The Great Northern Warehouse, Manchester
A Friday night spent in the company of fellow Flickrites Eddie Coulson and Mark Dixon, who was on taxi duty at the Manchester Apollo where a certain One Direction star was performing - a Mr Niall Horan and that's as much as all three of us know about the fellow. So it was left to Eddie and myself to keep him safe for a couple of hours while in the northern capital.
This was our last but one stop off and a shot I'd kind of seen in my head, but in reality, couldn't get the angle right and the image came out converging badly, even with the wide-angle. So it's sat in the archives all these months. However, if at first you don't succeed... have another crack at it. The transform tool in RAW has some good tricks now and the guide line method has made a decent job of correcting it.
But that's only half of the transformation...
The Great Northern Warehouse is the former railway goods warehouse of the Great Northern Railway in Manchester city centre, England, which was refurbished into a leisure complex in 1999. The building is at the junction of Deansgate and Peter Street. It was granted Grade II* listed building status in 1974.
The warehouse was built to be fireproof with a steel frame on a rectangular plan, 267 feet long by 217 feet wide and five storeys high, with 27 windows on the east and west sides and 17 windows on the north and south ends. All four sides have friezes lettered in white brick reading "Great Northern Railway Company's Goods Warehouse". It was built above the Manchester and Salford Junction Canal, and a dock beneath was constructed to allow goods to be transferred to and from canal barges via shafts and a complex system of haulage using hydraulic power. It is a "unique survival of a three-way railway goods exchange station, serving the railway, canal and road networks of the Manchester region."
The development was owned by Capital & Regional and comprised an AMC cinema, MCR235 casino, James Martin Manchester restaurant, All Star Lanes bowling alley, bar and restaurant, a Lifestyle Fitness gym, and a multi-storey car park operated by National Car Parks although I'm not too sure what still remains.
However, in 2013 it was acquired by Trilogy and Peterson Group who have been developing and implementing proposals in collaboration with Manchester City Council to bring this strategically important and historically significant site back to life.
I hope they do a better job of it second time round...
It's Friday!! Not sure where the days of the week go ... just know that this week went by fast.
Today's image is one of the images, with accompanying stories, from the most recent blog post. Highlighting the activities and birds of the natural rookeries of south Florida. So many of these birds undergo amazing transformations during the breeding season. Each spring colors begin to pop, plumage gets accentuated, and many other changes ... most not too subtle, as shown with this tri-colored heron. They begin to strut their stuff to attract a mate. Often becoming a bit more territorial, they are quite the subjects to photograph ... or even just observe ... as they fly around close by and do their courtship dance. It's my favorite time of year for birds, that's for sure. :-)
Sorry that I've been quite busy lately. Have had lots of family obligations out of the ordinary. Hopefully things will get back to a more normal pace soon. Thanks so much for your patience.
Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend ahead. TGIF!! If you like, take a peek at the blog at www.tnwaphotography.wordpress.com.

She's almost Black Widow, but I have to take a break... For sleep and stuff.
She going to be so pretty. I saw Civil War this past weekend. Loved it! That's the hair I'm going for here. That and Iron Man 2 hair.
"Step this way, Lord Abercrombie! I thought you might prefer to use the rear entrance. Next door - at No.3 Westmoreland Mews - I have a girl waiting I'd like you to meet: Lady Lulu. I think you two will get on splendidly!
"Lulu has only joined us in the last month, and she is very excited and enthusiastic about her work here at The Salon. At her interview - when I asked exactly what aroused her in a man - she replied: "Maturity. Achievement. Wealth. Leadership. Power. I have no interest in those handsome young charmers, who have nothing substantial behind them....
"Lady Lulu also has some most unusual and intriguing extras to offer, which I am sure she will be delighted to show you herself - if you would care to step this way, into her boudoir...."
Toodle Pip!
Love and Kisses to All My Friends and Fans!

Today I had a wonderful transformation in Tokyo. I were planning a hiking tour to Fuji, but bad weather changed my plans and suddenly my Sunday got free. As it usually is, spontaneous decisions and surprises are very positive. So was my experience by meeting lovely Reiko. If you ever in Japan, dont miss an opportunity to visit her place - en.trans-formation.me/. She has made my Sunday in #tokyo. More lovely images to come. Feeling very happy now and smiling
This is how I bend down to peep through The Salon's two-way mirror – as I spy on my husband and his new lover, Sir Charles Dexter!
As I watch, they are in ‘flagrante delicto’ together, in my hubby’s personal boudoir at The Salon. Hubby is in his “Lulu” persona – a devastatingly sexy femme fatale and seductress, who looks as if she has just wandered off a 1950s Hollywood sound stage. "Lulu" is dressed today in seamed black stockings, crotchless black nylon panties (for easy access!), a lacy black garter belt, a quarter-cup lacy black bra, and (a nice touch!) very long black opera gloves that reach almost up to the armpits.
Now I understand exactly why Sir Charles was so keen to give my husband all that extra “training” before his engagement as Sissy Maid Prudence with the D’or Baleine family! The training was simply an excuse. The two have become passionate lovers, and are spending as much time as they can in the boudoir. And here’s the rub – I am becoming extremely aroused by watching my gorgeously femininized husband being deeply penetrated by the athletic and magnificently equipped Sir Charles.
Both are clearly deriving immense pleasure from each other’s bodies. And I – Lady Rebecca Georgina Arabella Lyndon, Duchess of Basingstoke – am totally turned-on from watching this deliciously erotic spectacle!
Lady Rebecca Lyndon has become a “husband watcher”!!
Toodle Pip!

All my work has moved to OSR Photography Please see me there.....
A friend of a friend very kindly allowed me to take images of their transformation from male to female.
The present moment
contains past and future.
The secret of transformation,
is in the way we handle this very moment.

What my coffee maker does to cold milk, turns it to hot, frothy, thickness...yum!
Model Matriix
The orbs aren't photoshopped - they're real light orbs from sunflare shining in the phone box. (Only colour, sharpness and contrast was played with in post production.) Perhaps my model really is Superman :)
This is not the photo I envisioned when I took it. But it is the photo that came to fruition after processing.

For today's Monday flower greeting, I'm not showing you a flower for once, but rather the seeds of a winter cherry flower. To be more precise, there are four of them.
Here you can see different stages in the transformation of an already beautiful lantern into a true masterpiece of nature, which I am absolutely fascinated by every year. That's why I have to organize a photo session with them at least once every year. If I didn't know that they were lying in my garden like that, I would doubt that something like that was even real.
I also made other pictures where you can see the delicate details of this grid structure even better. But you'll have to wait a little longer for that.
And so I wish you this week a glimpse of the beauty of the "little" things and the wonders of everyday life.
Since we have all been subject to continuous transformation since our birth )and even before), I don't need to wish this on you. That happens anyway. However, I wish you that these changes will help your beauty (inside and out) shine through for everyone (and most of all for yourself).
An meinem heutigen montäglichen Blumengruß zeige ich Euch ausnahmsweise mal keine Blüte sondern den Samen einer Lampionblume. Genauer gesagt sind es sogar deren vier.
Ihr seht hier unterschiedliche Stadien bei der Transformation eines bereits schönen Lampions zu einem wahren Meisterwerk der Natur, von dem ich jedes Jahr wieder absolut fasziniert bin. Darum muss ich auch jedes Jahr mindestens einmal eine Fotosession mit ihnen veranstalten. Wenn ich nicht wüsste, dass die so bei mir im Garten lagen würde ich zweifeln, dass so etwas überhaupt real ist.
Ich habe auch noch andere Bilder gemacht, wo man die filigranen Details dieser Gitternetz Struktur noch besser erkennnen kann. Auf die müsst Ihr aber noch ein wenig warten.
Und so wünsche ich Euch für diese Woche einen Blick für die Schönheit der "kleinen" Dinge und die Wunder des täglichen Lebens.
Da wir alle seit unserer Geburt (und bereits davor) einer ununterbrochenen Transformation unterworfen sind, brauch ich Euch das nicht wünschen. Das passiert sowieso. Jedoch wünsche ich Euch, dass diese Veränderungen dazu beitragen, dass Eure Schönheit (innen und außen) für alle (und am meisten für Euch selbst) richtig zur Geltung kommt.

A little transformation Tuesday for you! This starts on the left in 2011 and goes to modern day in 2015!
Alternating Current transformers share the stage with a Honey Locust tree transforming to winter mode. Utah County, Utah.
In almost no time at all after the wetting rains the landscape transformed into a vivid green cover of grass which with continued rains grew over the month to over waist height. The intensity of the green seemed quite unreal.
This week in SSC:
"Art in general...create an image inspired by one of the artists"
Take a photo of any subject you like and transform it into a work of art using post-processing.
Can you guess which artist was my inspiration here? I don't know too much about him but I did watch a "made for TV" movie on him back in the 1980s. Think French, think Polynesia....
I think this post-processing really transformed my little tub of spring flowers. I like it this way too. It's so warm. I wound up using Luna Pic for my post-processing. (You can see the original down below.)
