Taken in my local park on a foggy morning. This shot was originally taken in colour and converted to sepia, with no other manipulation of the shot.
The tree bears the scars of a lightning strike.
I have been learning about Pictorialism and trying to emulate that style
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pictorialism
'One of the primary forces behind the rise of pictorialism was the belief that straight photography was purely representational ‒ that it showed reality without the filter of artistic interpretation. It was for, all intents and purposes, a simple record of the visual facts, lacking artistic intent or merit'

An image taken when I was in New Mexico photographing an Indian Day School in Sanostee, near Ship Rock. It was a pretty breezy evening with red dust blowing. I turned around to get the wind out of my face, and this is the view I saw. That's Mitten Rock on the right and the road is Indian Service Rte 13 heading towards Arizona.
Lower Antelope Canyon in Page Arizona was our last stop in a week long trip to National parks in the area before we hit the Las Vegas. Last time I was here in afternoon so could not see the different shades of Red color which only is visible in morning time and you can see so many colors changing from here as morning sun rises above.
Rough, busy day?
Stare at this image I took at White Pocket for atleast 10 seconds and I guarantee you will feel more relaxed!

In dreams, I see shapes and colors like these and I hear music as the shapes and colors change. It seems perfect to imagine those feelings and sensations with fractals.
AB FAV for today…

I had been 'playing' with this concept for a while in my head. I called it (instead of the Silence of the Lambs) the Silence of the Bird. When I had the final result, it came to me immediately: VISUAL SILENCE.
I don't often 'dive' into the digital 'magical' darkroom that photoshop can be, but for certain projects it is a great creative tool!
Here, in the case of visual silence, what is being absorbed is not sound but gaze.
If silence is the absence of noise, then this visual silence is defined as the gradual absence, the vanishing, of what surrounds it, where we burrow from the visible surface to the invisible core. Our focus on the image involves a diminution of the optic field:
in this sense, visual silence is like a poem, its power arising from its sheer vulnerability. The image cannot be penetrated even by the most powerful of gazes because it is already open, in full view... and yet the transparency of the image, one that does not attempt to hide anything, is still capable of mystery.
Visual silence arrests us because it is the interface between two realms of partial knowledge: between he who does not know he is being watched and those who do not know what they are watching.
Some images leave us speechless, we watch them in silent awe.
Ultimately the camera is merely an extension of the human eye, it only sees and cannot wholly know what it is seeing.
May PEACE be with you and thanx for everything, M, (*_*)

Visual Magick’s Igneous mods for the Kobold are beautiful beyond words! I’m wearing Lava, and its definitely HOT! I had a lot of fun playing with particle fire to take the last 2 photos. :)
not sure what to say about this image......simply messing around yesterday with old photos and this is one of the things that happened.
Well I’m sure it’s pretty obvious where this started from, not.
It’s another great photographic idea that flopped on implementation and subsequently to be repurposed for Sliders Sunday. Originally it was a picture of water boiling in the bottom of a pan, taken on a whim while on holiday.
Great idea. Pity about the steam clouding the image, lol.
The Topaz Glow filter, for me, is a bit like a banned substance I guess (and I have to guess ;) )...I have withdrawal problems if I don’t get a regular dose of it...
Glow needs two things to work well at this abstract end of its possible uses: some sort of linear structure to seed its collagen building algorithms and some interesting colour. The boiling water (so the idea went) was all interesting circles for the structure, but the question was how to add colour, zap, zing, pizazz and general psychedelia?
So I created a layer formed from two overlaid conical rainbow gradients and blended that with the bubbles using Soft Light. I then used a Mirror distortion filter with 6 mirrors to get the sixfold symmetry (I’ll link to the original bubbles and this interim stage - where you can just still make the bubbles out - in the first comment).
Then the real fun started. Into Topaz Glow starting with one of the Neon presets, and then sliding the sliders to taste…
Back into Affinity Photo for mangling with the hue, saturation, contrast, colour curves (LAB) and a bit of Clarity filter. And there you have it, well apart from a black frame and a blue internal shadow :)
Thanks for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image (legally) :) Happy Sliders Sunday!!
some of my long time flickr friends may "get"
this more readily , knowing that most often i
can be found in a garden , either whenever
the seasonal maintenance & climate allows
OR
-- those regions of my mind may propel --
ps: HFF and happy positive resolutions 😃

Much of my time these days is spent on work and family and photography has totally taken a backseat for many months now. In fact, my impatient 9 year old daughter was waiting and whining behind me as I was making this shot. I had to find ways to resuscitate my lost creativity nowadays and continue my visual journey...
My apologies for the very rare visits to your streams nowadays.

Tacoma waterfront is a great place to vision moody, dramatic waterscape scenes. Soft pastel skies and smooth water work well together.

I don't know what Marbled Hot Springs Rd. would be without the American Bitterns! While we were there the reeds hadn't had a chance to grow very tall so the Bitterns were pretty easy to spot. Raising their heads up generally in position with the vertical reeds I'm sure they are imagening they are hidden from sight...I didn't realize until this picture what an incredible 'visual perspective' they have of everything around them in this position!

Winter Wetlands, Morning. Sacramento Valley, California. January 8, 2016. © Copyright 2016 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
Flooded Sacramento Valley wetlands in the early morning
While I tell myself that I go to places like this to photograph birds, the truth is that little spots like this one may be more my target. Imagine waking many hours before dawn, and against your instincts starting to move quickly and efficiently to arise, make breakfast, fix lunch, brew coffee, and load a car. Then drive many hours in the dark, radio playing, as the invisible landscape slides past and the world consists mostly of what I see in the headlight beams. Getting close to my destination the sky begins to glow a bit, but I'm still driving, in the world of a noisy car and freeway speeds.
Finally I leave the freeway and drive a relatively short distance to my Central Valley destination. My first stop is still all business — arriving, I park and change into cold weather clothing and set up camera and lenses and get back in the car. I start out on some gravel road around the area I've chosen to photograph, though the sun has yet to rise, and I'm focused on finding birds to photograph. A bit later I finally begin to slow down, and with the car windows rolled down in the cold morning air I stop and turn the motor off and sit next to a place like this one and everything is finally still.

My favourite time of year is Fall because it is such a visual delight. The wonderful colors, the smell in the air and everything that goes with it. This area of Fish Creek shows a river gently winding through an area of colorful trees.

The change on these Persimmon leaves is visually pretty. I had no idea they would have pink on them.

Chameleons are absolutely fascinating animals. They are able to watch in two different directions at the same time.
