This is where the Lancaster Canal broadens out at Carnforth to allow canal boats to easily turn round. The canal dates from the late 1790s and was intended to improve the supply of coal from the Yorkshire coalfields to Lancaster. It was never completed, and trains eventually took over that role. These days, the canal runs from Tewitfield - a few miles north of Carnforth - down to Preston.

3- eliminare la distorsione della lente
4- piu' contrasto

Another bash at improving my product photography. This time with an additional prop. I still have a long way to go before I'm happy. I'm limited these days by space so everything is done in a Heath Robinson fashion! I'd love a proper studio with proper lights instead of standing on one leg whilst holding foamboard, diffusers, flashes and remote controls!
I've had to comp together the bottle and the glass. This lighting effect could not be achieved in a single shot.
I've used as single YN560IV speedlight. For the bottle: Flash in a 24" double diffused softbox to the rear. Approx. 18" away. A further diffuser was used just behind the bottle to give a more gradated rim light. This hasn't quite had the effect I wanted! I cut from a piece of black foamboard a slightly larger shape of the bottle and placed this behind. Then 2 larger pieces of black foamboard placed left and right of subject to control the glare from the softbox. Speedlight triggered via YN560TX Full power @ 24mm. I then used the same flash with a Rogue grid attachment to light the label. 1/128 @ 24mm.
The glass was filled with water and a few drops of red food colouring. Same set up as the bottle but with a much lower flash power. 1/32 @ 24mm.
PP included masking the label frame into the bottle then compositing it with the glass. I'm quite comfortable with the camera/flash aspect of these shoots but PS work still blows my mind.....
I also need to inspect my purchases closer for wonky damaged labels. Hope it tastes ok tho :)
Still, it's much better than sat in front of the gogglebox having your brain fogged by a soap opera!
For years Larry has been on a mission to build the ultimate beach wagon.
He's built several different prototypes through the years, before coming up with the ultimate design!

Formerly known as strip-headed tanager, this is not an easy bird to see in North American, Your best chance to see this fellow is around Holguin of Cuba.
After an hour of hiding from the rain and strong winds the clouds started to clear. I was hoping for a rainbow or two looking towards Chrome Hill; there's always another time for me and my shadow to visit
Steering improved.

Still need to add the frame to hold the rails and pneumatic to raise and lower.
Debating whether to keep the shape of the door for aesthetics vs an opening door which won't look as good. Considering there will be plenty of items to play with, that's probably going to the bottom of the list. What do you think?
I've been playing in Photoshop with my favorite photo. I tried adding the Orton effect to see how it would look. I thought it would just make it look blurry and crappy. Surprisingly, I loved it. This photo has such a magical, painterly quality, I think the Orton effect really enhances that. People have always thought this photo looks like a painting. They probably think that because, this photo does look like a painting. And... Once again... As I said in my description of the original version. This picture was not majorly Photoshopped. I did some darkening of the sky. Increased contrast in the rocks, and got rid of some people walking around the lighthouse... And... Now I added the Orton effect. If you printed the negative in a darkroom, it would look pretty much like this.
Here's the original.
This is a resubmission which hopefully is an improvement on the previous scan having removed the grain and sharpened a little.

This LEAST BITTERN is one of the most difficult North American marsh birds to spot. Despite its inconspicuousness, however, the species can be rather common within appropriate habitat in its breeding range....All About Birds

some memories of autumn in magical countryside. I need to improve my photographic technique in these locations, but I hope you like it.
I like the great contrast of the colors red, green and white. The long exposure has saturated the colors and improved the water. In addition, the polarizers, have allowed me to play with the lights and reflections.
I am very busy in these days but I will return soon with new photos and more activity on flickr. Thanks all for comments. Have a nice week end.
Update: on Explore! Thanks!
One shot, no HDR I use only some polarizers.
I do not like to add my picture in many groups, please do not ask.
Please don't use this image on websites, blogs or other media without my explicit permission.

Lewis Falls, of the Lewis River (Scenic Segment), that pours out of Lewis Lake, is named for Meriwether Lewis, of Lewis & Clark Fame. Very recentlly the Park Service wisely invested in major improvements to the viewing areas and added a short, safe trail to overlooks such as this one. As a result my estimation of this small beauty spot has also improved. Lovely fall colors certainly add to the appeal as well. As always, I recommend viewing full screen if you can.
My friend Mao and myself was looking for Bobwhites on a farm field in Holguin of Cuba a couple of days ago and found this lone SHORT-EARED OWL instead.
LMAO LOOK IN LIKE 6 months! LOOK XD
The first pic was Nami when I first designed her, man I sucked t drawing |D
The second pic is one I did not long ago, I love it more than skittles 8D
There is nothing like holding a beautiful, cold, wild, trout in your hands to improve your disposition. It is even more rewarding when you can handle it with care and return it to the stream.
I fooled this trout with a small caddis fly pattern in a small stream in SW Wisconsin.
For me fishing is just an excuse to hang around rivers and streams. I enjoy the environs that trout inhabit. I love to photograph it all.

Thank you all so much for the kind comments. I never thought I'd be publishing such manipulated photos – this is my first attempt, learning how to work with graphics programs ;)
The outlook of Brunel's Royal Albert Bridge and the Tamar Road Bridge from the viewing area car park on the Devon side of the River Tamar has been improved by the lopping of the trees behind the contractors compound, which previously obscured the view. Also, it looks like at long last, the contractors compound is being wound down, and hopefully it, too, will disappear in time. A visit by the chain saw to the bushes on the left would not come amiss, either, but at least, the view of Brunel's masterpiece is again there to be enjoyed.

I have a feeling the terramycin I put on the seed ports of this feeder has helped this bird's conjunctivitis. Her eyes look way better and she just looks perkier. We were away for six days and the seed feeder got emptied. The water heater for bird water had to be turned off and yet she survived. Tough little bird. Lens: Panasonic 100-400
