beaches and sand dunes along the Ningaloo Coast are all ... The fringing coral reef is what makes the Coral Bay area so special.
We love miniatures: Legos, Playmobil, Plan City. Recently I ran across a web tool that manipulates real-life scenes to look like photographs of models. You can look at some more here or play with the tool yourself here.
Shifting home is one of the most disastrous experiences one can have in Dhaka city. Because of the necessity to carry Literally all the stuffs, there are chances of things getting lost or damaged.
And those things are costly. So, the penalty is pretty high.

Last minute run up to Mt Tamalpais with Maximilian Laue to shoot the sunset. Not a whole lot of color since the fog was pouring over the ridge right as the sun was setting, We were buried in fog 5 min after I took this picture.
A breezy day in the woods around Margaret Lake.
One of my first experiments with the Abelson "select-a-scope" pinhole turret, mounted on the Intrepid 4x5. I chose a .02 inch aperature, which is roughly f/200 at 100mm focal length. Shot on some "mildly" expired Kodak E100G film.

This is one of my first attempts at using tilt shift in a photo. It was taken with my Canon G12, which has an image mode setting for it. I know it isn’t as good as a dedicated tilt shift lens, but I quite like it. What do you think?
This photo was taken in Verona, Italy, and the street scene shown here is in the eastern part of the city shot from the high wall battlements at the 14th Century Castelvecchio.
Processing this image got me thinking about the different settings on our cameras. Are some camera modes just a gimmick? Do any enthusiast or professional photographers actually use them,ever? There are a ton of image mode settings on my G12, some of which are useful, like Tilt Shift. It also has an HDR setting, which works quite well, but I’d still rather bracket myself. Then there are some like Beach, Underwater and Sepia which I never use.
Post Processing:
Single Jpeg (no option for shooting Raw when in gimmick mode)
Processed in Photomatix
Added Tonal Contrast filter in Color Efex Pro

Back at it on a morning shift. First one after my enforced Covid-19 7 day poorly break.
(Good to not feel poorly again, lost 3kg in a week!)
Also good to be back at work again helping out at this busy time..
Was great to see the sunrise earlier and to get an AMT cappuccino too! :) An hour late off but that's okay..
I work for Yorkshire Ambulance Service in and around the city of Sheffield in South Yorkshire.
It’s a great job and I feel very honoured to be able to help people at their point of need.

Covid shift essentials..
Tyvek suit, gloves (large), goggles (snug fit) mask and of course an AMT cappuccino!!

This is my new shift lens. It uses a Schneider Componar 75mm f/4.5 enlarging lens on a metal lens board that slides around and is being held with magnets.
I was trying to get infinity focus but I missed the mark, so now its minimum focus is about 15 feet. But I reach infinity when fully closed.
I bought this shift knob for my friend who got 2005 Mustang GT from amazon.

Notice how the right side crane is a bit blurry. It's actually perfectly in focus. I do not know why it looks blurry, probably something to do with the girder structure. It's the perfect looking left side crane that moved during exposures.
Photo is from last winter and on the background is the construction site for Vantaa waste power plant. Now it is a bit unfair to talk about this place as Vantaa waste power plant as the collection area extends from this location over 150 km west all the way to Hanko. Yes, it's only west, not east.

Notice how the highlight of two lamps is almost perfect. I think I finally managed to get the grips of generating non magenta highlights to HDR:s. Note that this is probably not an issue if you are using latest LuminanceHDR.
You may experience magenta highlights if you use 16 bit tiff or raw images to make HDR's.It is possible to make HDR's from jpg but my experience is that the colours will be dull. I am unfamiliar with the improvements on RAW handling of Luminance HDR but on the very old 2.0.2 version I use it is tricky. My work flow is Rawstudio -> 16 bit Tiff -> HDR. This work flow produces good and vibrant colours but over saturated areas turn typically to magenta, sometimes green and fixing these manually in Gimp can be quite difficult.
Also on this image the lamps on the centre had been over saturated and after tone mapping the highlight was pure magenta. I rejected the HDR and started over a bit differently. Steps were
1. Generate 16 bit tiff images using Rawstudio
2. Cd to image folder
3. Open base exposure with Gmic. Just type gmic bracket_1.tif (bracket_1.tif = your image file name)
4. In the preview window move your cursor on top of the highlight. Make a note of the values shown by the preview window. These values are shown in a corner. It may read something like 65535,60244,65535. These values are for RGB channels and the green has not been over saturated. Find the highest peak value for green in the highlights and make a note of it.
5. Close preview window.
6. Type gmic bracket_1.tif -cut 0,highest_peak_value -normalize 0,65535 -type ushort -o braket_1_cut.tif (here highest_peak_value=a bit less than the highest peak you found from your image. If you had 60244 then maybe 60200 would be good. I have tried this only twice yet so I can not say for sure.)
7. Repeat step 6 for all brackets with the same highest_peak_value.
8. Generate HDR with Luminance
9. Tonemap
What happens in step 6? Lets break it down.
gmic: Calls gmic
bracket_1.tif: Tells the file name to read for gmic. At this point image is converted to 32 bit per pixel because gmic does all processing as 32 bit.
-cut 0,highest_peak_value: Cuts the image data so that values above highest_peak_value are thrown away. For highlights this means that magenta turns now to grey.
-normalize 0,65535: Stretches remaining data back to full 16 bit range. This turns our highlights back to pure white.
-type ushort: Changes the pixel data back to fit 16 bits
-o braket_1_cut.tif: Writes output to file braket_1_cut.tif
Few considerations
It is worth while noting that this method changes the colour balance of the whole image. In this case it was not much but in other cases it might be. If the method produces good highlights but bad white balance otherwise then make another image with out the cutting and use Gimp+masks to combine the two images. I also tried just normalizing the green channel and it worked too but affected the white balance more in this case. The command used was
gmic image.tif -split c -cut[1] 0,60000 -normalize[1] 0,65535 -append c -type ushort -o output.tif
For this image two different HDR's were produced, one with camera white balance and one with spot adjusted white balance. These were combined in gimp to produce the orange tinge of the lamps. In addition quite a lot of other masking and colour tint edits was made (for example the bluish border). Final image has a total of 12 layers, bottom two of these are the tonemapped LDR's made from two cut value HDR's.
For comparison of different raw developers see
picasaweb.google.com/108661635615415981999/RawDeveloperHD...
I found out that it is possible to controllably produce excellent results with UFRaw by adjusting EV. Same method should work also on other raw developers but it is not possible to know the correct adjustment value from the information shown. UFRaw gives percentage values for the amount of overexposed pixels and it seems that this information can be used to set correct exposure compensation.

Custom command can be used by copying it to text file
and then saving it under name FixBlowOut. The saved custom command can then be called from command line gmic with the command below
gmic -m FixBlowOut imagename.tif -fix_blowout -type ushort -o imagename.tif.
Note:
- CD to the folder with image files
- The text file has to be in the same folder as the image file
- Replace imagename.tif with your image name.
- Run the command for all images separately.
