Macro Mondays Redux 2014 for theme "opening". This is the mouth end of a didgeridoo, an ancient Australian wind instrument.
Macro Mondays, Redux 2015 - Personal Footwear wasn't actually my initial choice as a "favourite topic" - in fact it didn't even make my list - but I've run out of time to shoot what I would have liked to for today's topic. Luckily Santa gave me a very festive pair of new shoes that seemed apt for the occasion.

There are prescription drugs which have the side effects of changing your sexuality and inducing a desire for gambling.
Yes, really.
Another of my old favourite composites given a REDUX facelift and a bit of a colour shift.
The before and after comparison is HERE

x1 AlienBees AB800 camera left and x1 AlienBees AB1600 camera right both shot through large softboxes to provide kicker light.
Photo from 1 year ago. What's missing this year? -- the bee. Last year I spent several hours sitting in my spiderworts with my macro lens and a flash to get this picture. The bees were everywhere. My spiderworts are in full bloom again but without a single bee. Perhaps our -13 F night here in Tulsa killed off our local colonies. Anyone else notice an absence of A. mellifera in their backyard?

Another one with the faux motion app effect. You know, it's the weirdest thing, these doctored still images you see around are like modern day equivalents of the Penrose stairs or M.C. Escher’s Waterfall. No contest in originality obviously, but much like them, these make you feel funny between the ears by just looking at them.
These are pretty big files and it'll take a while to upload them for viewing.
And yes, I am aware the snow goes upwards, but you know, I don't think it's snowing here. It's the fierce Hoth winds blowing it off the ground. :D
I recently inadvertently deleted many recent photos from my photostream. I've been trying to retrieve as many of them as I could - it hasn't been easy... Like this one, I've marked the 'deleted' photos as 'redux'. I lost all of the information that goes with a photo, including the faves and comments I received. I'm merely putting them back in my photostream so they are not lost forever. I've turned off the comments for each of them.
The original image was taken about a year ago (see small image in comment).
This was processed in Photoshop. Converted to duotone, applied texture, applied vignette blur (plug-in) and finally cross-processed (plug-in).
(Explored: December 10, 2008)
I've been a bit too swamped to process any of my recent photos (or to reply to my flickr friends, sorry!) so I figured I'd take a stab at Picniking a photo that Steve-h just commented on. (Thanks for the nudge, Steve!)

A new version of an old shot from 2008.
This is Lake Dunstan in Cromwell, New Zealand. We just happened to be driving by on a perfectly still day.
Updated redux of an earlier image.
I originally made this on a 30minute timetable.
I thought going back to clarify the scene would be worthwile so here it is.
For me it's the little things like definition of the waterfall, deeper textures on the wall, slight manipulations of the tones to create a deeper space.
Well, the vicious skies looked like they would dump and dump they did! At least they dumped enough so that they returned to looking like simple mammatus clouding all over again and here I thought mammatus clouds signaled rough weather but they never mentioned the skies I saw and just posted. Egad! TAKE COVER! I've had enough. This was taken from the path where I posted my first shot. Fortunately, there was little lightening, allowing me to find a tree for some cover.
Another year, another July the Fourth and a really serious sky be with you. I came up my new trek over to Roger's Grove for Independence Day fireworks past the medical dope dispensary. This evening;s sky served up a dandy fireworks show in itself. I thought that I would be able to stroll over to watch the evening's festivities but I had to stop several times at various spots to peruse the sky. I liked this spot near the bridge over the river because of the deteriorating cottonwood. What cottonwood isn't deteriorating?
This looks, sans cottonwood, like the impeding doom of yet another hurricane over Puerto Rico. The Dotard Donnie wants to nuke it before it get to the bed bugs at Doral but is frankly waiting for it to get to Puerto Rice before dropping the big one. That's right, two birds with one stoned Trump. Dorian, Doral and the Donald sounds like alliteration to me. Good match though!
And again, this aky is the announcement of getting climate hammered by carbon-spewing American industrialists. Will the Orangeman limit all fireworks to his own speeches and Bolsonaro? I sure hope I don't get hit by any of the fireworks: I am only on Medicare and the righties are into disassembling all American full-pay health care. The left-over Kochs buy their own health while serving up poison to the riff-raff.
I hauled along my medium telephoto-zoom that I like to use for light and fireworks shows. My sky shots were all going to be constrained by the mild telephoto. I figured the evening would replay the year I took shelter under a Roger's Grove tree during the heavenly sprinkle but this year. I never waited out the dumpage with a damp camera under my soaked shirt. Note to self, take a plastic shopping bag nest time.
When I originally took this photo, I tried to level the Fiat. That tilted the horizon. So I straightened the horizon and tilted the Fiat.
Which one is better? Is there ever justification for a tilted horizon?
I'm trying hard at the moment to improve my post-processing skills. As such, I thought it would be an interesting exercise to go back through my photostream, pull out some old images that I like, but was never happy with, and see if I can improve on them. All the "before" and "after" shots from this exercise - including this one - are posted in the "Image, Redux" gallery on my photostream page.
This was originally taken in 2008 in the Cotswolds, in rural England. The sunset was payoff for a long, cold trudge out to the middle of nowehere, before I learned to streamline my camera kit. Hopefully this time around I did the image a little more justice!
Lots of detail -- not to mention the cows! -- gets lost in the medium size. Best viewed large.
Tonemapped in Photomatix, then re-blended with the original -2, 0, and +2 EV images in PSE.

After I posted my Math Compass photo for Macro Mondays (theme was Rule), I felt that it could have been done much differently. Since I just can't wait until the end of the year for the possiblility of a MM theme of Redux, here it is...
A different take on a past post.
Neat thing to contemplate...
The Ericsson Globe Arena, known locally as "Globen" is the largest hemispherical building on Earth and took two and a half years to build. Shaped like a large white ball, it has a diameter of 110 metres (361 feet) and an inner height of 85 metres (279 feet). The volume of the building is 605,000 cubic metres (21,188,800 cubic feet). It has a seating capacity of 16,000 spectators for shows and concerts, and 13,850 for ice hockey.
It also represents the Sun in the Sweden Solar System; the world's largest permanent scale model of the Solar System. The Sun with the inner planets are found in Stockholm, but the outer planets are situated northward in other cities along the Baltic Sea. The system was started by Nils Brenning and Gösta Gahm and is on the scale of 1:20 million.
And yes, we did ride in one of those gondolas to the very top of the "sun".
