camera toss plus processing = fun

 

my initial foray into programmatic sources for camera toss, see this photo for a better description.

During our last cold snap I got drawn in by the snow attached to one side of all these beech trees, so out came the ultra wide angle and this is the result!

I tested my new Laowa 100mm F2.8 2× macro lens, and this is the result. I used a metal kitchen whisk for the curves in the foreground with a few drops of glycerin, and behind it I placed a piece of gift‑wrap paper covered with curved, colorful shimmering patterns. The droplets acted like tiny lenses and revealed the curves hidden in the background.

 

I really appreciate all your likes and kind reactions on this photo, thank you!

We were at the gate when it opened and as we drove in we noticed two rhinos on the side of the road. The sun was not fully up and this is the photo that resulted.

 

This is my farewell photo from South Africa - tomorrow we fly out for home.

A favourite haunt of mine....

Shapes and forms just play differently every visit, and the pleasure getting results never quite intending or surpassing what you were trying is always a joy.....

This is the reflection of the front part of a yellow canoe that was resting on the bank of the river. Using a smidgen of punsters license, I decided to name the pareidolia head that emerged, Canute or Canoot after King Canute a Danish king of England 1017-1035. He is best remembered for demonstrating to fawning courtiers his ability to hold back the rising tide.

Thank you so much

A dip into the archive of last trip to Dungeness.

Great conditions, right loco, good company; what more could you want?

Well, to be honest, the tide in but if that'd happened I'd have had to quit the hobby on a high.

These are the days that make all the fails rankle a bit less!

I last photographed the Thames Barrier a little over a year ago, but became inspired to revisit the location after coming across an article about the 1953 North Sea Flood, which overwhelmed British sea defences in the Thames Estuary and led to the deaths of more than 300 people across several counties. It was remarkable to read that the gates protect not only the immediate East London borough against tidal surges, but also the infratructure, underground network and power supplies stretching beyond the O2 Arena, the Docklands and Tower Bridge and all the way to Westminster. In addition to this, the barrier now also needs to contend with the impact of climate change and rising sea levels.

 

With all of this in mind, my aim with this image was a darker, moodier and altogether more sinister alternative to my last take on the location, capturing the formidable size and scale of the barrier's piers at dusk, but also contrasting the peaceful flow of the Thames and the reassuring glow of the piers' evening lights with the foreboding tones of the evening sky.

 

The final image is a blend of a dozen exposures captured over two hours, starting with a 90-second exposure as the sun was setting and continuing into the evening, at which point the shutter speed had extended to 12 minutes. My intention all along had been to weight the emphasis on the later exposures, but I knew I would also be using the earlier and brighter exposures to enhance the lighting across the roof of the piers and the tones along the Thames. Having created Pen Tool selections in Photoshop for the barrier's piers, the sky and the river, I blended in portions of each of these exposures using a combination of Soft Light, Lighten, Luminosity, Linear Dodge, Colour Dodge and Screen blend modes. The goal at this stage was to bring out the reflective finish and dimensionality along the tip of the piers, to emphasise the glow of the lights inside the barrier, to produce a clean finish in the concrete at the base of each pier, and to brighten the water and darken the sky. After blending the exposures,

 

I applied a gentle radial blur to the sky and used Silver Efex Pro to lower its midtone structure and soften its texture, creating a subtle contrast between the piers and their surroundings. I then used Colour Efex Pro to add some minor tonal contrast adjustments, with a gentle Detail Extractor to bring out the gritty nuance in the piers. The final touches were a combination of a Gradient Map to emphasise the chilly evening tones and a Colour Lookup set to Bleach Bypass to desaturate the tip of the piers, which helped to bring out their metallic texture and to add some definition to their background.

 

The end result involved more planning and attention to detail at both the shooting and editing stages than my previous take, but it hopefully brings out the immense feat of engineering behind the barrier's design, as well as the rock-steady industrial strength of the barrier against a sometimes menacing force of nature, which was the aspect that inspired me to revisit the location in the first place.

63,000 students from 262 college campuses were surveyed on the topic of free speech. Here are the results:

 

30% of students say using violence to stop someone from speaking on campus is acceptable, at least in rare cases.

 

69% of students say shouting down a speaker on campus is acceptable, at least in rare cases.

 

23% of students say they often self-censor with other students on campus.

 

27% of students say they often self-censor during classroom discussions.

 

24% of students say it is not likely their school administration would defend a speaker’s rights to express their views.

This was the beautiful result following the cobweb creation, previously posted in this photostream, of my Actaea [Cimicifuga, Bugbane] which was quickly destroyed by local gusting breezes.

I must have had a lucky spider :-)

I somehow managed to delete this photo from flickr (thx very much Adobe!) so forgive me for posting it twice. It is a result of spontaneous Sunday experiment which turned out rather well. Even the fact that my car got broken into could not have dampened my mood. :)

Here you see why the Heron was guarding its domain with such ferocity. Within minutes of chasing away the anhinga, the heron lunged out of the tree it was sitting in, beat its extended wings thrice and plunged into the water - spearing the prize displayed here.

 

A few flips and turns and the prize slid down the throat - some other photos of this series are included in the comments below.

De sus ojos que no tengo

 

Vuela su mente, estalla la respuesta legal, nada impedirá

que la quiera por siempre, y aunque nada parezca ser,

necesito ser lo que necesite,

 

busco la verdad en el brillo de sus ojos,

de sus ojos que no tengo,

fulgurantes, implacables, como yo los imagine, como cada

paisaje en una transparencia de mujer, quizá desde siempre,

quizá para siempre,

 

entre un comienzo tardío por más que el frío se torne atroz,

necesito que su pose permanezca ahí, hasta el alba, cuando

las horas se vuelvan sermón y alguna flor terca simulada de

olvidos anuncie otra despedida plagada de tristezas,

 

todo es relativo, pero que increíble por donde lo audaz

puede resultar atractivo, que quizá así nos conviene que

sea... sin idolatrías, sin promesas, pero sin mentiras,

 

noche estelar envuelta en primavera, robándole

pequeñas fantasías a la vida... no permitiré que nada le

suceda, viva naturaleza, ilumínale el camino en este estúpido

mundo que aniquila el amor,

 

clamoroso instante de su personalidad indolente, genuina,

... palpando la jungla desde su nido, marcando los códigos

inventados desde una nada casi temible, con el surco de su

guerra en la espalda, trasponiendo los límites cuando las

bestias arrecian... ¿ que es verdad, que es mentira ?,

ya nada me importa,

 

bandera hermana, criminal de mi tiempo, diamante loco,

... vuelan los restos de la humildad inmaculada,

claro subconsciente que propone disfrutar mientras

busca ese sueño de juventud en su ofrendada vida, acumulando

sombras y luces,

... cuando el amor propone palabras para el

regocijo, siempre alguien tiene que perder,

 

solo intenta la felicidad mientras bosteza en su calle

natal, protegida, buscando ese placer que la haga mujer,

mordiendo sus miedos, mientras todo explota evitando

confundir dolor con poesía,

 

seré su aliado por siempre y cada vez que lo necesite,

seré ese amigo entrañable que escuchará su congoja,

nunca le abriré juicio porque nunca tendré derecho, nunca

seremos iguales más nunca pondré distancia, y cada día

podrá despedirme y cada día volveré para verla, feliz,

entre las mágicas frases del momento, con los fatales

roces de su nácar y sus raíces intactas,

 

solo se que soy distinto desde que la conocí, todo me

entregó, todo confesó, aceptando en el oído el placer de

la paradoja, y entre todas las murallas que le presentó el

momento, siempre hubo un paisaje triunfal para regalarme,

dejando el alma en cada atardecer muy bien digitado,

 

seguirá nuestra lucha hacia una vida mejor con todos los

fantasmas, con todos los pecados, y seguiré ahogándome

cada noche en el abismo de su foto tibia, sensual, casi

celestial,

 

intrépido carrusel de frases desinhibidas, que aumentan solo

al existir...fiebre que se sucede a cada instante hasta

sonrojar todo lo blanquecino, palpando esos orígenes

en busca de otro momento que la haga vibrar, que la

mantenga plena, que le dé luz,

 

adivinaré todos sus movimientos, conoceré todas las

palabras que nunca mencionará, y aún llena de secretos,

y aún cargada de misterios, será mi prosa del momento, mi amiga,

 

¿ Como olvidarla ?, si ha sido mi generadora de paz,

un perfecto guión en esta loca película, una foto más

de esa galería en estaciones que siempre quise ver y no pude,

un tobogán majestuoso que elimina todos los riesgos del

momento, una seducción anormal que al quitarle pudor

la naturalidad sigue vigente, una estrella fugaz que

nunca dejará de caer aún adormecida, un simple sonido

que siempre va a dar placer escucharlo,

una mujer con todas las letras que morirá

con sus convicciones todos los días y a cada rato,

 

y la tristeza invadió y fui débil para detenerla, y

los conceptos renacieron aún con la tranquilidad de

no saberla mía,

 

... que pena la lágrima que extraña!,

 

noche atribulante cuando la pesadilla termina en insomnio,

su flor no habrá encontrado mi mejor imagen, aún así,

aceptó hasta mi confesión y no supe de mi esperanza,

 

puertas abiertas las de mi alma, donde el único sostén es

la verdad, el cansancio hizo mella en el crepúsculo, y aún

así, la desconozco...

 

que pena me da, cuanto silencio,

cuanto daño se hace el cuerpo que no sabe su verdad!

 

y convirtiendo la tristeza en alegría seguiré visitándola,

y seguiré volviendo aceptando la alegría hecha tristeza,

 

siempre será mi amiga fiel, nunca más, nunca menos,

porque siempre seré su amigo fiel, nunca más, nunca menos.

I really enjoyed my day out in my white socks that I didn't want to take them off after getting back to the hotel.

Do you remember the other "Five Little Friends" image that I uploaded a week ago? This shot here was actually the first one which I took that day and the other one was the last one… In between both shots I have had a lot of fun and quite some amount of sugar ;)

 

I like some of the results very much. So I’m going to upload some of them from time to time… I hope you like them, too!

  

Strobist info: I used two 80cm x 80cm softboxes with two YN560III (triggered by a YN560TX). Each of them was positioned on one side.

Thinking of ordering PhenQ – wait till you have read this!

 

Trying to lose weight huh? Tell me about it. I have struggled with it for a really long time. After the birth of Evan, my second child – my body weight was all over the place.

After roughly two hours of walking through dirt and hills, along paths and forest floors, I'm surprised how clean they look. ;)

The rain stopped but still rather dull. More to come

i broke out my 50 mm out for the first time in months (i've been using my 35mm that autofocuses) and i really ought to use it more, i love the results

 

much love to paisley for always being such a willing and beautiful model, more of these to come soon

Banjo is in Smash!

 

Almost. It will be a while before we can play as him, but he is coming, and I’m thrilled. I made this guy a few weeks ago in between church camps, and I’m very happy with the result. I think the brick built head works really well in capturing the cartoony design better than a Chima head. I think Kazooie needs more work, I’ll probably change her in the future. Tell me what you think!

You can see a development error on display (particles in the midle) - ran out of Sulfuric acid, thus made my Permanganate bleach even weaker than usually. That gave me an idea to push this bleach to the limits - to bleach with this poor man's bleach without additional time for compensation. Result: a tad underbleached - just a tad and without any additional time! When the situation repeats itself, I'll add a minute or two of bleaching time and bleach to completion.

  

This tells me that I'm on the right track with using dilute (~66%) Bleach to begin with by mixing parts 1A + 1B (as in recipe) + 1 Water. This has the additional bonus of splitting Parts A and B nicely in 10 working solutions! And using dilute bleach means less frequent handling of angry concentrated chemicals.

 

So - dilute bleach is safer for emulsion, safer to handle and it saves on chemicals. Best part - bleaching time stays the same!

About 30 percent of my photos can be re-rippled to the point where I finally like their abstract-worthiness (even the photos I absolutely hate, originally!). :D
