Quick piece in the rain..Trying more with this idea, not fully happy, dont like the splats on the lettering, but next time huh...
Again, the scene is the medieval castle of Berkhamsted, or what is left of it, and, to the left, the gatehouse of 1865. What I am experimenting with is "sky replacement". The actual sky was boring and featureless. Now, is this an editorial 'emergency' that entitles you to take drastic steps to 'improve' the image? I wonder what people feel about it.
and so here I am again, foisting my experiments on unsuspecting flickr'ers
;~)
Edit one
just could not make up my mind which one I liked better
not even sure I like either .....
LOL
Be back later!
My first upload to Flickr/SmugMug in two weeks since all of my problems began. My laptop still unavailable to me since they aren’t recognizing and approving any new PW’s. I was finally successful in uploading from my mobile device :)
The mixture in the glass consists of 75% detergent and 25% glycerin.

On Feb. 16, 1976, the Denver & Rio Grande Western assigned a six axle locomotive to work train No. 668, the Tintic Local out of Provo, Utah. Yard trackage in United State's Steel's limestone quarry at Keigley on Tintic Branch was poorly maintained. Rio Grande SD7 5300 had a tough time that day, and nearly derailed numerous times. The experiment was never repeated.
A pair of sharply painted AVR GP40-3's lead job AVR-3 past the former US Bureau of Mines power plant south of Bruceton, PA on the ex B&O "Pike." This location was historically known as Experiment after the Bureau's experimental coal mine once located here.
Not a very exciting composition, but since I am into trees, this might fit in. Long exposure using the Singh-ray 750 nm IR filter. I actually made a campfire and made food for me and the girls and had still plenty of time waiting for the exposure to be done. And of course the noise reduction made time for a coffee or three.
Seeing whether my "pancake" lens plus a 16mm macro extension tube can produce acceptable macro quality (using an orchid flower). I think it can, though focussing is difficult enough. Edited in Luminar and macOS Mojave.
Ein kleiner Plastiklöffel und eine Platikmurmel zwischen zwei Polarisationsfiltern fotografiert. Dadurch werden Spannungen im Material durch bunte Farben sichtbar.
A small plastic spoon and a plastic marble photographed between two polarizing filters. This makes tensions in the material visible through bright colors.
I used to have a great view of the sunset from my balcony, but after moving homes I need to actually get out of the house in order to take decent photos of the sunset. This has quickly become my favorite spot... 10 minutes by bike from my home (so I really can't complain :-)).
I've been experimenting with some long exposure shots at the lake, but the time in which the sunset is brightly colourful is a bit short for actually changing the settings, plus the darkness doesn't really help.
Practice will hopefully help, until then I'll keep posting some more imperfect shots.
Have a great weekend everybody!

**Prompt :**
Deux sphères de verre parfaitement transparentes, posées sur une surface liquide miroir dans un laboratoire futuriste baigné de lumière froide bleu-cyan. À l’intérieur de chaque sphère, un micro-écosystème hyperréaliste : un arbre solitaire aux branches tortueuses, enraciné dans un sol de galets humides, partiellement submergé sous une eau cristalline. La ligne de flottaison coupe l’arbre en deux mondes — au-dessus, l’air immobile chargé de particules lumineuses ; en dessous, une eau calme où la lumière se fracture en reflets liquides.
Entre les deux sphères, des gouttes d’eau en suspension chutent lentement en apesanteur, capturées en ultra slow motion, chacune reflétant l’univers environnant comme des lentilles vivantes. Des ondulations concentriques se propagent à la surface de l’eau sous les sphères, créant un jeu de symétrie hypnotique.
Ambiance visuelle inspirée du cinéma de science-fiction contemplatif, mélange de **macro-photographie**, **optique cinématographique 85mm**, profondeur de champ extrêmement réduite (bokeh crémeux en arrière-plan), rendu **8K hyperréaliste**, textures ultra détaillées (verre, eau, bois, pierre). Éclairage volumétrique avec faisceaux lumineux diffus et particules flottantes visibles, créant une atmosphère presque sacrée.
Palette de couleurs dominée par des bleus profonds, argent métallisé et reflets blancs éclatants. Reflets complexes sur les surfaces vitrées, distorsions optiques subtiles. Composition parfaitement symétrique, centrée, avec une sensation de calme suspendu et de tension silencieuse.
Thématique implicite : dualité, expérimentation, équilibre fragile entre nature et technologie, microcosmes enfermés, illusion de contrôle.
Style visuel : fusion entre **Blade Runner 2049**, **Interstellar** et **photographie scientifique haut de gamme**, avec une touche artistique minimaliste.

**Prompt:**
Two perfectly transparent glass spheres resting on a mirror-like liquid surface inside a futuristic laboratory bathed in cold cyan-blue light. Inside each sphere lies a hyperrealistic micro-ecosystem: a solitary tree with twisted, sculptural branches rooted in a bed of wet pebbles, partially submerged in crystal-clear water. The waterline slices the tree into two distinct worlds — above, still air filled with suspended luminous particles; below, calm water where light fractures into fluid reflections.
Between the two spheres, droplets of water hover and fall in slow motion, captured in ultra-high-speed detail, each droplet acting like a tiny lens reflecting the surrounding environment. Gentle concentric ripples spread across the liquid surface beneath the spheres, creating a hypnotic symmetry.
Visual atmosphere inspired by contemplative science fiction cinema, blending **macro photography**, **85mm cinematic lens**, extremely shallow depth of field (creamy bokeh background), **8K hyperrealistic rendering**, ultra-detailed textures (glass, water, wood, stone). Volumetric lighting with soft light beams and visible floating particles, evoking a sacred, almost otherworldly ambiance.
Color palette dominated by deep blues, metallic silver, and bright white highlights. Complex reflections across glass surfaces, subtle optical distortions. Perfectly centered, symmetrical composition, conveying a sense of suspended calm and silent tension.
Underlying themes: duality, experimentation, fragile balance between nature and technology, enclosed microcosms, illusion of control.
Visual style: a fusion of **Blade Runner 2049**, **Interstellar**, and high-end scientific photography, with a minimalist artistic touch.
