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.

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.
I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that top pulled down and that radio on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong

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
Captured: Blydenburgh Park -- Smithtown, NY.
Last night I decided to go back and re-work one of my favorite shots that I had captured in Blydenburgh Park...
I've since improved my post-processing workflow, and feel this is more representative of what I was looking to accomplish with this image. I feel this is a much nicer version of the noisy, and virtually radioactive attempt that I posted early on in my photostream. ;)
About the location... Pictured here is a view of Old Stump Pond just after sunset -- which is always a popular spring time spot for boating and fishing (especially for those w/ hip waders).
* * * * * * * * * *
"Hip Deep in Reflective Waters (Revisited)" is an HDR image constructed from 3 bracketed shots using a 2 stop differential. The shot was processed in ACR, tone mapped w/ Photomatix, and later finished in Photoshop.
Ps processing also includes the use of Topaz Labs plugins -- Denoise, Clean, Adjust, Detail and LensFX.
There are some rapeseed fields in our countryside this year. This is not a fact to hit the headlines, of course; rather, I should pass under silence the fact that I have seen those fields blooming until they have become glowing golden patches nestled in the green plain without even thinking of capture them with my camera. Shame upon me for my carelessness. All the flowers are gone now, but I had managed to set up a small sunset session before they were utterly lost. The scene was very peaceful and endowed with an enchanted ambiance - from time to time a breath of wind brushed the flowers and a multitude of tiny voices merged in a solemn choir, raising a prayer towards the sky.
It was not a great sunset, really: the sunset in itself was not too good - great clouds to begin with, but the sun was stubbornly hiding himself, so the golden rapeseed flowers were a bit spoiled; and the white flowers of the locust trees as well. Nevertheless I tried some shooting - there are some little magics in my postprocessing toolkit after all, so I hoped to get some decent pictures anyway.
I have worked in postprocessing this bracketing for quite some time and I have mixed feelings about it, but I am afraid that this is the best result I can get from the original photos; moreover, I am just starting using Darktable and I assume that my results there are definitely less than suboptimal. However in my workflow postprocessing is a voyage of the soul, an adventure I enjoy just as much as I enjoyed the actual shooting - and Darktable is part of all this. I envision postprocessing as a chance to interpret my shots by endowing them with my inner vision and my mood & feelings in that precious moment. This can take some time, and the road is paved with wrong moves and blind alleys; but here it is, at last. I am aware that the result of this long creative process is far from perfect (in other words, I have still much more to learn than I have already learnt ;-), but I think it is decent enough to be shared with other fellows photographers.
I have obtained this picture by blending an exposure bracketing [-1.3/0/+1.3 EV] by luminosity masks in the Gimp (EXIF data, as usual, refer to the "normal exposure" shot), then I added some final touches with Nik Color Efex Pro 4. I used Darktable to process the raw files.
- Thanks to everyone who looked at my picture, favors and have commented. Please press "L" or "Z" for a large view - an absolute must to fully enjoy this picture!
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.

No, Kurt aka Ian Sane has not hijacked my flickr account. Still me, still trying out new things. I had Kurt in mind when I processed this shot, as it reminded me of something that he might take. If you haven't seen his work, head on over and check it out. You won't be disappointed.
I have a bunch of HDRs that I want to post, but I am trying to not post wide angle cityscapes everyday. Just switching it up a bit. Don't worry though, HDR is still my one true photography love!
Took this one a little while back before a Penguins game. It was absolutely freezing, bitterly cold out, and I actually had to wait for the people to get in the shot before I took it. Not a very pleasant wait!
New blog post too, Bokeh with a chance of a Fleury!
Oh yeah, Steve, Mikul, Craig, Mike, Dwayne and Bruce, next time I am in your respective areas of the world, the first round is on me! Guiness it is!
Thanks for stopping by everyone!

Sigh . . . so loved this session . . . back to my favorite window in the whole wide world . . . just always gives such amazing light.
And edited with my soft pop action from my Workflow set and then blur and texture added with my Urban set . . .
Sometimes I wish I had recorded my workflow especially when the results are like this. I tried very hard to replicate it with another similar image but got nowhere near.
