Here is the second of the images from the Marginal Way.
This is actually one of a series of long exposure bracketed shots that I used in a pretty over the top HDR a couple of years ago. In my mind I had decided that I wanted to get back to this spot and take a long exposure black and white but the tides have to be very specific to fill this channel here and I could never get the timing right. As I was going through images the other night I don't know what I was thinking, I already had the shot on my hard drive it just needed different processing...
This is just about the polar opposite of how I had it before and it kind of shows how my tastes have changed over the last couple years.
While processing this image I also feel justified now in having spent thousands of dollars on a 24-70 and 70-200 that covers the same ground as my old kit lens. I like this image a lot BUT at full size there is a tremendous difference in the sharpness and detail in the rocks between the 18-200 and the lenses that I use today.
Hope to be out to grab some new images soon. Maybe even some color!
Hope had nearly fled me when I saw some punk in a clown motif bringing groceries inside an apartment complex. An odd sight, even for Gotham. I made my way to the roof across the street and did some reconnaissance. It seems there was a whole nest of these turds living together. Being the new neighbor, I thought it was best to introduce myself.
One of the thugs went up on the roof for a smoke. I made my move, throwing him over the edge. I admit, I hesitated before firing off the grapnel.
"I don't know anythiiiinnnngg!!" It's funny, but you never get tired of hearing tough guys cry like babies. I gave a tug and his pants started coming down. Probably shouldn't drag this out.
"WHERE IS THE JOKER?!"
"I don't knooooowwww!!" I yanked the line again, letting him swing against the building, smashing his head into the brick.
"WHERE IS HE!!"
"I swear to God man I don't know!"
"SWEAR TO ME!" I let the line slack, dropping him another 15 feet before reeling him back up.
"I work for Harley, she.. she left here the other day.. haven't heard back since. Please that's all I know, let me down!" That was about all I was going to get from him.
I started pulling the sobbing baby up when the door behind me burst open. With my hands full I was unable to prevent his buddy from smashing me with a molotov cocktail. Flames consumed me, I cut the line and leapt over the edge myself, hoping the wind would fan out the flames. It didn't. With the cape out wide I tried to slow my descent but the cape had been torn first by the man eating plants, and again from the jagged glass of the school window. In a panic I fired a grapnel, which caught the ledge, but slammed me into the building. I landed with a hard roll and shed the remains of the cape. Staggering, I nearly tripped over the dead clown's body as I made my way to the Batmobile. I nearly died tonight because I wasn't prepared. I won't let that happen again.
I backed out with the Batmobile and glanced up, the molotov cocktail hadn't just hit me, but the apartment complex as well. The police can handle the remnants, I have work to do before facing Joker.

مصيبه ان كنت في نظر نفسك
Out of Focus
إن تعلمك التركيز على نفسك بدلا من الآخرين
ربما يكون مفتاح النجاح الذي كنت تنشده
اذا كنت ممن يقارن نفسه بالآخرين
ثم تشعر بالاحباط السريع
فينبغي التوقف عن هذه العادة السيئه
فالمقارنة لن توصلك إلى ما تصبو إليه
بل على العكس فبدلا من أن توصلك إلى النجاح المنشود
فإنك ستصطدم بالإخفاق والألم المترتب عليه
أما عن الخيار الأفضل فهو أن تركز على ذاتك واحتياجاتك ورغباتك
فأنت انسان فريد ينبغي أن يكون لك منهاج خاص بك في الحياة
صدقني هذا سوف يساعدك على تحسين صورتك الشخصية أمام نفسك أولا
ثم أمام الآخرين لأنك تركز على تطوير نفسك
بدلا من محاولة التغلب على شخص آخر في سباق مجهول
كلمات اعجبتني
اذا بدأت بتقييم الناس, فانك لن تجد الوقت لتحبهم

1. Levels adjustment - overlay 100%, then layer mask to exclude the adjustment on the sky, as this I felt was correctly exposed.
2. Levels adjustment - overlay 45%, then layer mask again to exclude the sky.
3. Duplicated the background layer and did a High pass filter at 45% to add more clarity to the shot.
4. Merged the layers.
5. Cloned out some buoys, signs and a boat or two!

I nearly got chased by the owner of the business...asking me why I was taking photos. People are becoming rather paranoid these days.
well i got bored in the end and started messing around with the make up then I changed into this outfit to go and walk the dog in the snow.
unlike me the dog is not stupid and refused to go out for a walk so it was just me didnt get far it was too blooming cold lol
It's a while since I used the glassless Kenko extension tube set on my 85.0 mm. Always a challenge to use, but I love the soft effect they produce. I used 2 out of 3 rings here.
Made out of completely organic material, this Speeder, controlled by Kari Arke, glides through any terrain going nearly 260 MPH. It can go as high as 30 feet off the ground with built in ray guns in the front and a 3-Power engine in the back. No one seems to get within a mile of her or they will face some serious issues.

Keira is home from college for the summer so they take the chevy out on a wonderful & warm afternoon.
