The title comes from the native phrase "Walk in Beauty".. and in this case refers to the leaves displaying beauty in this phase, which is, in itself leaving the beauty they once had.
The treatment is a homegrown blending, based very loosely on a manipulation technique referred to as the Orton Technique.
These are hydrangea leaves collected from my front walk.

Let's see if there are one hundred thoughts upon seeing this image of a penny floor, converted to an "amazing circle". The original is a shot in the dark of the inlaid floor of the Hotel Congress, Tucson, Arizona. I liked taking an image of multiples, and then turning them back into one "penny" of copper texture. Some of my friends and contacts will know just why I picked this title, in another metaphor.

My Kitchen Window (with forsythia)
For Snap Game windowsill and some yellow on the previous picture made me think of this one.
You can't really tell from this picture, but the glass in the window is what some of us call *wavy* glass and it was about 90 years old at the time. I don't have the house any more, but the window is now 110 years old.

Sorry this isn't much bigger, but I took it with a Polaroid Camera back around 1990, and did some sliding on it, way before I even knew what sliding was. I dated it 2003 on the picture itself, as that is the year I was trying to learn how to post it and how to put script on my photo.

For Dave C., the *soul* of this one was me learning how, right there in this kitchen, to do Polaroid Manipulations. What fun I had!
over Mountains
over Trees
over Oceans
over Seas
across the desert
I'll be there
in a whisper on the wind
on the smile of a new friend
just think of me
And I'll be there
Don't be afraid, oh my love
I'll be watching you from above
And I'd give all the world tonight,
to be with you
Because I'm on your side,
And I still care
I may have died,
but I've gone nowhere
Just think of me,
And I'll be there
On the edge of a waking dream
over Rivers
over Streams
through Wind and Rain
I'll be there
Across the wide and open sky
thousands of miles I'd fly
to be with you
I'll be there
Don't be afraid, oh my love
I'll be watching you from above
And I'd give all the world tonight,
to be with you
Because I'm on your side,
And I still care
I may have died,
but I've gone nowhere
Just think of me,
And I'll be there
In the breath of a wind that sighs
oh, there's no need to cry
Just think of me,
And I'll be there
I'll Be There

Using Gimp, I started with floral photo, shaped it into a sphere, distorted top of sphere to give egg shape, added shadow and gradient background.
This is a lot harder to do than it seemed when I read the tutorial - especially if you're like me and don't have very good hand-eye coordination. I could have spent the next couple of days clicking around the paws and still wouldn't have got it right! You're supposed to add a 3-D frame to the photo, but that is well and truly beyond my current abilities.........however, it was a challenging and fun project to work on while I wait for a spell of "photographer's block" to pass.

two variations of Amazing Circles, inset back into an altered version of the feather details photo they were made from..
There were some layered duplicates of the two circles, set to blend differently after using the radial blur filter .. all in Photoshop.. two separate macro images of the peacock feather edge were used and color-altered separately, using Hue/Saturation layers.
The starry night was made using photoshops Noise filter, altered at different stages using the Threshold image adjustment, blurring with Gaussian Blur, then adding more noise.
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.

i found a diary underneath the tree
and started reading about me.
The words she've written took me by surprise
You never read them in her eyes
They said that she have found the love she've waited for
Wouldn't you know it
She wouldn't show it

Another quick dabble with frequency separation technique to smooth skin. It is quite easy to overdo it, and I think I've done that here. More practice methinks :)
To be honest, I'm marking time at the moment. Sarah-Jane and I are doing some new shots this week hopefully. So I can fine tune this technique on some new material.
You can see the before and after HERE

I put together this composite for the Make it Interesting Challenge Group. The target image of the penguins was provided by pareeerica, and the tropical scene is a shot I took from the deck of a home our entire family had rented for a week in Hanalei Bay, Kauai.
Perhaps someone can help me figure this out: Most of the fruit, being nearly round, comes to rest in random orientations, The Delicious apples in the center basket, though, show a strong preference for ending upside down. Why do you suppose this is. And let me ask this of my friends in the Southern Hemisphere: down there, do they come to rest right side up? The world is full of riddles, isn't it?
This photograph marks a huge turning point in our family's life. In the early 1970s, I was selling real estate, a job that I loved and was doing quite well at. However, I worked every weekend and many evenings, and I was clearly becoming an absentee dad and husband, and it was having its effect on both me and my family. If I took a day off, it was during the week when the boys were in school, and in the summer time, my wife, Sammy, brought them to her parents' farm in the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts, where they had a wonderful time and for sure learned the value of hard work. But. of course, dad was not a part of that scene; he was home selling real estate. Then one day while Sammy was back east, I was talking to her on the phone and asked her when she and the boys were coming home, and she said, "what difference does it make? You're never home anyway." That did it! I was wrestling with getting out of the business anyway, and that statement, along with a lousy real estate market at the time catapulted me out of the business fast.
So, what does that have to do with launching model rockets? Our son, Greg, had started building the rockets on his own, and the first weekend I was home, we finished one up together and brought it out behind the local high school and turned it loose, and what fun we had! Well, there was some sadness, too: The rocket rose to over 1,000 feet, and the parachute deployed just like it was supposed to, but we hadn't factored in the wind; and we stood there, a bit choked up and teary eyed, as that beautiful rocket drifted northward, over the Greenbrae hills and into San Rafael, never to be seen again. At least not by us. I guess you could say that was the first weekend of the rest of our lives because from then on weekends were filled with fishing, camping and all sorts of good family times, including lots more rocket launches. There's no question that I'd have made more $$ if I had stayed in real estate than I did in my succeeding occupation, but at a cost that I wasn't willing to bear and, to me, that first rocket launch has always symbolized the point at which our family became a family again.
Needless to say, this will be added to my Our Life Story set. Check it out and let me know what you think.

This shot became an interesting experiment in the art of Frequency Separation. It's a cool technique where you create two layers to work on. One layer is just the colour value and the other is just the detail. Detail separated from colour/tone makes retouching a much less daunting prospect.
I opted to tackle this one like full-on beauty retouching to see how much I could eradicate any unwanted lines and furrows. I think I've still got a lot of practising to do - but I kinda like the end result :)
I then composited the shot in the usual way, using the rendered bar scene I used from an earlier shot.
Strobist:
x1 Einstein640 boomed high just off centre right for main fill.
x1 AlienBees AB800 camera left and x1 AlienBees AB1600 camera right both shot through large softboxes to provide kicker light.
It was a dark and stormy night when the power shut down the boat. Floating endlessly, riding on the current of despair, they prayed for the light. When the storm stopped its relentless downpour, they are in the middle of no where, "Lost at Sea" with only the full moon and a lost bird to guide them.
A personal work this time...

Here is a photo that I was having issues doing an emulsion lift with. While the photo was in a water bath I noticed during the process the image had a wrinkle effect. I stopped what I was doing and immediately applied the photo to watercolor paper. I love how the wrinkles give a look of age to the photo. Image was shot with a Polaroid SX-70 using Impossible Project PX70 V4B Test film
...Jump so high

"Mr. BoJangles" - Jerry Jeff Walker
there was a lot of noise in this photo, as it was underexposed in the process of trying to hold the highlights, and restoring details enhanced noise, as well..
I used Photoshop to blur the background and, upon converting to LAB color mode, I used a technique outlined by Dan Margulis in his book on using the Lab Color mode in Photoshop CS2 to drive the colors to smoother cleaner richer extremes, then pull them back from the brink, creating dramatic rich colors.
LAB color isn't a photoshop exclusive, and it's Quite possible that other programs can pull this off easily.. all that was required was layers and curves, after converting to LAB color mode from RGB mode, to get these colors..
Here's a review of the book:
