The workflow to process your photos is for many photographers a well kept secret.
Left: Direct from the scanner and unprocessed. Here the image looks very bad, and most of you wouldn’t even take the time to process the file. But if it wasn't for that I really knew that I got something that morning, I wouldn't too.
Middle: Color corrected, I set every channel with curves. Spot removal (there is a lot when I scan by myself =) Lighten it up a little with Levels. Then re sized the image to around 1800pix.
Right: The final crop, sometimes you have to see the image within the image. One more layer of curves, because in this image I was needed to reduce the red tones in its highlights a little more. Sharpening if needed. The last thing I do is to put that white frame around. For me, that really helps to bring out the best of the image.

I haven’t had much time/energy to really work on anything lately for SL but I try to put some time in for tutorials now and then and also quick sculpts in zbrush to just… not forget the program. Lately i’ve been showing some demo timeline scrubs on plurk of some of my random sculpts. Food has been making me inspired lately, so that’s what i’ve been doing a ton of.
Wanted to put these up in case anyone’s interested to watch the workflow process I have. These are done with the intention that someday I might rework and upload them into SL, so the shapes are blockier than RL food, but sorta suited for SL meshes.
I didn't shoot many church interiors so far, but I think I will do it more often, the results handheld at ISO800 are quite encouraging! This is San Siro Church, in Genoa.

How many of you read until the end of my description?? :)
Le Suquet is the old quarter of Cannes, probably best known to tourists as the climbing, winding cobbled lane lined with local restaurants, Rue St Antoine. Le Suquet contains a clock tower and church that sit high facing east overlooking the Bay of Cannes and Cannes itself. At the bottom of Le Suquet on Rue Dr. P. Gazagnaire is the Marché Forville, where the market is held in the mornings and early afternoon.
This area is the original fishermans' residential area of Cannes. The houses are all very old. The streets were laid out at least 400 years ago. It is a 5-minute walk from the beach and is full of restaurants around the Rue Saint Antoine and the Rue du Suquet. A lot of the area is pedestrianised and is a major tourist attraction for visitors to Cannes.
The rue du Suquet is the original main road into Cannes. It came in below the walls of the castle (for defence reasons). It is a pedestrian street again and has plenty of restaurants [Wikipedia.org]
Fornebu (local form Fornebo) is a peninsular area in the suburban municipality of Bærum in Norway, bordering western parts of Oslo.
Oslo Airport, Fornebu (FBU) served as the main airport for Oslo and the country since before World War II and until the evening of October 7, 1998, when it was closed down. Overnight, a grand moving operation was performed, so that the following morning, the new main airport, located inland at Gardermoen (OSL), opened for operations as the main airport, as opposed to previously having been a minor airport.
As of 2001, the Fornebu area is being developed as a centre for information technology and telecom industry, as well as there being some housing project developments nearby. The new headquarters of Norway's telecom giant Telenor are located in the area.
The peninsula is connected to Langodden and Snarøya, which are more established areas of private residences.

Last weekend I convinced my wife to take pictures of her. It is the first time I experimented with low key pictures. For a real low key it seems there is to much light but I and she like it.
All pictures done in the living room. :-)
Strobist info: Selfmade striplights camera left and camera right. The striplight behind her was equipped with ohne YN560III @ 24mm and 1/8 (down to 1/16) power. The keylight was equipped with an YN560III @ 24mm and 1/4 power. All speedlights triggered with the 560-TX.
Post processing: I tried a new workflow for beauty retouching. This is my first trial and I try to improve it. I want to get rid of the frequency seperation. So in this picture I just used really decent the healing brush and heavy D&B. After that some color corrections and a curve to improve the overall look. Nothing else done (no blurred skin :-D ).
PS: I'm really proud of my wife. She has always to model for me and she get never bored! Love you!
I generally do not like to complain...about anything. BUT I need some relief! She's only 7 lbs. but she's either in my lap (worse) or on the keyboard or in front of the screen. If I lock her out she scratches at the door and wines. My wife helps but she's got the sister cat to contend with. That's right - double trouble!
It's a wonder I get anything done.
Discover My New Portrait Editing Workflow!
In this series, I’m sharing the before and after of my portraits to show how my editing process has evolved.
The RAW photo: I always start with a clean, well-lit image to have a solid base.
Editing with Evoto AI: Then I use Evoto to refine the skin naturally and efficiently, preserving texture and authenticity.
Final touches in Photoshop: Finally, I make color adjustments and fine-tune the look for a harmonious result.
If you’d like to learn more about my experience with Evoto, you can read the full article on my blog.
I hope this inspires you and gives you new ideas for your own portrait retouching!

So... I'm trying out DXO's PureRAW and I took one of my "depth finding" shots of the Levy Semaphores. These are throwaway shots used to judge what the shot will look like in a short amount of time... By cranking up the ISO to some ungodly number... in this case, 51200. Completely useless for sharing, but great for telling me in the field what's my image going to look like.
Thanks to DXO's Pure Raw 4, The middle image came out into the world. Further processing in Lightroom classic and Nik ColorEffex results in the lower one... One that's, well, actually usable.
More probally to come now.
Visit my website at akikorhonen.org for more projects, thanks!

My DIY ringflash that I've been doing for the last few days.
(Photo, starting from top left) Description
(1) I started with a 24 cm diameter steel bown and a normal food can.
(2) Added some tape on the bowl and drew the cutting lines with the can as a guide.
(3) Bottom from the bowl and can removed. I also shortened the cat a little bit. I first drilled a hole on the bottom of the bowl and then cut the metal with metal cutters.
(4) The two parts connected with strong epoxy that was meant for metals.
(5) Hole for the flash made and few connecting holes drilled. Also the needed aluminum parts are cut and bent in shape.
(6) The bottom part covered with black hockey tape. In the photo it has a Manfrotto quick attachment plate on it. Also has a hole for attaching it to the tripod mount of the camera.
(7) The top part where the flash is attached. Made some holes for the DIY TTL flash cord.
(8) I added some plastic parts for the flash hole to make it look nicer and to prevent light from escaping too much. Next I added some putty to finish it (wasn't necessary but I got too carried away again with the building).
(9) Putty and the bowl fully sanded and waiting for some gray primer and matte black finish.
(10) Painted and finished. Added some black hockey tape on the can's edge to prevent it from scratching the camera.
(11) Close up of the flash hole. A little bit of aluminum foil tape on the inside and black hockey tape on the edge.
(12) White thin fabric streched and being glued on the edges to get some diffusion to the light. There is a rubber band holding the fabric to the can.
See the finished righflash:
* DIY ringflash finished, without camera
* DIY ringflash finished, with camera
Cost: bowl 3€, can 0€, aluminum 1€ + some extra costs from paints etc. but I'm not going to count them to the total. Cheap anyway.

Having gone through a dark period of photographic stillness, I decided to seek enlightment. Not to ... Tibet though. Instead I dived into the vast ocean of internet trying to learn from the experience of wizzards in the pracrice of HDR photography. Captain Kimo, Jimmy McIntyre, Stuck in customs, were a few among many that tought me a lot.The latest interesting site I fell upon is called ''Farbspiel''.
This photo is post processed following the suggested workflow of the before mentioned site. Maybe in a couple of months I'll be declaring the same things about my current attempts. Anyway ... that's life and the magic of it is to walk the road to become better in each and every aspect of it.
After all I'm just a poor guy in the trenches ....

This weekend, I set about yet another attempt to rationalise my workflow. I have fallen into using a fragmented workflow involving way too many bits of software. I started with my photos from Bosham this Friday and now with this image forma recent evening shoot in Worthing. My aim is to see if I can eliminate ON1 Photo RAW from my workflow, I have nothing against it, but DxO PhotoLab is hands down the best RAW developer I have tried and Affinity Photo is a pretty good replacement for Photoshop. Since I also have the DxO NiK collection, I want to see if I can do all I want with PhotoLab, NiK and Affinity.
This photo was taken using my LUMIX S1R with the Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG DN Art standard zoom. Photographed at 24mm (an subsequently cropped) at an aperture of f/2.8. With a sensitivity of ISO1600, the resulting exposure for this shot was 1/40s. Developed in DxO PhotoLab 3 and edited using Affinity Photo and DxO NiK (I used Analogoe Effex Pro 2 to perform a stylised B&W conversion).

The story of this photo:
This is a shot from one of the many beautiful beaches in Thailand - on a small island called "Kho Poda". The rock that that we are looking at actually has no name (at least none that I know of). Just imagine standing there with your feet in the water taking a deep breath... ahhhh... refreshing...
Take a look at my "HDR Cookbook"! It contains some more information on my techniques.
How it was shot:
> Handheld
> Two exposures (0 and -2ev) - blended in photoshop
> Camera: Nikon D90
> Lens: Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 18-200mm 1:3,5-5,6G ED VR
> Details can be found here
How it was post-processed:
> Post-processing was done in Photoshop
> Two exposures (0 and -2ev) loaded into two layers and aligned in photoshop
> blended the rock from the 0ev layer with the rest from the -2ev layer using a layer mask
> Topaz adjust on the water to bring back the colors and the details [details]
> Saturation adjustment layer on the sky to enhance the blue tone
> Topaz Denoise on the sky and the water (different settings) [details]
> Levels adjustment layers for water, sky and rock to create homogeneous lightning
> Sharpening on the clouds, the rock and the water separately using the high pass filter [details]

Another forgotten one from my archives! This is the Primanti Brother's restaurant in Market Square in downtown Pittsburgh that I took from a photowalk a few months back. There are a few of these around Pittsburgh, and I have actually posted an HDR from the one in the South Side previously, which you can see in the comments!
If you are ever in Pittsburgh and in the mood for a sandwich with steak (or chicken, or fish, or egg, or any other meat of your choice!), topped with french fries, cole slaw and cheese, then you HAVE to make a stop here!
I hope you all have a great weekend!!
I don't mind invitations, but please no big, shiny, flashing, glitter graphics, they will be deleted. Also, please contact me if you would like to use my pictures for any reason, as all rights are reserved. Thanks!
