Photography software used to edit this image: Topaz Studio I have really been enjoying the new Topaz Studio in my workflow as it has a lot of creative filters and cutting edge A.I. apps to enhance my images. Plus I always use Adobe Photoshop CC & Lightroom CC.
Fitzroy Falls is one of many waterfalls that have carved out the cliffs and valleys between the Southern Highlands and the Illawarra escarpment areas. As a kid growing up in these amazing location I have some great memories of swimming with platypus, seeing echidnas explore the bush, watching wombats bash their way through the lower brush and always a favourite is seeing a mob of kangaroos leap and bound across the landscape. There are a lot of great swimming holes around here and the water is always so clean and clear. You can also do long canoe trips on some of the bigger rivers like the Wingecarribee and Kangaroo

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.
• Paris is an iconic destination for photoshoots, especially for women, due to its timeless elegance and romantic atmosphere. The city’s historic landmarks, such as the Eiffel Tower, Louvre, and Notre-Dame, create stunning backdrops that exude sophistication. Parisian streets, with their charming cafés, cobblestones, and Haussmann-style architecture, offer a blend of classic and modern aesthetics. The city’s association with high fashion and luxury enhances its allure, drawing top photographers inspired by its artistic heritage. Paris also offers soft natural light, ideal for portraits, and a vibrant creative culture that fosters innovative and breathtaking photography.
Thanks for your faves and comments 👍
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.

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 think I've described my workflow after a day's shoot in the past. Nothing special about it. I come back with 500-1000 shots (more or less). I go through all of them and delete the usually relatively small number that are out of focus, or where I missed what I was shooting at.
I go through a second time and delete some photos in cases where I shot in burst mode and there may be five or six essentially identical images. Over time that would cost a fair amount of storage space. I'll take the time to determine which two, or three are in the best focus, and eliminate the redundant exposures.
In that process I also save to a special file the photos -- generally a small percentage -- which I think are particularly worthwhile and which I would want to use for Flickr. All of this determined on a single pass through.
Generally my instincts are good as far as initially selecting the best shots for future use. A surprising amount of the time, though, a later return to look at the others seems to show me different images, or a different way of seeing some of them. Hence the value of the X-files...er...archives.
This photo was one skipped over five years ago, foir specific reasons...and not just overlooked. The out of focus bloom front left marred the composition. The position of the bee is not classic, and there were plenty of better posed shots.
Looking back now, with the advantage of highsight and always evolving preferences, I see something a bit special in this shot. Simply put, it has an out of the ordinary quality.
Bees on blue flowers are rather unusual. Bees on purple ones are as sympatico as peanut butter and jelly, or ham and eggs. My stream, and my archives, are filled with bees on purple flowers. Not many at all, though on blue ones.
So I re-evaluated this shot...as each of us should do every exposure from time to time. I gave additional value to the color of the flower, decided the bee's position and sharpness were fine, and actually sort of liked the out of focus bud.
All of that just explains this particular photo showing up after five years...as we await the 2016 return of the bees, bugs and butterflies.

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.

Introduction:
My name is Derek Michalski and I would like to invite you to join me for three days of photographing Venice - one of the most inspiring and photogenic cities in the world.
I have been visiting Venice for over 10 years now, and am returning there shortly to check locations and viewpoints and make sure you will receive the most from the workshop. I am passionate about very long exposure photography and will lead you thorough one of the most beautiful cities in Europe with a wealth of classic compositions and stunning locations to shoot fine art long exposure photography.
Location and workshop overview:
This workshop will give you a fantastic opportunity to explore Venice outside of the holiday season It is designed for anyone interested in exploring the world of Fine Art Long Exposure black and white or colour photography, from beginners wanting to learn a new type and style of photography to those wishing to take their photography to another level.
The beautiful City of Venice is a true photographers’ paradise – and an ideal location for long and very long exposure photography, both black and white and colour.
We will visit many of the iconic locations Venice has to offer and will also explore some of the less well known areas that lend themselves well to fine art minimalist photography. Each day will begin just before sunrise and finish just after sunset to maximise the amount of shooting time available. After the morning shoot we will return to the hotel for breakfast and a little downtime to recharge batteries and refresh ourselves. We will then explore the city further until lunch. After lunch there will be an hour break after which we shall resume the session. Every day will finish after sunset.
Some of the locations we will photograph:
Rialto Bridge
Piazza San Marco
Palazzo Ducale - The Doge’s Palace
Ponte Dell’Accademia
Bridge of Sighs
St. Michael's Cemetery
Church of San Giorgio Maggiore
Le Zitelle church
Riva Degli Schiavoni
The Grand Canal

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.

A Bald Eagle spreads its wings as it enters a dive. Note the mottled pattern on the bird's back, and the dark tips on the tail - this is indicative of an immature specimen. Mature Bald Eagles have solid white tail feathers and no mottling on the body.

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]
