;-) experiments (in all situations of life)
View allAll Photos Tagged experiment,
I'm trying out a different camera and some alternative software to those I am familiar with so I think the phrase 'clarting about' comes to mind, or for those technically minded 'experimenting'. I know it needs further work, but thought I would post it as a starting point.
The above shot was taken earlier this evening and now that I have found the spot, will be a frequent visitor as it is only a very small detour from my usual journey to and from work.
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!
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.
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.
How much is acceptable? The search for a border between a taken photograph and free, impulsive edited picture.
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!
panasonic lumix tz70
this morning i continued to experiment with my new camera. i used the panoramic scene setting for this photo. it's a lovely camera to hold and the weight all ok ... but practise, practise, practise
i had been waiting for a panasonic lumix tz90 but there is a global shortage of point and shoot cameras petapixel.com/2021/10/15/the-camera-industry-is-trapped-d... i was on various waiting lists but no stockist had any idea when it would be available. a panasonic lumix tz70 was in stock last week www.lcegroup.co.uk/New-Equipment-Home/ i bought it rather than have a possible prolonged frustrating wait for the tz90
for many years my garden was a shrubbery flic.kr/p/Lhv9ag which i loved. a picket fence covered in an ivy hedge coming down in a storm meant that over time changes had to happen flic.kr/p/2mn2x8a i'll be glad when the trellis is covered in honeysuckle and jasmine. that's the plan ...
