"E o tempo é só meu
E ninguém registra a cena
De repente vira um filme
Todo em câmera lenta
E eu acho que eu gosto mesmo de você
Bem do jeito que você é"

Late in 2017 I had started editing images in the LAB colour space using the principles of Dan Margulis. Unfortunately his book's 2nd edition is now over $800 USD! (Glad I got mine back then!)
Thanks to Elisa who has turned me on to Harold and Phyllis Davis' The Photoshop Darkroom book, I am learning about inverting and equalizing channels in that LAB color space.
For this image I had inverted the L channel as the original (see below) was essentially dark. Then I inverted the b channel. Various curves adjustments later, this Frankenstein came about...
Happy Sliders Sunday!

Two graphic equalizers in one day - between this and the stereo in the Yugo, I would never have thought such a thing possible. It was very much a thing when I was growing up in the 80s - big home stereos with lots of lights and this magical thing called a graphic equalizer, so very much in keeping with the age of these cars and wonderful to see both of them retaining their period stereos.
Be not afraid of any man
No matter what his size
If danger threatens, call on me
And I will equalize.
The theme for Macro Mondays is Crime, and even though none of my guns have ever been involved in any kind of criminal activity, I figured a shot of the nose end of a .44 caliber bullet peeking out of the cylinder of my 1873 Colt single action army revolver would fit the topic well enough. This Colt, "the gun that won the west," is also often referred to as the Peacemaker, and is the revolver the above poem was associated with.
Also, there's this often quoted saying: "God made man, but Sam Colt made them equal."
Led by Earth's endless quest to equalize the dispersion of heat, winds whip around the world in this NASA-created image, a still capture from a 4-minute excerpt of "Dynamic Earth: Exploring Earth's Climate Engine," a fulldome, high-resolution movie playing at planetariums around the world.
The excerpt explores the fundamental power of the sun and how its energy drives the climate on Earth, and is made up entirely of new visualizations -- created by NASA Goddard's Scientific Visualization Studio -- that illustrate NASA satellite and model data of a coronal mass ejection from the sun, Earth's magnetic fields, and winds and ocean currents circulating around our planet.

These visualizations were recently accepted to be shown at the SIGGRAPH 2012 computer animation conference. To read more about this, go to:

The excerpt was also the basis for the 100th story released through the Scientific Visualization Studio's iPad app, called NASA Visualization Explorer. To see the app story in web form and to download the app, go to:
Camera: Nikon P600, 1920x1080 (Full HD), 30frames/s, Full-time AF, AE-LOCK, Program-Auto, stabilized-NR-ed-color-balanced-graded-edited with Davinci Resolve, audio - basic NR, little equalizing to hear the slap better on picigin balls, not to strong though.
From one clip I got these 4 scenes. I am particularly proud of color balancing. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to comment. Keep in mind that you have not much of freedom since the dynamic range is really awful but hey... at least I had this camera on me, so thumbs up for doing a great job still.

Until now, uploading videos to Flickr has felt somewhat inadequate to me, as I’ve always seen it more as a platform for still images rather than moving pictures.
Even though I enjoy shooting videos from time to time, I’ve found that most of my time spent with a camera in my hands tends to lean towards photography.
And that’s primarily because I know, in the back of my mind, that if I’m going to post something online, it will likely be on Flickr—and that automatically makes me feel like I need to shoot stills.
But today, as I was walking down to the beach, the strong Jugo wind (a southern wind) was going wild—pounding the shore, kneading the waves, and creating all kinds of acrobacies in the air.
I instantly knew: today, I’ll primarily shoot video.
First and foremost, because I enjoy the process.
Second, because today’s scenes were calm yet dramatic, and simply perfect for video—capturing something stills just can’t.
That’s what my videos will always be about—no exceptions.
Only videos that capture something stills can't.
That’s the purpose of this series and the new album I’m opening.
I’m curious to see where it takes me.
I recently attended a filmography course, and I feel like I know what I’m doing—while being careful not to slip into arrogance or self-importance.
Care about the scenery, composition, and color—these are all things I’m already mindful of when shooting stills.
So why not experiment with moving stills?
It’s just one extra word, isn’t it?
Anyway, hit the lik… fave! or leave a comment if you’ve read all the way to the end... and thank You.
I’ll eliminate sound in most videos, unless it truly needs to be there, and only if I feel like it.
If there is sound, I want it to be perfect—recorded with professional equipment and carefully edited, which I currently don’t plan to buy or do.
Maybe sometime soon, in the days to come.
So just lay back and enjoy.
My goal is to make videos we can all relax with—maybe even have it on repeat, with our own music or ambient sound in the background that suits us the most.
I don’t want to steal your full attention or be invasive on your senses. Just your eyes… because, as I’ve heard, they never lie, do they?
Jokes aside, please enjoy these scenes and try to immerse yourself, as if you’re right there.
That will be imperative #1 from me with these series.
Enjoy in video number 2.
McDonnell Douglas AV-8B Harrier II of VMAT-203 "Hawks" from MCAS Cherry Point training during the November 2015 Photocall at Naval Air Facility El Centro. Note the GAU-12 25mm "Equalizer" cannon pod.
Some folks have asked what PP I use on these, the short answer is "it depends" but I can tell what I did here.
1- Opened the RAW file with photoshop, used the "auto" convert.
2- Saved it as a TIFF.
3- Opened with The GIMP.
4- Made a duplicate layer, used "auto equalize" and faded this layer to my liking.
5- Merged down the layer.
6- Used the FXFoundy script "Smart Sharpen Redux" at default settings (it makes it's own dupe layer) then merged it down.
7- Made a dupe layer then used the FXFoundry script "Local Contrast Enhance" then faded to my liking and merged it down.
8- Saved it.
9- Downsized it for Flickr.
10- Saved as a JPEG.
11- Opened with Photoshop.
12- Used "Topaz De-Noise 5" to butter up the bokeh :-)
And that's all there is to it!

The last addition to my newest faction. The role of the Equalizer is to provide CAS (close air support) to friendly troops, allowing them to move forward or to simply fall back.
New Haven Railroad smoker coach 6831, with 4 wheel straight equilized trucks, is seen on a Railroad Enthusiast Extra train at an unknown location in 1951. Evidently the train is stopped at a point of interest and the passenger railfan ehthusiast are out and about taking in the scene. The four wheel straight equalized trucks seen on the Deluxe Smoker Coach have Fafnir Roller Bearing installed. This car was among the last heavyweight cars received by the New Haven Railroad and was delivered in 1930, by the Osgood-Bradley works in Massachusetts, which became a part of Pullman. In the underbody area you can see components of the air conditioning unit, such as the compressor condensing unit. During this time period most railfans pretty much dressed up for their rail adventure fan trips.

LOVE is the great equalizer and the transcendent essence of our Creator....
LOVE is like a blooming lotus flower within the centre of our hearts.
LOVE is the highest expression and the eternal force that give our lives meaning.

Equalized playing fields
Like everyones on steroid meals
Playing kill the carrier but the carriers kill back
Call that documents for the year’s fucked up blooper reals
Now everyones like America
We all share bloody palms that turn grayer
What was your cost to ensure your year remained fairer?
Blood ties or real eyes or fake fires or Web talks?
No price means more vice, hold THEM down on sidewalks
All that’s been proven is that coffins ain’t ones to choose
And bodies can go anywhere even if the garage is full
No matter how many black sheep, the herd sticks together
The leaders all still keep saying that whites are right and way better
Gotta sever the tumor, gotta cut off our hands
Gotta stick our heads way deep in the sand
For shame, we rejoice, for shame in our wool
And as we still do, the garage gets more full
The garage gets more full...

I was checking the contrast, got the keyboard shortcut letters in the wrong order (Alt+I, U, A instead of Alt+I, A, U) and ended up with this - I kind of like it though!
Town Showed Great Hart! A gritty comeback from 2 nil down midway through the first was started with a Tom Ince goal just before half time. Ridge came out strong in the 2nd and soon saw an equalizer from captain George Melling before a quick brace from Jay Hart put the game to bed. Town got one more through Richie Allen before AFC got a consolation. A great start to the new league with 3 points.

Wren Rovers advanced to the next round with a 4-2 penalty shootout win over tital rivals Longridge Town. The game finished with 10 players on each side and Longridge equalized in the last minute
Henry Hoke was one of South Australia's most prolific yet mainly unknown inventors.. A while ago I found some drawings of one of his inventions and made one as close as I could. The result is well balanced with little weight on the front wheels on handlebars, but as a wheelbarrow it is bloody useless!
