Girly stocking adjustments should be done as often as possible. They are charming, sensual, fun and most definitely make the world a much better place.

Topaz Detail vs. Topaz Adjust?
The photo below was made using Topaz Detail. I get the question a lot what is better - Topaz Detail or Topaz Adjust? It's a good question. I'm honestly not sure I have an answer. I use both a lot - they are similar, but different enough to stay two different products.
If you want to investigate more, I have a Topaz Adjust Review and a Topaz Detail Review here on the site.
Daily Photo - Japanese Badass Schoolgirl in Harajuku
Harajuku is one of the most interesting areas of Tokyo! It's filled with some of the most interesting-looking people you'll ever see. They get dressed up in all kinds of get-ups and parade through the streets (which also means they don't mind being in a photograph). The stores in the area cater to everything from goth to glam-rock to 100 other variations that I can't even describe.
I spied this one below, gliding through the streets and zoomed in for a quick one.

This happens to be the best ever Country Fried Steak and worthy of you making it
Getting the initial oil temperature to 375 degrees is key to the success of this recipe. An instant-read thermometer with a high upper range is perfect for checking the temperature; a clip-on candy/deep-fry thermometer is also fine. If your Dutch oven measures 11 inches across (as ours does), you will need to fry the steaks in two batches.
Ingredients
Steak
3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/8 Teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 large egg
1 Teaspoon baking powder
1/2 Teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
6 cube steaks, about 5 ounces each, pounded to 1/3 inch thickness
4 - 5cups peanut oil
Cream Gravy
1 medium onion, minced
1/8 Teaspoon dried thyme
2 medium cloves garlic, minced or pressed through a garlic press
3 Tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups whole milk
3/4 Teaspoon table salt
1/4 Teaspoon ground black pepper
Dash of Cayenne pepper
Instructions
1. For the steaks: Measure the flour, 5 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and cayenne into a large shallow dish. In a second large shallow dish, beat the egg, baking powder, and baking soda; stir in the buttermilk (the mixture will bubble and foam).
2. Set a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and sprinkle each side with salt and pepper to taste. Drop the steaks into the flour and shake the pan to coat. Shake excess flour from each steak, then, using tongs, dip the steaks into the egg mixture, turning to coat well and allowing the excess to drip off. Coat the steaks with flour again, shake off the excess, and place them on the wire rack.
3. Adjust an oven rack to the middle position, set a second wire rack over a second rimmed baking sheet, and place the sheet on the oven rack; heat the oven to 200 degrees. Line a large plate with a double layer of paper towels. Meanwhile, heat 1 inch of oil in a large (11-inch diameter) Dutch oven over medium-high heat to 375 degrees. Place three steaks in the oil and fry, turning once, until deep golden brown on each side, about 5 minutes (oil temperature will drop to around 335 degrees). Transfer the steaks to the paper towel-lined plate to drain, then transfer them to the wire rack in the oven. Bring the oil back to 375 degrees and repeat the cooking and draining process (use fresh paper towels) with the three remaining steaks.
4. For the gravy: Carefully pour the hot oil through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean pot. Return the browned bits from the strainer along with 2 tablespoons of frying oil back to the Dutch oven. Turn the heat to medium, add the onion and thyme, and cook until the onion has softened and is beginning to brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add the flour to the pan and stir until well combined and starting to dissolve, about 1 minute. Whisk in the broth, scraping any browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Whisk in the milk, salt, pepper, and cayenne; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook until thickened (gravy should have a loose consistency—it will thicken as it cools), about 5 minutes.
5. Transfer the chicken-fried steaks to individual plates. Spoon a generous amount of gravy over each steak. Serve immediately, placing any remaining gravy in a small bowl.
The purpose of this image is not really to take a selfie, nor an advert for Lidl or the company that sold me my car. It is me trying to get used to adjusting the focus on the panasonic lens cap fish eye lens! I think I am getting there. :-). Olympus 9mm F8 Fish-Eye

I've seen this type of shot a million times on Flickr, but I've always wanted to try it. So, I set up the scene in our garage and tried out a bunch of different setups. When I was done, I added some color to the bokeh, just for fun.
I chose this shot because I liked how the bokeh turned out at f/2.8 more than at f/1.8. The bokeh wasn't lined up right, so I adjusted it in Photoshop.

I have no problems adjusting my stockings under all kinds of challenging circumstances. However, sitting down on the stairs like this is really very comfortable and makes it super easy. Just a few pulls on my stocking tops is all it takes, simples. Heck, I bet it would be really easy for you to assist me too; plenty of access from below ensures a perfect stocking view for you and an easy approach for your helping hands.
Use your courage and faith to take the off ramp directly into the storm: only then will you discover how strong you really are!
I forgot to mention that this was taken with my cell phone. I used Topaz to make some adjustments to the contrast and exposure to amplify the contrast and increase the blues. I wish I had my DSLR with me at the time, but a phone camera is better than no camera! These clouds were just so amazing to me.
A South West Trains liveried Class 158 combo heads wrong line through Fleet station whilst a slight adjustment is made to the train service. The 158's had run through the station some 20 minutes earlier and had to run back due to a signalling problem, plenty of bemused passengers on board.

A cabinet card by L. N. Schmidt, Photographer, 302 Milwaukee, Avenue, Chicago, Illinois. No other info on card.
Today I dug deep in the camera bag and found my old but excellent 24mm f2.8 lens, hooked up the Eos1DX a fresh battery for the cold conditions and headed out for some different pictures.
Kodachrome can get “the blues” from poor processing and/or poor keeping. Some years ago, Applied Science Fiction had some very good photo adjustment software. ROC pro (Return Of Color pro) worked quite well with little user input. The drawbacks are: 1. It was developed in an era of smaller photo files and will not work on large pixel files. 2. It was taken over by Kodak (ugh!!!) and I have yet to see any improvements as to adding 64 bit use or increasing the file size it will work with.
Paint Shop Pro 9 had a “one step photo fix” button that works alone or in conjunction with other photo altering programs. It does a surprisingly good job with almost no user input especially considering its age. Much newer versions are out with many new features and inclusion of 64 bit operating systems.
Upper left is a crop of a 1960s Kodachrome that has the blues.
Upper right is the view after using PSP one step with no additional user input
Lower left shows the view after running ROC pro with no additional user input.
Lower right shows the view after running ROC pro but manually adding 7 red and subtracting 3 blue plus changing the default “digital” to “film”. This view looks a little purple-skied next to the other ROC pro view but the people look most lifelike in stand-alone mode.
While driving through the Tasmanian countryside we saw these interesting looking sheep. We stopped to take photos. Later when I was looking at the photos I noticed that all the sheep were surrounded with a circle of light.
The photo has not been adjusted, it must be something to with the ends of the strands of wool.
