Metro Montage XXII, 2022, is a juried exhibition which runs through September 4th. As in previous years the show is being held at the Marietta Cobb Museum of Art, which is located just a block off Marietta’s Square.
This images is included in 2 galleries:- 1) "Great Photo`s 17" curated by Daren Rose and 2) "Talking Heads" by Radoslav Besenyi.
This image was taken at Healesville Sanctuary.
Emus are native to Australia and are found across most of the country. Being the second largest living bird, the emu is more than 1.5 metres (5 feet) tall and may weigh more than 45 kg (100 pounds). They can't fly, but they can run as fast as 40-50km per hour. Emus enjoy eating plants and occasionally insects. Male emus are dedicated parents, preparing nests for their chicks and caring for them after hatching.
Healesville Sanctuary, formally known as the Sir Colin MacKenzie Sanctuary, is a zoo specialising in native Australian animals. It is located at Healesville in rural Victoria, Australia, and has a history of breeding native animals.
The little rubber device makes an awful high squeaking noise. It is able to strike terror into the heart of our little Morkie, Pearl. Sugar, our Cheadle, seems to be unfazed. Amanda, a human, covers her ears as the screeching persists. We use it to disabuse our pups from barking at everything that passes outside. Half effective… or not.
The Pixel's portrait mode offers a whole new range of possibilities with a camera phone. It is not perfect. Unlike its night sight mode, there is a good deal of noise in the blurred background. Not too noticeable with images viewed on a phone but further processing was needed before I was going to share them here. So, noise reduction in Nik Dfine was used on the backgrounds and even gaussian blur in one. The blur is added well in these but I shot a couple where it was added erratically. Sometimes parts of a background between leaves is as clear as the leaves. And, in the white flower one here, the edges of the petals were not smooth (why the gaussian blur).
Cheagles rule and this one plants herself pretty much where she wants to. Not posed, I was across the room and saw her jump onto our couch. When she settled in I went over and took about eight or nine photos. This is the best of them.
I don’t know why the fuzzy “halo” is next to Sugar’s head. It is not an object behind her. I used primarily Afterlight on this shot.
Handmade, mohair.
No real artistic merit, just a casual snap to demonstrate the feature. Indoors shot with iPhone 11 Pro Max in Portrait Mode (52mm), normal indoor LED lighting in the evening.
Where I chose to focus and how much headroom will affect the bokeh simulation. In-phone editing software, adjustable parameters include Black Point, Definition and Keystone in addition to various normal parameters but all are global in nature only. The range of edits we can do is a fair bit more than what we get from in-cam editing of current ILCs of any brand.
By tapping the screen or on each control during edit, I can review the before vs after edit effect(s) and adjust accordingly. Even after I’ve saved the edits, I can still choose to Revert to the original. Shadow lifting is rather good given such a tiny sensor, likely due to the large amount of data captured thanks to Deep Fusion stacking?
What I do find impressive is I can change Lighting and Aperture post shot. This shot was taken with Studio Lighting selected, auto Aperture was at f4.5 but post shot I changed it to f1.4 for more background blur.
The f-stop is just a bokeh/DOF simulation as I can narrow or widen the f-stop post shot from f1.4 to f16. It is of course not perfect and can get confused but it’ll undoubtedly get much better in future versions. By being perfect I meant absence of obvious mistakes, not esoteric arguments such as smoothness/falloff of transition zone. Bokeh balls are also decently simulated.
What is natural looking bokeh is afterall a specious argument since our eyes don’t see bokeh on their own. Attractive bokeh however is fundamentally about deemphasized background to allow the subject to stand out. With sophisticated 3-D ToF sensors and algorithms, perhaps one day the expensive and bulky fast Prime lenses will become obsolete and maybe even expensive APO Primes as well. As Night mode gets better, fast lenses for low light will also be unnecessary.
It may take a while yet to get there for serious photogs but for casual snappers, this is already good enough. I won’t be giving up my FE 85mm f1.4 GM anytime soon for instance but I’m now disinclined to plonk down too much $ for exotic Primes. Perhaps one day even f4.0 ILC zooms is good enough to simulate f1.2 bokeh with ToF sensor embeded. The silly ergonomics chant of Nikon fanbois influencers, the best ergonomics is in fact the slippery eel form factor of smartphones simply because it can easily fit into our pockets like no other camera can!
Ultimately, the smartphone does not even need to be as good as a proper camera. For the majority of the casual snap shooters, the latest high-end smartphones are already more than sufficient.

The garden pansy is a type of large-flowered hybrid plant cultivated as a garden flower.
Viola wittrockiana
For simplicity, the older name Viola tricolor var. hortensis is often used.
English common names, such as "pansy", "viola" and "violet" may be used interchangeably.
Veilchen (Viola)
The name "pansy" is derived from the French word pensée, "thought", and was imported into Late Middle English as a name of Viola in the mid-15th century, as the flower was regarded as a symbol of remembrance.
The name "love in idleness" was meant to imply the image of a lover who has little or no other employment than to think of his beloved.

Terrific tripple combo isn't it :-D
I was just passing by this shop and was attracted towards its old, shinny, rusty stuff so I took few snaps.

The theme for this week is cellphone. Because they suggested to use cellphone apps to create the picture, i used the selective color filter in my phone camera's portrait mode, and then I added the frame and sparkly decor in the KVAD Photo Studio app. I'm happy with the final result.
