Marion hunts for Indy in the Well of Souls. This isn't officially a scene from the movie. I just wanted to play with the torch and show the Star Wars Easter Egg :-)
I lit the torch with a Brickstuff LED and then removed the wire in post processing. Marion was kind enough to stand surrounded by snakes while I took the photo :-)

After a week when temperatures across the UK have hovered above a sweltering 30C/85F, I found myself longing for the chill and fog of early spring, and revisited a shot which I captured at the centre of Richmond Park in early April. On many mornings I'd hoped for calm conditions that would bring heavier fog, and before this particular sunrise the low wind speed and near-freezing temperature near the Pen Ponds created fog so dense that, for a couple of hours, visibility dropped to about 20 metres. As the sun finally crept above the woodland and created various shades of orange and pink on the horizon, I came across the bare branches of an oak tree, and next to it the remains of a broken tree trunk, part of which now lay on the ground. Something about this scene captivated me, so I stopped to capture it.
The image is a blend of seven bracketed exposures, and proved to be a fun editing project because of the contrast between intense foggy light around the sun and deep shadows covering the trees and foreground. I began by blending my exposures using luminosity masks, bringing up visibility of the tree trunks while toning down brightness around the sun. I then refined my own masks in order to select and intensify the fog in the background. This was achieved by duplicating the blue channel in the Channels Panel and using a Levels adjustment to increase the channel's contrast between Darks and Midtones, effectively removing the trees and grass from the selection. After extracting the highlights around the sun using a selection from my Brights luminosity masks, I was left with a selection of just the foggy background, where I blended in my brightest exposures using a combination of linear and reflective gradient masks.
Colour-grading the image was very straightforward, as the mixture of early-morning blues across the landscape and intense warm tones in the sky only needed a little emphasis. Using Colour Balance adjustments with Apply Image as a layer mask, I gave the midtones and shadows a colder finish, and targeted the brighter area around the sun to increase the reds and magentas in the highlights. Setting two low-opacity Colour Lookup adjustments to Soft Light, I then used the Foggy Night preset for the foreground and the Soft Warming preset for the sky.
Using Nik's Colour Efex Pro, I brought out a little of the tree trunks' texture using the Detail Extractor filter, and at the same time softened the detail in the sky using the Sunlight filter, which helped to bring out the hazy glow across the scene when I'd captured it. While I thought that viewers' eyes would gravitate to the sun emerging between the tree's branches, the tree and the trunks among the fog were what drew me to the scene, and I felt it was important to try to emphasise their weathered texture and, ultimately, their "character". There was something hopeful about the colour spreading across the horizon as the sun rose, but at the same time something poignant about a scene that seemed to tell a story of nature's brutality and illustrate how certain things, once broken, can't easily be healed or repaired.

I’m standing at the end of a short roadway which appears to have been part of the on ramp for eastbound vehicular traffic across the MacArthur Bridge. The steel support structures for the old pavement last used in 1980 are being removed. The bridge now only supports rail traffic across the Mississippi River. The bridge originally known as the Municipal Bridge was built in 1917.

/ POOR ENGLISH
Macro 1X by focus stacking using the focus ring control
How do you can do it :
Ingredients:
-Nikon D600 + 105mm macro nikor 1X
-Helicon Remote control for automatic focus stack using the camera focus ring (using USB)
-Helicon Soft Focus Stacking (36 shots, Method B, R = 4, S = 2)
-Helicon You can download a free trial for 1 month, or a license for a year for € 50, it controls almost many Nikon and Canon via USB. There are other suppliers of soft for stacking, p. ex. Zerene, ControlMyNikon or Canon, Combine Z, etc.
-optional: 3D (Up Plus 2) printer to manufacture light bulbs, brackets, desk, etc. You can use the friendly 123D Design (free soft) for pieces designing.
Recipe:
-Ilumination with 4 or 5 micro-LED bulbs. The lighters can be designed and printed using a 3D printer and then mount the LED´s (high brightness and 5300K), the power is 12VDC for groups of 3 or 4 LEDs. The advantage over use of flash, is that you can positioning the lights and lighting make up before shooting, in addition to the volume to be achieved by playing with these lighting.
-Shot photographs using, p. eg Helicon Remote. Helicon controls the approach to the movement of the focus ring before the photo shot, the whole process of taking pictures is automatic, you can watch videos on youtube
-For 1X do you needed 20-100 photos, depending on value of f, focal and deep of field needed, automatically calculated by the soft. Often used the sweet spot of the lens (usually in the vicinity of f5.6) to optimize results
-Now we stack of shots using Helicon Soft
-We can use Lightroom or the like to remove "halos" and "artifacts"
-Once you have practice, the whole process can take 15 min
-And sorry my English, please.

The light is on inside this kiosk but the telephone equipment that used to be installed in it has been dismantled and taken away. Many examples of the famous K6 kiosk, which was in production from 1936 to a design by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, now enjoy statutory protection as buildings of special architectural or historic interest. This particular kiosk, at Tickenham in North Somerset, isn't listed, but one that is can be found just a couple of miles from here on Clevedon's sea front. Some similarly redundant kiosks in this part of the world have found new uses, for example to house emergency defibrillators or as miniature lending libraries. Hidden in a dip below the hill that is just discernible through the gloom, the M5 motorway ascends to the Wynhol Gap before threading its way through the Gordano Valley. Photograph made Monday 23rd November 2015.
Update October 2016: this photo is no longer "on" in quite the same way because the light inside the kiosk now fails to illuminate. I'm glad I took the chance when I had it.
Heritage revealed. We can't hid the Conrail heritage of this pup, but even further back, we have it starting its existance on the New York Central. I'd wanted to do some night photos of this for awhile, and finally got to it. Some graffiti was removed in Photoshop.

I have been sitting on this one for several months now. One of my Flickr friends posted a shot like this last year and ever since then I wanted to get one for myself! The Experience Music Project is located beneath the Space Needle in Seattle, Washington. It is supposed to look like a giant spaceship, although it also sort of looks like a blob from above. Supposedly, no two metal panels on the skin are the same. They are different colors and some are painted. I have another shot from several years ago here:http://www.flickr.com/photos/fresnatic/3615022937/in/set-72157620727257333
I was standing near this entrance for almost 45 minutes contorting my camera on my tripod to compose this shot. I really liked how the metal formed these rivers or even waves of golden shapes.
This is three exposures (-2,0,+2) merged and tonemapped in Photomatix. I shot with my wide angle lens, around 10mm. I moved into Photoshop and removed some specks of noise. I did final sharpening and noise removal in Lightroom.
Thank you to everyone for your support. My previous two photos have hit Explore and have really brought a whole lot of new Flickr friends to my photostream. I apologize if I don't add you as a contact as I have quite a few friends that I currently follow. When I do have free time, I do like to explore my contacts' photostreams.

Eleonora's Falcon adult flight_w_002109
Eleonora's falcon is a mainly insectivorous species that every year returns from Madagascar to breed on Mediterranean islands and even on the easternmost islands of the Canary archipelago. During the breeding season, however, it feeds almost exclusively on small migratory birds that it hunts over the sea when they travel to their wintering quarters in Africa.
The migration route has been recently discovered and, contrary to previous suggestions, it has been demonstrated by satellite telemetry to be inland through the African continent. Traditionally it has been suggested to be coastal, with birds from the western end of the Mediterranean flying to Suez before flying south down the Red Sea, and across the Horn of Africa. However, recent satellite tracked animals by Spanish and German researchers have demonstrated an inland route through the Sahara Desert, the equatorial rainforests until reaching Kenya and Mozambique. The total distance covered during the flight has reached up to 9,000 km (5,600 mi) for a single one-way trip.
It has also been recently observed catching and imprisoning small birds, removing their flight feathers and feeding them, sometimes days later, to their young. This is unique among bird species.
Koda the Magnificent, and I have made it back to Colorado. We traveled from Arizona, through Utah, to Colorado. Every stop along the way, was met by the local bait and haters. These are the Village Idiots. They are rallied, and eager in wait. Mobbing, blocking at gas pumps, registers, and any area we may venture to; provoking. Some call it Gang Stalking or Community Mobbing. I call it Ignorance and Hate. Take a good look at this country today. We can thank our legislators and corrupt government agencies, for the state of our nation. Yep folks; keep electing 70-80 year old, career legislators and presidents. Their greed, lies and corruption, are what have gotten us here. Both parties!
Gang Stalking is real. These are deplorable acts of hate, harassment and intimidation.
Thanks for visiting our photostream

The skies looked pretty innocent when I headed out to the local road end. When I got there the wind was howling and the skies were spitting rain. I had to touch up the photo a bit to remove some rain drops. The best photos seem to come when you least expect it.

Taken down by the river opposite the Shard, The two pillars used to form a dock a but it has been removed and now these are the only two structures left. It was taken just as the tide had got to its lowest and it was still a fight to walk across to that part of the river as it was very wet and slippery but i think that the walk was worth it.

1) Reduce noice on all 3 raws.
2) Create HDR in Photomatix
3) Blend using Exposure Fusion, sliders set to produce the most natural looking image while still showing some detail in the very dark areas.
4) PS smart sharpen.
5) PS burn the bottom
6) Nik Brilliance and warming
7) Nik Indian summer to warm th elights, masked to not affect the rest.

The Saskatchewan Legislative Building was built between 1908 and 1912 in the Beaux Arts style to a design by Edward and William Sutherland Maxwell of Montreal. The Maxwells also supervised construction of the building by the Montreal company P. Lyall & Sons, who later built the Centre Block of the federal Parliament Building in Ottawa after the 1866 Parliament Building was destroyed by fire in 1916. Piles began to be drilled for the foundations during the autumn of 1908 and in 1909 the Governor General of Canada, the Earl Grey, laid the cornerstone. In 1912, Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught, by then the serving governor general, inaugurated the building.
People enjoying a boat race on Wascana Lake north of the Legislative Building circa 1910.
The design contemplates expansion of the building by the addition of wings extending south from the east and west ends and coming together to form a courtyard. The plans originally called for the exterior of the building to be red brick but after construction had begun and red bricks were already on the site, Premier Walter Scott decided that Manitoba Tyndall stone would give the building greater grandeur and the plans were adjusted with the substitution increasing the building cost by $50,000. The total cost of construction came to $1.75 million by the time of its opening in October 1912, ten months after the assembly had begun meeting in the yet-uncompleted building.
Of historical significance, the table that was used during the meeting of the Fathers of Confederation in Quebec City in 1864 resides in the building's library, albeit with six feet of it removed. Lieutenant-Governor Edgar Dewdney of the North-West Territories brought the table to Regina, which was the capital of the territory at the time. It was used in the offices of the Indian commissioner for Manitoba and the North-West Territories until 1896. Six feet of the table length was removed from the middle so that it could fit within the limited confines of the Prince Edward Building, the temporary home of the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan while the Saskatchewan Legislative Building was under construction.

lamb bhuna recipe www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKjk3gEi8PI
the meaning of 'bhuna'
an Indian dish or sauce in which spices are dry-roasted in a pan and then combined with a moistening agent such as yogurt or water.
the word 'bhuna' refers to the cooking method of this dish, and means 'to fry' or 'fried'. usually the spices are fried gently, before adding the meat.
originating in bengal, bhuna is a hot curry and doesn’t come swimming in sauce. it’s usually a thick sauce, with just enough to cling to the meat.

A few months before Malaysia Airlines removed their Boeing 777s from service, I caught this one taking off from the Polderbaan at Schiphol.
Vischering Castle (German: Burg Vischering) in Lüdinghausen, North Rhine-Westphalia is the most typical moated castle in the Münster (region) of Germany. This region has one of the highest German concentrations of castles, palaces and fortifications, Lüdinghausen having three by itself. The castle consists of outer defensive courtyard, defensive gateways, moat, drawbridge, main building and chapel. The sandstone walls, the red tile roofs as well as their reflection in the moat provide many harmonious views from the wooded surroundings.
Vischering Castle was built by Bischop Gerhard von der Mark to counter the second castle built by the Von Lüdinghausen family. It became the seat of the Droste zu Vischering Family. Droste is the local title for the hereditary noble administrators serving the Bishops of Münster. The moat is constantly replenished by a side-arm of the River Stever. The outer defensive courtyard contains the business and farm buildings. The main building is a horseshoe-shaped three-story structure with heavy outer wall. Its inner courtyard is closed off by the chapel and a lower defense wall. A castle keep is missing, having been removed during Renaissance renovations. Fire destroyed the castle in 1521. Rebuilding took place on the existing foundation. Windows and the addition of a large bay made the castle more liveable but diminished its defensive character. The whole site however retains the character of a feudal age moated castle. Damage from air attack during World War II was minor.
Vischering Castle houses the Münsterlandmuseum, an exhibit on knighthood for children, as well as a cafe-restaurant. It serves as a cultural center for Kreis Coesfeld. Visiting hours are provided in the first link below. Viewing the outside is possible at all times. The second link provides a more detailed chronology of the castle in German.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Die Burg Vischering ist eine münsterländische Wasserburg am nördlichen Rand der nordrhein-westfälischen Stadt Lüdinghausen. Trotz eines fast vollständigen Neubaus im 16. Jahrhundert hat die Burg ihren wehrhaften Charakter weitgehend erhalten. Unter den zahlreichen Burgen und Schlössern des Münsterlandes ist sie eine der ältesten und besterhaltenen Anlagen.
Als Trutzburg durch den Bischof von Münster in der zweiten Hälfte des 13. Jahrhunderts gegründet, entwickelte sich die Burg zum Stammsitz der Familie Droste zu Vischering, deren Eigentum die Anlage heute noch ist. Der Name Vischering wurde für die Burg aber erst ab der zweiten Hälfte des 14. Jahrhunderts gebräuchlich. Bei einem Brand im Jahr 1521 wurde die Anlage weitgehend zerstört. Sie wurde bis 1580 wiederaufgebaut und gleichzeitig im Stil der Renaissance erweitert. Nachdem die Eigentümer ihren Wohnsitz 1690 nach Schloss Darfeld verlegt hatten, war Vischering lange Zeit ungenutzt und wurde nur von einem Rentmeister verwaltet. Nach Beschädigungen im Zweiten Weltkrieg und anschließenden Wiederherstellungen pachtete der damalige Kreis Lüdinghausen die Burg, um sie als Kultur- und Bürgerzentrum zu nutzen. Dazu wurden von Beginn der 1970er bis in die Mitte der 1980er Jahre umfangreiche Restaurierungsmaßnahmen an den Gebäuden durchgeführt.
Die gesamte Anlage steht seit dem 8. Oktober 1986 unter Denkmalschutz und beherbergt heute unter anderem das Münsterlandmuseum. Außenbesichtigungen sind jederzeit unentgeltlich möglich.
Adjoining the Court of the Grated Window is a similar structure that is more monastic in character. The Court of the Lindaraja owes its name to the prominent open air observation point on the southern side of the Palace of the Lions wall.
What then would seem to be an open air garden below is in fact enclosed by the three rooms of the Emperor’s Chambers, with arcaded galleries on the ground floor making use of columns removed from other sites in the Alhambra. The affect is cloister-like, which is further enhanced by the design of the garden with its fountain in the middle.
Made of stone from the Elvira Mountains, the base, ridge and pilaster of the fountain are Baroque. From around 1626 to 1995 the fountain had an adorned marble Nasrid basin with epigraph inscriptions, probably meant for the Court of the Lions, but which is currently kept in the Museum of the Alhambra.
Leaving the court and the Palace can be done through only one of the three rooms, which also has an upper-floor gallery that until recently was called “Châteaubriand’s room” owing to the fact that the famous French author and politician left his signature on one of the columns that came from the Court of Machuca, which had been demolished.
