today was another cool, windy day in san francisco. as i walked to the store this afternoon i could see the fog pouring over twin peaks, making its final descent across the mission and into my neighborhood (south beach/mission bay).
the fog almost never reaches us, though. sometimes i actually wish it would!

Fixed version by me - original photo by kenyai, see belove.
( I founding original photo from Fix my pic group where peoples can leave photos for fix, manipulate etc.) . So this not connetted eny way to my Olympus or Pentax!
First I separed this photo to tree pieces: sky, mountings (behind) and that dark area on to front (each to own layers). Then I using several techniques eatch layers:
- gradient map tool for sky
- hue/saturation tool for mounting (behind)
- curves too, sharplen filter, dodge and burn tool for dark area on to front
- Frame is simple yet made with layer tool (drop shadw and sroke) and of cource withi text tool
- and some other tools what I don't remember enymore :)
We had a day out to Nelson Bay a couple of weeks ago. It started out as a wonderful day but, on arriving at Fingal Beach to give Barney a run and swim, a heavy squall came over sudden and we were soaked to the bone!
I am really happy with this photo because I captured what I set out to get! The boardwalk and mooring poles providing the perspective and the great angles from fishing rods and masts off the boats. I also love black and white photos!

The weather was nice and sunny, so me and a collegue walked the mile or so to the local supermarket to grab some lunch, and stopped for the occasional Infra Red photo along the way.
Couple of images stitched together, and a gradient map applied. A wider panorama with different colours can be found here.

My latest post on PhotoCapM talks about how specializing can take one to the next level in their journey to professional photographer. Stop by and have a read.
This photograph was a ton of fun to make. It was made specifically for the article on PhotoCapM. Sometime doing photography that supports your writing can make for some very rewarding photos.
Okay, I felt the need to explore a bit more with Photoshop. I know this is over the top with several Photoshop elements, but I had fun doing it!
Take a look at the image in the original size if you like.
Here's the story. Sitting in my car at a red light at the intersection of Route 22 and Progress Avenue in Penbrook (in the Greater Harrisburg Area , Pennsylvania), I noticed a sign - one of those with individual white plastic letters you click into rows on a backboard. The bottom row took me a minute to decipher because it was missing letters and others had fallen crookedly. You probably have already figured out what the line is supposed to read, seeing that line repeated seven times in different colors and textures.
I decided to make something interesting rather than just upload that lowly stip of misaligned message, so I cropped the tortured words out of the image; ran the crop through random Photoshop gradient map variations; then did a photomerge, rearranging the colored strips vertically until I found a combination that appealed to me.
So you ask... do I have a lot of time on my hands? No. Quite the opposite. It's obsession. ADD. Creativity-driven. Easily displaces more important priorities. That's my life in a nutshell.
Did you figure out the intended message? WILL TAKE TRADE INS.

I was playing with using off-camera flash and an umbrella, and of course self portraiture is hard work that you can't take too seriously- a combination that pretty much necessitates having a beer.
The flash is to camera left shooting through a white Westcott umbrella. There's a sheet of aluminum foil hung to camera right to help even out the lighting (somewhat effective).
I offer apologies for the Kinderdeutsch.
Top image is straight out of camera.
Bottom image was cropped and edited as follows:

Uploaded for t189 alphabet photo a week challenge, T for Toning with Gradient Map. I chose Chrome, which gives this gorgeous sunset over Tangier Bay a horribly muddy impression
This was one of those shots that normally would have ended up in the recycle bin. Playing around, I added a gradient map to it and then used a layer mask to cover the barn and trees. Then I copied different sections of the sky and placed them on the windows for the reflections and changed the blend mode to overlay and reduced the opacity. Finally I added a diffuse glow using a free action set I found online. Not bad considering my first thought was to trash it.
Been taking lots of natural landscape shots recently, and thought it was about time i introduced a little more concrete.
These are flats in seacroft (Leeds, UK), near the Tesco supermarket. Taken with an Infra Red filter.
These are the first IR shots where i've used the camera's own White Balance settings instead of doing it later in photoshop. I set the white point to some sun-lit grass outside the office before walking to the supermarket to grab some lunch.
These 2 building shots have been gradient-mapped black to white to add a tiny bit more punch, but aren't far removed from how they looked straight out of the camera (there was a slight sepia tint to them).
The portside skid disintegrated on
an outcrop hidden in the searing sand
and we went rolling... smashed to pieces... gon-
ners... So I thought, at least. But no... the land-
ing didn't kill us all. A few came out
alive, and we survive on hope that some-
one will report us missing. Samuels doubts
it. Not in time, he grins, for them to come
while we're still kicking. Horner disagrees.
I've had to separate them. Not so simp-
le crammed inside what's left of Vicor B's
remaining fuselage, all twisted... crimped.
The heat is slowly broiling what skin
the sun has left us. Samuels grins and grins...

After along time deciding what route to go down on how to edit this image. I stumbled across lime and white in my colour palette and when I clicked on gradient map I stumbled across this but I changed the lime to red. I'm pleased that white branches look very arty, to me anyway!

Taken for weekly photochallenge... using a gradient map adjustment layer for toning (colour). Some interesting effects; but not wholly convinced I'll be using it a lot. Still, useful tool to have available!

I believe that snails are largely underrepresented in photographs, and I also think that up close, they are quite interesting and beautiful, even if their slime trails are unpleasant.
In deciding how to best portray this little bugger here, I decided to put him on a similarly-colored and textured table where he could crawl around, allowing me to follow his natural progression. As I came around the other side of the table, he seemed to notice me, and propped his head up, which is when I started clicking.
Ultimately, I had over a hundred pictures of this guy and a friend of his - and it was quite hard just narrowing them down to one. In fact, you will see a second depiction in a little bit. But don't worry, it will be quite different and unique!
Lessons learned: don't be afraid to take tons of pictures. Besides being able to try many different perspectives, this also decreases the chance of being stuck with a bad exposure/iso setting, etc.. Because in the end, deleting files is just a click away, whereas the particular scene that was photographed is probably lost forever.
Processing: soft light layer + curves for contrast. Slight sharpening, brown gradient map + photo filter for slightly warmer tones.
