It's actually pretty simple; or is it?
Mulitple exposure (five frames) in Bright mode under the glare of the strobe. Modest adjustments in Lightroom then JPG'd & off to Photoshop for a barrage of amends, principally a Color [sic] Burn layer & tone & colour curve adjustments post flattening. HSS!
Say hello at Pelcomb Portraits.
****This photograph was chosen on January 26th 2014 to appear on FLICKR EXPLORE(Highest Ranking: #169) . This is my Nineteenth photograph to be selected, my Tenth of the New Year which I am amazed and delighted by as I never view my images as worthy compared to some of the amazing photography out there. EXPLORE is Flickr's way of showcasing the most interesting photos within a given point in time -- usually over a 24 hour period.
Flickr receives about 6,000 uploads every minute -- That's about 8.6 million photos a day! From this huge group of images, the Flickr Interestingness algorithm chooses only 500 images to showcase for each 24-hour period. That's only one image in every 17,000!..... so I am really thrilled to have a frame picked and most grateful to everyone who visited, favourite and commented on the frame*****

The complexity and richness of Jupiter's "southern lights" (also known as auroras) are on display in this animation of false-color maps from NASA's Juno spacecraft. Auroras result when energetic electrons from the magnetosphere crash into the molecular hydrogen in the Jovian upper atmosphere. The data for this animation were obtained by Juno's Ultraviolet Spectrograph.
The images are centered on the south pole and extend to latitudes of 50 degrees south. Each frame of the animation includes data from 30 consecutive Juno spins (about 15 minutes), just after the spacecraft's fifth close approach to Jupiter on February 2, 2017. The eight frames of the animation cover the period from 13:40 to 15:40 UTC at Juno. During that time, the spacecraft was receding from 35,000 miles to 153,900 miles (56,300 kilometers to 247,600 kilometers) above the aurora; this large change in distance accounts for the increasing fuzziness of the features.

How? it's asked quite often. ( direct 5120X5120 full size link for non Flickr visitors)
I'll explain what's going on here and how I did it in just a few steps.
I make a ball.
I copy & paste it a few times in a straight line. (above image, 6 times from center to right)
I attached the straight line of balls together as one unit. (called a group)
I copy & paste it a few times in a fan style until I get 180 degrees, pivoting on the original center ball, now an end ball.
I attach the entire fan shape balls into one unit. (group)
I copy and paste with a slight size reduction and a step back all the way towards the rear of image.
That's about it for the layout. The other details to make the reflections and color along with all lighting are other aspects in getting a good 3D result.
Although it's 3D programs that I'm discussing, the same technique also applies to photoshop and 2D image work.
BIG HELLO & Happy Weekend to you from my little 3D world (in Ottawa, Canada)

To see in colour is delightful to the eye, but to see in black and white delights my soul! No colour to attract or distract. Only the sensual lines, the shadows and highlights ...

Great conditions this morning (around -10C, no wind, fluffy snow), but the snow had stopped falling by the time I got out. Had to "scoop" clumps of flakes onto my wife's fluffy tuque using a wooden spoon and hope for the best...
Laowa 100mm F/2.8 2X Macro and Raynox DCR-250, with off-camera diffused Godox AD180 Flash. 30 frames in this handheld focus stack (!), with a few stacking artefacts remaining... Shot with the lens around 1.5:1, but I still have to measure what magnification this gives with the Raynox...

And know because I've been doing nada the last weeks my legs are hurtin'! :P
The picture isn't all to clear... But that stupid thing was all over the place! :D
Have a nice day you guys!
Revisiting a clematis from last year while I wait for this year's to develop.
Have a great Friday everyone.
Tiny plate-like snowflakes always impress me. Their lack of complexity doesn’t diminish their beauty; I think it only enhances the appreciation of the geometry and the fractal patterns we see. View large!
There is a small bit of “debris” on the crystal in the upper left. Usually I try to clear away obstructions with a small paintbrush to isolate a single snowflake, but in windy conditions it can be hard to get it completely isolated. Finding the snowflake in the viewfinder is also a difficult task, and if I decide to clear away debris a second time, I might not be able to find the snowflake in my frame again before it melts, sublimates, blows away etc. Timing is everything!
Because snowflakes are often hard to find on the black mitten where I photograph them, I sometimes use larger clumps of snow as a “landmark” of sorts. If I take a small clump of snow with the paintbrush and position it nearby the snowflake I want to photograph, my challenge becomes a little easier. I look for the large clump, and then I know where to move the camera to try and locate the snowflake I’m after. This can save me time, and I need to work as quickly as possible.
All of my snowflakes images are lit with a ring flash, usually with a 7:1 ratio of power on one side or the other. Ring flashes allow you to control each half of the ring independently, and I try to get exactly the right amount of light hitting the surface of the crystal from the right angle. This angle is very important; If you choose any “convenient” angle, you are likely to get just the edges of the crystal illuminated. If you carefully rotate the flash and the camera such that the light from the flash bounces off the surface of the crystal and into the camera, you can get all of the surface detail you see in my images. It makes the snowflakes sparkle, and sometimes also reveals colour in the snowflakes.
I shoot all of these images entirely handheld. You need to rotate the camera around the subject being the center of rotation, and you need to work as quickly as possible. For these reasons, no tripod has ever been used in any of my snowflake images. It makes the editing process more challenging, but it also allows for more snowflakes to be photographed when the conditions are perfect.
To learn every one of my secrets to snowflake photography, the entire photographic workflow is explained in comprehensive detail is my book Sky Crystals: skycrystals.ca/book/ - the good snow is about to start falling, so get out and photograph it! :)
To see what happens when you spend 2500 hours across five years working exclusively on snowflakes, the result is “The Snowflake” print: skycrystals.ca/poster/ - all crystals are accurately measured and placed in relative size to one another!
Wishing everyone a great New Year's Eve and a wonderful year to come!
This variety of Iris flowers have upright petals called "standards" and cascading petals called "falls". Running down the center of each fall is a “beard” that resembles a flame or even a furry caterpillar.
Besides the 3 sort of beards, I find very interesting & peculiar the zebra patterns & the texture of the petals, especially the 3 'falls' ones, looking like leather or even shantung silk. The bright yellow petals in the very centre reassemble golden tongues or, again, vivid flames of a flickering candle. Each of those inner petals -actually lobes- hosts and protects a single stamen.
Colours are yellow, some orange, a wine coloured optical animalier pattern, similar to zebra & lots of brown/burgundy tones.
Super Macro photographed out-door in natural light (with my Fujinon 24/624 'telescopic' + hyper Macro lens).
I hope I could render its intricated details. More in my Album in progress 'Callas, Iris & Amaryllis studies'

A group of trees. Each one has a unique beauty. Together they make a fascinating group on the hill. Complexity within simplicity.
Simplicity invites us to focus on the essence, the core, and the heart of a subject. It beckons us to peel back the layers, revealing a profound intricacy beneath the surface.
