Last one (for now)! Think this is my favourite. Looks great on my desktop...
The colours come from a gold iridescent board behind the shot. I pretty much followed this video to the letter. So easy to follow.
This particular one was fairly heavily tweaked - contrast and levels mainly, with a touch of saturation - but that's ok cos it's Sunday! Happy Sliding!

These really post a concern about our earth & "Green House Effects!!"
Photography Zoom Effect: Racking the Lens
This was a fun technique to get the light moving. You really need a smooth zoom mechanism and a few practice exposures to get it just right.

========================================================================
The story is, by now, familiar to almost everyone: A sleepy, seaside, former industrial city in Northern Spain gets a new museum housed in a building already called--on its completion at the end of the 20th century--the most important building of the 21st. The city, of course, is Bilbao; the museum is Frank O. Gehry's Guggenheim. Virtually overnight, the small city became one of the most popular destinations in Europe. From all reports, Bilbao is rapidly metamorphosing from a sort of one-hit wonder to a genuinely vibrant city with restaurants, nightlife, theatre, and art. Gehry's radical, shimmering metal building has become a source of immense civic pride.
Call it the Bilbao Effect, though it predates the Guggenheim there by at least a few thousand years. Great architecture should be the centerpiece of urban space. Whether religious, governmental, commercial, or cultural, buildings define their cities; think of the Pantheon, of the Forbidden City--more than one building, I know--of any one of a thousand Parisian buildings and monuments, of the Empire State and Chrysler Buildings. The critics who complain about the Bilbao Guggenheim's sometimes lackluster collection and exhibitions--the same criticism has been leveled at Los Angeles' just-as-impressive Getty Center--do have a point, but they also miss the point. The point is the building as art, not just as a house for art. Architecture is the only truly public art form left. Frank Gehry, Richard Meier, Rem Koolhaas: they are the cathedral builders of our time. Not since Frank Lloyd Wright or Mies van der Rohe have so many architects become so nearly household names.

Bilbao Effect
Had good fun with a group at Offshoot Camera Club trying out the Adamski effect on a number of photos. It provides some interesting effects.
The Adamski effect was created by Josh Adamski. It uses blur techniques to create the illusion of movement, and you can choose to isolate figures or elements in the photo and leave them un-blurred.
Thanks to Emily Gallagher for leading the group and introducing us to the technique.

Created using GIMP
Originally, the Harris shutter was a device with three colour filters, allowing the photographer to make a single photo of a time series of shots with different primary colours. When the camera is kept steady, areas of the photo without any change end up having the same colour as in reality, whereas areas where motion takes place give a kind of rainbow effect.

These big boats are shallow draught to enable them to go into canals, so they have side lifting keels to enable them to avoid drifting sideways in deeper water
A vase of flowers reflected onto my kitchen window. Camera flash was fired which picked out the climbing vine of a plant in the garden beyond. I kind of liked the double exposure effect which was created.
On our Starbucks coffee run this morning. The cloud-enhanced sunrise was beautiful.
Tucson's potholes are very noticeable. The car and camera jerked as I snapped this The streets are not paved to handle rain. We get two monsoon seasons, but it's always a surprise to the road maintenance departments, city and county.
It's not a very colorful sunrise. We are headed east. The clouds are coming to Tucson from the south. They are from a storm off the west coast of Mexico in the Pacific Ocean. I hope we get some rain. None from this storm so far.
Next week there will be anode Pacific storm off the coast of California. We all need rain!
