This was back in June on our trip through Central Oregon. This unique site is waaaaay out in the middle of nowhere. When I finally got there, I was disappointed that there was this blinding white haze hanging from the sky and was afraid all the pictures would be crap. That's what they looked like on the LCD screen. But the haze actually let some of the subtleties of the color variations come out.

 

You are looking 35 million years into the past.

Another one in this series and I thought I would make it the full colour version this time I hope you all like it! the top half is the original and the rest is obviously photoshopped but I feel that this is more the direction that I am heading for, making my photography more of an art form than just a straightforward image, some of you may not care for this type of vision but please let me know what you think?

   

Thank you for your visits, comments, awards and invites💞

 

Stay well.

Myself again, sorry. Nicole wasn't available for a 6am photo session.

 

The title involves some linguistic and semantic subtleties for which I don't have an exact translation, but its not biographic.

Annäherungsversuch. Aber von welcher Seite bloß?

The snout of this creature looks really fluffy ... but is it ultimately rather scratchy, crispy, hard? Like a beard? In any case, it was buried in the snow for a long time – as I could see – and so I couldn't help but pick a few stalks and serve them :-) We didn't get much closer then.

Die Schnute dieser Kreatur sieht ja ganz flauschig aus ... aber ist sie vielleicht letztendlich eher kratzig, knusprig, hart? So wie ein Bart? Jedenfalls wurde sie lange im Schnee vergraben – wie ich beobachten konnte – und so konnte ich es nicht lassen und habe ein paar Halme gepflückt und sie kredenzt :-) Viel näher sind wir uns dann doch nicht gekommen.

So schön kann man in Berlin wohnen.

Das Foto habe ich in Luminar und Adobe bearbeitet um die Feinheiten, die sich im Dunklen verstecken, ans Licht zu holen. Eine sehr idyllisch gelegener Wohnort, fernab vom Großstadtlärm und doch mittendrin.

Ich wünsche Euch einen guten Start in die neue Woche, seid achtsam damit Ihr gut durch die Hitzewelle kommt. Kleiner Tip von Herrn Kachelmann, Fenster auf Gegenzug und die Fenster abdunkeln, das klappt hervorrangend.

You can live this beautifully in Berlin.

I edited the photo in Luminar and Adobe to bring out the subtleties that are hidden in the dark. A very idyllic place to live, far away from the noise of the city but still right in the middle of it.

I wish you a good start into the new week, be mindful so that you get through the heat wave well. A little tip from Mr. Kachelmann: open the windows and darken them, that works very well.

J'ai retouché la photo dans Luminar et Adobe pour mettre en lumière les subtilités qui se cachent dans l'obscurité. Un lieu de vie très idyllique, loin du bruit de la ville et pourtant en plein milieu.

Je vous souhaite un bon début de semaine, soyez attentifs afin de bien traverser la canicule. Un petit conseil de Monsieur Kachelmann : ouvrez les fenêtres en sens inverse et obscurcissez les fenêtres, cela fonctionne à merveille.

Le vent se calme... le temps de capturer l'instant magique et la transparence de cette magnifique fleur. Suspendu mais lucide et concentré sur ma stabilité, je tente de saisir la moindre subtilité, la moindre nuance dans ce rouge intense et beau.

The wind calms down... the time to capture the magic moment and the transparency of this magnificent flower. Suspended but lucid and focused on my stability, I try to capture the slightest subtlety, the slightest nuance in this intense and beautiful red.

This is a pic of a camellia taken on holiday in April this year, processed quite extensively in Affinity and Nik Color Efex. The end result, hopefully, retains some of the complex subtlety of the flower.

 

I was aiming for a look that was like the way the flower makes me feel.

 

I’ll post an in-camera version in the first comment for your delight and amusement :)

 

Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Sliders Sunday :)

The cryptically speckled upperparts and finely barred underparts of the Wryneck are breathtakingly beautiful in their subtlety. I photographed this bird searching for food amongst the weeds and grasses that border the shingle at Lepe.

 

Thank you all for your kind responses.

When you live in China you are obliged to have a Chinese name. This was mine, carefully chosen by a staff member: “Han Bai Ling” and shown on the Chinese side of my business card. As names go, it was often admired for its elegance and poetry, though I think its subtleties were lost on me as a foreigner uneducated in Chinese language and tradition.

 

My staff had this chop made for me when I left Beijing, a souvenir of my 4 years there.

 

The traditional Chinese characters (read from right to left) as follows:

 

Han 韓 (a common Chinese surname)

 

Bai 柏 (cypress)

 

Ling 靈 (spirit/soul)

My very first outing with my new toy a few months ago, the Medium format Fuji, and shot straight into a searing sun. It may appear that the highlights are shot to pieces, but it's not even close to clipping the highlights in LR. Single shot, no filters, just a big 'in your face' sun. Subtlety doesn't get a look in, that's reality for you.

2023 Photo 122/243: I went back out into the yard (where it still is very windy) today for a yellow iris. I love the subtleties and color saturation that a cloudy day brings. c.2023 John M. Hudson | jmhudson1@mindspring.com

As wisdom abounds through time…I let go of attachments. I change the direction of my life to have the intensified and expanse awareness of Unity. My intuition and synchronicity is heightened, because I no longer ignore the everyday subtleties.

Thank you for your visits, comments, awards and invites.💗

Thanks to simple.joy and Dagmar for lighting and hues suggestions. New lights, hues, ideas and inspiration.

*Darn. Thought I had fixed that Exif data; should read 60mm, not 58mm.

 

Reminder: In January 2022 I asked for help, and a Flickr support hero removed both of my accounts from the Explore algorithm. I feel more relaxed ;-)

Botschaft auf Distanz. Einfach mal anzupfen.

Maybe a passable new way to get the latest news out? Maybe we should take an example from this tree, which apparently conducts its conversations by plucking ;-) Something like how a telegram works? Today I was on a long walk with a good friend to talk, a bit arduous through partially frozen and slushy paths – but very nice :-))

Vielleicht eine passable neue Möglichkeit, die neuesten Nachrichten zu versenden? Vielleicht sollten wir uns ein Beispiel an diesem Baum nehmen, der anscheinend seine Gespräche durch Zupfen führt ;-) So ähnlich wie ein Telegramm funktioniert? Ich war heute mit einer guten Freundin auf einem langen Spaziergang zum Reden, etwas beschwerlich durch teilweise gefrorene und mit Schneematsch bestückte Wege – aber sehr schön :-))

Taken on a recent trip to Pembrokeshire, I rose early to try and capture a seascape. I had read that there were some wonderful sea stacks in Pembrokeshire, The Green Bridge of Wales being one.

 

I arrived before sunrise after driving through the Castlemartin army tank training area, and parked along the Pembroke Costal Path. The sea stacks are fantastic, and I captured this scene as the sun rose above the bridge. I don't usually take sunrises directly, I'm normally pointing my camera in the opposite direction, but this image works for me? I'm not sure if it's the subtlety of the sunrise, or the bright sea, darkening as it nears the viewer?

 

I have not exposure stacked this picture, I worked on the highlights, slightly under-exposing them, and then pulled up (brightened) the shadows in post. In-fact, I just took a few exposures and then through trial- and-error worked on which exposure was the easiest to recover in post. I've never liked the look of HDR photos and often struggle with both exposure and focus stacking - something I need to learn - but then modern digital cameras, even a crop sensor in the Fujifilm X-T4, have such huge dynamic range, you often don't need to exposure stack.

 

I like this scene, even though it is very Instagram-esq, it's calming and a change from what I have been capturing since starting photography two years ago.

 

... oh, and there were four Choughs (Raven like birds with red beaks and legs) in the parking lot on my return. It's my understanding they are quite rare but are recovering/breeding well in the area?
