* Recreating Isaac Levitan (1860-1900) Challenge - June 2020 - LINK HERE
In this challenge we pay tribute to the tremendous contribution that Russian artists have made to impressionist and realist art.
For this month we choose one of the most iconic Russian landscape painters Isaac Ilyich Levitan (1860-1900) who advanced the genre of the "mood landscape".
Isaac Levitan (Исаа́к Ильи́ч Левита́н) work was a profound response to the lyrical charm of the Russian landscape, created the special variant of the "landscape of mood", in which the shape and condition of nature are spiritualized, transmuting the states of the human soul.

I had a nice christmas present, this photo of Dizzie Gillespie was sold for good money ( not the pittance the agencies give you) to a New York jazz club and is on their wall )
John Birks "Dizzy" Gillespie (/ɡᵻˈlɛspi/; October 21, 1917 – January 6, 1993) was an American jazz trumpeter, bandleader, composer, and singer.
AllMusic's Scott Yanow wrote, "Dizzy Gillespie's contributions to jazz were huge. One of the greatest jazz trumpeters of all time (some would say the best), Gillespie was such a complex player that his contemporaries ended up copying Miles Davis and Fats Navarro instead, and it was not until Jon Faddis's emergence in the 1970s that Dizzy's style was successfully recreated [...] Arguably Gillespie is remembered, by both critics and fans alike, as one of the greatest jazz trumpeters of all time.
Gillespie was a trumpet virtuoso and improviser, building on the virtuoso style of Roy Eldridge but adding layers of harmonic complexity previously unheard in jazz. His beret and horn-rimmed spectacles, his scat singing, his bent horn, pouched cheeks and his light-hearted personality were essential in popularizing bebop
In the 1940s Gillespie, with Charlie Parker, became a major figure in the development of bebop and modern jazz.He taught and influenced many other musicians, including trumpeters Miles Davis, Jon Faddis, Fats Navarro, Clifford Brown, Arturo Sandoval, Lee Morgan, Chuck Mangione and balladeer Johnny Hartman.

Recreating Andy Warhol Challenge - July / August 2020 (*) by Daniel Arrhakis (2020)
*Recreating Andy Warhol Challenge - July / August 2020 - LINK HERE
Andy Warhol (1928 – 1987) was an American artist, film director, and producer who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as Pop Art. His works explore the relationship between artistic expression, advertising, and celebrity culture that flourished by the 1960s, and span a variety of media, including painting, silkscreening, photography, film, and sculpture. Some of his best known works include the silkscreen paintings Campbell's Soup Cans (1962) and Marilyn Diptych (1962), the experimental film Chelsea Girls (1966), and the multimedia events known as the Exploding Plastic Inevitable (1966–67).
The figure of Andy Warhol alone conveys from the outset what Pop Art really is: the broom-shaped hair, the big, round glasses he sometimes wore, his own clothing or even his way of showing the artist and art in one.
Born under the name Andrej Varhola on August 6, 1928 (although there are uncertainties about this date), in a working class family from Slovakia, in 1945 he entered the Carnegie Institute of Technology, where he graduated in design. He started by professionally getting started in commercial illustration and from a very early age he was seen as a controversial artist.
Working most of the time in his studio on the fifth floor of 231 East 47th Street, in Midtown, Manhattan, which he called The Factory, it was in this space that he brought his works to life.
The Factory, became a well-known gathering place that brought together distinguished intellectuals, drag queens, playwrights, Bohemian street people, Hollywood celebrities, and wealthy patrons.
He authored numerous books, including The Philosophy of Andy Warhol and Popism: The Warhol Sixties.
He lived openly as a gay man before the gay liberation movement.
The Andy Warhol Museum is located on the North Shore of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is the largest museum in North America dedicated to a single artist. The museum holds an extensive permanent collection of art and archives from the Pittsburgh-born pop art icon Andy Warhol.

On November 16, 2017, the CRR 800 was coupled to the Clinchfield 100 business car for the first time since the early 80's. Here with the help of the local operating team, we spotted the train to recreate a famous photo that hangs in the Kingsport, TN yard office. This was done at the request of the local supervisor, and we were only happy to accommodate!

6 years back I went to this place and took a same image and was very proud of that. But with passing time and with more gathering of knowledge as well as improvements in equipment; I started thinking that the same image I was proud of is not that special anymore.
This year when I went back to Namibia; I needed to recreate that wonder. So what changed?
1. Doesn't matter the camera, doesn't matter the lens; a single exposure none tracked image will always have some noise and the star will never be a perfect dot. This was dead clear to me after a lots of attempts, lens and camera. The only way to get noise free and dot star image is a tracker. So comes the Benro Polaris. Why Benro Polaris? I have a Move Shoot Move and that can do the same work. But the polar alignment in the southern hemisphere is not that simple. There is no bright Polaris star there to help and that is where the automated Go To star feature of Benro Polaris does the magic.
2. Again; doesn't matter the camera or lens; those purple Hydrogen Alpha colour just can't be recorded by a normal camera. Again after many reading and experiments it was very clear. So I made an astro mod of my old Nikon D850; which I stopped using for last few years in favor of the video feature of the R5 / R5C. So a perfect option of getting the right thing done. Now this is a big deal for someone living in a small Swiss town. Yes nature is great here; but uncommon technology is not really that much handy. So I needed to send my camera to Germany. The company I have send to don't ship to Switzerland as the import process is complex and no one want to pay tax on a used camera. But it is not so easy to explain to Swiss customs. Hence, sending it with a colleague and bringing it back with him while he was reallocating to Switzerland was a thing on itself to only find that none of my manual Samyang lenses would work as the focal plane of the camera shifted slightly and any lenses with hard infinity wouldn't work as the actual focus would only happen past that infinity point. To get it fixed I needed to send back the camera to Germany again. It was not possible as I only found that a week before my travel to Namibia. Yes, unfortunately people living in Switzerland are not so lucky with frequent dark skies (lots of rain and cloud) to test an astro setup. No I am not complaining; those cloud and rain are also fantastic for photography; just not so good for frequent astro photography. So I had no time to send it back and get it fixed. Luckily the auto focus lenses work perfectly as they have a bit of buffer after infinity and has no hard stop. So I got a Sigma Art 14 F1.8 and a Sigma Art 28 F1.4. Fantastic lenses. I am glad that I bought them.
3. Every fantastic landscape astro images you see are in one way or another composites. Because you can't track the star and have the foreground from the same image. If you are not tracking you would stack multiple images and if you are taking only one frame; honestly; it will never be that good due to not a perfect dot star and high iso noise. So if I need to composite; I will do it as I see it in my head. Important for me was that it should come from the same place and not the sky of Namibia with the beach of Honolulu!
The image processing started.
I have taking 3 * 8 minutes exposures of the rock arch with minimal light painting and a red light in the middle to replicate my old image and it was taking with a Canon R5 and Samyang 10 MM Lens. So that I have enough sky.
I have also taken one 1 minutes exposure with ISO 3200 with R5 and 10 MM Samyang to photography myself in the image to get a human element portraying scale. It was hard to catch my breath and not move for a minute. But after few attempts I did well.
But while I was capturing all these; just in front of the rock I had set the tracker with the astro modified Nikon D850 and Sigma 28 MM F1.8. It was set for 16 * 4 minutes exposures ISO 400 F4. And finally I have taken 4 dark frames after I was done with the foreground shot and the light frames were captured.
I have also repeated the same sky shot with the Sigma 14 F1.8 with the exact setting. I will publish that image later.
Finally I have blended the sky image separated by stacking them with Sequator and processed the start and Milkyway separately using the StarXTerminator. And later adequate amount of stars were put back with basic photoshop technique of layers and selections.
The longer exposure foreground images were stacked and dust and scratch filter to remove the hot pixels. The shorter 1 minute exposure was used to blend myself (the human subject of the image) into the image and finally the sky was taken and added to the image from the 28MM tracked and stacked D850 image.
And here comes the result of it.
Now after 6 years; this is my new favorite. I am pretty sure that in another 6 years; I will find better way to make this image. But for now I am pretty happy with what I have got with this.
What do you think? Please let me know. This was my first attempt on many things (the tracker, the astro modified camera, the lens was also new); so I am happy that I could pull this out without messing up and the Namibian killer wind didn't disrupt this rather long process of capturing one image.
I must give a shout out to Vikas Chander. Who is an excellent astro photographer and honestly; a lot of my motivation to do some proper astro photography came back after watching some of his stunning images. Not that he really helped me with the process and the image capture or something. But if it was not his great images; I would have probably not gone through all those only for astro images; which is like 5% of my overall landscape photography portfolio. So thank you Vikas Sir for showing us those great images and motivating me to take the stares to the next level!
Right; could have probably written a book on this and I am not sure if anyone would read this. But I had to mention the process, story and massive preparation that went behind this final image; which will probably be seen by 50 people and that too a quick 15 milliseconds glance. But hey; I don't do this because I expect to be Leonardo da Vinci. I do it because I like it and that is what I will encourage to all the photographers. Don't do photography for likes and loves and favs. Do it because it is a fantastic art that will at the end give you utmost pleasure. Do it because you would love to see those moments of your life.
And yes; at least in this image one can't fight Canon vs Nikon. This image is as much Canon as it is Nikon. And it was done intentionally just to have fun. :)

Recreating Cruzeiro Seixas (1920-2020) Challenge - November / December 2020
For the recent death of this Portuguese surrealist master on November 8, 2020, we want to pay a very special tribute to the Painter and Poet Cruzeiro Seixas (1920-2020) through a contest recreating his surrealist imagery in our Recreating Masters Group.
Artur Manuel Rodrigues of Cruzeiro Seixas (1920-2020) was a "man that paint " like he called himself and Portuguese poet, activist of the artistic movement Surrealism in the mid-twentieth century. He study in the School of Decorative Arts António Arroio, where he met Mario Cesariny .
In the mid 1940s together with Mário Cesariny, António Maria Lisboa, Carlos Calvet, Pedro Oom and Mário-Henrique Leiria, among others, he joined the group "Grupo Surrealista de Lisboa". Participates in the exhibition of this group in 1949 (1st exhibition of the Surrealists, Lisbon).
Considering that the fantastic surrealism visible in his work, had as main inspiration the work of the artist De Chirico. Cruzeiro Seixas is the author of a vast work in the field of drawing and painting, but also in poetry, sculpture and objects / sculpture.
With an unmistakable style, composed of strange and lunar landscapes populated by ambiguous beings, Cruzeiro Seixas' place is fundamental for the affirmation of Portuguese surrealism.
In the words of the artist - "We reinvented surrealism in the time [of the dictatorship] of Salazar, when there was nothing in Portugal. The hunger was so great and there were no books. Nothing came here. But we were reinventing. There were extraordinary ideas, especially in the field of painting ". (*)
"Today, the world is very poor, because there is nothing to compare to a period when we needed to invent something", underlined Cruzeiro Seixas, insisting on the revolutionary character of surrealism. Nothing had surpassed him since then, he said. "We are all desperate looking for a new idea". (*)
(*) Excerpts from an interview to Lusa in 2008 and in 2011.

One of the raison d'être for Galas is to recreate events of the past which most do very well and here we have a peak on a local service having arrived from Bury heading off to run round in the sidings at Ramsbottom.
This was very much a scene from the West Country or the North East where short 4 coach trains were part of the everyday back in the 70's and 80's.

One of the nice things about coming home is sharing holiday photos.
The truth is that this was taken at home. There was no chance to take a picture like this on holiday so it had to be recreated. It's worth some artistic licence, no?

Recreating Time Challenge- September / October 2022
Our new Challenge in Recreating Masters Group - Now Open :
* Recreating Time Challenge - September / October 2022 - LINK HERE
Time in art can be actual time or implied time.
The theme of time has often been in which painting from the different ages of man, many paintings are devoted.
"The chronological representation of time through devices is just one part of a broader and more dynamic notion of time whose effects are felt at a biological level, but also in the evolution of societies, in the succession of events that marks the history of nations and the world.
But time has also always had a mystical symbolism as in the line of life, between the moment of birth and the moment of the end and therefore of death. Throughout the life of societies, time is marked by its destiny and by the temporal moments that mark the great personal and universal tragedies or the great deeds and transformations.
Time thus has, from the beginning, a mundane but at the same time universal and divine dimension. "
