View allAll Photos Tagged improve,
An old favorite spiffed up a bit. This was one of the first photos I was halfway happy with when I ventured away from 35mm to digital. Unfortunately I had the camera set for low resolution and there isn't much of a file to work with. I don't normally do much alteration to my photos, besides bright/contrast and a little color correction. What you see is what you get for the most part, but I'm fooling around with a few oldies to improve my rather mediocre Photoshop skills.
Location : Pantai Sabak, Kelantan. Mini outing with Buyie and nGku Li last Monday..Im still improving my slow shutter shots. As always C&C are very much appreciated...This is non HDR.
trying to improve, looking at different examples of light and wondering how we might take a turn and do something a little different. So working with light is really a lifelong educational process :-)

"""In the early 1500s, the first Jack-in-the-Box was made by a German clockmaker known as Claus. Claus built a wooden box, with metal edges and a handle that would pop out a cartoon devil or “Jack” after cranking the handle.
It was built as a gift for a local prince's fifth birthday. After seeing this toy, other nobles requested their own "Devils-in-a-box" for their children.
In the early 18th century, improved toy mechanisms made the Jack-in-the-Box more widely available for all children and not just royalty.
The Jack-in-the-Box has been used for centuries by cartoonists as a way to describe and poke fun at politicians.
The name Jack in the Box has also been used as the name of a fast food company, who began using the toy and the phrase as their mascot in the early 1950s."""
Info - WiKi
This is a paper folded version. I used 30x60cm duo colored Kraft paper (gold /red).
Final size: a little box 5x5x5cm, when the box is closed. When Jack pops out the height is 10cm ;-))
Model: origami Jack in the Box

Weather conditions improved in the late afternoon. This is a northwestward view from a hill that used to be the site for Chichijima's weather station.
The island in the left is Nishijima (西島, western island), while those in the right are Hyoutanjima (瓢箪島 gourd island), Anijima (兄島 older brother island), and Hitomarujima (人丸島).
According the climate data provided by Japan Meteorological Agency, average temperature of the coldest month in Chichijima is 18.5 degree Celsius, which means Chichijima has a tropical climate.
Annual precipitation of Chichijima is 1,296 mm, and the precipitation of the driest month is 51.6 mm, which means Chichijima has the tropical monsoon climate (Am) as compared to the humid subtropical climate (Cfa) in the Izu islands and the main island part of Tokyo.
Chichijima's climate is relatively dry judging from the Japanese standard; annual precipitation of downtown Tokyo is 1,530 mm.
Yesterday I complained about the lack of spring migrants returning to the Driftless Region due to the cold winterlike weather. The weather didn't improve today, but the bird gods did their best to make me feel better. This male brown-headed cowbird is wearing a gorgeous green winter jacket to fend off the cold freezing temperature. He'll be staying right here at Lake Meyer Park for the summer.
I like this image so much because of the beautiful gradient of the sky and the great color of the lights...but it was ruined by the bright lights brought by that Halogen Lamps on the roof.. any tips on how to improve this kind of thing?
I did post this image at the time of my 2010 trip, but it's a favorite of mine - I even printed it for my mono images wall. This post is improved - a few dust spots removed, and a much nicer viewing resolution. In fact, there was a light snow falling and you can see the streaking in some areas, particularly in the lower middle of the frame. As for the conversion to monochrome, I do like it better than the color, where the moving falls and river had a tinge of green in them. So do enjoy this with a couple of clicks to peruse the finer detail.

Hello there! I hope all is well my friends! I am featuring Apple Fall today! I am just using a ton of new and older items in this dining room space featuring the store. I love Apple Fall items and I love going back and getting items I haven't blogged and items I have blogged and putting a new spin on them to show how verstaile the items are. I can use these items in a 1000 different ways and I love that. You can have the most fun with high quality items. I love a nice dining room and I just went with the moment to decorate this one in a cute/adorable Onsu home! Most of the items in here are from Apple Fall. Full details are on the blog. Feel free to have a look! Thank you so much for the support and have a blessed day! xoxo <3333 Ebony

Semisonic.
Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
And you use it only for me
Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
And you use it only for me
So use it and prove it
Remove this whirling sadness
I'm losing, I'm bluesing
But you can save me from madness
Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
And you use it only for me
Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
And you use it only for me
So save me I'm waiting
I'm needing, hear me pleading
And soothe me, improve me
I'm grieving, I'm barely believing now, now
When you are flying around and around the world
And I'm lying and lonely
I know there's something sacred and free reserved
And received by me only
Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
And you use it only for me
Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
And you use it only for me
So use it and prove it
Remove this whirling sadness
I'm losing, I'm bluesing
But you can save me from madness, now, now
When you are flying around and around the world
And I'm lying and lonely
I know there's something sacred and free reserved
And received by me only
Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
And you use it only for me
Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
Nobody knows it, nobody knows it, nobody knows it
But you've got a secret
Nobody knows it, nobody knows it, nobody knows it
But you've got a secret
Nobody knows it, nobody knows it, nobody knows it
But you've got a secret
Nobody knows it, nobody knows it, nobody knows it
But you've got a secret
Nobody knows it, nobody knows it...

A very new moon and a clearer atmosphere than any of my recent visits to the area. Papalote Rancho Viejo campsite in Big Bend Ranch State Park, Presidio County, Texas.
Improved my editing process, and I think I can get cleaner IR results from that little 1/2.3-inch sensor. Still some other maintenance to do on the camera, but this came out well enough that I'm going to share it.
This is a Panasonic Lumix ZS6 with the hot mirror removed and a 720nm filter. I then swapped red and blue channels in post to get yellow trees and blue sky instead of the reverse, and did some additional color adjustments.
I really like IR skies. IR reveals quite a bit of detail and drama.
These images are also my fall fix before the leaves have even started to change.
More infrared and full spectrum images

I have not had the best of luck with Fall in Arkansas. On our first year here, an early frost stole many trees of their foliage at the beginning of September. So Fall colors were lackluster at best. This time fall was a bit trickier; I kept an eye out for any early frost warning, and nothing showed up in my search. We made our first trip of the year to the Richland Creek Wilderness area and saw that fall colors were barely breaking through. In my naivety, I thought a week or so from now, we will have the perfect fall colors and planned a trip through Ozarks National Forest to the Talimena scenic drive in the Ouachita mountains. I am still not sure what happened, but almost all fall colors were gone by the time we went on the planned trip.
While on our earlier trip to Richland Creek, we came across this patch of the road with decent fall colors on both sides of the road. Usually, I would pass on a scene like this when I am driving, but something made me get out and take the image. It turns out this was the best fall colors photo I would take this fall. Well, at least it is improving each year.
Known as the Gateshead Glasshouse International Centre for Music and called the "Glasshouse" or the Glass Bubble Building by the Geordies.
Some information:-
The construction of this architectural staple of the Quayside marked a time of resurgence and change for the arts in Newcastle and Gateshead and the site of this giant glass, multi-domed building was once home to a rope and wire factory.
Now this elegantly construction of Foster and Partners-designed building has 630 panes of glass and was constructed in 1997 to revitalise Gateshead, by building a state-of-the-art concert venue in the unused industrial area.
And also, the building itself is made of specially constructed concrete that has extra air bubbles designed to improve both acoustics and sound proofing.
It's a great pity for me, it was not a really good day, with the weather when I composed and framed this capture, from over the River Tyne and was the only way for me to be able to fit and get into all in full frame! Because it is an enormous gigantic building that stands truly well out and is an eye-catching one too!
Many thanks for your very kind comments and compliments from you here, my good flickr friends !!!
I am happy to report the photo shoot yesterday was successful. I learned a lot and know that I need to work more with people to improve but all in all it wasn't what I had worked up in my head. I will say though that I really like only editing my one image a day vs. culling images from a large group. Ready to work and move forward, just baby steps!
Late post but had to work on real life pursuits first.
ODC - what are you waiting for? Rain and a break in the hot temperatures.

After their overnight run from Medley, FL, FEC train 336 switches onto the Cemex City Point lead at CP City Point in Cocoa, FL.
CP City Point was rebuilt from its original configuration a few months prior to this photo. Originally, it was just the single main and the City Point lead with some standard vaders. Now, as you can see, there's a whole new main being built and two tracks that turn west off of the main to head toward Orlando for Brightline.
A tree aims towards the light between two large rock faces. Kakadu National Park. Northern Territory, Australia. Revisiting some challenging images as I try to improve my PS skills due to covid quarantine. Something good will come of the pandemic.
It was a hectic month. I have visited many photogenic places inworld and events, made a lot of outfits, and improved my skills. I am very grateful my work was so much appreciated!
This historic timber trestle bridge is the last of its kind still being used in California along Highway One. In the 1850's a logging operation was developed at the mouth of the Albion River on the Albion Flats. Early settlers crossed the Albion River with wagons and horses via steep narrow dirt tracks that went through the mill site and back up the equally steep opposite slope. Eventually it was decided to improve the difficult crossing and in 1944 the current magnificent timber trestle bridge was built. It was constructed from huge first growth Douglas fir beams. Wood was chosen rather than steel because steel was scarce due to the ongoing war effort.
Today the Albion Flats and beach are a picnic area and campground open to the public year round.
There is an ongoing effort to preserve this bridge from demolition, something the California Transportation Agency is intent on doing. The plan is for a cement bridge. Many locals are hoping this can be prevented given the historic and unique nature of the Albion River Bridge. It remains to be seen what happens.

The beaches of Sutherland are so beautiful I have been to most of them. This was my reward for walking out to Faraid Head near Durness and what a reward it was. You can zoom in and see just clear the water was, it was bliss. This would match any Mediterranean Coast. The area is huge I took quite a few pictures out here it was quite incredible.
My final image from our post Christmas trip which took in much of the Scottish north west. The sunset colours just kept improving and though a slight breeze had started to affect the surface of Lochan an Ais I decided to zoom in somewhat from my previous composition and feature Stac Pollaidh and the fabulous colour banding in the sky and still lovely reflections.
For improved visibility on level crossings, NS are fitting the class SNG EMUs with a yellow front. For now, the blue and yellow fronts can be seen together - in this case literally, as the leading unit has the blue front (mostly obscured by the overhead line portal and, of course, the other EMU) and the trailing one is yellow. The pair are on their way on a local service from Amsterdam Centraal to Amersfoort Vathorst. Soest, 05-09-2021.

After some nights spent to learn and practice new imaging techniques, I propose a version of my first attempt to Andromeda Galaxy, less harsh, more realistic and detailed and (I hope) nicer to see.
- OTA: William Optics Zenithstar 61 APO doublet + WO Flat61 field flattener

Processing through Adobe Photoshop
Any comment and/or advice for improving is welcome
A re-edit from 2018 because software has improved since then. Lightroom didn't have layer masks, and doing that in photoshop sometimes becomes cumbersome.
I shared the video of my practice on Instagram, www.instagram.com/p/CX2XMO0BKcg/. I’m still a beginner but I’m improving a little bit at a time.
