By Kielder Water, Northumberland.
An Image I took in 2009, re-worked using Photoshop 2020 and Topaz Studio software (DeNoise AI, Sharpen AI and Gigapixel AI)
Canon EOS 400D with 75-300 IS USM 400 ISO 1/300th sec f8
Snowflake 935 – Close-up
This requires posting separately, as many people would not properly be able to dive into the details of this snowflake. Just the heart of it, also featuring one of the adorning crystals resting on top. In something so small there is an unending level of detail!
One of the benefits of shooting with a higher-resolution camera is the ability to capture incredible details. Because this snowflake was so large, I was able to use lesser magnification – this is important! The higher your magnification, the smaller your effective aperture becomes and the more likely you are to lose details due to the limits imposed by diffraction. This was shot with my Lumix S1R and the Canon MP-E 65mm 1x-5x macro lens and Yongnuo YN-14EX II ring flash. My best snowflake results have been from this combination of equipment.
The focus stack of this snowflake was over 80 images, allowing for complete focus from everything tip-to-tip. I'm not sure how many would have covered this cropped section, but it was a monumental effort. The editing process took 14 hours, with a lot of additional time spent on the faceted rime. These areas are very volumetric and transparent, which confuses the heck out of all focus stacking algorithms. Plenty of manual corrections were required here.
The finish touches are always important, and one element I have been adding into the mix this season has been the use of Topaz Gigapixel AI, in a controlled fashion. Because snowflakes are mostly geometry, it’s relatively easy to sharpen up the lines. The software “guesses” at details, and it doesn’t always get it right. I flip the AI layer on and off and make adjustments to areas that don’t match what’s expected of the original snowflake. It works to overcome some slight detail loss from diffraction or optical issues, but it cannot be let to run the show. It’s amazing how far we’ve come to continually push against the limits of physics with technological advancement.

While in Sydney our son took us to Bondi beach where we saw surfers. Then we walked up the hill to the south of the beach and saw a whale watching boat about a kilometer out to sea which probably used sonar to find a whale. After a minute or two the whale came up for air. The little inset show the boat and whale at my maximum telephoto (300mm) and the crop I did in PS is the larger picture on left. On right is the Topaz Gigapixel AI version. Seems to have sharpened the whale and boat but not sure about the new waves. I just have a trial version of this artificial intelligence program at present.
And yes, I need all the intelligence I can get :)

- Forza Horizon 4
- In-game photo-mode
- Postprocessing done in photoshop
- Upscaling done with GigapixelAI
Had an itch to play some racing games lately, and since I play FH4 in the microsft store I cant hotsample, so I also tried out Topaz Gigapixel AI to get some more detail going on. I think it was worth it.
It might not be a nuvolari forza shot, but I like how it turned out.

"Made in the Shade" is an old expression for saying that
something was easy to do, and/or went really well...
...and produced a good result. *
This piece of "abstract reality" actually took me quite a bit of effort:
cropping the image for composition, sliding a lot of sliders
for saturation, contrast and sharpness, and finally
running it through a AI pixel interpolation software to make it sharper at larger image sizes.
So...actually, it was not "made in the shade," but I like the result.
* Possibly from a (now politically incorrect) children's nonsense rhyme:
"ice-cold lemonade, made in the shade, stirred with a spade, by an old maid."😵💫
