EXPLORE #152... 06/17/09.

O.K., this is no longer an experiment.

I went outside this evening and took some shots..... I quite like this one.

Seashore

On the seashore of endless worlds children meet.

The infinite sky is motionless overhead

and the restless water is boisterous.

On the seashore of endless worlds

the children meet with shouts and dances

Rabindranath Tagore

Large

a selective colour , 3 exposure image of my local beach

I used the dehaze slider to bring the rays and clouds back into detail, actually never knew this much detail is recovered.

Not a very good picture but I'm happy with the result of winter and warm colours mixed together.

Let me know your thoughts.

My technique is alway the same:

Three exposures -2EV, 0, +2EV and then temperature adjustement using Lightroom and layering with luminosity mask using photoshop. Removal of distracting stuff with the stamp tool or patch tool. High pass filter to enhance details. Then saturation, contrast selectively control, dodge and burn where need...

DRI stand for Dynamic Range Increase. Three RAW files are used to achieve this. Rather than using a software like Photomatix for instance, I simply use mask to blend, my own way, the light, dark and normal shot with Photoshop and Lightroom.. To me, It looks more natural than the usual HDR treatment that I would normally applied.

Ma technique est toujours la même:

Trois prises de vue -2EV, 0, +2EV. Ensuite ajustement de la température de couleur avec Lightroom et usage de calques et masques de luminosités avec Photoshop. Retrait d'éléments de distraction avec l'outil tampon. Filtre High pass pour le rehaussement des détails. Ensuite saturation et contraste ajustés de façon sélectives et locales. Dodge and burn là où requis...

DRI vient de l'anglais Dynmic Range Increase, qui pourrait se traduire par étendue dynamique améliorée. Les même 3 fichiers RAW entrent dans la composition d'un DRI. Plutôt que de se servir d'un logiciel comme Photomatix qui fait tout le travail, je me sers plutôt de masques pour filtrer l'éclairage dans photoshop et Lightroom. De mon point de vue, cette façon de faire donne une image plus naturel que le traitement HDR que j'employais auparavant.

Nach einem sehr bewölkten Tag ein versöhnlicher Abschluss

At dawn, anything can happen...

1st real shot of 2015, hope it's good year for all! :)

Taken in spot X, Belfast, Northern Ireland

A little pratice session....not happy with it though so will have ago another night this week...

The sun sets across the North Fork Valley and paints the high meadow of Nelson Sods in luxurious greens.

Was heading to the coast the other morning but made a last minute detour to Herringfleet and was rewarded with a great sunrise, a little mist hangin on and even a picture book sunburst. Felt more like June than January.

Do you like cows too?

Sunset golden glow on the Scottish Isle of Harris

Another shot from my lucky morning at sunrise down the grounds. No HDr on this one.

View On Black

one of those fleeting moments as the sun breaks through the fog. I couldn't decide between the colour or mono images...

the moody sky above this just made it have to be black and white

Northern Arizona has made a lasting impression on me. It is no wonder ancient native civilizations populated this area. This view is from the Tuzigoot pueblo that was built 700-900 years ago with a sprawling 100 room complex atop a hill in this area.

... A lasting investment till the tide comes in but please don't tell anyone that.

Up for grabs : A vast expanse of real estate gound overlooking the sea at Royan in France. Ideal for building castles on or hotels if you're into Monopoly.

Prices : Negotiable at low tide and when the coast is clear.

For further details, please contact Sandy & Co., Honest Brokers.

Beware of sharks at all times and in all forms!

And remember, if your finances do dry up, running water is yours for the taking twice a day to tide you over.

And, major tax cuts are on the horizon. Just imagine, you'll be able to see your tax cuts every day!

Shot on location near the sea, would you believe.

AT least to pray is left, is left.

O God! in the air

I know not which thy chamber is,—

I ’m knocking everywhere.

Thou stirrest earthquake in the South,

And maelstrom in the sea;

Say, Jesus Christ of Nazareth,

Hast thou no arm for me?

Self portrait....with timer...

Explored Sep 20, 2008

With people fishing.

This spot on Boston Harbor is a very common location for photographers and others who want to see fantastic evening views of the Boston Skyline. However, many of the photos taken at this location have a certain similarity. I was trying to avoid that in this picture by getting just the right angle to catch the sun rays as the sun dipped behind the skyscrapers.

Beaumont, Mt Salève (France)

My last post of last Sunday's foggy morning :-) I know...I know..."YAY". It's either this or more Adirondack fog, Colorado, or Ricketts Glen! Actually...wait...I do have a couple more from Ricketts Glen...scratch that.

Anyway...I did tool with this just a fraction. I pulled back on the clarity to give it a softer feel and pushed the vibrance up a little to bring back the colors that were lost. I like the play of the light on the water's surface...but damn...doesn't this really need Bambi stopping by under those light rays for a drink of water?

I appreciate the offers but please ***NO INVITES OR GROUP ICONS***</b

Crop of an earlier image. Saguaros on sloping ledges in Finger Rock Canyon, north of Tucson. The steep sides of the canyon block the sunlight well before sundown, and the tall saguaros stay lit much longer. And the ocotillo, with their spray pattern as at lower left, catch the light only at the tips, giving a firework pattern in the center--zoom to see it better.

Do you know that feeling when you finally see the summit cross before you just in time to see the sun setting behind the mountain peaks across the valley?

Lismore lighthouse taken from on the ferry during our crossing from Oban to Mull, you can see the rain in the light rays, quite a sight, luckily we missed the worst of it.

Thank you for the faves and view..

There is a beacon of light

that guides you still

even in the darkest night

even amidst the fiercest storm

We had a chance to explore the old GATS warehouse..It didn't disappoint.

I was on a landscape photography workshop in Western Australia and was intrigued by the sun rays and reflection on the currents in the sea. To preserve the detail in the scene required an ND filter and polariser. ISO was set at 100, f16 allowed a 0.5s exposure to get a little bit of swirl in the water. Adjustments in Lightroom and finally in Silver Efex Pro managed to bring out all the details.
