Meu Niver Hoje / My Birthday Today !!! :D
bom domingo...
This time stack was a bit more complicated to make than the others I've done. 180 images make this one up, which isn't a whole lot. Each image was exposed for around 1/1600th of a second (I had the camera in Av instead of manual so I'm sure some images are a bit longer exposed or shorter exposed... whoops) with 5 seconds between images. The clouds weren't moving that fast otherwise I'd have less of a delay between images.
I'm documenting the editing process so I can remember what I did:
1.) Split the images into two Directories: The first 90 images went into the "1-Lighten" Directory and images 91 through 180 went into the "2-Long-Streaks" Directory. (Note: the images are in chronological order)
2.) Since the clouds were moving away from me I wanted to give the illusion of them zipping off into the distance. Using Advanced Stacker Plus in CS6 I chose "Lighten mode" for the "1-Lighten" batch. You can see the clouds with space in between them in the upper right hand corner of the frame and they get smoother as they reach the horizon due to the next step. I processed the first 90 images this way.
3.) I used the image outputted by step 2 and then selected "Long Streaks" in Advanced Stacker Plus using all the images in the "2-Long-Streaks" Directory. "Long Steaks" creates streaks between images with motion in them instead of empty space (like "Lighten Mode"). Using "Long Steaks" with "Lighten mode" seems to create a sense of smoother and more accurate motion blur when clouds are either coming towards you or going away from you. I probably could've used "Ultra Streaks", but I wanted some definition to remain. "Ultra Steaks" smooths things out a bit too much (from my experience at least).
4.) Once everything was done processing I sighed a big sigh. The ferry entered the frame from the left and was parked right in front of the city. It's white... so "Lighten Mode" didn't 'erase' any of the motion from it. Instead it combined all the images with the ferry in them into one long ferry taking up half of the frame. So I pulled an audible and opened up the first image of the sequence and replaced the buildings and water with a clean image without the ferry (which is why the water is not silky smooth).
5.) The final step was to mask out all the airplanes and bird bits. Half a wing here. Half a fuselage there. Etc...
6.) Final LR tweaks.
Things I would've done different:
1.) I would've processed the images in reverse, so it would look like the clouds are coming at me instead of going away from me.
2.) Wait for that 15 minute window where there are no ferries. There's no way to avoid the planes, or birds.
3.) Use manual mode.

Through the mist and the matrix,
past the fence
a moment in time, history
once breathing and alive
now dead and frozen
Image taken with a front element of a lens from a Panasonic Lumix. The bad technical quality is by design.

Around this time Green LIne coaches popped up in all sorts of unlikely places before the network collapsed once again.
This is what they euphemistically call the 'centre' in this dreary American strip-mall of a city.

And now I leave you with one of my favorite quotes of the genius Steve Jobs. His creative fire will be missed.
“The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of a mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one.”
-Steve Jobs
♡ Have a wonderful weekend my friends!
Many a time I've snapped off a frame acting on nothing more than pure impulse. It's usually kick-started by a momentary feeling of weirdness or oddness in the world around me. I think we've all experienced that at one time or another. You see something that causes a feeling of uncertainty, possibly anxiety, or just confusion (or any number of other emotions). There's usually no apparent basis for these moments, they just hit you and often pass just as suddenly. For me anyway, there's often no visual cue; sometimes it's more a matter of crossing into some space or unseen energy field. These can be fixed in a certain space or completely transitory. I might experience it in a certain place one day, then never again in that exact spot. Other places seem to harness the energy and tend to raise that mental awareness each and every time I pass there (like a Ley line). There's one place in a local cemetery that causes me that sensation. I discovered it quite by accident one day. It's a fairly strong current of energy; actually causes goosebumps to raise on my skin. And it's a very narrow corridor. I can move into it, and right back out again with just a couple of steps. What I've come to notice is the ability to channel this energy into the visual realm. It's simply a matter of responding the moment you feel something like taking photos. It's not a good time to question the why or where, or worry too much about composition. I rely more on instinct for all of that. I truly believe it's a case of the universe picking the moment to shoot a photo rather than you. This photo is a case in point. I was walking down the street, totally preoccupied in thought when I was gripped with that weird energy flow. I immediately raised the camera and this is the resulting image. It's just a neighborhood house but somehow I've captured a dark aura. It's like looking at the photo of a crime scene; the outward beauty and charm of the house and yard belied by a sense of grimness. I can't help but think that a few seconds delay in taking the photo would have resulted in the energy diminishing. I think the dark aura would have lifted and the house would appear normal again.
I'm often told off for not doing enough painting or drawing (aren't i Dave?!), but there's never enough time to sit down and just indulge (and then there's all the setting up and clearing up after - I'm rather lazy!) But I was stuck at home on my day off, waiting for a roofer to fix a leak (that annoying drips into Matt's bedroom!), so I decided to get my pencils out for a change!

Found some NYC shots on an older hard drive. This shot is funny if funny considering this was when Ugly Betty was a break out hit and this year because of ratings they have canceled the show. I guess people don't heart ugly :)
FYI, I do heart NY!
P.S. the 35mm F2 does everything!

Finalmente o recesso chegou \o/
Nessas duas semanas, espero rever alguns amigos, mudar meu cabelo de uma vez, estudar, fotografar e assistir a vários filmes que não pude ver... Agosto já começa cheio de compromissos e é bom dar uma recarregada né!? :)
Como estão? Voltando de férias, saindo das férias ou nem as tiveram? :S
Tenham todos uma ótima semana!
Beijos! ♥

The Schooner America 2.0 with Full Sails! She is one of the most majestic tall sail-ships in the Key West sunset-sail fleet. Her huge sails catch the wind and the light as she roams the harbor, giving passengers a day/evening of excitement and open-water beauty.

History: Designed and built by Scarano Boat Inc. in Albany, N.Y., the America 2.0 had big shoes to fill. Its 1995 predecessor, the 139-foot America (now berthed in Santa Barbara) won the hearts and minds of many islanders on and off the docks. That ship replicated the original America, a 101-foot sailing vessel that won an 1851 race against 15 yachts of the Royal Yacht Squadron in what would become known forever as the "America's Cup" in honor of that ship. The 1851 original America ended up a blockade-runner for the Confederacy and after the Yankees seized her, became a blockade-buster for the federals. She remained government property until falling victim to a shed collapse in 1945, and with the shed was scrapped and burned. A 170-year history with two replicas built.
America 2.0 (105 feet) replaced the 1995 replica schooner America (139 feet). The '95 replica is now berthed in Santa Barbara, Calif.
The America 2.0, the Adirondack III, the Western Union, the Appledore and many other tall ships are credited with helping
to keep Key West's maritime traditions alive for years to come.
