Exclusions

You could be forgiven for thinking that this lovely specimen of a flower is head and shoulders more beautiful than it's neighbours. In fact though I've given it a bit of a helping hand on that front. I was playing around with some coloured plastic sheets that I have and sometimes use for photography. So what you are seeing here is a yellow tinted sheet held directly behind the subject flower which has the double effect of blurring the background and at the same time changing the colour of it.
*Working Towards a Better World
Yesterday I was very sad to read that the LEAVE Europe votes won, personally I feel that it is a big mistake. We need more UNITY not exclusion! What a mess, but life must go on and so it will!
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜 💕💕💕
Created with Bryce...pretty cool what you can do with one textured, reflective sphere, one textured taurus and one light!!=0)
A small section of the longest fence in the world. Australia's 5,300 kilometre long Dingo Fence. This section follows the border between New South Wales and Queensland on the road to Cameron Corner.
Not the best of auroras, it was quite weak and diffuse with little evidence of ray structure (and clouds in the way). But I wanted to show the light from the Ocean GreatWhite - one of the world's largest ultra-deepwater semi-submersible drilling rigs that is currently moored in Loch Kishorn for maintenance. Although it is miles away, the rig is visible from my house on Skye - it is huge, and easily dwarfs the rig Northern Producer that is moored nearby awaiting decommisioning - photographed on a kayak outing in August 2021 (see first comment box). Sadly it doesn't look like there will be an opportunity to kayak over to the Ocean GreatWhite, it is further away and there is a 300 metre exclusion zone around it.
The aurora exposure was 25 seconds, but this resulted in the light from the rig showing as a big white blob bleeding into the otherwise dark lanscape. I shot the rig on a 0.3 second exposure then blended the images. Zooming in shows details of the lights on the rig even at this distance. Had the aurora been better, I might have been tempted to just clone out the rig.
A section of razor wire above a high wire fence surrounding the water treatment works in Hampton. Image rotated 90 degrees clockwise.
Happy Fence Friday
There is, just this little patch of snow on the hillside. Damn. If I had only seen that when I was taking the shot.
The Heart Mountain War Relocation Center, named after nearby Heart Mountain and located midway between the northwest Wyoming towns of Cody and Powell, was one of ten concentration camps used for the internment of Japanese Americans evicted during World War II from their local communities (including their homes, businesses, and college residencies) in the West Coast Exclusion Zone by the executive order of President Franklin Roosevelt, after the bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941.
There are only a few original buildings remain, two barracks and this, the smokestack building (see pic).
Pic: The hospital, behind, relied on the boiler house to provide steam heat during cold Wyoming weather.
There is a museum, Heart Mountain Interpretive Center, just east of this. They open daily, 10am to 5pm. I got there like 4:15pm on Friday, September 9th, not enough time to visit inside - just don't want them to see me acting hurry; just took the pictures of those abandoned buildings, and left.
Daisy Tree.
Well, there was I messing around with Affinity on the iPad late one evening (should have been tucked up)...
... and I came across the Apply Image filter which I’d not had occasion to use before so I thought I'd give it a try with whatever jpeg I could find on the ‘paddle. I had been working on a double-trunked tree image with some hope of a monochrome, and the image I found was of a shasta daisy that I had published before.
And the combination was really quite interesting, especially in Exclusion blend mode. What fun.
So here it is, with a few extra tweaks but nothing majorly different from the basic Apply Image/Exclusion effect. I guess that the blend mode is doing most of the work here and the filter itself very much depends on the images you choose. Miss Serendipity was her most alluring and generous self.
This is just a quick one for Sliders Sunday then, as I don’t have time for much else today alas. I’ll post the in-camera images linked in the first comment so that you can see where it all started...
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Sliders Sunday :)
