introduction of mechanical motion on the process of olive-oil production and approaches the contribution of the region's inhabitants to the production process with sensitivity.
Its objective is to showcase Lesbos' industrial heritage in the sector of olive-oil production and incorporate it into the broader architectural, social and cultural context of the period. The Museum is housed in the old communal olive press of Aghia Paraskevi on the island of Lesvos. The buildings and the mechanical equipment have been restored in an exemplary fashion. Thus, you can observe how the equipment functions and how the factory evolved from steam power to diesel engine operation. At the same time, you will acquaint yourselves with daily life at the «People's Machine». "
As can be seen on the left of the frame is the vintage way of transfer of energy from the first phase of industrialization: a central steam engine that drives the production machinery via shafts and belts.
This number 51 of the Lesbos album.
Each rhododendron bloom is a gathered colony of small, near-identical flowers—delicate, deliberate, and designed to draw in early summer’s pollinators. Their symmetry has both function and grace.

A number of drastic adjustments were needed to give the castle a museum function. For example, a new, modern staircase in the former courtyard had to ensure clear routing in the castle. The staircase opens up the round corridors on the different floors

Ruurlo Castle is one of the most beautiful castles in the Achterhoek. The age of the castle is venerable. In the 14th century it was a fief of Count Reinoud I of Gelre. Jacob van Heeckeren, founder of the noble and distinguished knightly family Van Heeckeren, acquired it in the 15th century. In 2013 the castle was sold and converted into a museum

A grand function room falling into decay as time passes.
My 200th post on Flickr! Here's one of my favourite shots from one of my favourite local locations! : )
The Grand Palais des Champs-Élysées, commonly known as the Grand Palais, is a historic site, exhibition hall and museum complex located in the 8th arrondissement of Paris between the Champs-Élysées and the Seine, France. Construction of the Grand Palais began in 1897 following the demolition of the Palais de l'Industrie (Palace of Industry) to prepare for the Universal Exposition of 1900. That exposition also produced the adjacent Petit Palais and Pont Alexandre III.
The building was designed to be a large-scale venue for official artistic events. A pediment on the building refers to this function with an inscription that reads, "a monument dedicated by the Republic to the glory of French art." Designed according to Beaux-Arts tastes, the building features ornate stone facades, glass vaults and period innovations that included iron and light steel framing and reinforced concrete.
It is listed as a historic monument (monument historique) by the Ministry of Culture.
This wall stopped me in my tracks. It definitely has some stories to tell. It reflects repairs, changes in materials, changes in function, life through generations.
Spring returns to the Fobbing Marshes. So do we. Not that we've been away much. But if recent walks in sub-zero temperatures and fog were a test of endurance we now look forward to joyous (and wet) walks in temperatures trending upwards. And with the water courses flowing things are stirring and splashing so they need investigating. I'll leave that to Freddie. "Form and Function" as my very knowledgeable Flickr friend wheres_bruce calls it. I'm just hoping my waterproof boots are as good as advertised...

We've had a string of winter storms lately - good to be prepared and protected.

This is the river Arno and Ponte Vechio ! I've created this with my camera's "miniaturize" function.
Seville is full of these elegant and practical inner courtyards to apartments. I'm no architect but my understanding is that the Moors used this design to create a venturi effect in order to circulate relatively cooler air from the ground floor upwards.
Looking great in fresh paint, veteran S317 leads container train 1845 through Lithgow past the last-built member of the 81 class, 8184, in October 2015.
Streamlined bulldog and good looker S317 was about to turn 54 years old, while functional 8184, the newest of its class, was a youngish 24. The first of each class entered service in 1957 and 1982 respectively. 8184 was one of four additional 81 class built several years after the rest.
