The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours. It is an amazing journey, and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.
Esperimenti con Photoshop. Il lavoro che vedete qui è una rielaborazione dello scatto originale (molto articolata direi).
Di solito tendo a non strafare con Photoshop e a usarlo con adeguata moderazione, giusto qualche correzione qua e là sulle alte luci, saturazione, contrasto etc. etc.
Ultimamente però ho visto alcuni tutorial su YouTube su come sfocare lo sfondo, enfatizzare il soggetto, insomma creare proprio uno scatto che con l'originale ha ben poco a che fare. Quindi mi son detto "perché non provare?". Devo dire che il risultato ha sorpreso anche me, oltre ad aver scoperto molto funzioni di Photoshop che erano a me del tutto sconosciute, mi sono divertito parecchio... rimango però fedele alla mia idea, ovvero di non utilizzare Photoshop per creare dei "falsi" ma per intraprendere piccole migliorie e correzioni.

Experiments with Photoshop. The work you see here is a reworking of the original shot (very articulate I would say).
Usually I don't tend to overdo with Photoshop and to use it with adequate moderation, just some correction here and there on highlights, saturation, contrast etc. etc.
Lately, however, I have seen some tutorials on YouTube on how to blur the background, emphasize the subject, in short, create a shot that with the original has very little to do. So I told myself "why not try?". I must say that the result surprised me too, in addition to having discovered a lot of Photoshop functions that were completely unknown to me, I enjoyed a lot ... but I remain faithful to my idea, that is not to use Photoshop to create "fakes" "but to undertake small improvements and corrections.

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
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
experiment, double exposure, ghost biker.
Not bad for a first try :)
Ghostly worthy enough for me ;-)
I called this number one because I expect to do more...It was soooo much fun...Using Marbleizing Spray, Unryu Paper, Inks, Gesso, & Brusho. Enjoyed this a lot....

While having a lazy sunny winter sunday, the reflection of sun into the living room gave me that idea. I had done other shoots as well, with tea glasses etc, the view was nice the photos were not. That was the only shoot, that I loved. It was hard to choose a title; like 2 Circles, sun & shadow etc.. Thank you all my nice Fickr friends, who visied my page, commented or faved or just viewed..You gave me inspiration to start that hobby. I have seen your photos, all the peoplle I follow or who follows me (thank you all..) and then I decided to start to take the camera in my hand. The results might not be on the good level yet, but I try and I love it..
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 :-)
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!!!!
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..
The tilt in the TS lens moves the plane of focus around. I experimented quite a bit with it in Vegas. For my goodbye Vegas photo, I chose this one with a strong tilt effect. I liked the way it focused just on the Eiffel Tower and especially the way it blurred the traffic. Lots more to learn.

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!
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.

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.
Guess who's off sick?
Anyway, playing about with some filters I was given by a friend - this is a "soft spot" filter, which I guess is meant to give kind of the same effect as a lensbaby (ie only one part in focus, the rest blurred), but I was quite disappointed as the effect isn't very obvious, in fact it's pretty negligible...so I just thought I'd play about and whack on as much grain and noise on it as possible, hence me shooting at ISO 1600, plus adding extra in PS...anyway, I was trying to get some creepy shots of dolls (as you do) and I quite like how they came out...
La récolte des piments, enfin, après les avoir regardés pousser pendant des mois ! Je sais qu’il ne faut pas jouer avec la nourriture, mais après 6 mois quasiment sans aliments frais, on était tous très enthousiastes et ce n’est pas une photo spatiale si on ne fait pas flotter quelque chose. La dégustation a été très attentive par ailleurs, puisqu’on a pris des notes pour les chercheurs. Un grand bravo et mille mercis aux scientifiques et aux ingénieurs qui ont travaillé sur le projet : c’est très difficile de faire pousser des végétaux dans l’espace, et c’était le végétal le plus complexe jamais produit sur l’ISS… sans doute le plus pimenté aussi !!!
Pepper harvest! They say you shouldn't play with your food, but after six months with almost no fresh food, and living in weightlessness it is so hard not to be excited. We ate the peppers after watching them grow for months last Friday, and they were tasty… and a little bit hot 🌶🔥! A huge shout out and thank you to the researchers and engineers at NASA that made this possible, growing food in space is not easy, and was not even possible until a few years ago.

I had never heard the term Dutch Angle before, I probably would have described it as wonky. I have never set out to take a wonky picture before. I probably would have made the subject wonky if I thought it would help. So today was an interesting experiment.
Normally, I use aperture priority to take my images. On this day, I set up with plenty of sunlight on shutter priority with the intention of getting the hummingbird with frozen wings. The shot is darker than I like but the high shutter speed definitely worked on the wings,
This will be the last posting for me for a couple of weeks. My wife and I are going with my daughter and her family to Disney World in Orlando. Hopefully, I'll have a shot of Mickey Mouse to post upon our return.
I read once that the difference between fashion and style can be summed up as follows: "fashions fade, style is eternal". Perhaps that means that style is timeless and ageless but it's too simple an observation. Style and fashion both exist within a particular period in history and they are both definitely age related. I've enjoyed experimenting with this mature look and I know Miss Naughton would approve.
Colors have been an existential crisis lately.
Lately I've been on a film emulation kick, and it feels like everything I touch ends up all filmulated, and way too trendy. I'm wondering if there's a way to buck this.
This photograph is somewhere in the middle. While I definitely shot for something a little more vintage, but at the same time I wanted an extreme effect.
I've been realizing the thing I love the most is innovation. I really want to do everything in a new way, even colors.
