So I got a couple new ND filters recently, a 6-stop and a 10-stop. I wanted to see how they would perform when stacked, and this is one of the results.

 

The good: the two filters together are really dark. This was a 25-second exposure at f/6.3 (ISO 400) taken under bright clouds.

 

The bad: the two filters together produced some funky and unexpected colors on the image, and worse, the colors were different in different parts of the image! So, frustrated with that, I cheated and made the whole image mono while processing.

 

But the filters did their job in turning the choppy waters of the lake almost glassy in the image. Some flow lines in the water are visible below the reflection of the bridge.

 

My takeaway: I don't need to stack the filters. The 10-stop ND should provide all the long-exposure opportunities I'll need.

 

Second experiment in my next post.

This is an experiment to see what I can do with a shot using my iPhone and editing with Snapseed !

Some of the photos my phone takes are "superbly lit" by the best kind of natural day light I could ever hope for. But it also "reveals" a lot about my face details and the pores of my skin, and other "age defects" :( So, in an effort to "help" my feminine appearance, I could not resist, for once, some experimental retouching... Simply made my skin "softer". I guess I could use a lot of tricks but my goal is not to cheat but to show the person you would meet if we ever have the chance to meet in person, one day

Valkyr was a young pygon that unfortunately became one of Origin's first experimental subjects. The experiment was to promote the evolution of the local pygon into drones for the creation of a massive army under the control of Origin. Valkyr was tortured, brain-washed, dismantled, rip into pieces and then rebuilt in a horrid way to serve Origin's purposes. Now, she is released from the lab to serve a new purpose--destroy Laxus and Rex.

 

Valkyr is unarmed but is equipped with two giant gauntlets to bash and smash her way through hordes of enemies. She is also very intelligent and never once charged aimlessly in battle. However, her mind is torn into two, sometimes giving her chances to break free from Origin's brain-wash and pleas to Laxus and his friends for help.

 

Happy New Year guys! Been on a short hiatus for the whole Christmas season due to a sudden addiction to games...*cough* Warframe *cough*... but I'm back once again and decided it's about time to create something new. I had this gauntlet idea for sometime but had no idea on how to execute it. Well, in the end it turned out pretty well. Hope you guys like her. As always, C&C is always appreciated!

sparrows are regular visitors. lovely to see them :)

 

panasonic lumix tz70

this afternoon i continued to experiment with my new camera. i used the scene and macro settings together with the focus lever. 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 ...

 

www.flickr.com/groups/gardening_is_my_hobby/ helpful for ideas. thank you for sharing

   

i wrote this in the middle of the night. couldn't sleep for all the ideas in my head.

@David style ! have a XXXL day ,

My thirty-first weekly build for Andromeda's Gates on Eurobricks. Full story here.

Experimenting with long exposure. I think it will be a cool shot on a night with a more colorful sunset.

done in Mainz on an nice Hall of Fame. With Dater, Pixeljuice, Monkey and Disco. The whole wall coming soon

I'm happy with the composition apart from maybe the distracting trees? Any comments would be greatly appreciated :-)

Tonight's experiment was to see how little makeup I can get away with using.

 

Like most of us I normally cake the stuff on just recently I have been using a BB cream instead of a full coverage foundation. I have found the former to work rather well but it does tend to get a bit shinny after a while.

 

Tonight I just used two small blobs of foundation on my upper lip and chin followed buy some powder, bronzer and a little eyeshadow and lippy.

I am very pleased with the result and hope to see how this works all day.

 

Back to work in the morning and I have a job to go back to and its with the same company so my redundancy was short lived. Just got to let the other three job offers know I cant take them. Oh is well that ends well.

Eine kleine Spielerei vom Wochenende.

Angeregt durch die Chip Foto-Video 12/2013, wollte ich das Experiment ausprobieren. Ich kann es nur empfehlen. Man benötigt einen Metallquirl (aus der Küche), ein Stück Schnur (1,5 m) und Stahlwolle "000" aus dem Baumarkt. Die Schnur wird an dem Quirl befestigt, in den Quirl stopft man lose die Stahlwolle und los geht es. Die Kameraeinstellung findet Ihr in den Exif-Daten. Ich habe meinen Selbstauslöser (10 s) benutzt, die Zeit reicht gut, die Stahlwolle mit einem Feuerzeug anzuzünden und alles in kreisende Bewegung zu versetzen. Es macht Spaß, Erfolg garantiert!!!!

A volte la realtà supera la fantasia

As I moved the slider along to change the hue and saturation, I noticed that at the pace it changes it creates an effect of different colours. And so I print screened them and these are my results..

Okay, so this is an experiment combined with an 'I'm so tired, I'm going to sleep' state of an image. But I actually quite liked where it stood, in its weird sort of blendly forest present state. So I decided to let it just remain like that instead of staying awake...day 18, yay!

Trying to get a grip on the Gimp tools and program. Stumbling on handling layers in this program......LOL.......here I go again..

An experiment with ICM (Intentional Camera Movement), this won't appeal to many as a railway photograph, I mean it's all out of focus and looks a mess, but it does have some appeal to me.

 

This is just an experimental shot and process which in all honesty I didn't think anything would result, with the camera set on a longish exposure, I clicked and rotated the camera as the train approached, I did another when the train had passed, two images are straightened and merged in Photoshop with a multiply layer blend. There are no other Photoshop special effects.

 

A Transpennine Class 185 passing through Morley station - Friday 28th June 2019 4:38 pm.

I bought an eyeshadow palette thinking I’d convert it to a watercolor palette, but before washing out the eyeshadow paste and replacing it with tube watercolors, I thought I’d try doing a painting using the eyeshadow colors. They contain mica and are shiny. It doesn’t really show up in the scan. I mixed in some Chinese white watercolor paint to get the bright whites. Image is about 5.5x10 inches (25.5x14 cm).

 

I used the included "brush". It’s a stick with a small, soft, cheap brush on one end and a foam applicator on the other. I like the colors and soft look like pastel. A fun experiment for. $4.
