Y este milagro de ser aquí la vida/...El milagro de verla, de sentirla/...asir lo que nos da, lo que contiene/para que vaya y vuelva con su música/de lo que soy a lo que eres/de tus palabras a las mías

After chatting with Darren Hopkins. and getting inspired on his amazing new take on the orb.Thought i would have a play with Orbs again. Not sure about them yet. think i need to iron out a few issues.

or if it's just a matter or perception
here! What do Y'all think?"

What seems so obvious to us, may not be true at all. Life can be what it is not; or what we don't think it is.

I got a wide angle lens for my birthday, and I thought The Dish would be a good place for an inaugural photo shoot.
Way-wide-angle lenses are so odd for the first time user. I had never even looked through one before, much less used one, and so I’m not sure if I have ever had this perspective before. It’s not quite intuitive to me. In contrast, a telephoto lens is familiar territory, like a telescope or binoculars, and macro zoom is like a microscope…
Wide is wild. It’s like de-evolving the vision system from predator to prey, from front focus to side vision.

Reflections on reflections, anamorphic distortion of the perception. Expanding perception over 180 degrees...
What had been a throw away shot, caught my eye today and I thought...What if?
So, I twisted it 90 degrees, and boosted the shadows and color. Now it makes me think about a different perspective.

“To be aware of a single shortcoming within oneself is more useful than to be aware of a thousand in somebody else. Rather than speaking badly about people and in ways that will produce friction and unrest in their lives, we should practice a purer perception of them, and when we speak of others, speak of their good qualities.”

Note: This image was taken for 'test' and 'review', purposely, under the worst lighting and weather conditions. Beside a colorless, overcast late afternoon, there was a gust of wind and movement such as shifting river floats and fast pacing clouds that cause ghosting in HDR images. None is visible here, but don't let the post-processing mislead you.

Welcome back. HDR Efex Pro has been around enough now to assume that we've all have our share of experience. Before we continue to get with the program, I’d like to mention a few things about human [eye] perception. However, if you’re a student of human perception or have a Gestalt-ian (deliberately throwing a grand German name here to make this review look as intelligent as humanly possible, and, maybe, just maybe, to grab your attention so that you stay with me throughout this most important guiding principles for tonemapping) vision and an eye that would make Stephen Spielberg bite his lips with an overwhelming jealousy, causing him to maybe even swallow his tongue, please skip this section. Above and all: If your image(s) are free of the following inherent problems in any form of photography and sure that they will qualify for the ‘standard market’ requirements (since most of us would like seeing our works published), then, by all means STOP READING! (not recommended). Time is precious so use it for more productive labor. Here are the most overlooked fundamentals that will cripple your ambitions and prevents you from entering the professional world which luckily still has a little room for the talented:
Your image is free of the following problems:
- Artifact Problems: Noise/Grain/Chromatic or other artifacts due to low light, blue or purple fringing, high ISO, halos, over-sharpening/saturated or post processing techniques (mostly in HDR images).
- Low interest subject: Probably little demand/selling potential for this image. Try for more marketable shots.
-Blurry: Image is not very crisp or is blurred when viewed at full size. 1:1 or 100%
- Snapshot composition: This image is more of a snapshot than a marketable image. Overall problems can include poor lighting, poor composition, non-interesting subject matter, etc.
- There is enough of this subject already...sorry. More unique images will help your images stand out from the crowd. Not another sunset, flowers, your dog or flags which are easy to shoot
- Hard shadows: Caused by on-camera flash. Try not to use flash, use more fill light instead. Flash often creates hard ugly shadows
- Exposure problem: Image is too dark or too light, not properly exposed. You may be able to try using 'Levels' control in Photoshop to fix depending on how bad the issue is.
- Poor composition/Cropped subject: Chopping off part of subject makes photo harder to use
generally
There are hundreds of reasons more why your image wouldn’t work, but these should suffice since they are the ‘gate kipper’ to the ‘Declined’ and ‘Accepted’ of the Art World.
But, I’m staying and keeping my course along with those who do. Who knows, maybe I’ll read your book where you call HDR Technology “an art form” (as sum-fellah did and got away with it; the very same person who recently blessed us with Nik’s HDR Pro Efex exaltations and asserted that HDRI was splintering…breaking and disintegrating into the realms of abyss. Impressive statement, ha? To me, it’s nothing more than a plain Forest Gump’s “stupid as stupid does-kind of assertion”) and not “a tool to combine artistry and technology to create High Dynamic Range Images”. That’s HDR-ly confused and messy…
Confused and messy? That’s right. HDR and tonemapping allow us, given the right set of exposure, to reproduce any tone and any color in an image in any way we choose. This may sound great and unlimited freedom in producing the ultimate image as close to human’s eye perception as possible, right? Wrong! This is exactly where one can face confusion with all of them sliders and stray away long from true-perception.
Are you still with me? Hope you are, Skipper. Because, I want this review to be as much a fun as instructive.
Perception. Seeing. Why is it so important?
When an artist looks at a tree, he or she sees details, light, shadow and reflected light as opposed to a normal individual who sees three as a whole. But, an artists who are born with innate talent and an eye sees more: If it’s Spring, he or she sees is green and pinkish blooms, contrast, structure, shade and details that make each leaf and the light that falls on them in three values: Direct light, diffused light (reflectance) and shadow (Luminance=3D form). But,
Confused, already? I don’t blame you. That’s only natural. We’ll stretch and flex underneath this phenomena.
Due to large files accompanied by also large text, they will not be posted on Flickr. To view the images and read more, you'll have to request a link which will be provided by mavenimagery. Thus, we will know who's really interested in this review seriously which will save us all the 'uselessly spent time and effort'.
Thank you

Somehow I didn't announce it on Flickr earlier, but better late then never, so...
This weekend I will be leading a Street Photography Workshop in Lublin, Poland. The main focus will be on the "street perception" itself - how to look at the city space and search for unique moments, how to connect the dots to create surprising new meaning. I will also be talking about useful tips and techniques, working on projects, editing photos to create series/stories, etc.
Friday will be the theoretical introduction, setting goals for next day. Saturday will be practical - shooting in the streets, but not typical photo walk. On Sunday we will be working on the photos from previous day. All this in the heart of the Lublin's Old Town, in the hospitable interiors of Twist Off Studio. The group will be small, only 6 people, so I can really focus on each person. And remember all the names ;)
I'm very happy to say, that the response was better then expected, and we have already almost full list for the next edition, which will take place in late October. I'm very excited and looking forward to this weekend - fingers crossed for no rain!
Here's a link to the Facebook event page: www.facebook.com/events/478529188833487/ (Polish only, sorry)
All this is possible with the help of friends from Twist Off Studio and Kaiser Soze Fundation - thanks!
