I have a burning desire to see what things look like photographed by me.

我有種熱切的欲望想要看看被我拍攝的事物會以何種方式呈現在照片裡。

～Garry Winogrand - said when he was asked why he photographs.

On top of the rise looking down to the south was Stromness. to the West where the hills of the mainland of Orkney. beyond.................nothing, until you bump into Newfoundland and the Torngat National Park. we where just a little further south than the beginning of Greenland. with the sun bright through the day the air was pretty chilly and when outside it was gloves and hat.

I captured these beatiful light beams, during a morning walk with my dog.

The light just lasted for maybe 2 minutes, so I didn't had much time to capture this image.

It's handhold and cropped.

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.

A view from local countryside yesterday couple of hours before sunset. Sometimes ordinary sceneries can turn extraordinary. Oh how I love autumn. Shot with Leica M + Summilux-M 75. Have a great day, folks! :-)

IJsselmeer Bench Sundowner

I was heading out late in the day on a very foggy day, when I saw the sun was trying to break through, and the shafts of light through the trees were calling to me. I went around the block and came back to take some pics with my little purse camera. I'll post a few more over the the next few days.

L for black.

Some nice light rays illuminating Traverse City's tallest building and water tower.

Waiting for better times

I took this shot not long after sunrise, a bit of early morning cloud shielding the sun separated in sections and these awesome rays of light beamed down.

These shots (series of 3) were taken in Central Queensland Australia.

I think this just broke the record for the fastest shot I have ever composed. This was the mistiest waterfall I have seen since visiting Yosemite several years ago. It was absolutely roaring yesterday. I could feel the mist the second I got out of my car in the parking lot. By the time I got close enough to see it, I could barely keep my eyes open with all the blowing mist. So… I ducked behind a tree to take shelter. It was the only slightly dry spot around. I would peek out from behind the tree to try and pick out a spot that I thought would make a nice composition. Then I set all the camera settings the way I wanted them. Shut the autofocus off, so it wouldn't be focusing on some random particle of water. Opened up the tripod legs, then, ran out to my spot, plopped down the tripod, pulled off the lenscap, fired off a shot within about one millisecond. Then, ran back to take shelter behind my tree. I repeated this process several times until I ran out of dry things to wipe the lens with.

This is Grizzly Falls in Kings Canyon National Park.

Lalibela, Ethiopia

A natural English woodland in Springtime with the spring lambs bleating on the fields above, this was such a lovely morning to be out, especially with the mist and sunlight.

Since its so tight to have a wide angle shot of our cathedral, I thought of this shot using my telephoto taken from the park. From the common dome and belfry, this is for me expressing my reverence of our cathedral. Thank you for viewing.

Sunset light catches a downtown building at just the right angle.

Along the East Fork Quinault River Trail.

Abandoned. Detroit. Hole in the wall. Reflection.

These caves are located on Halong Bay. The insides of the cave are amazingly colourful. However, the most eye-catching feature was the penetration of the sun rays through two openings in the cave.

Upon our last visit with my wife's grandmother, I couldn't resist trying to capture the essence of her beautifully expressive hand gestures.

This scene was recorded in the early evening of December 2, 2022 (late in the year). This was seen on the Foothills Parkway, northeast of Cosby, TN. The rays of sunlight thru the cloud formations were interesting to me, given this level of darkness.

Spent some time this afternoon reprocessing this image which was taken taken some months ago whilst walking in Margam Park. I have added some lightrays after watching a Gavin HoeyPhotoshopYou Tube tutorial showing the technique. Hope you like it.

This image is continuing this short series taken on Killiney beach earlier this week on a dull and dreary day. However a ray of light did appear for a shortwhile.

I definitly like it sung by the Doors...

Kept driving through passing snow storms on the A49. So I decided to take a detour up Titterstone Clee since I had witness snow storms a few years ago up there. So glad I did since I saw snow storms coming from every direction, was full of energy (totally in my element).

The wind chill factor was very harsh so couldn't venture too far from my vehicle. I could hardly stand and my fingers and brain became so numb was hard to operate the camera but did manage to get a few none blurry shots.

This one was my fav since has I was taking this snow storm over Bromfield another snow storm was hitting me, totally cool.

Will catch up on flickr very soon been bust bee :-)

The sun is set; and in his latest beams

Yon little cloud of ashen gray and gold,

Slowly upon the amber air unrolled,

The falling mantle of the Prophet seems.

~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, A Summer Day by the Sea
