LA Staples Center. Aug 8, 2013
Best night of my life, and probably the best b-day I've had (even though my b-day's the 9th lol)
Gotta say, I'm very happy with the photos I managed to get, I wasn't sitting the closet to the stage haha.
Surprisingly, the tiny border town of Boquillas, Mexico has two restaurants. I've eaten here a few times, but never at the competition across the street... which José's owner said is run by another family member, but "she doesn't cook like I do!"
Or so it seems that spring lasted around here. Back to winter - snow expected tomorrow.
But I discovered a new way to waste time in Photoshop. Camera Raw lets the user selectively adjust portions of the raw file. In this case, I dropped the exposure on the entire image by almost a full stop, then brought just the crocus back up to the original exposure value.

Well, it was bound to happen at some point. The rain and a lazy Sunday left me with very little option but to get in front of the camera for once.
Since I am about the least photogenic person I know, it isn't too often that this takes place. So, to at least get something out of it, I just wanted to toy around with a couple different one light setups to pick a shot from.

Another one of the six wooden statues that stand in a circle nest to Tintern station. This one features Offa who created Offa's Dyke that ran along the boundary between England and Wales. He ruled the Kingdom of Mercia between 757 and 799.
View under one of the arches of Pear Tree Lane viaduct, looking up Parkhead Locks at junction of the Dudley No. 1 & No. 2 Canals.
A five shot (hand held) HDR image.
The canal, started in 1776, under the direction of Thomas Dadford Senior and opened in 1779. It was extended to the Birmingham Canal via Dudley Tunnel in 1792 (under Act of 1785). The canal went from Tipton Junction, where it joined the BCN, through Dudley Tunnel, to Park Head Locks. The Dudley Canal Line No.1, officially closed in 1962. Dudley Canal Tunnel Preservation Society formed on 1 January 1964, and provided boat trips through the tunnel. In January 1972 Dudley Borough Council agree to contribute half the cost of restoring the canal and in September it was officially reopened.
The viaduct, the original wooden viaduct, sometimes called the "Seven Bridges", was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
The viaduct spanned across the canals at Parkhead and was built for the Oxford, Worcester & Wolverhampton Railway. They were absorbed by the Great Western Railway in 1863. In 1877 the Great Western Railway authorised the spending of 7000 for the reconstruction of Parkhead viaduct in brick.
A tender of 9400 by a Mr. C. J. Smith of Westminster Chambers was accepted on 2 May 1877. The brick viaduct was built around the wooden one. A contract was awarded to Phillips & McEwan of Dudley for 1,000,000 bricks for the construction. It was to be finished by December, 1877. The Great Western Railway board agreed on 9 November, 1878 to purchase the mines under the new brick viaduct for 250.00, and approved payment of 50 to the Birmingham Canal Company on 24 th November, 1878 for land in connection with the viaduct.

A true classic amongst mid to late 20th Century street lighting lanterns, but sadly now a dying breed. The first example of this then revolutionary street light was unveiled in 1955, with production continuing until the 1980s the lantern changing very little in design over those years. The sodium lamp inside is sealed within the acrylic ‘Opticell’, preventing insect and particle ingress, but the weakness was the vertical glued joint between the two halves that made up the Opticell, which was prone to fatiguing, eventually failing and allowed water ingress. It’s odd because some of these lanterns remained good and water tight, while others gave up the ghost after a few years. As low-pressure-sodium lighting is swept away from Britain’s streets, so with it will go the last remnants of these iconic roadside classics.
This example is in A1 condtion.
I changed Aika into one of the new tiny little outfits I bought. I didn't want to put her into boots, but figured out I could make Kelly doll shoes & socks work so, YAY! (even though my Nari Pons are probably not happy about it). I tried to repaint Aika's eyes, but it didn't look right so I just removed what I did & stopped before I ruined her, so red eyed she stays. I also figured out which Kaiser stand works for them, so I am slowly getting them stuff.
Australian rail freight operator Genesee & Wyoming Australia (GWA) finally has a new name and logo. It will be renamed One Rail Australia following confirmation of the acquisition of the remaining 51.1% interest in GWA by Macquarie Infrastructure and Real assets (MIRA) and Dutch pension fund PGGM.
The deal was originally supposed have been settled concurrent with the sale of US-based Genesee & Wyoming Inc to Brookfield on 31 December 2019, but has been delayed reportedly for legal and administrative reasons. MIRA and PGGM previously acquired the other 48.9% of GWA in 2016.
The new entity will be rebranded One Rail Australia with a new logo, although the distinctive G & W ‘bumble bee’ livery of orange and black will be retained for the immediate future.

Linkin Park: One Step Closer
Don't worry, I am not about to break and I if I am one step closer to the edge then the edge is nevertheless still far away...
However this song came to my mind when I was cutting ths edge to my hair. And so I thought I might as well use this together with my screaming face (which has somehow become a classic in the meantime...)
What it took: In order to get the one step closer to the edge of good taste I used a combination of famous techniques here.
In RAW I boosted the clarity to 100 % which already starts to emphasize the contrasts (of wrinkles especially) and desaturated the picture. This kind of processing is inspired by the famous Andrzej Dragan whose style might be the most copied of modern times (Just google "Dragan" and look for the picture results...).
However the outcome was still not sufficient so I used a technique presented by here by Russell Brown (my favorite PS teacher. In this video he however presents a processing style from Calvin Hollywood, whom I also adore for his skills. So now you know it and I have done my task of cross referencing. Just take every style you like in a mixer, blend it and voilà.
Maybe you dare the full size?
See the previous pic to see how I got rid of the hair...
Went out a couple weeks ago and shot some BTS video for Noah Sahady and also took some pics. Heres another one! Let me know what you think!!
