This snap is from Jan. Ever since I stopped doing my 365 project, I have been unable to upload on a regular basis. However, I am clicking pics on a regular basis. It's just I now process pics randomly than doing it chronologically and my workflow is pretty chaotic now. I think it will take some time to settle before I really can start uploading pics on a regular basis.
I am awaiting my next travel in Feb end to my hometown. Just the thought of me clicking in open fields in what will be still chilly winter days makes me smile.
Here you will find ALL my preset's sellfy.com/sabekr that I create to help my workflow..and today I am sharing this presets to you guys.
The Presets is something you should use in order to make a photo feel more emotional and nostalgic.
I really love the look of old analog film cameras so here's my try to replicate it in an artistic way which are known from old cameras.See some examples on my IG www.instagram.com/mono_sabek/
I would just like to thank you so much for supporting my work and taking the time out of your day to check this out.

Alfred Hitchcock "Mister H." by JuliSonne :-))
I've always had a passion for street art, and at some point I was reluctant to try it myself. There are so many ways to present street art. Stencil, graffiti, blasting, blowing up, gluing with ribbons .... I tried a stencil. A stencil is a template work. Each part is drawn on stencils and everything that is to be made visible will cut out with a skapel or cutter and later sprayed. Depending on how much colours it should be and how many motifs or text should be visible ... there are several templates. There is a lot of work and time in it and I admire the right artists. And I have a penchant too for old Hitchcock movies so I thought ... HE should be him. There is no message in this picture. It was just the pleasure of tasting.
In the following you can see the workflow in a collage.
=====================
Ich hatte schon immer ein Faible für Street Art und irgendwann hatte ich Bock, es auch selbst zu versuchen. Es gibt so viele Möglichkeiten, Street Art zu präsentieren. Schablone, Graffiti, Strahlen, Sprengung, Kleben mit Bändern ... Ich habe ein Stencil versucht. Ein Stencil ist eine Schablonenarbeit. Jeder Teil wird auf Schablonen gezeichnet und alles was sichtbar gemacht werden soll, wird mit einem Skapell oder Cutter ausgeschnitten und später besprüht. Je nachdem wieviel farbig es sein soll und wieviele Motive oder Schrift sichtbar werden sollen...es werden mehrere Schablonen. Es steckt viel Arbeit und Zeit darin und um so mehr bewundere ich die richtigen Künstler. Und ich habe ein Faible für alte Hitchcock Filme also dachte ich mir... ER soll es sein. Es ist keine Message in diesem Bild. Es war einfach die Lust am Probieren.

Do light pollution filter improve astro imaging from moderately light polluted sites?
The theory is clear: These filters help to reduce the sky glow from warm light sources, especially sodium vapor streetlights, but they will not help much against the newer generation of LED lights. While you therefore cannot expect wonders, you should be able achieve better contrast from sites with a fair amount of older streetlights.
On the other hand, I have never done a comparison of what I can achieve with and without one of these filters. While taking my first Milky Way core shots of this season from a Bortle class 4 site, I took the chance and shot same panorama back to back, first without and then with my light pollution filter.
During post processing, I independently processed both panoramas with my normal workflow. The results show that it is possible to correct moderate light pollution during post processing to a big extent, but processing the unfiltered image was more difficult and there still is slightly better contrast in the filtered image.
In the filtered image however, the brightest stars and Jupiter on the very left have slightly more glare and if there is stray light, I have a hard time controlling reflections, as I cannot attach the lens hood with my 150mm filter holder in place.
Another drawback of any filter is that it reduces the light arriving at the sensor. With the light pollution, I lose about halve an f-stop and have to expose about 50% longer. This is not a big problem if you are tracking the sky, but might be a deal breaker if you shoot from a fixed tripod
.
So wat do you think? Are light pollution filters worth the price and hassle?

A workflow explanation. We were rained off on our visit to the Wildfowl Centre at Martin Mere. I grabbed two duck shots in the car park and left. We visited a nearby farm restaurant and saw a stuffed owl. It wasn't awfully inspiring in its case but I tried several clicks. All the preferable angles for the bird were worst for reflections. The best of several end results is probably bottom right rather than the one in my earlier post. Anyway here is how it went. Top left is the original unedited stuffed owl in its highly reflective glass case in the Brandreth Barn Restaurant. Top right is a phone shot of the moon and cherry blossoms. I extracted the owl from picture one and touched up the reflections by copying the left half of the image, pasting it to the right side of the face then introducing appropriate distortions so that it matched the original image but covered the bright face thus removing the reflection on the glass. For the lower left rather unsuccessful version I pushed the owl to the frame edge so that the moon was visible and added light and shade to the head. It is unfortunately looking out of the frame. The lower right version shows the head flipped horizontally so that it is now looking into the frame. I then rendered local highlights on the moon side of the face and a neutral density shadow on the other side. I drew a few tiny, curved feathery lines to soften the paste up. Introducing some "lens blur" to the background also helped the owl to sit more realistically in the frame. My original post was too sharp in the background.
I post this image of an Osprey gathering cut hay for a nest and being chased away by a Killdeer as a reminder to myself.
I need to have my gear and my settings ready before I get to a site. This image could have been so much better with a little more speed and concentration on my part. It was neat to see but not the kind of image I would have liked it to be.
Next time.

Ever since its grand opening City Center has become the centerpiece of downtown West Palm Beach. The City Center complex includes the City Hall (150,000 GSF, including the City’s Commission Chambers), the Mandel Public Library (85,000 GSF, including a 150-seat auditorium, children’s library, and teen library), the Palm Beach Photographic Centre and Museum (35,000 GSF) and a parking garage for 300 cars with charging stations for electric vehicles.
Song + Associates originally conducted a space-needs study in 1997 to program the future functions of City Center as part of Phase I for the project. Once funding was established years later, Song + Associates validated the study by providing necessary program modifications to reflect the city’s growth and reorganization. We also developed new programs for those departments that were not part of the original study. This phase of the project consisted of weekly meetings with the library staff, Photographic Centre staff, and each of the 22 departments within City Hall in order to understand the workflow, workspaces, support spaces, and department adjacencies. After the programming and master planning was completed then came the design to create a civic connection space for the public all in one convenient location.

Some time ago I mentioned I was having trouble replicating the exact colour tones and exposure levels I see when uploading to flickr, when compared to my original PSD files. I'm noticing it even with mono. Images here seem to lose their... richness(?) somehow - blacks don't appear as black and whites as white... Then there's the problem with flickr's sharpening, which I have my own workaround to compensate for as I suspect many of you do too. Does anybody have a workflow to combat the problems I'm describing, or even notice anything similar? It's driving me mad!
Oh, and there is a ship on the horizon if you look closely enough...

We who spend time in the depths of Photoshop find tools and tricks we like. We repeat them. We try to learn, but we build on a mode of expression.
Shot from a helicopter landing in Vancouver's Coal Harbor yesterday. Tungsten white balance gives it the bluish hue, though I did dial it back a little in PP.
Had to clean a shitload of reflections from the interior glass of the helicopter bubble.
I always think that it's interesting to see someones workflow for photoediting so I recorded mine to show you :)
This was a more complicated task where I had to use Lightroom and Photoshop.
How do you edit your pictures?
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.

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]

Verse 1
The horizon split in iron light
The sea stood tall, the sky burned white
They begged my hand to turn the wheel
But pride was all I chose to feel
The compass shook, the mast-line cried
The ocean warned — I would not hide
No mortal wind would master me
I swore command upon the sea
Pre-Chorus
I heard the thunder call my name
I knew the cost — I stayed the same
Chorus
I saw the storm and chose it still
I would not bend, I would not kneel
Let heaven break and oceans roar
I am the vow I swore before
No harbor light, no guiding flame
Only the echo of my name
If fate would carve its mark on me
Then let it carve eternally
Verse 2
The sails were torn by unseen hands
The tide withdrew from mortal lands
No stars remained to mark the night
Yet still I steered into their sight
The crew fell silent, one by one
As if the dark had just begun
No prayer survived the salted air
No mercy lingered anywhere
Pre-Chorus
The sea did not need rage or cry
It answered me by standing high
Chorus
I saw the storm and chose it still
I would not bend, I would not kneel
Let heaven break and oceans roar
I am the vow I swore before
No harbor light, no guiding flame
Only the echo of my name
If fate would carve its mark on me
Then let it carve eternally
Bridge (piano + low strings)
There was a moment — brief and small
Where I could have turned at all
A single breath
A single choice
But silence drowned the softer voice
Final Chorus (reduced, darker)
I saw the storm and chose it still
Now time stands frozen at my will
No dawn will rise, no night will cease
Only this endless, salted sea
No cross to bear, no grave to find
Only the wind that binds my mind
If I defied what none command
Then I alone shall ever stand
Final Verse (quiet, ominous)
And still I sail where maps grow thin
Beyond the edge of what has been
No port will claim me, none can warn
Of oath and tide and pride forsworn
If ever through the mist you see
A tattered sail on silver sea
Turn your helm and mark this chart —
Pray you never cross my dark
For I am bound to wind and foam
Exile my crown, the sea my throne
I chose the storm — it chose me then
And still I sail… beyond all men.

This is another one from the photowalk I went on with Tyler Sharp a few months back. We were on top of a parking garage getting some shots of the city, and I've never captured PNC Park and the Clemente Bridge from this view before. I was kinda hanging over the edge to get the composition I wanted, because I didn't want to have too much sky. I also didn't want to zoom in because I liked the wide angle look.
This is a 5 exposure handheld HDR processed with HDR Efex and some post processing done in Color Efex as well. Gotta love Nik Software!
Thanks a lot for stopping by everyone!

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.
