Somewhere on the border of straight panoramic imagery and a bit of Pano-Xtreme. The beauty of a dark, cloud-laden sky after a heavy summer rain was was too much to pass up, so I made this shot with as little "distortion" as possible. I wanted to keep the integrity of the scene, looking to warp it just a bit to give it a slightly Surreal quality.

Taking the relatively new "Pano-Xtreme" technique into a much more heavily photo manipulated place.
The evening light of this shot suggested a dreamier, more imaginative take on the scene.

My first post of 2017. Really relishing in the great photographic opportunities this Winter is providing. Embrace the Season !!!!
iPhone Panoramic Sabotage ( Pano-Sabotage ), where the "facetinzing" of the image is achieved with the phone camera in "pano" mode. Sabotage means to deliberately break the rules of standard panoramic capture. Colour effects and atmosphere are added in post-camera manipulation.

It's been several years since I was able to take advantage of a snow covered city for doing photography. The last few Winters have given us milder temperatures and've been almost completely snowless. This year we've been having a lot so I've made a commitment to get as many Winter shots in as I can as there just aren't that many in my portfolio.
We had a heavy snowfall and when I got up and when I saw that it was still happening, I jumped to it, got dressed quickly and dashed out the door, iPhone at the ready.
It's a wholly different beast shooting with a lot of snow around. The camera reads it as very bright and compensates for the tremendous amount of reflective "bounce" that's saturating the air with light. With muted, cloudy skies this tends to bleach out all the colour from the world and leave only basic earth tones and varying blacks and whites.
So in processing this I decided to keep that almost monochrome feeling but emphasizing how much this red brick house stands out on a muted, grayed-out, snowy day. I eliminated all the other colour except for red and added a hint of "ancient text" texturing for a softer touch.

Im Jahre 1835 begannen niederländische Küstenplaner mit der Eindeichung des Wattengebietes zwischen den Inseln Texel und Eierland. Nach Abschluss dieser Arbeiten wurde die ehemals selbstständige Insel Eierland Teil der wesentlich größeren Insel Texel. Durch den enormen Landgewinn bedurfte es neuer Schifffahrtszeichen. So genehmigte die Landesregierung den Bau eines Leuchtturms an der neuen Nordspitze Texels, den Auftrag für die Planung erhielt der Architekt Quirinus Harder, der am 25. Juli 1863 auch den Grundstein des neuen Turmes auf einer rund 20 Meter hohen Düne legte. In Betrieb genommen wurde der rot gestrichene Turm am 1. November 1864. Der damalige Abstand zwischen Leuchtturm und Küste betrug 3000 Meter.
Von 1864 bis 1910 wurde der Turm mit Petroleum-Brennern betrieben, ehe diese 1910 durch Pharoline-Brenner ersetzt wurden. Elektrifiziert wurde der Leuchtturm Eierland schließlich im Jahre 1927.

The Dune Climb at Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore had a few climbers despite the miserable conditions. It was damp and cold beneath the dark gray skies, and moments after this picture was taken, a steady cold rain commenced. The climbers were a soggy, bedraggled bunch returning to their cars. They would have made interesting pictures, but I don't take pictures of people if they can be identified in the photographs.
I've never done this before, but I'm posting the original Pano-Sabotage image used for "Strange Attractor - Laszlo". I somehow felt it necessary, because of its complexity, to show where the latter image came from.

Die Stadt wurde vor mehr als 2000 Jahren unter dem Namen Augusta Treverorum (ab der zweiten Hälfte des 3. Jahrhunderts Treveris) gegründet und beansprucht den Titel der ältesten Stadt Deutschlands für sich. Trier beruft sich hierbei auf die längste Geschichte als bereits von den Römern anerkannte Stadt, im Gegensatz zu einer Siedlung oder einem Heerlager.

Die Hohe Domkirche St. Peter zu Trier ist die älteste Bischofskirche Deutschlands und die Mutterkirche des Bistums Trier. Mit einer Länge von 112,5 Metern und einer Breite von 41 Metern ist das bedeutende sakrale Bauwerk abendländischer Baukunst das größte Kirchengebäude der Stadt Trier.
Die Liebfrauenkirche in Trier befindet sich unmittelbar neben dem Trierer Dom im Zentrum der Stadt. Sie gilt zusammen mit der Elisabethkirche in Marburg als älteste gotische Kirche in Deutschland und als bedeutendster und frühester gotischer Zentralbau des Landes.
Seit 1986 ist der Trierer Dom Teil des UNESCO-Welterbes Römische Baudenkmäler, Dom und Liebfrauenkirche in Trier, des Weiteren ist er ein geschütztes Kulturgut nach der Haager Konvention.

With this instalment I found myself working with and allowing a simpler statement than the first 3 "Brocades". The movement along them has to breathe.
I also wanted the complex Pano-Sabotage markers to be very visible.

Picked up another one while sifting back through the archives, one that I had always intended to post but somehow never got round to.
A straight Pano-Sabotage shot, with no photo-manipulation. Saturation was bumped up, white glare reduced and contrast enhanced. C'est toute !
Despite the many different shifts in styles and methods since I began photography in earnest 8 years ago, the common theme of the undermining of the straight line and the dominance of Euclidean absoluteness is demonstrated here. Einstein over Newton one might say.

The title is derived from the title of a Brian Eno piece called "Deep Blue Day" from his "Apollo: Atmosphere's and Soundtracks" album.
I was fortunate enough to be in the right place at the right time in the core of the city, when the morning light was hitting these towers with intense clarity. A high, cloudless sky radiating a blue so vivid backed up the foreground in an otherworldly way. 15 minutes later the all-whitening glare that takes over in the late morning started washing everything out.
The sky reminded me of places of much higher altitudes like Arizona or Tibet with their skies so powerfully blue that they radiate instead of retreating. Found in an urban setting like this, it made, for me, a chance to capture something quite remarkable.

A return to two things; mannequins, which I haven't used in a very long time and abstraction, not something I've done since last Winter.
I was Pano-Sabotaging some mannequins recently and I thought that zooming in on the most interesting portions of the total frame gave me some intriguing abstraction, so, I went for it.
For this image I resisted going bang with the colour and thought that a softer palette worked much better all round. The original shot was very misty for some reason, lending a soft haze to the image that I really like.

Pano of the kitchen sheers in my friend's apartment on 54th street in Manhattan. Dedicated to Joyce Corey for her Birthday and to Robin Thomson of New York, my friend for most of my life.
Widescreen Pano-Sabotage of the curtains ( sheers ) in layers of both treated ( underneath ) and straight Pano. Elements of the kitchen were added in varying repetitions and levels of translucency. Photographs taken June 13 & 16, 2019.
First thing in the morning in New York, making tea before my friend gets up and puts on NPR talk radio. I like the relative quiet of New York mornings, although the constant dull roar of the city never, ever stops. It's just quieter before rush hour begins !

A continuing return to the the "straight" Pano-Sabotage image. Adjustments were made for contrast, exposure and colour saturation and nothing else. This shot was done in one, quick, 3 second pass ... if that. This is the power and the magic of Panoramic Sabotage photography. Everything depends on the confident and experienced hand/eye coordination of the photographer. And even then, no matter how skilled one might be, it's still an improvisation. "You just never know what yer gonna get". Each image is therefore, unique and one of a kind.

A mix of two Pano-Sabotaged images and two SOOC sunsets. The main Pano-Sabotaged Image was repeated and mirrored in further additions. The sunsets were laid over top of each other.
Hiding away inside the general image is a reproduction of Manet's famous "Le Petit Dejeuner Sur L'Herbe". What at first looks like a simple moment of a bourjoisie picnic, is actually a radical fracturing of orthodox Renaissance perspective. Funny that it inadvertently ended up in the Pano-Sabotage image that I took of a Louis Vuitton shop window.

My usual urban themed pano style scanning just over 180 degrees. Fairly straight pano image with saturation elevated, white glare reduced and a bit of contrast added.
This is one of those inexplicably passed-over images in my files that I have always intended to post and never got around to.

The last of the "Brocades" series which was created and mostly posted in February, 2018. This straggler was put off and put off for other pressing concerns this year and I've finally gotten 'round to putting it up.
The "Brocade" process is a time-intensive, improvisational, heuristic process and one never knows how it's going to turn out until the moment when you know it's time to stop. It can take anywhere from 4 to 7 hours to put one of these together. The layering of translucencies makes for a very rich visual world and exponentially multiplies the interactions and relationships among the elements, which are all pano-sabotaged photographs, layered and layered and layered over top of the other.

Music Link: "Hopopono" - GoGoPenguin. Paul Boudreau and I have a great musical connection, among other things and we often expose each other to things that we find wonderful. I asked him to come up with a complementary piece of music for this image. "Hopopono" ( which is a Hawaiian healing ritual ) was his offering. It's a beautiful selection. Thanks, Paul !!!

Lokvarska Lake is an artificial lake that was created when the Lokvarka River was stopped during operation. Although Lokvarsko Lake is an artificial lake, it fits almost perfectly into the natural environment of the beautiful mountain coniferous forests of Gorski kotar, so today it is an exceptional tourist attraction and a favorite place of athletes and recreationists. Lokvarsko Lake is a favorite place for fishermen, because it is rich in chub, carp, crucian carp, trout and other fish species. Meticulous fishermen noticed that in 1973, the largest river trout in the world was caught in Lokvarsko Lake, weighing an incredible 25.40 kilograms. Lokvarsko Lake is located near Lokva.
Straight Pano-Sabotage tweaked to bring up the darker shadows, bring down the white glare and enhance colour intensity. No other software was used.

"Straight" Pano-Sabotage photography of a shop window in the late evening with the home furnishings of the design store sharing the same 'space' as the reflected evening world of buildings, trees, cars and buses. The reflections in the glass are equal to the objects in behind it, but can we really see an 'in front" or a "behind". Simultaneity of two views.
Parliament & Winchester Streets, Cabbagetown, Toronto.

Created for the Award Tree Group's "Blue Fudge 2" challenge. Classic "Pano-Sabotage" and photo manipulation.
Cabbagetown is one of Toronto's oldest and most beautiful neighbourhoods. While "downtown" it's set to one side and backed by the Don River Valley, making it a world of its own. Most of the houses are over 100 years old, many of which are heritage designated. Many famous people have lived and are buried here, including some of Canada's greatest politicians and leaders. Oval plaques on the the front lawns of their homes tell you who it was that lived there and their dates.
Almost gone to ruin by the 50's and 60's, people started buying up these beautiful old houses in the 70's and spent upwards of millions of dollars fixing them up. Although worth billions now, the neighbourhood is absolutely beautiful while remaining unostentatious and quaint. It's a favourite place for me to walk and it's been the subject of hundreds and hundreds of my photographs.

Mit einer Höhe von 63,45 Meter war der Lange Jaap lange Zeit der höchste Leuchtturm der Niederlande, ehe er vom neuen Leuchtturm an der Maasvlakte abgelöst wurde. Der Lange Jaap ist aber immer noch der höchste gusseisenere Leuchtturm Europas. Der Bau des Turmes begann 1877, die Inbetriebnahme erfolgte am 1. April 1878. Der Leuchtturm hat eine sechzehneckige Grundform und besteht aus miteinander verschraubten Gusseisenplatten mit einem Gesamtgewicht von 506.100 Kilogramm. Architekt des Turmes war Quirinus Harder. Seit 1988 steht der "Lange Jaap" unter Denkmalschutz.
.......
Zur Eröffnung 1878 wurde der Lange Jaap mit einer Argand-Lampe und stationären Linsen ausgerüstet. Diese wurden 1903 durch eine drehbare Optik ersetzt. Dieses Linsensystem erzeugte alle zehn Sekunden zwei Lichtblitze und war etwa 30 Kilometer weit zu sehen. 1912 erhielt der Leuchtturm noch stärkere Brenner, ehe er 1924 elektrifiziert wurde. Im Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde das Leuchtfeuer von deutschen Marinesoldaten zerstört. Erst 1945 nach fünf Jahren ohne Leuchtfeuer, wurde eine Behelfsoptik installiert, die 1949 durch ein neuwertiges Objektiv-System ersetzt wurde. Dieses System erzeugt noch heute in einem Zwanzig-Sekunden-Intervall vier Lichtblitze und ist 54 Kilometer weit zu sehen.

Created for and featured in "The Kreative People" Group's Spring Gallery retrospective of my work.
Taking the "stellated extreme mirroring" technique further out by moving the image into asymmetry. The natural tendency when working with geometry is to go symmetrical. It seems like the right thing to do. Here I decided, as with Pano-Sabotage, to break the rules and give the form more life by making it's composition less regimented.
Every element is from a Pano-Sabotaged image. My goal with PS is to take it as far into Art as I can, even to the point of the medium almost losing it's identifying markers. One always has to see how far one can go.

Das Martinskloster war, wie der Name schon verrät, in früheren Zeiten ein Benediktinerkloster.
Im 4. Jh. n. Chr. schenkte ein römischer Prokonsul das Gelände Martin von Tours. Er gründete ein Kloster an diesem Ort. Die heute noch sichtbare Renaissancefassade stammt aus dem 17. Jh. und wurde im Jahre 1989 renoviert.
Bereits seit 1972/73 befindet sich in diesem Gebäude ein Studentenwohnheim.
