For the Saturday night we had a brilliant night at Humber Social for their 80s night Elerctric Dreams. We danced the whole night!
Also I bumped into an old friend I hadn't seen in years!
Top night.
Various video clips from the evening.
museumPASSmusees 2024 - Art et marges musee museum - Cash
Comment les artistes ' brut?es ' parlent-ils et parlent-elles de cash ? L?argent est-il present dans leurs ?uvres, et sous quelles formes ?
A partir de cette approche thematique, en apparence ' simple et basique ', il s?agit de parler de maniere ' cash ' de la situation materielle des artistes qui sont considere?es comme marginaux?ales par la societe dans laquelle ils et elles vivent. L'exposition rassemblera des oeuvres issues de diverses collections belges et francaises et l'univers d'artistes represente?es par la Galerie du moineau ecarlate a Paris sera mis en exergue.
Commissariat : Celine Delavaux et Eric Gauthier de la Galerie du moineau ecarlate (Paris), en collaboration avec le Art et marges musee.

Flickr user JeremyHall left me a comment on my 'Freezer' photo asking me to post some information on what post-processing I did in his new group, 'How I Did It'... so I am doing just that!
The final photo can be seen here.
I started with three separate images taken with the Canon 40D. I was using Auto Exposure Bracketing, with the camera set to take exposures at -2,0,+2 EV.
(Side note for 40D users! The exposure bracketing on the 40D won't go any further that +-2, but one cool thing that I've found is that you can rotate the control wheel so your middle exposure is set to -2, and your three bracketed shots will actually be -4,-2,0 EV. Scroll the wheel all the way to the other end of the spectrum and you'll have +4, +2, 0 EV... so effectively you've taken five shots between -4 and +4 with two shutter presses!)
So I took those three exposures and used Photoshop to automatically align them. I shot these with a timer on a tripod, so there was no movement between shots... but in cases where there is movement, I find Photoshop does a much better job than Photomatix at aligning the images.
Save that as a tif, open in Photomatix for tonemapping. Really I have found that every photo requires different settings in Photomatix, but all the sliders and options are laid out in plain view so it's very easy to experiment. Recently I've found that I like to 'over-HDR' the image and then selectively scale it back in Photoshop. So the photo labeled 'Photomatix Tonemap' in the image above was really never meant to be seen by anyone other than me :D I dislike that kind of overdone-HDR shot, and if I wasn't planning on doing any other work after tonemapping, I would have set the overall HDR effect much lower. HDR can really help a shot with a wide range of tones, from dark to light... but the downside is all the extreme highlights and shadows are kind of being evened out, which can make things look flat (to me). For example, look at the ceiling in the image labeled 'Photomatix Tonemap' above. The ceiling is nice and detailed, but it also appears that it's getting just as much light as the freezer in the foreground (which you can see is not the case from the original photos). More on this later.
I saved the tonemapped image to another tif, and brought it into Lightroom. There I changed some things which might seem strange. I took the color saturation of the image almost to zero. Then I made large adjustments to the 'Camera Calibration' section to give a cyan cast to the entire image. Then I worked with the 'Split Toning' section to make the shadows a dark blue-purple, and the highlights a yellow-green. I adjusted the tone curve a little bit and saved these adjustments to a preset called 'Decay Cold'.
I applied those presets to the original '0 EV' shot, so I had one blue-green colored tonemapped image (labeled 'Lightroom Adjusted' in the image above) and one blue-green colored original photo (labeled '0 EV Lightroom Adjusted' in the image above).
I brought both of them into Photoshop, placed the HDR shot as the top layer, and added a mask to it. Then I chose a brush with a low hardness setting and started painting over the areas I didn't want such an extreme amount of 'HDR-look'. You can see from the mask that I got rid of a lot of the HDR effect on the front of the freezer, on the ceiling, and on the back wall. I left the most HDR effect in the ice, because I thought it looked awesome :D Lastly, I placed a Brightness/Contrast adjustment layer over everything and used a gradient mask to apply it only to the ceiling - to darken it up. I think this brings back the sense of depth in the shot.
This was by far the most post-processing work I've done on a photo, but it paid off, since it became my most commented on, most favorited, and most interesting photo according to Flickr!

Saturday night we went to a lovely Indie night I've been going to on Prince's Avenue called Beat The Clock. Some great tunes all played from vinyl - less mainstream than many nights, some more obscure tracks mixed in with well known ones.
We started the evening with food at Crafted, then went on to 80 Days Bierhaus, then Hoi and finallu upstairs at Hoi to Beat The Clock. A great night!
In Hoi.
In her concluding comments at this year’s UBCM conference, Premier Christy Clark announced that B.C. will be moving forward with a bridge to replace the Massey Tunnel and that there will be infrastructure planning grants available for Northwest LNG communities.
The UBCM conference is a chance for local governments to engage with each other and the provincial government and an opportunity for local governments to meet face to face with provincial cabinet ministers. It allows for an exchange of ideas and best practices, all aimed at making B.C. a better place. To find out more about what’s happening at this year’s conference, head to the BC Government Newsroom: www.newsroom.gov.bc.ca/2013/09/ubcm-2013.html

The last weekly choir meeting before the summer break. We had a potluck (I made a cheesecake for it) and some people bravely put themselves up for karaoke.
I was one of those brave people!
I've never felt nerves like that before singing! Usually it's in a pub, with not many paying attention, alcohol-infused audiences, and not many that can sing. But this was different - everyone was paying attention, and they can all sing!
I was terrified. But I did it - and what a reception I got at the end too - it was amazing! Absolutely loved it.

I just got my tshirts delivered that I ordered from To Write Love On Her Arms.
It took more then one month for shipping and everything. Crazy thing. But I'm extremely happy, that they got here.
I love the message on them. Especially the "Fears vs Dreams, Pain vs. Hope."
I'll put a picture in comments, where you can see it better.
I really like the idea behind TWLOHA and wanted to support them with buying a shirt but also because of personal issues...
Although I'm not struggeling with suicide I sometimes feel depressed. And in the last weeks with stress from university I had quite hard times managing my feelings on some days. For this reason I want to remind myself, that there may be fears and pain, but there is also the other side: dreams and hope.
I want to hold on and trust, that God gives me the strength I need to go through these things. He is with me. He can be my strength, when all I see is my own weakness.
Please, Lord, be strong in me.

Our friend Trisha was up in Hull so we met up with her on Friday night. We tried a new place in the Prince's Quasy shopping centre called Iron Lilies, a nice looking new bar that has opened, but you had to book a table and we hadn't so we ended up sat outside for a drink.
After that we went to the Old Town to the Scale and Feather, before heading back to The Star to finish the evening. A lovely time!
In The Star.
