I love the small details of these old photographs, sometime only apparent after several glances. What about: the bulldog brooch on the lady, or the two plasters on the fingers of the officer. Or his neatly arranged pocket pens? Maybe the best feature is the relief of the lady through her smile that she, albeit incarcerated, is where she wants to be: safe.
The weather conditions were not conducive to good colour photography. So this shot from the Frankland Beaches at the southern end of Lake St Clair made another obvious opportunity to try a little colourisation.
What I am doing here through layering and the application of digital colour toning, is to synthesise how photographic artists worked in the second half of the 19th century. They literally hand coloured their monochrome prints with ink or watercolours. I imagine this is how the scene might have looked had Piguenit decided to colourise one of his photographs instead of painting award winning landscapes in oils.

Members of the Shibuya family are pictured at home before evacuation. The father and the mother were born in Japan and came to this country in 1904. At that time the father had sixty dollars cash and a basket of clothes. He later built a prosperous business of raising select varieties of chrysanthemums, which he shipped to Eastern markets under his own name. Six children in the family were born in the United States. The four older children attended leading California universities. Evacuees of Japanese ancestry will be housed in the War Relocation Authority centers for the duration.

Tulip.
This is a focus stack of a tulip, partially colourised in blue for the ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia International Awareness Day, as part of the Smile on Saturday theme today.
I love this view of tulips, although it’s a tricky one to take handheld on a breezy day :) This one was taken in my garden in March.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Smile on Saturday :)

The rocks that formed the Cataract Gorge are mainly Dolerite from the Jurassic era (180 million years ago). In fact most of Tasmania is Dolerite rock, which was produced during a period of extreme volcanic activity. For those interested, this article will give you all the available information about the geology of Tasmania.

But the Cataract Gorge is specifically a fault line caused some 80 million years ago from a series of massive earthquakes. In the following article Geologist Peter Manchester explains what happened.

PHOTO NOTE: This is a black and white image colourised using colour toning. They are not the natural colours, but an artistic impression. I am finding experimenting with these older techniques (albeit using digital technology) really interesting and artistically liberating from the tyranny of ordinary appearances. Traditional black and white is great at getting us to see things in tones. But colour toning allows for truly impressionistic photography.

Of this picture I have created several versions. I believe that this one should be shown too.
this is the last picture of the Perth series for now. I enjoyed the experiments with colourising b&w pictures. and I enjoyed working with the fully functional NIK software that DOX has taken over and updated.
How the Tees Newport Bridge looks riding into 2020.
I wonder if you colourised one of the old photos of this bridge from the 1930s how things would have changed..
To create this I layered together 4 or 5 totally random shots. With the resulting shapes, and after a lot of colourising and contrast tweaking they formed whatever this is!

Since I've been back in Italy, I've been devoting myself to colourised, minimalist architectural photography again. Like last year, I'm trying to make pictures digitally rather than photographing them. Here is a laundry display from a window in Imperia (Italy). Below a digital art addition.

Happy Valentine’s Day...
Count on light
Count on love
But don’t always believe
All that you’ve seen
Colourise
Trust the waves
And where you’ll go
’Cause you never know
What it may hold
And if you never try
You’ll never grow
’Cause you never know
What you don’t know
