Spring has officially come to Utah!
Taken with further practice on an Olympus Tough TG-6.
While I certainly wouldn't trade in my DSLR for the "grand" landscapes I seriously prefer shooting the most, there have been gaps in my ability to do photography I've been meaning to fill. Having a durable point and shoot I can practically carry on a trail run is one example. Also, anyone who has followed me for some time knows I sometimes travel in challenging terrain where a heavy, bulky camera could be dangerous under certain conditions. Finally, I have wanted to respond a little more quickly at times to wildlife, though granted that isn't usually my top emphasis. But hey: When it's good it's good! ;-) I'm learning a bit about this right now, and just having some fun too... This time of year it feels like all sorts of opportunities are ahead. I could do anything anytime!
Boiler controls and hot water tank going in before the cupboard for them is made and electric sockets and flooring etc coming out. A spare bedroom days before seen during the conversion to a bathroom.

Meccano conversion sets started life as 'A' sets but later became 'X'.
It was a great idea. Someone bought you (say) a set 3 for your birthday and you could buy a set 3X to make up a set 4 and so on until you had the dream of every Meccano child - the set 10.

Andrey Blokhin e Georgy Kuznetsov,( Krasnodar, Russia) realizzano Conversion , che è un progetto site specific allestito nella chiesa di Sant’Antonin, in Venezia.
L’immaginario, la dimensione estetica e parte dell’iconografia, scelta dagli artisti per l’opera, fanno riferimento a temi religiosi di un passato, probabilmente rinascimentale.
L’effetto è molto interessante: entrando nella chiesa sembra di avere a che fare con un restauro in atto ( effetto attribuibile alle impalcature ) e contemporaneamente con l’olografica presenza di fantasmi, dovuta a la rete plastica che struttura l’opera.
Il tema centrale, che tratta con ironia della nuova fede tecnologica rivolta all’uso della rete (e segnatamente di facebook), è un po’ trito e rischia di rendere banale un lavoro formalmente molto suggestivo
Wheelock, North Dakota
This is not the church I posted previously. Not even sure it was a church, but the windows make me think it was. Unfortunately I did not go to the other side to get a better view.
Wheelock is a ghost town in Wheelock Township, Williams County, in the northwestern part of the U.S. state of North Dakota. In 1938, the Federal Writers' Project found a population of 115 in Wheelock. In the 1990 census, the population was 23. All census population figures after 1990 are estimates. Wikipedia
This shot was done by using a plastic holder for remote controllers, placed it side way against a glass table, place the audio cable in it, shone a LED light on the top to create that flare on table.
End result not that bad with reflections that added some interestingness in the shot.
Did you enjoy the snow? I know it can be frustrating being around this much snow but it can also be very interesting. We spent last few days running around chasing snow and I got exhausted, so much that I needed 2 days to get back in the mood to edit some of these images. What do you think?
New Zion Methodist Church, Sabine County, near Geneva, Texas
Seeing a sign for a cemetery, and wanting to get out and stretch my legs, I turned down a dirt lane. It was a bit further than planned, but eventually I came upon an old church with a nearby graveyard. More on this to come.

The out building at this old farm on the fells above Grosmont on the North Yorkshire Moors has been converted into a dwelling.
The old roller would be use for rolling grass and hidden in the vegetation I believe is a drag for spreading mole hills

Old warehouses on The River Neckinger, now just a short inlet from The Thames in Bermondsey, which have been converted to luxury apartments. The cranes have been restored to indicate these buildings original purpose.
The name of the river is believed to derive from 'The Devil's Neckcloth'. A slang name for a hangman's noose as this was an execution site for pirates etc in the 17th century.

Arrived the previous evening after cargo conversion at Dothan, To be painted for Cargo Air by IAC.
A conversion to black & white using Silver Efex Pro 2 where I made some adjustments to color filters to bring out a much richer tonal contrast for the final image.
This is a 2-seat version and is used to give extremely expensive passenger rides.
I have mixed feelings about these modern, 2-seat conversions. Apart from a couple of one-off examples, there were no two-seaters during the war; your first flight in a Spitfire was strictly a solo affair. In the late 1940s, a small number of 2-seaters were manufactured (or converted Mk IXs) for the Indian and Irish Air Forces - about 17 in total. In recent years, several more, otherwise perfectly serviceable, Mk IXs have been butchered to make 2-seaters. The revenue from joyrides helps keeps the single seat aircraft flying. Even so, the T9s are my least favourite Spitfires to see, and I rarely photograph them.
This aircraft, MJ627, is a genuine war survivor and is known to have shot down an enemy aircraft. It appears to be one of the original batch converted for the Irish Air Force in 1950.
If you fancy a flight in the back seat of a Spitfire, be prepared to hand over about £3,000/$4,000 for a 30 minutes experience.

_Secular Conversion_
[5171-D7500-Neo]
Blue Gothic Project
Meansville, Pike County, Georgia USA
.
While at Echo Amphitheater in Abiquiú, I shot some infrared.
I've tended to process my infrareds to black and white as I never felt satisfied with my attempts at false color processing with channel swapping.
I've been learning more this past year about working with color prior to converting to black and white.
In the first comment box below is the unedited shot, pretty much all brown. Shot through the Hoya R72, 720 nm filter. The custom white balance that I had set keeps it from being totally magenta.
As has been my common result, using the Channel Mixer adjustment layer and swapping values for the red and blue channels wasn't great.
I've been learning what the Selective Color adjustment layer does, so opened that under the Channel Mixer layer.
It allowed me to play with how much red, yellow, green, blue, cyan and magenta are within colors and thereby fine tune what the Channel Mixer does.
Things were better.
Then I opened a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer above Channel Mixer and found that playing with the Master and moving the Hue slider helped too.
After working on tonal ranges, using midtone luminosity masks on curves layers and dodging and burning, I still didn't like how much purple was in the sky.
I tried the Select Color command to isolate the sky and that created a mask when I opened the Color Balance adjustment layer. Mostly working on shadows and midtones to reduce red, increase blue and increase green got the deep blue color.
I've been learning about the Hard Mix blend mode, and after using the color picker to grab the color of the trees, I opened a Color Fill adjustment layer, set it to Hard Mix and then reduced the Fill opacity to 7%. This enhanced the tree color.
Finally, I got a false color infrared that actually had definite color.
Why did I do all this?
This extreme edit became the underlying base to a black and white version of the shot. All the color stuff I've been learning was part of tutorials on processing for BW.
Barring unforeseen circumstances, I hope to post that on Thursday for Donnerstagsmonochrom.
Happy Sliders Sunday!
Nick, a friend of many years, runs a fishing holiday business in a South Devon village.
He has just purchased a disused chapel next to his house and made a magnificent job of converting it into a fishing lodge. This is the living/dining area . Quite stunning!!
Black & White conversion of a recent Gerbera shot - www.flickr.com/photos/marcgutierrez/337001450/ - I think I like this one better.
