This picture is a render I did some 5 years ago using Poser software. I think that I managed not only to capture a good likeness of her face but also her figure. I used 3 point lighting. The shadows accentuate the curves of her figure. : )
My camera's sensor doesn't seem to be able to achieve this colour. I can see the spiderwort flowers from my window, so I used photo editing software to restore the colour to what it ought to be, the colour attained by the chip was more like blue.

Some of my contacts wanted to know where Waterfall Park was. I put that together with AI. I figured everyone knew that. I got the inspiration from a waterfall park in Central Mexico. I took my then girl friend there thinking she would be impressed because we also stayed in the hotel next door. All she did was complain that it was too load to sleep. I went down to the front desk and had them switch room. We left the next day.
This image was put together with AI as well

When I begun to process this exposure bracketing, I thought that I knew what I wanted to attain. I was perfectly wrong. Indeed, these RAW files kept a few secret bits of beauty which I was not aware of when I selected them for processing – and they changed the course of the journey I had foreordained.
I was in a gloomy mood, for both personal and general concerns, and the RAWs looked rather duller than the average – taken: they appeared to accurately mirror the state of my soul. At worst, I would have wasted some hours of pointless procesing work before deciding to look for something better. Nobody would have known. However things were to contradict my expectations. I got some good news (a rarity in those tough days) about the health conditions of my brother and my “adopted brother-in-law” (i.e. my brother’s brother-in-law); on the other hand, Darktable – that wonderful software – gifted me with a few unanticipated treasures. My thoughts were growing more and more positive and the processing of this bracketing were proceeding accordingly: a hidden beauty was unfolding before me, my own persisting unawareness of it notwithstanding. At last I found myself with a picture that had apparently self-processed itself*, while I was busy exploring uncharted thoughts that kept emerging along the way
* Admittedly a bizarre phenomenon, which Maurits Cornelius Escher would have loved – think of his Drawing hands.
I would avoid to nag you about this incredibly wonderful location: you can take a look at my album Silent banks, the complete collection of the photos I have taken there; the attached narratives are rich in information about the place, if you are curious enough.
This location is especially renowned for its legendary morning mists, but only a thin layer of milky mist floated above the water that morning. On top of the hill in the distance, beyond the river, lays the sanctuary of the Madonna della Rocca ( = Madonna of the Rock), already brushed by the first light pouring from the Eastern horizon.
I have obtained this picture by blending an exposure bracketing [-1.7/0/+1.7 EV] by luminosity masks in the Gimp (EXIF data, as usual, refer to the "normal exposure" shot), then, as usual, I added some final touches with Nik Color Efex Pro 4.
I tried the inverted RGB blue channel technique described by Boris Hajdukovic as a possible final contribution to the processing. While this technique (which, its imposing name notwithstanding, is pretty simple to implement) often holds interesting results in full daylight landscapes, its effects on a low-light capture (e.g. a sunrise) are utterly unpredictable, so at the end of my workflow I often give it a try to ascertain its possibilities. In this picture I have exploited this technique in a very frugal, yet effective, way – just some touches where needed.
RAW files has been processed with Darktable. Denoising with DFine 2 and the Gimp (denoised and original images blended by lightness).

National Trust Properties
Waddesdon Manor, Aylesbury, HP18 0LH, Buckinghamshire
Waddesdon Manor
Built between 1874 – 1889 in the Neo-renaissance style for Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild. Waddesdon Manor stayed within the family until 1957.
When the last owner died (James de Rothschild), it was passed over to the National Trust, the Manor and its contents and is now managed by the Rothschild Foundation.
Ferdinand de Rothschild wanted a beautiful building and had in mind a chateau familiar with those built in the Loire Valley. He chose the French architect Gabriel-Hippolyte Destailleur to do the work. Destailleur was already familiar with the type of work, as he had overseen many projects, including the Chateau de Mouchy. He also worked for another member of the De Rothschild family, namely Baron Albert de Rothschild on his Palais Rothschild in Vienna.
The wine cellars are interesting in that it contains the best of 15,000 bottles, some over 150 years old and come from the Chateau Lafite Rothschild and Chateau Mouton Rothschild estates. It is the largest collection in the world of Rothschild wines, it also has some very important labels created by artists such as Salvador Dali and Andy Warhol.
The works of art inside the house of the very best quality, artists such as, Gainsborough, Reynolds, Boucher, Cuyp, Van Dyck, Titan and many others. Sevres ceramics, Beauvais Tapestries, first quality English Silver, carpets, books the list unending.
the French Landscape Gardiner Elie Laine. Extensive levelling of the hill was carried out, the Gardens and parks were laid out and an attempt was made to grow full length trees using chloroform to decrease the shock of moving the trees and planting them, however there are many trees in the parks and gardens that were successfully planted. Trees such as Yews, cedar, redwoods and other conifers, chestnuts, limes and maples are all successfully well bedded in.
During the reign of James de Rothschild the gardens were not the most spectacular however from the 1990’s a more up to date, using computer software for many of the colour combinations and in the gardens are many lovely statues by such sculptors as, Italian Sculptors Giuliano Mozani and Filippo Parodi, French sculptor, Jean Raon, to name but a few.
In my opinion, a great House and Garden to visit, teas and a scone well worth the wait.
Finally there have been many films made there. Here are a few examples:
Never Say Never Again
Carry On “Don’t Lose Your Head”
Ladies in Lavender
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon
Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows
In 2018 there were approx. 465,000 visitors to the Manor, and was the largest visitor attraction anywhere in all of the National Trust Properties.

These pictures show Jacobite Warrior just North of Urquhart Castle. The boat has sailed near the megaliths in Brittany and now it regularly passes near Clava Cairns and Corrimony Chambered Cairn as well more megalithic sites, but these are less well known. Jacobite Warrior is a part of a Boat Tours company with several routes they are linked below. I see Jacobite Warrior and her sister ships in my mind’s eye sailing in from Inverness, but they definitely call at Urquhart Castle and they go further south on Loch Ness and some may even go beyond.
These pictures are at the far reaches of this lens and camera. I have a few pictures and will try to edit them to make a further presentation this is my Photographic Note to myself to take further action. The pictures here are from two originals with a crop to give a more detailed view of Jacobite Warrior in each picture. Just a few years ago these pictures would have been much more difficult to take. Modern digital has brought optical steady shot software and hardware into the cameras that help get a sharper picture. Then editing these and cropping them has been very easy indeed.

Some software experts posed with me for a group portrait a couple months ago.
Top (L to R) is Christina, Lisa, Kandi, Cristy, and Jane.
Lower (L to R) is me and Jenna.
The concept was to publicly display some favorite software: real or faux.
I, for one, was initially surprised at the number of software experts in my collection of friends. In retrospect - maybe that should not be surprising.
After all, arguing with any one of us expert women is like reading a software license agreement...
...in the end, you ignore it all and click "I agree".
Resistance is futile.
Enjoy

I saw the sun coming up and tried to shoot this. Every image was badly underexposed. Not having the good sense to throw them out, I scanned them and struggled to get something out of editing software that looked like the original scene. What're you going to do with an empty slide carousel anyway?
Mmmm. Apples. My favorite kind of apples are apples in a pie.
Refrigeration requires a lot of electricity. I thought it was cool they have two sets of primary power lines on these poles. Many of you know, when a big electric motor initially starts, it looks like a short circuit for a few moments. That's why your lights dim when your, or a neighbor's, air conditioner kicks on. Some power meters capture these incidents and the user gets billed extra for them. Some places call it a "demand charge." The utility has to install bigger wiring and transformers for places that use high current such as big motors. In modern times, people add variable-frequency drives to flatten out electric draw of big motors. These are electronic devices that reduce electricity use of big motors. The varying pitch coming from older BART cars beginning to roll away from a station is the sound of a variable frequency drive.
The chief aim of technology will now be to eradicate the lamentable results of previous technologies.
