My 300th Image! I wanted the milestone to be a 'circle' image! ;-)
I keep getting caught up in the industrial, yet futuristic, nature of the original 'seed' image ,,uploaded by EOS1954

for the WET Challenge Thread :

The initial 'craft' was made using a 'circle' of the base layer, which was, itself, created using three sections of the seed image, combined with another image.
This one wound up with 26 layers, before it was done.. adding another element from the First seed for the Challenges,
www.flickr.com/groups/amazingcircles/discuss/166266/ ,
as well as layers just for the 'down lights' , etc under and within the 'craft'.
The craft occured to me because I 'circle' the rectangle, instead of cropping to a square, first..
when I want a round circle, I then scale it to a square after the process.
In this case, the oblong just 'screamed' vehicle, of Some sort.
More could be done, but my eyes are Quite irritated enough, thank you, for One night.
... brought to me by my cousin, Frank, after my twinned blossom calla shots.. thought I'd like another 'photo of the weird'. ;-)

You can do yourself calendar with your beautiful photo. It's so simple :-)
1. Make the "template" of your calendar
I use Inkscape, an excellent vector graphic editor (OSS), to make my template 20x30cm@300dpi.
Once finished, I exported to PNG format at 300dpi.
For this moment, the template was created manually. But I think it's possible to do that with a script.
2. Insert your photo into the template by using your photo edit software.
I used Gimp, again another excellent image manipulation software (OSS), to insert my preferred photo into the template. For you maybe it's easier with Photoshop.
The photo should be taken at 300dpi. Maybe you need also resize your photo to fit
the reversed space on your template. Firstly, load your template, and then your photo. Now copy your photo and paste into your template, it's so simple :-) That's all! The result I got is a JPG 2362x3543 which can be printed at 7.8x11.8 in @300dpi.
Note: The numbers in small size on my calendar are the lunar calendar. If you do not like it, you can remove from my template.

This is a playful image manifulation of the very fine photo by flickr member eagle.ffm1, who takes wonderous travel photos all over the world. This amazing circle is taken from the largest size he uploaded to flickr, and used the eyes of a great wall mural and all the graffiti on it, from Berlin. Please take a look at my favorite flickr photo of this week, here.

Reethi Beach, our first visit back to the Maldives since we dipped our toes into the water so to speak in 1996 to Thudufushi. After getting some more experience diving in the UK and on a couple of trips to Thailand I decided that warm water diving was for me, and there is no easier diving in the world than on the Maldives. The islands are usually quite small so after breakfast you just wander down to the Dive Centre, the staff will have put all your dive gear on the boat, all you have to do is turn up and go diving!
I would say Reethi Beach is at the budget end of Maldivian islands but as with most islands whatever level you are at it can be enough. Just being in the Maldives is enough, the whole vibe is just amazing. I guess the worst bit for us was the room, the tin roof was pretty noisy when it rained and there we had some scurrying furry creatures in the roof that can keep you awake at night. A good dive and snorkelling island though and there are a lot of repeaters here who love this place.....then again there are repeaters on every island!
I have started using a more impressionistic style to my photographs lately, I try to bring out the feeling of the place by varying the post processing effects that I use. To be honest I find it absolutely amazing what can be pulled from a pretty poor image these days by utilising current image manipulation techniques. The only slight problem is it takes time, something none of us have enough of, but I must say the final results are well worth the effort.
The thing we love the most about Maldives holidays is the mornings.....without a doubt the best time of the day. We are up at dawn for a run around the island and to see the sun come up. We usually have the whole island to ourselves at this time of day, it's just so calm and peaceful. Then it's into the bathwater temperature ocean for a snorkel before a well earned breakfast.....the best meal of the day.
The climate is perfect this time of year, you just have to put up with a few stray showers. For a chill out holiday the temperatures are absolutely perfect in the Maldives, around 30 degrees, day and night. The evenings are slightly balmy.....perfect for the tee shirt, shorts and the 'no news no shoes' uniform of the Maldives. Even the water is 30 degrees.....and it is the same 30 metres down, maybe dipping to 28 degrees on a cool day. This area of the world is just stunning, there is nowhere else like it. Absolute heaven!

a new visit to the "amazing circle" technique, this makes use of the windy rains stirring up the lake, last week, as a setting for the "orb".
I followed the procedure, first, as outlined here: brilliantdays.com/archives/2005/10/how_to_create_a.php ,
and in the flickr Amazing Circles group: www.flickr.com/groups/amazingcircles/discuss/116859/
I Am using the basic wondrous polar coordinates transformations as beautiful in and of themselves, but also as starting points for grounding them in their origins and/or creating new relationships for them.
The double icing on the cake is that I discover new Photoshop tools, and, by posting the results here, gain new friends.
Some good news for the day. It was worth taking the day off for this. :-)
I removed some of the personal identification data using the GIMP (Graphical Image Manipulation Program) 2, in case anyone is wondering about the blank spaces....
I think this one turned out how I pictured it. I thought it was quite a fun idea... a bit more image manipulation than usual.

First real effort in Corel's "Painter IX.5" software.
This was not "automatic" painting ( a feature the software has).
Each brush stroke was applied by hand, over an ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPH. ( Click blue link to see photo.)
The original photo is no longer part of the image you see, as that layer was subsequently removed.
Canvas texture and signature added in "Paint Shop Pro X."
The brush strokes and areas where I became impatient to finish are more easily seen in the LARGE SIZE.
Many thanks to Matuko Amini for her encouragement and great "tip" on how to begin.

The condemned council estate in the north east of England called Doxford Park, known locally as Doxy.
This estate is so big its going to take 15 years from beginning to end to knock down and build up again, and they are already 7 years in.
Despite the pictures and the way it looks, this really is a nice place, i love this place, and if i had my way i would stop them knocking this place down and build it back up again just the way it was.

I love long exposures, everything to do with night time, the dark, sunrise and sunset.
I like to take pictures mainly at night , sometimes during the day and in dull and fading light and I will sometimes display the time and date the picture was taken too.
I tend to take pictures of Light trails, Motorway traffic, Street lights, Buildings, Landscapes, Bokeh, Night bokeh and Hexagonal Night Bokeh in and around the North East of England.
All of my pictures are 100% natural and untouched in every way without ever been Photo shopped or altered or messed about with in anyway whatsoever, No multi layered photography, No HDR's and No image manipulation of any kind, all of my pictures look just the way they did when I saw them at the time of taking and I'm VERY PROUD of that.
I don't do any photo processing at all, I don't even own any photo software.
All of my starbursts are all 100% natural without using any filters or anything else, as is all my bokeh, night bokeh and hexagonal night bokeh, its all natural, no funny gimmicks at all.
I don't do anything with my pictures apart from take them and then upload them , 99.99999% of my pictures don't even get cropped , they are all 100% natural and untouched and then uploaded.
All of my pictures are copy right, © All rights reserved, you MAY NOT use any of my pictures without my written consent, you also MAY NOT change, alter, adjust or rearrange my pictures in anyway what so ever.

Robin (Erithacus rubecula)
This baby Robin was being fed by his parent (Friendly Little Fellow) in the picnic area at Titchwell. You can see that its red breast has not yet developed.
I love the awesome detail in this picture, the light and perfect exposure togther with the Bokeh background.
I took this as a raw image to capture all the detail then converted to JPEG to upload to Flickr. (No image manipulation here other than a slight crop) It is definatey one of my favourite bird compositions.

a sound-off to the flickr nation...
i read a very interesting article on CNN today. it talks about a law, that was recently petitioned, gaining popularity in the french parliament. this law would require the addition of a disclaimer on airbrushed images. supporters of this law believe that our "digitally enhanced images portraying unrealistic beauty are to blame for body and self esteem issues in adolescents." violators would therefore be fined.
can you imagine a "surgeon-general"-like warning plastered all over our magazines?
im curious to hear what you think...
