For a fun interlude, this is a close-up/headshot image based off one of my more popular pics posted here on flickr in the last year+. This particular image was generated with the help of the FaceApp application, where I took a photo of a close-up of the "1992-August pic3" pic I've posted here. Then I just applied a filter in FA in part to help with the graininess of this close-up - and to have some fun with the look... :-)

Scott Air Force Base (IATA: BLV, ICAO: KBLV, FAA LID: BLV) is a United States Air Force base in St. Clair County, Illinois, near Belleville and O'Fallon, 17 miles east-southeast of downtown St. Louis. Scott Field was one of thirty-two Air Service training camps established after the United States entered World War I in April 1917. It is headquarters of Air Mobility Command (AMC), and is also the headquarters of the U.S. Transportation Command, a Unified Combatant Command that coordinates transportation across all the services.
The base is operated by the 375th Air Mobility Wing (375 AMW) and is also home to the Air Force Reserve Command's 932d Airlift Wing (932 AW) and the Illinois Air National Guard's 126th Air Refueling Wing (126 ARW), the latter two units being operationally gained by AMC.
The base currently employs 13,000 people, 5,100 civilians with 5,500 active-duty Air Force, and an additional 2,400 Air National Guard and Reserve personnel. It was announced in June 2014 that two new cybersecurity squadrons will be added to the three currently on base.
Its airfield is also used by civilian aircraft, with civilian operations at the base referring to the facility as MidAmerica St. Louis Airport. MidAmerica has operated as a Joint Use Airport since beginning operations in November 1997. Allegiant Air, the only commercial airline with scheduled flights at the airport, pulled out of the airport on January 3, 2009, but now has multiple nonstop destinations.

The base part to several builds I have. This is a blunt "How-To." It can be applied to more than just bases. Not sure if anyone will use this design but now you can see how its done.

“Early Lunar Base
One concept, by the U. S. Army Engineers for early lunar base construction consists of prefabricated modules which would be buried below the moon’s surface for heat insulation and protection against radiation and meteorites.
L-R: Air lock, air conditioning and power console, sleeping quarters and cooking area.”

From the original proposal:
“The lunar outpost is required to develop and protect potential United States interests on the moon; to develop techniques in moon-based surveillance of the earth and space, in communications relay, and in operations on the surface of the moon; to serve as a base for exploration of the moon, for further exploration into space and for military operations on the moon if required; and to support scientific investigations on the moon.”
Depending upon who gets their first, the U.S. might want to consider similar verbiage for a future mission statement, and dust off/update the content highlighted at the Army Historical Foundation website.

This shot was taken 20 minutes or so after sunset atop a rock that was dry up top but being buffeted by waves. It was at the base of Cape Spencer lighthouse which takes a bit of getting to but well worth the steep climb. .....actually , looking at the versions I think this was just the single shot in the end - longer exposure resulted in whiteness everywhere on the water.
Workflow (now standard for most images I process)
- Exported from lightroom as a 16 bit TIFF (cropping and rotating in lightroom)
- Layer 1: adjustments for levels and shadow highlight
- Layer 2: (duplicate of layer 1) - surface blur for areas that need noise reduction (eg skies, underexposed areas
- Layer 3+: Various colour selection layers for colour balance (in this case, the ocean blues to boost cyan and blue, the sky to boost magenta and red slightly)
- Layer 4: 50% neutral gray overlay layer for dodging and burning and sometimes for enhancing colours.
- Layer 5: High pass filter - around 2-3 pixels on vivid light - this layer gets placed underneath the surface blur layer to avoid sharpening the smoothed bits.
- Image flattened and if needed, lens distortion adjustment for vignetting.
- saved as 8 bit TIFF for printing ,
- resized /bordered/watermarked with actions for flickr /web
