This smoke shot is for the Sliders Sunday group, mirrored and colorized the gray smoke becomes a flower.
he'd be a Flamingo flower ;-) Blushing, red and redder, with every "modified truth" he tells while his nose can't get much longer than this ;-)
For #sliderssunday
Fun snapshot taken last Sunday after some welcome rain. Raindrops on the window always look nice as bokehlicious background, and I wanted to test the "bokehbility" of the GR III. Ricoh labels this ultra lightweight, small and definitely pocketable cam the "ultimate snapshot camera", and a snapshot this definitely is. Not much thought went into this, except that I wanted to photograph a flower – any flower – in front of the raindrops on the living room window. Well, and the Flamingo flower happened to be there. I also took a few captures with my Oly and my vintage OM-Zuiko 50mm F/1.4 lens which is a true bokeh master, rendering some rather freewheeling, organic looking bokeh shapes wide open and nice diamond shaped bokeh when stopped down a little (which you can see in the third comment, if you like – same window, different flower, taken four years ago). But these perfectly round, kind of bubbly looking tiny bokeh balls the GR III created at its maximum open aperture F/2.8 aren't really bad, either, methinks.
One thing you should do before you capture a Flamingo flower is to grab a dustcloth and dust, dust, dust the blossom carefully. A Flamingo flower is a true dust magnet which I learned the hard way. I didn't dust it (didn't even think of it) which resulted in some considerable post-treatment with the healing brush in Photoshop. And then there are the reflections, of course. Boy, does a Flamingo flower's surface shine. It would have been a wise decision to shoot this in "Highlight Weighted Mode", but I simply didn't think of it. Now you might ask why I hadn't simply dusted the blossom after discovering its dust attracting (attracting? reproducing!) qualities, then chosen the right camera settings and taken another photo. Well, after the rain had stopped, the summer sun came out and quickly, way too quickly, dried away those lovely raindrops on the window. So I decided to go with what I had. And since it hasn't rained since last Sunday I also didn't get another opportunity for a better image. Instead, I decided to challenge myself with making this clumsy, not at all perfect GR III premiere presentable – with the help of the sliders ;-) Oh, and I almost forgot... the GR III is supposed to be a street camera... well, one could say that this is
a candid flower ;-) And there also is some street as background, my street. That'll have to do for now ;-)
Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone, wear a mask, keep a good distance, stay safe and healthy!
Sliders Sunday
This is the sundial in my front yard. It's amazing how the DDG (when it plays nice) can transform your photos into something so creative.
The Sun has almost set
The Tree is just a Silhouette
The Day is done
For the Night to come
Then the Moon will rise
When you have closed your Eyes
Until another Day is dawning
While you’re still yawning
You’ll miss the Sunrise
If you keep closed your Eyes
A New Day has begun
And You don’t see the Sun
(Caren)
😄 Happy Sliders Sunday 😄

I had posted the original image a number of weeks earlier. This was reworked in Paintshop for Sliders Sunday.
Sliders Sunday!
I did this in my online oil painting program then processed it with DDG. Happy Sliders Sunday!
Started off in PhotoScape, then visited iPiccy before trying something else in Lunapics, which is when I stopped!

The wind was bitter in early spring 2019. I gardened indoors. The houseplants never looked so good! My partner said he was living in a jungle. I found a little pot of tiny daffodil bulbs on one of my brief and rare excursions outside. I brought it in. This was my reward, a perfectly formed tiny daffodil. The flower head is about 1” tall. Processed with Snapseed and Faded.

“See with one eye, feel with the other.” - Paul Klee. The beauty of playing around with sliders and editing is that you get to explore more how you feel about an image rather than just getting it technically right. Happy Sliders Sunday.

Going to town the other evening about a block from our house I spotted this peacock sitting on someone's porch. Watched for a good 1/2 hour while he ate those red berries.

Photo taken during the same photowalk, with the same camera, and in the same spot as my previous upload for Sliders Sunday (photo in the first comment) – the Holsteiner Ufer in the Berlin borough Moabit. It had been the last hot day of 2019, and judging by its opened beak, this crow was feeling hot as well. Luckily, plenty of water was nearby, as the Holsteiner Ufer is a riverbank along the Spree. At first, the crow didn't take notice of me while I was taking its photo, but after a while it began to scrutinize me curiously. But it didn't fly or walk away. City crows are tough ;)
The sliding was done entirely in the DXO FilmPack plug-in, two run-throughs combined. At first I'd applied the film simulation "Generic Fuji Astia 100", a texture ("scratches"), a light leak ("colour 1"), some blur, and the "old paper 1" frame. And next I'd applied the Agfa Precisa 100 film simulation, a glass frame (colour), and a warm filter (at 28 % density).
Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone, and have a safe week ahead!
