This little landscape/seascape was framed during a walk around the Lymington Keyhaven Nature Reserve. I usually search out the local wildlife in this area but on this particular day I decided to bring my 24mm - 105mm lens to capture a few scenes that would hopefully catch my eye. This shot, in my opinion was probably the best of the bunch that I took mainly for the contrasting tones in the lower section of the image and the eye-catching cloud formation that was passing at that moment in time. I did ponder on using a 10 stop filter for this scene but decided that the cloud detail was too good to blur out in the scene which would lose the natural drama that you see in the image.
It's a draft - I'm not going to spend too much time on finishing touches of the details because I make all these things as part of a (long) learning process in order to eventually be able to create realistic looking scenes.
Software: Blender 2.92 (it's free)
Music: Action Strike by Rafael Krux at Freepd.com (CC0)
Blender is undergoing a structural make-over towards "everything nodes". This means that everything that has so far been done by using modifiers, will be done with nodes. Or: I have to unlearn much of what I have learned so far and learn a whole new workflow instead. But this whole make-over that Blender is currently rolling out in stages, makes Blender even more powerful, more versatile and more flexible so it definitely is worth it.
First on the agenda: learning all about geometry nodes, new in Blender 2.92
.
One of the nice things about Adobe Lightroom is the ability to organize images in various ways.
For example one can create a "smart" collection, assigning various conditions and parameters that would cause images to be included or excluded. When finished editing an image in Ps and saved with the PSD extension, I also save it in a TIFF version consisting of a single layer.
So I have chosen to create smart folders organized by date, such as Tiffs_2017-12, in which I found this image. All the TIFFs created in the month of December 2017 could be found in that smart folder unless they have been posted to Flickr.
I've done the same for PSDs. Opening this image's PSD in Ps reminded me of what I had done back in December.
Toward the end of last year I had been playing with photos shot with the camera and then sent to my phone for editing in the phone's apps. I had created various versions of this using Snapseed and Stackables.
I then exported each of those versions back to the computer where they got stacked as layers in Ps. By playing with blend modes and masks, and sliding opacity one can mix various aspects of each version.
Since I found this image again, I figured I should post to the Sliders Sunday group while waiting an hour for one of the world cup matches I am eagerly anticipating.
Germany - Mexico
If each team plays to their ability, this would be a fantastic game.
Maybe as much fun to watch as Portugal - Spain had been.
Meanwhile, have a great Sliders Sunday!
Final shot of this series. Not the most thrilling shot of the series, but I have posted the images in the order that they were taken, and this shot represents the end of the encounter as they were splitting the scene. I did shoot a number of frames of these two, but I chose this shot because I liked the pose of the one on the right as it pivots as if it was going to blast off and could have been thinking, "Hey wait for me!"
Definitely my day was made by these two encounters. I headed for home shortly after this as the rising sun would soon be blocked by a bank of cloud and I doubted that I would be able to top the Elk encounters, and I was excited to see what kind of shots I had got.
Eglwys y Grog (Holy Cross Church), Mwnt, Ceredigion
Mwnt is a beautiful secluded cove on the Ceredigion coast, just north of Cardigan. Above a sandy beach that has been rated amongst the finest in Europe is a picturesque whitewashed church dedicated to the Holy Cross.
Though the present church building dates to the 14th century, there has been a church in this spot since the Age of the Saints (roughly 410-700 AD). The dedication to Holy Cross is probably a reference to a tradition that a tall stone cross once stood atop Foel y Mwnt, the conical hill that rises directly behind the church. The cross would have been used as a focal point for preaching the Christian message.
The cross would also have been visible for many miles, attracting pilgrims who drew their boats up on the sandy beach at the base of the cliffs.
Mwnt gained such a reputation amongst early Christians that it became a stopping place for the bodies of saints being transported to Bardsey Island for burial. Mwnt's location also made it a convenient resting place for pilgrims en route to St David's, further down the coast.
We do not know exactly when the present building was erected; it may have been as early as the 13th century. That's the date of the stone font, made of Preselau stone, that stands at the west end of the nave.
On the north wall is a small lancet window, now blocked, that may have allowed lepers - who were not allowed inside churches - to view the high altar during services.
The fife rail on the lower main mast , a scene on the 19th century iron hulled Barque James Craig . Built in Sunderland, England in 1874 , originally named Clan Macleod , she was renamed James Craig in 1905 . She was found sunk and abandoned in 1972 as a rusty rotting hulk in isolated Recherche Bay Tasmania . Patched up and refloated she was taken to Hobart where she remained while vital repairs were carried out for safe towing to Sydney in 1981 , There the serious business of a total restoration began . Through hardship and the generous donations of many the restoration was finally completed in 2001 . Today James Craig is one of only four 19th century tall ships that go to sea regularly .
She is owned by the Sydney Heritage Fleet .

A scene taken of the waterway that runs through the local country park. Although in need of restoration it is a fabulous place for the photographer and a great home for the water birds that live there.
A bit of a rough start on this with a downpour of rain after the first outlines. We couldn't abandon the wall as we were covering a friends piece, so we painted a dripping wet wall. Looks alright in photo.
