I did post this image at the time of my 2010 trip, but it's a favorite of mine - I even printed it for my mono images wall. This post is improved - a few dust spots removed, and a much nicer viewing resolution. In fact, there was a light snow falling and you can see the streaking in some areas, particularly in the lower middle of the frame. As for the conversion to monochrome, I do like it better than the color, where the moving falls and river had a tinge of green in them. So do enjoy this with a couple of clicks to peruse the finer detail.
I had to tinker and tinker some more with this to draw out the features and details I wanted on the ground and in the clouds. I used some Lightroom brushes, grad filters and did some spot removing take out some fence posts a tractor, and a couple other little things that were 'in the way.' DSC_5343.jpg
Brisbane Glen is a stunningly beautiful location hidden away in the hills of North Ayrshire on the west coast of Scotland. This evening the reflections were particularly beautiful. This photo has only had some spots removed from my dirty sensor.
Macro Mondays - Imperfection
Look at that. Today is the day that I do NOT have to spot remove that yellow spot on the eye.
I did ponder all sorts of imperfections, but this is one that always bothered me a great deal.
Happy Macro Mondays
Red Knot
[Calidris canutus]
Stone Harbor, NJ
"The Golden Hour"
The red knot had fishing line coming from its tail but I spot removed it. I sent the tag information in with a picture that had the fishing line. I was waiting to post this when I got the tag information but it is taking too long. I think I saw this bird in a later photo and the fishing line had come off.
Oil & water......Boo...hiss!!! I can see a couple of dust-spots that I missed....I have a sensor full of them at the moment so that image was a labour of love, dust spot removing from my image not my sensor as yet!!!
A young and colourful Caedica simplex (NZ Katydid) nypmh in what I imagine must be its first instar. It is hanging out in some sort of mint I believe.
I find they are really cute and colourful at this age, striped all the way from legs to antennae. I think even by the next instar they are already almost entirely green - certainly they retain some yellow detailing on the carapace and in the eyes, but nothing like the variety of colour and patterns you see here.

I didn't have to do much to this one beyond the usual cropping, color/contrast and sharpening. I spent most of the time spot removing some power line towers on the hillside and 'hiding' a town amongst the trees on the left shoreline. (Celio Park IMG_2510.jpg)
Being on the west coast meant we got to watch the sunset over the sea at Barmouth, which we did every night it wasn't cloudy on our brief trip.
Ideally this would have been taken with a filter and on a tripod, as it was, I had to go hand held with F/22 and then spot remove all the dust on my lens...

My attempt to not photograph my hands quite so much crumbled once again this evening.
I thankfully rediscovered the 3d animations Hugo B very kindly shared with me a while back, deep in my phone's gallery.
One full rotation with simultaneous zoom pulls of that (cheers again Hugo) then a tripod swap to a predetermined spot, removed lens cap, cupped hands and fired the flashguns with the remote in my mouth. One through a beauty dish from above and the other gelled purple on the floor.
Worked best in monochrome and job is a good un.
Quite Dandelion like which is never a bad thing.
Happy days.

We took a bus to this town in southern France so we could enjoy a little wine (rose and red) with our delicious lunch and get home safely. The fountain was shot from the bus as we went round a round-about on our way home. I liked the way it fitted in the sky. Processed from RAW and dust spots removed.
Thanks for visiting.
This 'floating' fish is part of a hanging mobile of wood carved fish. You can see the blurred shape of another fish in the background. The reason I call this one, "Floating Fish," is because I spot removed the clear line that runs from the fish to the support above. If you look at the hole in the fish's dorsal fin, you can see the clear line. (Flower and Fish DSC_4149.jpg)

So the last couple of days have been recovery days for me since my traumatic experience at the dermatologist's office, not to mention the chest congestion I am still getting over. I'm still kind of tender around the eyes, but I'm healing. My husband says I look like I have prison tattoos of tears coming down my cheeks. Yeah, very funny, I said. I told him it looks like he beat me up and he'll probably get dirty looks from people in public. It's covered here with my hair, but that's just the consequences of getting those sun spots removed, a couple of weeks of spots on my face. I'll have to break out my biggest sunglasses to hide behind tomorrow because we are going to a 4th of July party.
Other than converting from Raw to JPeg and the odd dust spot removed these shot of the Tyne are as they left the camera, no other editing has been done

About this Shot
I was desperate to get some colour and warmth back into my photostream and I think this shot does exactly that. The weather has been excellent for the last few days and I'm lucky enough to live very close to lots of fields that have rapeseed in them. I absolutely love the vibrant yellow against a nice blue sky.
I had most trouble with getting the shot level when processing it, I even resorted to a ruler in the end :)

The sun was sparkling on the creek this morning as it was rising. It looked like flecks of gold on the water. Shot off the front deck.

Another view of the Dec 18 SpaceX Turksat5B Falcon9 launch, seen in a 339-sec exposure from Satellite Beach (FL).
This launch was a nice reminder of why I dislike shooting launches from the beach. Sand ends up everywhere, often on equipment that doesn't get along with sand. It was hazy and dewy. And for this shot, I had planned on setting close enough to the ocean that I'd be able to get some of the streak reflected in the water or the wet sand. The tide was going out, so I felt I was safe setting the camera fairly close to the water, but not soon after I placed the tripod and began adjusting the frame, I was drenched from the knees down by a wave. So, I moved (a bit) to higher ground and jammed the tripod into the sand to what I thought was a decent depth.
Well, I was wrong. When I checked the exposure afterward, there was a clear zig-zag in the highest part of the streak, caused by the tripod leg closest to the ocean having sunk deeper in the sand after another higher-than-expected wave had hit the tripod. I was rather vexed, so much so that I didn't even import the image (at first), and it's taken me this long to take the time to spot remove the offending zig-zag (and all the double stars). If you look closely (and obsessively, as I have been) at the top of the streak, the dim portion of the second stage (traveling toward the right of the frame) doesn't align properly.
Also, maybe of note -- the Full Moon is just out of the frame to the right, casting an otherworldly glow over the scene.
Anyway, this is the cleaned-up version, probably my last (new) rocket image of 2021, unless I've got some other ignored photos sitting on memory cards (doubtful).
Details: 339-sec exposure at ISO500 and f11 with a Canon 6D and a Rokinon 14mm lens.
Heliopsis, I think.
RAW image, cropped substantially along the top & right side; saturation & light adjusted in Aperture 3 and some spots removed with the retouch tool. I also created a little bit of blur with the retouch tool, along the edge of the leaf, but the rest of the blur is "lens-created".
I don't have a macro lens; .5 meter/20" is as close as my 14-150 mm lens will focus.

Straight out of the camera, (3) shots merged in photomatix, a few spots removed; voila. Funny how that works sometimes.
A unique colour of the deep south: noticed while walking around the central business district of Charleston, South Carolina. Exact location of building not recorded; it looked like it could be a private residence.

Uploaded this one as I like the star effect on the sun...how would you recommend I avoid the sunflare on the image? Looking straight on the lens hood couldn't do a lot...I could spot remove it out but I'd lose some of the starring effect. Hope you can advise!

Fog is part of the picture.
some dust spots removed and re-posted. JCH "street pan" film. Test roll; didn't like it, but this one's not so bad. Contrast seemed unmanageable for most subjects.

I could have easily spot removed the tube out of this shot, but it's kind of emblematic of the Blackwater River, a waterway that combines wild scenic beauty with opportunities for safe water recreation - something not to be taken for granted in Florida which leads to it becoming a recreational hotspot.

One of my chums has taken their first steps onto the political stage by running to be one of our local village commissioners, so I have ended up providing complimentary marketing and communications services. It's been a fun and very challenging experience trying to stretch the creative muscles in a way that's much different than what I'm used to for my marketing day job.
We grabbed a handful of minutes this morning to try to get some shots that were a bit more formal than the series we took at Acadia's KC Irving Centre last summer. As luck would have it, snow started falling (on April 22...) exactly while we were shooting, which is not a great look for a spring election photo series. It generally looked more like dandruff and sensor dust rather than lending a picturesque effect, so I ended up trying to Spot Remove most of it out in Photoshop.
