A couple weeks ago, I read an article where a guy put tape on the floor, and his cat would go sit in the middle, as if it was a box. He claimed cats will do this because they can't tell the difference between a low sided box and just the tape box. Cats like to be inside cozy areas.
I tried this.....as you can see, Baby decided to 'think outside the box'. Good for him.
(Sorry, not a great photo.)
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.
wandering jew, Lakeway, TX. Sony A7II and ELNikkor 50/2.8 enlarger lens on helicoid adapter at f/16. This is my first experiment with this little lens on the A7II with flash. There are some challenges, but it is fun, as the helicoid functions as a continuously variable extension tube. This photo was pretty heavily edited in LR and Topaz Adjust to increase contrast and saturation and reduce noise. Unfortunately, Topaz Adjust strips exif from LR files.

Hi Girls! Lately I've really been into shorts with tights. I really find it very sexy. Very unusual for me to have such contrast with with white tights and black shorts! At first I thought it could be to out there, but now I'm thinking I really dig it!!! Your thoughts???❤️👠❤️👠

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.

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

Ghostly worthy enough for me ;-)
