I thought a little Topaz helped show the drama of the path as it enters the mossy area. Sometimes it's better to walk and smell the roses, so to speak, than ride your bike through this drama.

Another one of the amazing landscapes from my road trip last winter down the eastern side of Oregon and California - plus a touch of Nevada. Topaz Lake straddles the border between California and Nevada.

The wonderful aspect of macro photography is that you find a lot of pleasant surprises only when you peep through your viewfinder. And the joy you derive then is something unique !!! That is why macro photography is seeing the unseen and knowing the unknown !!!

This is one such occasion when I found a cool spider taking shelter on the stem amidst those sparkling topaz drops !!!

I would appreciate your eyesight if you could locate a leafhopper too in this !!

Have a lovely week ahead, friends !!

Topaz Adjust AI

I recently did a series of videos on Topaz Lab's new range of AI tools, and the latest addition to this package is Topaz Adjust AI which is a tool designed to allow you to use AI to make base improvements to your photo, and then use a range of other tools to further refine those adjustments (brightness, contrast, sharpen, etc). I used an image of a Red Panda as an example of the before and after, the before (below) is the unmodified JPEG image whilst the top is the Adjust AI version of the image. For those that are interested in more details, I have also done a youtube run-through at trav.to/h6yub Hope this is of interest.
