Got to give a little bit of attitude
Baby don't you crash
Let's just trash trash trash
Did you hear the last call baby
Sliders Sunday after all baby!

Une exposition multiple prise du pont de l'île d'Orléans alors que nous étions sur la route. J'ai assemblé les photos dans Photoshop afin de créer cette image. On ne connais jamais ce qu'il en ressortira!
****************
A multiple exposure taken from the Orleans Island Bridge while we were on the road. I stitched the photos together in Photoshop to create this image. You never know what will come out of it!
Early days at Panther Creek Falls, Gifford Pinchot National Forest, WAshington N55135 - Happy Sliders Sunday!
Took a stroll off the beaten track in the inner city of Montreal to venture around and snap some shots.
Though I've passed through Verdun regularly while living in Montreal, I rarely took the time to explore and look around. It is a gold mine of gritty sights including this abandoned building, which that caught my eye.
Post-processing done using Lightroom to adjust highlights, shadows and clarity, following with applying a sepia tone gradient map using Photoshop and adjusting the opacity to get this final result.
My grandfather oversaw the construction of the original version of this shrine. (This is the renovated version.) It's located in Johnstown, Cape Breton Island.
This drawing or sketch was inspired by and dedicated to Chrissy who has moved to Utah and fallen in love with the mountains there. I created the sketching or drawing effect using a technique taught by Colin at www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXk3EJ6-Awg. The original photo of Chrissy can be seen in the first comment below. The mountain scene in the Kluane National Park and Reserve of Canda was captured by Kalen Emsley. Her beautiful image can be seen at unsplash.com/photos/Bkci_8qcdvQ. In addition to these two images, I used a third one to add texture (which is predominant in the sky) and applied a couple of gradient maps along the way.

Monochrome - toned Selenium with one of Dave Striker's Gradient maps.
Close-up/Macro using a 60mm (equiv. 120mm) with 26mm (16mm + 10mm) Extension Tubes. I found I couldn't get the depth-of-field using a 30mm Macro lens. The extra camera-to-subject distance required with the longer lens gave a better depth-of-field.

This is from a visit to the animal park in Sommerhausen, close to Würzburg, Germany. Apparently I visited as a child so it was nice to visit again with my own family. For the last two days I played around with gradient maps in Photoshop, something I never tried before. It's incredible how the look and mood of an image can be changed completely (and it's quite easy to overdo ;-)).
Glass brick… No, really :)
Photographing glass bricks is a strange pastime but in this case I had in mind creating something for Sliders Sunday. I’ll copy the original in-camera image so you can revel in its… well… boringness.
First step was to add colour so I gradient mapped a pretty gradient (that is, mapped the various black and white tones to a gradient: Photoshop, Affinity Photo and Corel Painter allow you to do this easily with the latter two being more powerful I think).
See Glass Brick I for the result of this interim stage, which forms the basis for the other three in the set.
The rest is detailed magic (which I’ll summarise below). I thought it looked like a brain, hence the title :)
This set has been gestating for around four weeks. And it was not getting better, so I thought I’d best publish them and move on… Such is creativity: it just doesn’t flow easily sometimes.
Hope you still like them though. Any favourite?
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Sliders Sunday :).
[Handheld in daylight.
Gradient mapped to produce Glass Brick I.
Duplicated layer, flipped horizontally and blended to get a symmetric pattern. Mangled colour to taste.
Rectangular to Polar coordinate conversion to get the globe and the radiating rays.
Normally the rays each are one colour but I thought that was a bit boring so I used and HSL layer to shift the hue and added a radial mask so that it only affected the outer parts of the rays.
Dark blue border with fine white line around the pic, and we’re done.
The original image linked below so you can see how far we came.]
Another version of the previous picture, this time with a custom gradient mapping applied.

2 frames focus stacked and given a Gradient Map in Ps. This is the first B&W conversation that I’ve ever done using a Gradient Map and I couldn’t be happier with the colour tone conversations. It’s far superior to desaturation in my opinion.
That's our eldest in a long hotel corridor. As you can see I played around with the editing to create this retro look.
I felt a bit creative this evening after I got home from work so I made this.
I had a fair number of gorgeous butterfly shots leftover from camping that I haven't posted, and I felt like playing around with some adjustment layers.
...I think this has about eight adjustment layers. I didn't actually manipulate a single pixel on the original photo. ^_^;;

Just a speed black and white drawing of my own version of Aerith then colored using gradient maps and coloring. Drawn using ps cc, cintiq 24hd. Video timelapse tutorial found here: youtu.be/rhmvoO3NUqw1

Another take from an evening stroll during our holiday back in Germany. This photo is just before the sun vanished beyond the hill in the background, radiating in a beautiful pink-red.

I'll post a link to the in-camera version in the first comment so that you can see how far we came here :)
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image! Happy Sunday wherever you are :)
[Handheld in muted daylight from window.
Processed in Affinity from the in-camera jpeg.
This was very easy to do: just added a Gradient Map adjusment layer. This maps greyscale tones on to a colour gradient (so each grey value takes a colour from the appropriate place on the colour gradient).
The fun is making the gradient to fit the photo :)]

Homework for Beyond Layers with Kim Klassen. We had to use a gradient map...which I have never used before so something new for me. You can see the before shot below and it has warmed the picture up and cast a shadow behind the bowl.
See first comment below for starting image, and tags for processing hints. Portland, Oregon OM13453 - Happy Sliders Sunday!
can't find a good quote...
this was one of many shots i took via remote in an attempt to capture the hope/joy of spring. at the time it felt like an utter failure, but i liked this edit... don't know if this one will last very long, but i like it... any quote suggestions would be super :)

This one is for my dear friend, Miriam, who posted a beautiful shot of an Eden rose blossom some time ago. I'd never heard of this variety before that, but her photo prompted me to give it a try. I turned to the Jackson & Perkins catalog, found the rose, and ordered it. Ours has been in the entry garden for a few years now and is clearly having a good time.! So thank you, Miriam ! Slainte !
Frost on a window.
Sometimes I have ideas about how to process an image and yet have no real concept of how it is going to turn out. So I put a bit of time and effort into implementing the idea and fiddling about with it trying to get it to work. And then I get to the end result and think “I really don’t like that enough to make the effort seem worthwhile.”
So it was with this.
The idea was relatively simple. This is an image take a month or so ago in the last frosty spell of one of my car windows. I thought it looked like a tropical forest, so I thought I would just colour it to make it look more like my imagined world.
So it was processed in Photolab unexcitingly and coloured using gradient mapping in Corel Painter and a bit more colour work in Affinity.
That’s the short story. In reality it was a really awkward pain. I’m not entirely sure why - colour profiles seemed to be mucking things up. I should have stuck to gradient mapping in Affinity. I chose Painter as I have a library of pre-defined gradients there.
And the result? Mweh… take it or leave it, I think. Still it’s all I have time for this week :(
In-camera version in first comment as per usual, so you can gasp in amazement at the difference (though I appreciate you are more likely to yawn... ;) ).
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Sliders Sunday :)
Glass brick.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image!
[This is based on another marbled version of Glass Brick I (similar to Glass Brick II).
In Affinity Photo I used the perspective tool to make a vertical wedge.
Copied the layer flipped vertically and then blended both layers with each other (using Pin Light I think) against a deep blue background fill layer.
Finally used a 2-mirror distort filter to create the symmetry.
Did you want to know all that? Probably not! ... But it's pretty isn't it? (It looks nicer slightly zoomed so feel free to try pressing Z :)]

I am trying to get around gradient maps in photoshop. They are very creative but quite fiddly and this is my first post with an inverted one
Gradient maps can vary the tonal range for the darkest to the lightest range with chosen colours
