over Mountains
over Trees
over Oceans
over Seas
across the desert
I'll be there
in a whisper on the wind
on the smile of a new friend
just think of me
And I'll be there
Don't be afraid, oh my love
I'll be watching you from above
And I'd give all the world tonight,
to be with you
Because I'm on your side,
And I still care
I may have died,
but I've gone nowhere
Just think of me,
And I'll be there
On the edge of a waking dream
over Rivers
over Streams
through Wind and Rain
I'll be there
Across the wide and open sky
thousands of miles I'd fly
to be with you
I'll be there
Don't be afraid, oh my love
I'll be watching you from above
And I'd give all the world tonight,
to be with you
Because I'm on your side,
And I still care
I may have died,
but I've gone nowhere
Just think of me,
And I'll be there
In the breath of a wind that sighs
oh, there's no need to cry
Just think of me,
And I'll be there
I'll Be There

Using Gimp, I started with floral photo, shaped it into a sphere, distorted top of sphere to give egg shape, added shadow and gradient background.
This is a lot harder to do than it seemed when I read the tutorial - especially if you're like me and don't have very good hand-eye coordination. I could have spent the next couple of days clicking around the paws and still wouldn't have got it right! You're supposed to add a 3-D frame to the photo, but that is well and truly beyond my current abilities.........however, it was a challenging and fun project to work on while I wait for a spell of "photographer's block" to pass.

i found a diary underneath the tree
and started reading about me.
The words she've written took me by surprise
You never read them in her eyes
They said that she have found the love she've waited for
Wouldn't you know it
She wouldn't show it

Another quick dabble with frequency separation technique to smooth skin. It is quite easy to overdo it, and I think I've done that here. More practice methinks :)
To be honest, I'm marking time at the moment. Sarah-Jane and I are doing some new shots this week hopefully. So I can fine tune this technique on some new material.
You can see the before and after HERE

I put together this composite for the Make it Interesting Challenge Group. The target image of the penguins was provided by pareeerica, and the tropical scene is a shot I took from the deck of a home our entire family had rented for a week in Hanalei Bay, Kauai.
This photograph marks a huge turning point in our family's life. In the early 1970s, I was selling real estate, a job that I loved and was doing quite well at. However, I worked every weekend and many evenings, and I was clearly becoming an absentee dad and husband, and it was having its effect on both me and my family. If I took a day off, it was during the week when the boys were in school, and in the summer time, my wife, Sammy, brought them to her parents' farm in the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts, where they had a wonderful time and for sure learned the value of hard work. But. of course, dad was not a part of that scene; he was home selling real estate. Then one day while Sammy was back east, I was talking to her on the phone and asked her when she and the boys were coming home, and she said, "what difference does it make? You're never home anyway." That did it! I was wrestling with getting out of the business anyway, and that statement, along with a lousy real estate market at the time catapulted me out of the business fast.
So, what does that have to do with launching model rockets? Our son, Greg, had started building the rockets on his own, and the first weekend I was home, we finished one up together and brought it out behind the local high school and turned it loose, and what fun we had! Well, there was some sadness, too: The rocket rose to over 1,000 feet, and the parachute deployed just like it was supposed to, but we hadn't factored in the wind; and we stood there, a bit choked up and teary eyed, as that beautiful rocket drifted northward, over the Greenbrae hills and into San Rafael, never to be seen again. At least not by us. I guess you could say that was the first weekend of the rest of our lives because from then on weekends were filled with fishing, camping and all sorts of good family times, including lots more rocket launches. There's no question that I'd have made more $$ if I had stayed in real estate than I did in my succeeding occupation, but at a cost that I wasn't willing to bear and, to me, that first rocket launch has always symbolized the point at which our family became a family again.
Needless to say, this will be added to my Our Life Story set. Check it out and let me know what you think.
Perhaps someone can help me figure this out: Most of the fruit, being nearly round, comes to rest in random orientations, The Delicious apples in the center basket, though, show a strong preference for ending upside down. Why do you suppose this is. And let me ask this of my friends in the Southern Hemisphere: down there, do they come to rest right side up? The world is full of riddles, isn't it?
The full version is HERE
This shot became an interesting experiment in the art of Frequency Separation. It's a cool technique where you create two layers to work on. One layer is just the colour value and the other is just the detail. Detail separated from colour/tone makes retouching a much less daunting prospect.
I opted to tackle this one like full-on beauty retouching to see how much I could eradicate any unwanted lines and furrows. I think I've still got a lot of practising to do - but I kinda like the end result :)
I then composited the shot in the usual way, using the rendered bar scene I used from an earlier shot.

Here is a photo that I was having issues doing an emulsion lift with. While the photo was in a water bath I noticed during the process the image had a wrinkle effect. I stopped what I was doing and immediately applied the photo to watercolor paper. I love how the wrinkles give a look of age to the photo. Image was shot with a Polaroid SX-70 using Impossible Project PX70 V4B Test film

there was a lot of noise in this photo, as it was underexposed in the process of trying to hold the highlights, and restoring details enhanced noise, as well..
I used Photoshop to blur the background and, upon converting to LAB color mode, I used a technique outlined by Dan Margulis in his book on using the Lab Color mode in Photoshop CS2 to drive the colors to smoother cleaner richer extremes, then pull them back from the brink, creating dramatic rich colors.
LAB color isn't a photoshop exclusive, and it's Quite possible that other programs can pull this off easily.. all that was required was layers and curves, after converting to LAB color mode from RGB mode, to get these colors..

Sorry, forgot the before and after - here it is.
More wizard action. Our heroine poses for a movie poster moment. Not so much Hogwarts, more like Hogwash :)
You know, now I look at his finished comp, I'm sure I could have shoe-horned more into this composition. It is certainly the most 'movie poster' of the comps I've ever done. Well, I had a blast nailing it together anyhow :)

This is a composite, and all three of these shots were taken on the same morning in the Corte Madera, CA marsh. The duck (two shots of the same duck) was photographed against a drab background, and those images would have simply been deleted if I hadn't come up with this colorful marsh setting to move them into.

Another relatively simple portrait. Most of the images I've done recently are fairly muted. Because of the red dress I thought I'd give this one a little more 'punch'.
My model Sarah-Jane is shot against a neutral grey background and composited into the scene.
All backgrounds are themselves composites of various elements to create a 'hopefully' dramatic theatrical quality.

(BEST VIEWED LARGE)
Excavated from a strata composed entirely of compressed 19th/20th Century public service stationery request forms this exceptional multi-species fossil has proved an epiphany for Bureaucratoligists.
Dr. John Vaaler, interviewed in his Oslo office, commented: "This changes all our views concerning the life cycle of the binder clip. It had hitherto been assumed that the smaller paper clip was the youthful form of the mature binder clip. In fact, the savage scenario played out in this unique fossil reveals that the paper clip is an entirely seperate species that actually preys upon the binder.
It is apparent that the mature 'bulldog' binder clip was being attacked by a pack of hunting paperclips. In a similar fashion to the now famous Pom-PayDay site, where an entire civilization was buried by an eruption of payslips and timecards, it appears that a cataclysmic explosion of an overloaded photocopy tray overwhelmed the struggling combatants in an instantly lethal but ultimately preservative paperclastic flow.
Furthermore, the fossil demonstrates that the gallant Bulldog clip's last battle was not one-sided. To the right of the main conflict grouping can be seen the remains of one imprudent paper clip (designated "Clippy") that fell victim to the Bulldog's cornered wrath. Straightened in death its untwisted body bears witness to the immense power of the Bulldog's formidable jaws. One less Windows Office Assistant to plague the world!
Good Science will always bow to new facts, and we are more than happy to have our wings clipped in such a revelatory manner."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Um. This all seemed like a sane idea at the time.....think I'll file it with the rest of the truly bewildering ones. Now, where did I put that paperclip...?
Fun Facts With Paperclips! For the unenlightened, John Vaaler, a Norwegian, was one of many people variously credited with inventing the paperclip, in his case in the 1890s. Because the paperclip was (wrongly or rightly) attributed to his country it became a semi-covert symbol of national resistance against the Nazi occupation in World War II, when the little gizmo would be clipped to shirt collars and lapels as a show of solidarity. Who knew?
No wonder that MacGyver would later proudly use it to continue the fight against the forces of naughtiness!
