A 4X5 crop that includes 3 pillars and creates the perspective that leads the eye to the distant bathers. A slight rotation was made to correct the horizon.
Bit of a Flickr slow-down while I struggle with a non-Adobe workflow for the first time in a long time (trying to break the addiction). I'm also pausing the 'pro' account on a trial basis, while I save up to buy a dozen eggs.
So hopefully all have a fine weekend. I'll be shooting a little but may or may not get more images up. I won't be Flickring much tonight but will try to fave from the mobile.
#sliderssunday
Explored November 15, 2020
Before I continue my casual series of the Berlin Olympic Stadium, here's another photo from my visit to the Olympic Village of 1936 with 3-day-beard / 3-tage-bart, bananahh, and magritknapp.
Heavily (over-)processed for Sliders Sunday. It shows the Olympic Village's gym. I wish it were possible to re-visit the Olympic Village (or what is left of it) with a tripod and a wider lens, but guided tours have been discontinued in 2020 – not because of the Corona/Covid-19 situation, but because the site of the Olympic Village is under (re-)construction as a housing area called "G.O.L.D. Gartenstadt Olympisches Dorf von 1936®" ("Gold Garden City Olympic Village of 1936"). So actually we were very, very lucky to still have gotten hold of a tour back in September 2018 – a once-in-a-lifetime photographic opportunity. It also means that I have to make do with the photographic yield achieved mostly with my little Lumix LX100 (and without a tripod, because I thought that I couldn't bring one – a stupid mistake).
In 2018 the Lumix had still been new and I hadn't figured out all the functions properly, yet (well, I still haven't); this image would have definitely benefited from the use of the HDR bracketing mode, but it simply hadn't been on my radar back then. So this image also was the ultimate test for the new DxO Photo Lab 4: an image with obvious flaws such as lots of noise and mushy details. DxO PL 4 has a new AI de-noising technology called "Deep Prime" (which only works with RAW files, so make sure to process the file in DxO first before you export it to LR). And I must say that I'm quite impressed. Since this image is obviously more about atmosphere than image quality I also added a subtle HDR look in HDR Efex (preset "End of the road" tweaked to my liking and blended in with the original file in PS at 79 % opacity); I like the soft glow and slightly painterly look HDR Efex added to it. I hope you like it, too, and that you can forgive the poor all-over image quality :)
And speaking of atmosphere: The photo board in the background displays original images from the Olympic Summer Games of 1936 – and the image on the far right is a portrait of Jesse Owens, the athlete who dominated the games of '36. This, the lifetime friendship he had built with German long jumper Luz Long (Long was fatally injured during WWII in 1943, but the Owens and Long families have stayed in contact to this day), and the fact Jesse Owens also was the undisputed crowd favourite, publicly reduced the ugly racist ideology of the Nazi regime to absurdity – alas, as we all know, only for those two summer weeks of 1936...
Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone, have a safe and healthy new week ahead, dear Flickr friends, and take care!
Bevor es mit meiner losen Serie von Berliner Olympiastadion weitergeht, streue ich für den Sliders Sunday ein weiteres Foto vom Olympischen Dorf in Elstal ein. Da die (geführten) Touren dort leider eingestellt wurden (nicht etwa wegen der Corona-Situation, sondern weil mittlerweile die Bauarbeiten für die neue Wohnanlage "G.O.L.D. Gartenstadt Olympisches Dorf von 1936®" weiter fortgeschritten sind), war der Besuch dort (zusammen mit 3-day-beard / 3-tage-bart, bananahh, and magritknapp) tatsächlich eine einmalige fotografische Gelegenheit – und das bedeutet auch, dass ich mit den Fotos vorliebnehmen muss, die ich damals überwiegend mit meiner kleinen Lumix LX100 (und blöderweise ohne Stativ, weil ich dachte, ich dürfte keins mitbringen) gemacht habe.
Insbesondere diese Aufnahme hätte sicher von der Verwendung des HDR-Belichtungsreihen-Modus profitiert, aber da die Kamera damals noch recht neu war, hatte ich diese Feinheiten noch nicht auf dem Schirm gehabt. Das Resultat ist, insbesondere hier, sicher eindeutig mehr unter Atmosphäre denn unter Bildqualität einzuordnen. Eine Einzelaufnahme, bei der aufgrund der schwierigen Lichtverhältnisse in der Turnhalle des Olympischen Dorfes die dunklen Bereiche nach dem Aufhellen reichlich verrauscht sowie nur noch mit spärlichen Details versehen waren. Da konnte sich dann gleich mal das gerade erschienene DxO Photo Lab 4 beweisen. Und ich finde, das Resultat kann sich durchaus sehen lassen, wenn man ein Auge zudrückt ;) DxO hat das brandneue KI-Entrauschungstool "Deep Prime" an Bord, das tatsächlich mit zu dem Besten zählt, was es momentan in diesem Bereich gibt (wie z.B. Topaz DeNoise AI, das auch hervorragende Arbeit leistet, aber DxO legt hier noch einmal eine Schippe drauf). "Deep Prime" funktioniert übrigens nur mit den originalen RAW-Dateien, sodass man den Workflow entsprechend anpassen muss: Die (Vor-)Entwicklung in DxO muss der erste Schritt sein, erst danach kann man z.B. in LR oder anderen Programmen weitermachen.
Hier habe ich das Foto nach den grundlegenden Anpassungen nur noch in HDR Efex nachberabeitet, ausgehend vom Preset "Ende der Straße" (zu finden unter "Surreal"), das ich noch angepasst habe und anschließend mit dem Originalbild in PS mit 79 % Deckkraft überblendet habe. Also, wie gesagt, seid bitte bzgl. Bildqualität / Details / Schärfe dieses Mal nicht ganz so streng :)
Apropos Atmosphäre: Die Fotowand im Hintergrund zeigt Originalbilder der Spiele von 1936 – und ganz rechts seht Ihr ein Portrait von Jesse Owens, dem unangefochtenen Star der Spiele. Die sportliche Überlegenheit Jesse Owens', die Freundschaft mit dem deutschen Weitsprung-Star Luz Long (die übrigens bis heute von beiden Familien gepflegt wird, auch wenn Long bereits 1943 im Krieg tödlich verwundet wurde) sowie die Tatsache, dass Owens der absolute Publikumsliebling war, führten damals die hässliche Nazi-Rassentheorie öffentlich ad absurdum. Aber, wie wir alle wissen, leider nur während jener zwei Wochen im Sommer 1936...
Ich wünsche Euch einen guten Start in die neue Woche, passt auf Euch auf und bleibt gesund!
Someone asked me how I processed my photos which led me to write my workflow out on my "About" page. After some confusion, I decided to do a visual as you see in the attached image.
Yet another daylight long exposure landscape shoot - I am quickly becoming addicted to daylight long exposure! Manual mode same as last to get more experience. I chose f/16 to allow for the exposure time I wanted (15-20 secs)
Thanks again to Adam and his Landscape Masterclass at First Man Photography - without that I really wouldn't have considered going manual and not even gotten the shot because going through that masterclass has made me rethink how I shoot landscapes. I am still learning; I still struggle when looking for interesting subjects and also the composition. Also, ISO, aperture and shutterspeed is something I still need to incorporate into my workflow for each shot because I tend to forget checking and setting them. Heh.
During the pandemic, I've been using my cell phone for almost all my pictures. I just wanted to pass along my workflow for others who haven't tried their phones yet. Just remember that a RAW file gives you much more room to adjust contrast.
Do you have a photo-taking workflow?
Before I pull out the “big camera,” I sometimes snap a quick iPhone pic to check composition and lighting. Sometimes it tells me everything I need to know, like whether to shift left, crouch down, or just give up and go get some eggs benedict for brekky at a cafe. And when my wide-angle lens isn’t quite wide enough, it's iPhone panorama to the rescue! It’s quicker than taking multiple shots with the OM-1 and stitching later. Lazy or efficient? You decide.
Fun Fact Time - The Goldfish Edition!
Have you ever wondered how long goldfish live? Most pet goldfish clock in around 5–10 years. But some have gone the distance......
The oldest was Goldie (45 yrs). A very solid name choice in my opinion. He never made it into the Guinness Book of Records due to a lack of official paperwork. While he was alive, Goldie garnered international media attention, and his family the Evans family donated any money earned by Goldie’s appearances to charity to help children with physical disabilities. How cool is that, a philanthropist goldfish!
Other notable characters in the geriatric goldfish club include:
Tish (1956-1999) – the official Guinness title holder at 43 years old. In 1988 Tish had a brush with death when he leapt out of his bowl and landed on the carpet. His mum Tilda wasn't home but luckily, when she found him & placed him back into the water, he resumed swimming as if nothing had happened. I wonder if he remembered or if every trip around the goldfish bowl was new to him! Over the years, as he aged, Tish’s scales turned from bright orange to silver, matching the colour of Hilda’s hair. That's kinda sweet.
Fred (42) and George (44). Keith & Mary Allies from Worcester UK won the pair of fish at a fair in 1974, when they were only dating. Since then, the married couple kept the goldfish, who outlived two of their dogs. They passed in 2017 & 2019. Fred & George that is, not Keith & Mary! My takeaway - a couple who raise goldfish together, stay together!
Splash (38) and Splish (36) - Haley and Matthew Wright never did anything particularly special to care for Splash. He swam around his tank all day, ate regular fish food, and fed on live plants in his tank. Splish and Splash were funfair prizes won by the Wrights in 1977 (bit of a common theme there). Mr. Wright believes that Splash mourned for Splish when he was no longer around. PS If it is annoying I listed splash before splish you may be OCD ;)
Sharkey (24) – I reckon best name, hands down! Another goldfish who survived a near death experience. His owner Paul's mother found him belly up in his bowl. She thought he was dead and flushed him down the toilet. However, Sharky was still alive and swam back up the pipe and was saved in time. I guess he felt a bit shitty about that ;)
Bob (20) from the UK – well, it's a solid name for sure. I wonder if it is because he "Bobbed" up and down in his bowl? Bob experienced his 15 minutes of fame in 2017 when his family noticed that he was struggling to swim and developed a lump on his fin. They decided to spend $250 on an operation to save his life. I'm pleased to report the operation was successful and Bob fully recovered. The doc said that his family was very pleased with the outcome as Bob was older than their children and considered part of their family.
I hope these goldfish ramblings brighten your day. Thanks kindly for any likes/comments, they are always appreciated.
Waterscape 34/100 in 2025
This is the kind of scene that drove me to plunge into nightscapes and Astro photography. I have taken/composed images I’m quite pleased with, but none have so many elements as this one. I was scouting locations proximate to Kanab, Utah where I was planning to attend the Nightscaper conference. I was a little sour on Lake Powell because the easy to reach locations are kind of “meh” at least if you are familiar. I wasn’t willing to spring for a boat rental, so I wasn’t giving it much thought. Then I learned about Alstrom Point.
Reachable with some ground clearance required. I was pretty sure my Prius wouldn’t qualify and was definitely not willing to chance it. Turns out the route is passable with a Forester if you are careful—most folks had even better clearance. As the crow flies, you are not far from Page, AZ, so despite traveling more than an hour off pavement, still sitting with full cell service.
All the nights away from home on this trip were clear, but I am glad this was the last location I visited. Having the car right there also lets me use all the hardware. I was using my tracker and telescope early in the evening to do some DSO imaging while waiting for the Milky Way to rise. I kept the tracker going for this composite - 4 landscape aspect images with the sky and land shot separately, but at about the same time.
Shot with a Canon EOS Ra and a Samyang 14mm f2.8 lens. Sky: Tracked, 20 shots, ISO 1600, 30s at each azimuth. Land: Single images, fixed tripod, ISO 1600, 300s. The 20 sky images are stacked using Starry Sky Stacker (appropriate for tracked sky). I process the sky with a modified DSO workflow that pays extra attention to color faithfulness (at least compared to earlier techniques I’ve employed!) and tries to keep the histogram from being blown out in stretching. I did emphasize the saturation of the H-alpha clouds in the Milky Way. The landscape was processed mostly in Lightroom and using Nik Color Efex mostly for contrast control and to soften some of it—very grainy from the long exposures.
May you too dream beneath the desert sky.
Peace & cheers!

Said Bear has had a word with me about improving my workflow - whatever that means - and we published this picture directly from within Shotwell (a photo manager for Linux).
Said Bear has definitely settled into his new home, and I think he is actually taking over. No bad thing tbh.

Side-lit diffused sun, against a black board, lit to zone2.
Toned in LR6 to emulate chlorobromide tonality (of papers such as Agfa Record Rapid developed in Agfa WA). This is not toned; many photographers of my age and older used this workflow as standard as an alternative to the "cold" tones of bromide paper.
Part of my "workflow" is, after I've hacked and sawed on a picture for a while, I look at the original to see if I've gone...too far. In this case, I may have overdone it just a smidge. See the previous picture.
I enjoy hacking and sawing, so I really do have to check to see that I have not lost the plot.
Usually, when I make a different version of a picture, I wait a while before posting it. In this case, I thought it would be interesting to show the pictures next to each other.
After thoroughly creepyfying the picture I looked at the original and thought, "dang, it was pretty creepy to start with."
So I present the original to you so you can compare. Creepyfied versus just going with flow. Other than the crop, this is SOOC. This is one of the reasons I like to hunt for murder shacks on overcast days...they already have some atmosphere.

Second image in my Autumn Leaves series...
Our bird bath sits below our River Birch tree. During the summer few leaves are dropping so the bath stays quite clear and clean. Not so when autumn arrives.
Here is my workflow that produced this photograph:
I first captured the scene with my iPhone 14 Pro Max, then edited it with my Aperture program. I finished it with a frame that i created with an online editor called PicMonkey.com
Enjoy!
This is more of a test shot. I've been avoiding several 'new' Darktable modules like Filmic etc. and the their scene-referred workflow. For this one I used the recommended ones, and avoided the modules (like the old curves one) that the manual warned against in this workflow. Let's just say I'm not deeply unhappy, but not sold either. We'll see.

It's always fun to learn that there are roads and places within a well-visited (by me) county that I've never seen before. And under certain light (even shitty meridian light), there's something I can more or less do with a camera.
The damage to this negative was through user error. I clearly dropped some fixer or water or something on the sheet prior to development. No idea how that happened, but it could have been worse.
But really, it doesn't matter. What I enjoy about film is that everything that goes into a photo is part of the photo (if you want it to be).
For X-ray film that means: the cutting, the loading, the shooting, the unloading, the storage, the development, the fixing and finally (for me) the scanning (for others, continue this list with whatever printing workflow you've got going on).
Of course, this is the same for most film, (usually apart from the cutting thing). But X-ray film acts as a sort of catalog of everyone little mistake you've made along the way. Apart from the actual exposure, this film is unforgiving.
You'll notice the white border around the image, just inside the black boarder created by the film holder. Is this from over agitation in the tray? Obviously, there was some fogging or a very very slight light leak on the right of the frame. But what of the sort of anti-vignetting around the whole thing? It's prevalent through most/basically all of the sheets. I've never seen that before.

Washington
August 2022
Having photographed London from southeast of the Thames twice over the past few years -- from Butler's Wharf, and then again from Tea Trade Wharf -- it was nice to return to the area, albeit from a much higher vantage point. I had become aware through several fellow photographers of a residential block providing a breathtaking view from its terrace, and on a recent evening I was lucky enough to be able to take in not only the view of the city but the stunning sunset over it.
This image is a blend of nearly 30 exposures, captured over 90 minutes and combining elements from sunset, dusk and twilight. Despite heavy and slow-moving clouds which had threatened to snuff out the light at the end of the day, the sun emerged above the horizon for a few minutes, setting the sky alight before blue hour began and as the lights across the cityscape began to switch on. Identifying the moments that best conveyed these stages of the evening from a selection of more than 200 exposures, and using luminosity masks to balance the shadows across the cityscape with both the sunlight and the lights inside the buildings, I edited three images and then merged them, taking the sunset from the first image and the colourful dusk tones in the clouds from the second and blending these with the night lights from the third.
Achieving this required a tailored workflow for each of the three images, including three sets of luminosity masks and a number of blend modes and gradient masks to make the mixture of exposures as seamless as possible. With this phase of the editing process complete, the colour-grading phase was straightforward. I left the sky almost unchanged, emphasising the reds and magentas in the clouds by using a Colour Lookup set to Soft Light and using the Fall Colours preset. I wanted to keep the light trails in the lower-left of the frame without them becoming a distraction, so I gently desaturated the yellows and reds in the foreground and brought out the dusk tones using a combination of Colour Balance adjustments and a Colour Lookup using the Foggy Night preset, which, at low opacity, had the benefit of softening some of the immediate details and hopefully guiding viewers' eyes towards the landmarks along the horizon. Finally, using a Gradient Map, I tweaked the colder midtones and shadows and the warmer highlights until the colour and exposure across the image felt balanced.
Inside Nik's Colour Efex Pro, I targeted the Pro Contrast filter to the clouds to emphasise their texture, as well as a sparing amount of Tonal Contrast to the cityscape to give it a little more definition. Conversely, I applied very minute amounts of the Glamour Glow and Sunlight filters to the setting sun, creating a hazy and ethereal glow on the horizon that seemed to convey the romanticism of the scene. My aim with this image was to convey the mood at the same time as the details: the vivid transition of light and colour during sunset as well as the densely packed detail of Rotherhithe's buildings in the foreground and the vibrant energy of the cityscape in the distance, with Tower Bridge and St Paul's at the centre of the frame and flanked by the Shard and the City on either side of the Thames. I couldn't have asked for more perfect conditions on this warm summer evening, and as happy as I am with the end result, I think the experience -- both of taking in the view and witnessing such a colourful end to the day -- is the part that will stay with me.

HDR black and white photography by Timothy Selvage. HDR with figure blended in at higher ISO. There was more info in the highlights but I decided to create a more realistic feel to this image. Just because you have all the avaliable information doesn't necessarily mean you have to show it. Well, that's how I'm feeling... maybe only until I sort out my graphics card.
I've been wanting to develope a new non-destructive workflow using smart objects, filters in combination with layer masks, however my poor laptop keeps dying on me. I think that the graphics card isn't up to the job which resulted in me processing some of my images in a more simple way (until I can either fix my graphics card, or upgrade my computer).

You've probably noticed it already... but for those who haven't... there's this viral thing going around Facebook at the moment where photographers challenge each other to post five black & white photos in 5 days... and to nominate one other person for every photo that they post.
So last week my buddy Mike Scott invited me to participate in the 5 in 5 B&W challenge. At first I thought it was a really lame idea... I only ever see the world in colour... so why should I post black & white photos!? I have been known to post the occaaaasional monochrome photo... but only when the colours are so flat that they don't add anything extra to the image.
But after thinking it all over for a few days... I decided that this challenge was probably a good thing... it would force me to try something different... force me to step out of my colour comfort zone and see the world in a more artistic way. So I dug deep into my archives and reprocessed a five image panorama that I shot at Namibia's iconic "Dead Vlei" way back in September 2009. After I'd processed with my standard workflow... I converted it to black & white with the Nik Silver Efex filter plugin. But no matter how much I tweaked the photo in Silver Efex... I still preferred the original colour version... damn!
But then I adjusted the opacity of the mono layer in Photoshop... thereby reintroducing a little bit of colour to my mono conversion. I stopped at 80% opacity... hey this works for me... sure it's not a true black & white photo... but it certainly ain't a colour photo!
Sorry Mike... I tried but failed.
I now challenge Jan Zwilling to post 5 black & white photos within the next 5 days.

Minarets – Ediza Lake – Ansel Adams Wilderness
This is a scene I captured in 2009. Back then I processed a three-shot HDR version, which after recently reviewing, I decided that I was not happy with the final image. Back then, I had very minimal Photoshop skills, and I thought HDR would be the best way to process the shot.
As I have now developed a workflow using Adobe Raw, I decided to re-process this single image. Final tweaks were still performed in Photoshop.
A 6.5 mile hike is required to access this Sierra Wilderness gem. The destination makes the hard work worth it, as you arrive at Ediza Lake, idyllically nestled below Mt. Ritter, Mt. Banner and The Minarets.
