It looks somewhat sinister, but it's function is actually a decorative one: creating twisted cording for sewing projects like pillows.

After the Methodists sold the 1905 Central Hall, major restoration work was undertaken on the building in 1997/8, which reopened in November 1998 as licensed premises called Grand Central.

The windows (among other things) were decorated in a "sympathetic" art-nouveau style supposed to be "in-keeping" with the rest of the building's architecture.

A bit like Marmite - you either love it or hate it.

Bigger size has better view

  

While Natalie has been away for meeting some

flickr-friends in the Harz-Mountains, we 4 men have

had a very nice wellness-weekend.

 

Henry enjoys it to have a complete sofa for his own.

 

Just a cellphone shot because I had to be fast :)

Während Natalie ein paar Tage mit

einigen Flickr-Freunden unterwegs

war, haben wir 4 Männer es uns gut

gehen lassen.

 

Henry hatte ein komplettes Sofa

für sich alleine und genoss es sichtlich.

 

Da ich schnell sein musste, ist dies nur ein Handy-Foto :)

Tengo en cuenta que se trata de una imagen bastante bastante horrible y mal tratada (y solucionada). Pero no podía dejar de compartir estas preciosas vistas (no sólo de la ciudad, también de ese cielo) con los que pasáis habitualmente por aquí. Ésto es lo que se veía desde el Centro Pompidou :)

Tenemos aún un coffee time pendiente... Voy poniendo el postre y tu marca la cita en el calendario.

 

Mientras te mando un trozo de tarta acompañado de un montón de buenos deseos para esta año que estrenas.

Anacamptis pyramidalis (Pyramiden-Hundswurz, pyramidal orchid) Zölzalm, Eisenerzer Alpen, Steiermark, Austria. They are suffering from the heat and drought he had for last couple of weeks. Taken with a Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 2.8/35 mm.

Glacier National Park Montana US Sunrise. A winter one for these hot summer months.

En un palo helado....

.... Werner, Hilde und Rafi, dass Ihr mir mit Rat und Tat zur Seite gestanden habt um diese schöne Ausstellung möglich zu machen. Was wäre ich ohne Euch ....

 

Dass Du, liebe Rafi, völlig unerwartet auf meiner Vernissage aufgetaucht bist, hat mich unendlich gerührt. Du hast mir damit eine große Freude gemacht !

 

Ebenfalls ehr gefreut habe ich mich auch über die Besuche meiner Flickr-Kontakte, die den Weg zu meiner Ausstellung gefunden haben und die ich dadurch persönlich kennenlernen durfte. Danke also an Ralf, Patrik, André und die beiden, die aus Dortmund und ... war's Oldenburg? .... angereist kamen und hier nochmal winken wollten, damit ich sie zuordnen kann ... :-)))) ....

Ich hoffe, ich habe jetzt keinen vergessen ... bei all den Besuchern, die ich hatte .... ;-)) ...

  

...as in I'm pretty sure being upside down is good for their brain development. Don't quote me on that though. Unbelievably this is my fifth explore in 5 days!!!!!

Finally we made to South Queensferry in time for the sunset... it was calm with no wind, there was patchy mist passing by.. only the long waited sunset did not come - it just went dark...

The story of this photo:

This is my latest macro shot. Over the last few weeks, I have been spending my time doing a lot of stuff that did not have too much to do with taking or editing photos. It did have to do with photography, but just not with the creative part of it. Anyway, yesterday, I got fed up with this stuff and I started messing around with my macro gear. The sun just went down and I found this tiny foilage with those delicate little hairs. I figured that this would look great against the sun. So, I got out my little syringe, applied a few droplets and took a whole bunch of shots with the sun in different spots relative to the foilage.

 

Initailly, I went with an aperture of f/20 to f/25 to get all of the leaves in focus. But that brought parts of the background too much into focus too. So, I went with f/8 which blurred the background entirely, and I took different shots with different foci. Then I used focus stacking in Photoshop to blend those images together. Et Voilà, subject in focus, background blurred.

 

And here is the lesson for you: Always know what you can do to an image in post-processing while you are shooting. This may help you solve problems and lets you create images that may be very difficult to create otherwise.

  

How it was shot:

> Taken with a tripod

> Three exposures - used focus stacking to bring the whole subject into focus

> Camera: Nikon D7000

> Lens: Nikon AF-S Micro-Nikkor 105mm 1:2,8G VR

 

How it was post-processed:

> Post-processing was done in Photoshop

> Topaz DeNoise

> Topaz Infocus for sharpening

> Topaz Details for bringing out the details in the petals and some basic color correction

> Saturation adjustent layer (master)

> Vibrance layer (vibrance)

HI!

 

My name is Jake. I want to thank all my Flickr friends who have wished me so well and awaited my arrival with such encouraging words, thoughts and prayers. Since I am a little bundle of joy [so I'm told] my daddy may be busy for a little while and unable to post as many pictures here as he usually does! That's OK. He will be changing diapers, helping me eat and introducing me to our new and wonderful world, one bird, bug, book and beautiful day at a time...
