The entry to the Palace of Pavlovian Delights is here. It's a nice facade. Lots of detail. Fun things to look at if your like architecture.

Juniper pollen fills the air to the saturation level that looks like humidity or pollution, but its actually pollen. When the wind blows one of the male trees it looks like its on fire. At first we thought there were prescribed burns going on, turns out its just pollen.
Ineke Lam from IVLOS joins the Bazaar Team for a drink to discuss the possiblity of organising a conference/ seminar event with Bazaar.
I was in a workshop all last weekend. The place the workshop was held was just across the street from the Hand Built Bicycle Show at the Convention Center.
Finally, during lunch break on Sunday, I couldn't stand it any longer and headed over to the show. I went up to the window to buy a ticket and started counting out my change. D*mn! It costs $18 (yes, EIGHTEEN BUX!!) to get in and all I had was $12 and twenty minutes. No joy.
So, instead of oogling all the great stuff inside, I wandered around outside and snapped a few images. There was some fun stuff out there.

A bit underexposed.
Difficult places to shoot with the trees and the sun not always the way you want them.
All pose bright red
And witheringly enticing.
Be still, oh shivering recently
Unemployed fingers.
Money can not escape
The wallet if there was none
There to begin with.
Afterall, the economy is
Sound, says the Boy Emperor
I wanted to take a moment and show the difference in output between two of the tone-mapping filters in Qtpfsgui.
This image was created using Mantiuk. You can see the parameters below. While this isn't exactly "dazzling", it does have some things that are attractive about it to me. I like the sky tones and the way the highlights are handled off the very very bright sunlit metal and glass.

I didn't quite "nail" this shot. But it's a test of an idea. For this, I like the way the colors and shapes play off each other.

After dinner recently my wife and I wandered down the street and got to view a few really fun store window displays. These are great shops to wander through. And to attrack folks in they tend to do outragious things in the windows.
I love the colors and artistry displayed by the local talent.

Just bought a 24mm around 5pm and rushed it to papago park while the sun was setting to take the first pictures with it. Pollution was a bit high that day. Not too sure how to change the Phoenix Brown Cloud to without a lot of work so if anyone can point me to a tutorial, gimp or photoshop, that would be cool.
After working inside with artificial lighting, we moved down the road to a favorite site. Working out of doors under natural light was a challenge. I needed to find somewhere that the sun could be controlled. So we worked predominantly in the shadow areas.
For this series, I am working in muted colors and layered mono-tones. I hope these strike the right balance between the typical styles that folks tend to shoot in, and something that bubbles up through the multitudinous layers of my artistic being.
Walking back from lunch this week I spied some rather interesting leaf configurations. It's been very wet around here, and being this late in the Fall season, the leaves are loosing their definition.
For this series, I treated the leaves to a little qtpfsgui, further modifications in the Gimp (including tone sampling and contrast controls), and made sure these "said" what I wanted them to "say".
For some reason, I just love working with life in miniature like this. Everything isn't a huge steam locomotive, is it? :-)

I was struck by the vertical-ness (I know, there's no such word) of this structure. After a bit of AEB HDR tone-mapping I realize, once again, this is how the scene "feels" to me when I stand waiting for the bus home.
Napa was lovely. The weather was just about perfect. The utilikilt caused enough havoc that I'm sure the town has yet to recover. Poor sods. LOL!!!
This image was processed from a stack of three images (+/-2EV, 0EV), put through Qtpfsgui, and then further processed using the GIMP. I have left the Qtpfsgui parameters in place, but please remember; these were just the starting place and the Gimp further modified the original source images.
