Better Viewed Large. Trying out some more new combinations in post processing with new software. Arches National Park is a beautiful national treasure. There is so much to shoot that it is hard to focus on any one thing, but for me...the colors really start to come out in low light.

The Desert Has a Voice (JHWatkins) not hdr
The desert has a voice that calls
In dry, dirt dreams-
Warm, wind-washed wonders
In wingless, soulless flight.
Cold, moonlit masquerades
Through long level years,
Crying out with countless cares on deafened ears-
Drowned in measured, motor-muffled madness,
And child-chattered, purposeless flight.
Quietly, calmly calling-
Darkened, deepening desert-
Star-filled with stumbling stalkers
And wounded warriors in fevered nights.
Dreams-peaceful, persistent, dreams-
As wheeled sky turns
Eternal turning, evening eyes-
And thoughts of morning colored light.
Millennial seas-
Doomed and dusty years-
Row upon heaping row of years-
Tears-
Caked, covered
And desolate.
The desert has a voice-
That calls and halts
And peers with perfect perspective-
Stopping us in our way.
“I have seen blood-stained battles!
I have seen despot desires!
I have seen prophets come and go,
And ages pass with shallow…glancing blows!
I have seen civilizations crumble…
Tumbling, heavy-handed
Into pagan pasts!”
The desert has a voice-
And every grain of sand has a name-
Every wind-blown grain of sand.
And someone-somewhere-knows the names.
They have perfect place and purpose-
Rocks cry out! Rocks….sing!
Some soaring angelic scribe somewhere
Records the history of rocks, and sands, and deserts.
Drab, dull, drifting desert distances and plans.
Ragged, jagged, craggy-edged
Mountain spine explosions and
Dry, desert sand.
The desert has voice and future-
With lifted hill-high green valley-
And clear bright stream winding
To cool, crystalline sea.
They wait….silently…
Almost… forever waiting-
But I know the secret of deserts-
And –
Dreams.

Finally a project that doesn't involve software, hardware, computer code or math!
We had to edit this photo in photoshop with blending layers, textures, adjustment layers. I didn't realize until I finished and reread the assignment instructions we were supposed to add text with properties - so I took the lyrics from the song I was listening to while working on the project. Metric- Dreams so Real.
Fun. Okay back to math and programming. <3

Using Topaz Noise Adjust 6 for the first time.
This shot of a Beach Staggerwing Replica was very noise on the underside of the aircraft. Not a very good capture but a great candidate for the test.
Inspired by Vincent Van Gogh's & Claude Monet's impressionist sunflower paintings.
Finished using Alien Skin Software.
Thanks for viewing :)
Giving Nik Software HDR efex Pro 2 a test run. I'm not big into HDR, but sometimes it's just kinda necessary (in small amounts). Now that I've got an awesome tripod of awesomeness, it's time I learned to embrace it.
Also thinking it might be time to leave my beloved CNX2. I love it. I wish they would upgrade it and fix all the problems with it and maybe give us a few more features, but it's been YEARS since NX2 was released, there's been no news from nik software of any intention of upgrading it, and their newest versions of the plug-ins aren't even compatible with NX..... sigh....
Testing CS6 with the nik software plug-ins now to see if I can make it close enough to NX2 to convince myself to make the switch.
This image was bit bland and had a lot of people in the background. I added in two types of blurs (Radial Zoom and Motion), masked out the cosplayer from these blur effects, and used Nik Software's Analog Efex to hyper-saturate the colors and add in a darker vignette (simulate a standard 35mm camera's setting).
Is this perfect? No, but I do like it as the effects I was going for look good, very clean masks (took me ~1 hour do mask out the cosplayer with minimal bleed), and am quite happy with it. Comments?

I caught our gray tuxedo cat, Harley, in mid-yawn and thought it was a cute photos.
I could have labeled it, "Screaming for her supper," but opted for the geeky-theme title.
A Flerken is an alien species from Marvel Comics that resembles domestic cats... except for when they open their mouths and the tentacles come out a flying'!
I have been away from my software for 7 weeks so I will post 5 a day until I have caught up- sorry for the bulk posts

I was going through some photos of Dragon Con 2019 trying to locate a specific cosplayer. No luck in finding her as of yet but I did stumble across this picture that I took with my little Sony DSC-TX30. I honestly don't remember taking this photo.

For the most part, winter clothing in NYC is pretty dull: people wear dark coats, dark hats, black gloves, dark scarves and mufflers ... compared to the bright, cheery, colorful summer attire you see around here, it's pretty boring.
But there are exceptions -- and I saw one wonderful example on a crowded IRT subway while riding home late one afternoon during the gloomy week between Christmas and New Year's.
The boots were worn by a young woman, and I don't remember anything else about her. She apparently wore white socks and black pants .... She may have been Asian, but maybe not ... and anyway, who cares? But I do recall thinking, as I watched her, that she was relatively young ...
Indeed, she was probably young enough that if I had asked her if she was thinking of Elvis when she donned this pair of colorful blue boots, she probably would have looked at me as if I was from Mars ...
If you'd like to be reminded of the song's lyrics (which I must admit that I had first remembered as "don't step on my blue suede shoes") you can find them on several different Internet pages, including this one:
www.lyricsfreak.com/e/elvis+presley/blue+suede+shoes_2004...
There was once a time when I could sing both the lyrics and the tune of this song, without being shot or assaulted in public, on the streets of south Omaha ... I was 12 years old at the time, and hardly anyone paid attention to me. Heck, even now hardly anyone pays any attention to me -- which is probably the main reason I get away with taking all of these candid photos, with my iPhone, my pocket camera, and occasionally with a larger DSLR camera.
Hmmm, an afterthought: I wonder if the overall look would be more interesting if the shoelaces were a different color. Maybe red? Elvis would be proud ...
Note: I chose this as my "photo of the day" for Jan 9, 2014
**********************
Whether you’re an amateur or professional photographer, it’s hard to walk around with a modern smartphone in your pocket, and not be tempted to use the built-in camera from time-to-time. Veteran photographers typically sneer at such behavior, and most will tell you that they can instantly recognize an iPhone photo, which they mentally reject as being unworthy of any serious attention.
After using many earlier models of smartphones over the past several years, I was inclined to agree; after all, I always (well, almost always) had a “real” phone in my pocket (or backpack or camera-bag), and it was always capable of taking a much better photographic image than the mediocre, grainy images shot with a camera-phone.
But still … there were a few occasions when I desperately wanted to capture some photo-worthy event taking place right in front of me, and inevitably it turned out to be the times when I did not have the “real” camera with me. Or I did have it, but it was buried somewhere in a bag, and I knew that the “event” would have disappeared by the time I found the “real" camera and turned it on. By contrast, the smart-phone was always in my pocket (along with my keys and my wallet, it’s one of the three things I consciously grab every time I walk out the door). And I often found that I could turn it on, point it at the photographic scene, and take the picture much faster than I could do the same thing with a “traditional” camera.
Meanwhile, smartphone cameras have gotten substantially better in the past few years, from a mechanical/hardware perspective; and the software “intelligence” controlling the camera has become amazingly sophisticated. It’s still not on the same level as a “professional” DSLR camera, but for a large majority of the “average” photographic situations we’re likely to encounter in the unplanned moments of our lives, it’s more and more likely to be “good enough.” The old adage of “the best camera is the one you have with you” is more and more relevant these days. For me, 90% of the success in taking a good photo is simply being in the right place at the right time, being aware that the “photo opportunity” is there, and having a camera — any camera — to take advantage of that opportunity. Only 10% of the time does it matter which camera I’m using, or what technical features I’ve managed to use.
And now, with the recent advent of the iPhone5s, there is one more improvement — which, as far as I can tell, simply does not exist in any of the “professional” cameras. You can take an unlimited number of “burst-mode” shots with the new iPhone, simply by keeping your finger on the shutter button; instead of being limited to just six (as a few of the DSLR cameras currently offer), you can take 10, 20, or even a hundred shots. And then — almost magically — the iPhone will show you which one or two of the large burst of photos was optimally sharp and clear. With a couple of clicks, you can then delete everything else, and retain only the very best one or two from the entire burst.
With that in mind, I’ve begun using my iPhone5s for more and more “everyday” photo situations out on the street. Since I’m typically photographing ordinary, mundane events, even the one or two “optimal” shots that the camera-phone retains might not be worth showing anyone else … so there is still a lot of pruning and editing to be done, and I’m lucky if 10% of those “optimal” shots are good enough to justify uploading to Flickr and sharing with the rest of the world. Still, it’s an enormous benefit to know that my editing work can begin with photos that are more-or-less “technically” adequate, and that I don’t have to waste even a second reviewing dozens of technically-mediocre shots that are fuzzy, or blurred.
Oh, yeah, one other minor benefit of the iPhone5s (and presumably most other current brands of smartphone): it automatically geotags every photo and video, without any special effort on the photographer’s part. Only one of my other big, fat cameras (the Sony Alpha SLT A65) has that feature, and I’ve noticed that almost none of the “new” mirrorless cameras have got a built-in GPS thingy that will perform the geotagging...
I’ve had my iPhone5s for a couple of months now, but I’ve only been using the “burst-mode” photography feature aggressively for the past couple of weeks. As a result, the initial batch of photos that I’m uploading are all taken in the greater-NYC area. But as time goes on, and as my normal travel routine takes me to other parts of the world, I hope to add more and more “everyday” scenes in cities that I might not have the opportunity to photograph in a “serious” way.
Stay tuned….
It was a pretty miserable day but thanks to the use of Lightroom CC it actually looks better than it was. This is a try out of some software called 'Piccure' which I downloaded yesterday. It is an intelligent sharpening tool and it seemed like a good test. Time will tell if it is better than just using the sharpening tools in Lightroom and Photoshop.
I don't recognize the character but he looked unearthly or ghostly – with sci-fi elements such as the LEDs on his costume and weapon – so I ran with that vibe.
Darkened the image with Nik Software's Color Efex Pro, Topaz Adjust's Dayglow / Sketch-Dark Charcoal filters and used Topaz DeNoise AI to smooth out his skin texture and sharpen his features (edges). And masked out various effects. Lots and lots of masking.

Because of the building and fountains behind the cosplayer, this was reminiscent of a promotional photo of something that may have been used to sell guests to stay at the property. So I went with that idea.
I used Nik Software's Color Efex Pro - Tonal Contrast, Contrast Only and Glamour Glow filters to achieve this feel.
