Thank you Jessica at Faestock
A lost soul that cannot leave this earth, wanders the decaying halls of the place she once called home so many decades before. Her bones, the only reminder that she was once flesh and blood.
It also goes to show that ghosts can still have great taste in shoes ;)
Big ships sail great seas
but small boats go undetected in the white mist.
Subtlety of sound sprays past the dreams of men on the water,
and carries them away to a place unknown.
Our own water runs out of our ears for a chance to join the rushing ocean.
We let it slip past our lips, undigested, into a wave, curling, crushing, and lost.
And in those moments, where men cry at the storm picking up sails, throwing down fury, we call out for help that we may not be lost among the wreckage.

Not really but it is how I feel when I watch the news sometimes. The recent riots in England, sparked by nefarious, anti-immigration, bad actors of Right-Wing parties have shown how widespread Disinformation is on social media platforms like X (twitter). Watch Media Watch for the full discussion on the crap that was broadcast there as well as the rubbish shown on Channel 7 here in Melbourne.

Spreading disinformation is rife but there are people who act on this crap, causing real societal problems. We ignore it at our peril.
For those interested in the photo it was taken underneath a bridge where the waters reflected the pillars and concrete. A little bit of overlay manipulation to give a more interesting effect.

This has just gone in as my current personal favourite. And to think I nearly binned it early on as I couldn't get it to work. I wanted to use one of my Dartmoor backgrounds that I'd posted just a day before this image was uploaded, but couldn't get a theme going that I liked.
As is the way with these things, there was an advert playing on the TV in the background about the preservation of Tigers. The lightbulb went on - and it made me think about another Tiger that went extinct - the SabreTooth. Much photoshop later, this is the end result :)
Please criticize this photo, whether you like it or not! I'm ready to hear it. Thanx so much , have a great day ;)

It's a photoshop time!! A composite image from a few of my shots! I composed this because i love this sunset sky, but the landscape of that photo is not satisfying me. So i think better do something about it than i just thrash that photo :)
The duck said "I believe i can fly" , but the iguana said "I believe i can eat you!!" :D

Here's a little "behind the scenes." I extracted these photos from the one picture I took shooting in RAW. The RAW format file has the entire range from light to dark. From this you can extract as many pictures as you want. "Reshooting" the shot by adjusting the settings and saving out that particular image. Change the exposure, temperature, etc. to get a quicker shot like A or a longer shot like D. Most cameras take in all this info but based on the camera's settings it only stores a small portion of what it sees... like, say, shot B. The rest of the information is dumped and lost as the photo is saved as the JPG on your memory card.
Images have a standardized "range" of 256 shades of grey in each channel of RGB (Red Green Blue), together producing millions of beautiful colors. High Dynamic "Range" refers to the much greater range beyond 256 that the RAW contains. However, because 256 is the standardized number, in order to be displayed on the computer monitor, the web, or in a program, even my HDR image has to follow the rules, and only be 256 shades in each channel. This requires some adjustment, and indeed ALLOWS for some reworking of the image. I pick and choose what parts I want, and what parts I don't want. I dont want dark buildings, I like seeing the details. I like seeing the gradient of color in the sky instead of being blown out. These are some of the decisions I get to make when producing a more dynamically spliced together image using this great range of information stored in the RAW file.
So the word "dynamic" refers to multiple things (to me anyway). It refers to the way programs can dynamically access and reshoot your shot. And it also refers to how the information stored is used by the photographer to dynamically build a nonlinear image.
Philosophically, this is really no different than how early film photographers spliced together, edited, cleaned-up, and reshot photos in their darkrooms. Computers and digital photography have just enabled everyone to go that much further in having fun with their hobbies. This is why you see Mr. PlumpChump playing around and experimenting with it.
It certainly gives me a strong respect for how amazing our eyes are. They are able to see a range FAR broader than the meager 256 shades.
Hopefully the 256 standard will be increased to 512 or 1024 someday to closer mimic what we really see. =)
..... in-camera frame manipulation. THIS IS A TEST, THIS IS ONLY A TEST - a dreadful edit/mess - I'll post the others in more of a RAW TRONA IPHONE FEED. ;-} They run from one into the next, and the 'extremely abstract narrative' runs in cycles of three (many won't be as abstract as this image, however).
This all started in my doc's waiting room (nothing good/redeeming/non-virulent/ad nauseam, ever comes from such a place ;), and me playing with my ipad, iphone, and a book of French symbolist poetry (triangulation experiment... ;). On my old iphone (even though I still occasionally write about tech, I stubbornly hold onto my old, antiquated toys for some reasion), I started stretching image frames, overlapping, yep, one into the next, and editing and recombining, sort of doing a live remix with these ridiculously [inappropriate Czech expletive] iphone images. [e-sigh> I make my own fun..... ;) and it was/is! So, soon the deluge. I may keep them up for 23 minutes, who knows.
Thank you (for reading this far if for some reason you have, and..... ;) for stopping by.
It feels like such a long time since I've done a composite with a real person as the main subject, set in a virtual scene. Well, I remedied that recently in a series of images for a friend of mine Tim, who wanted a couple of portraits doing. I wanted to make sure they weren't your common-or-garden variety portraits.
We shot Tim in the studio against a seamless grey background using a pretty standard 3-point lighting rig of AB1600, AB800 and an Einstein 640. The background was rendered out through Daz Studio and bolted together in Photoshop CC.

WANNA, APLUSPHOTO ,ABIGFAVE, ALTERED UNIVERSE, IT'S MAGICAL
this is actually 5 photos put together...they are my daughter's shadow on the white front door tweaked a bit to make this interesting shadow play in rgb

Something a little more baroque and gothic.
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.

Thanks to DeviantArt for photoshop brushes and some background elements.
Got a big burst of creativity this evening... Feels kinda good, haven't felt like that for a while. I have many ideas in my head now :)
Thanks so much to Regorio for inspiring me to try a style very different from what I usually do!
And also thanks to Regorio for telling me how he achieved his images!
