The V90 interrupts busy traffic on Mörikestraße as the crew switches Lotter, this branches only remaining customer, just past sunset. This Lotter location receives liquified petroleum gas in tank cars a few times a week during the colder months of the year. The company's other location not far from here receives a variety of steel products by rail on a branch with plenty of street running right through the city. Unfortunately the first loads after New Years holiday at the other location wouldn't come in until after my visit. Ludwigsburg, Germany

An updated version of this photo showing the cranes building the largest tower in San Francisco on a foggy flowing day.
With the hills of the Isle of Purbeck on the horizon, 60078 crawls up to the junction at Worgret with a train of liquefied petroleum gas.
The train had originated at the Furzebrook loading facility, carrying LPG from the Wytch Farm oilfield, and destined from BP’s distribution centre at Avonmouth.
This was a fun photo experiment that veered wildly off track. I had intended to simply merge 3 shots into one image and simply stack them up side-by-side. Since I used a flash, I ended up with a variation in exposures that meant stitching the portraits together in one image became far more challenging, so I opted for an monochrome HDR approach with some oil paint and jigsaw filters thrown in for good measure. I then reworked most of the individual squares from the jigsaw backdrop manually with liquify in PS to create a natural, more organic feel. Some details of the hair and eyebrows in the second and third portraits were also altered manually with the liquify brush.
Details and textures are best viewed in original size.
For your delight this Sliders Sunday I have concocted three very different offerings.
This session started, like many before, with an image that had some interesting qualities (principally colour and graphic shapes here) but wasn’t good enough to process as a proper image. This image was too blurred to be worth straight editing. So into the witch’s cauldron it went…
The mangles are (in no particular order):
- A plain edit and then a polar to rectangular conversion, but only on the red channel. I then rotated the image by 180 degrees and did the same but only on the blue channel. Instant modern art!
- A Topaz Studio 2 conversion using the Glow filter (amongst others - it was my own preset. Ask if you would like it :) ).
- Like the first this version was a simple edit in Affinity (easily done in PS too). I duplicated the proper edit version layer and then used the Liquify filter to push the pixels around mainly in a circular clockwise motion. I then blended it back to the proper edit layer using Difference blend. Then all I had to do was increase the brightness, contrast and saturation. I’ll probably post this version to the Sliders Sunday group as it’s more obvious on a small screen for those using smaller devices for Flickr. But I love the intricacy of the Topaz edit too…
All the manglings have been flipped horizontally which seemed to tell a better story.
The original image is linked in the first comment as usual so you can see where we started.
Thanks for looking. I hope you enjoy these - let me know if you have a preference :) Happy Sliders Sunday!
Converted from 1 raw in Photomatix.OPfilter, then Liquify filter in Photoshop applied. Premapped parrot added.
BW shot of a twisty light bulb in front of some wooden horizontal blinds, with the 'liquify' filter applied to the edges, then another liquify filter applied to the bulb, bending it a bit to the left. Finally applied a soft focus filter, just for fun. HMM!

There are 16 species of Araneidae to be found in the UK and all with 8 eyes and many and have distinctive abdominal patterns. Some species can be found in a variety of colours but will always have the abdominal patterns usually remaining the same. Can sometimes be known as the Pumpkin Spider, Cross Orb Weaver, Crowned Orb Weaver or Diadem Spider. These spiders are also Cannibals and will prey on each other which sometimes happen when mating just before or after sexual activity. Once a spider has caught its prey and will want to eat its food the first step is to literally vomit a digestive fluid all over the food and then to chew the item with the jaws (chelicerae), then on to suck up the fluid back into the mouth together with the liquified meat. Some spiders can produce at least six different kinds of silk and if spiders were scaled to the same size as us it is said that the Web would be strong enough to catch a helicopter. It has also been claimed that a cable of silk as thick as a thumb woven from spider silk would be able to bear the weight of a jumbo jet
Concept: Dreaming pulls off our daily masks and as much as we try insisting on our convictions we don't have them, we fail each and every time.
Background: This time the concept is simple...;)
Manipulation info: ...and so is the manipulation, overlays, some painting and liquifies. I'm not really content with the outcome, but if I stare the picture for more than a few seconds, I'm realizing it's not that bad after all. What do you think?
I wasn't happy with the final version because of the little anti-Gulliverian Liliputians kind of floating in mid air, but now that I think about it, it could also be depiction of a "dream of a dream", so it should be adding to the surrealistic feel. Makes sense?
Giant water bugs are fierce predators themselves, sometimes consuming prey larger than themselves. They inject a digestive toxin into their prey and suck out the liquified remains. (Yuck!)
Interestingly, it is the male that carries the fertilized eggs on its back until they hatch.
From the archives- another water lily shot. I was very depressed to find that the gooify feature Picmonkey used to offer is gone. iPiccy has "liquify", but it isn't the same. No more super artsy images. Sniff..sniff.... The old Picnic had it and I used that to process a lot of these type shots. The result would be something that looked like a painting. If anyone is familiar with it and knows where I can find it, please let me know!
Don't adjust your screen.
A multiple-exposure shot of a photo on the window of a hair salon transformed into photo art through hours of detailed tweaks with a range of software, filters and manual edits.
Really enjoyed pushing my processing skills a bit further and discovering some new techniques along the way.
Hopefully, it doesn't come across as being too busy or over-the-top.

When Lester inadvertently moved his garden hoe a bit too close to one of the smaller sunflowers, he found out the hard way how protective the larger sunflowers can be…
Pretty hokey stuff, folks, I know, but it was fun to do, and I had to find another way to use the sunflower image provided by my Photoshop instructor as part of a class assignment. I used the Liquify filter to extend and add curves to the petals in this composite shot.
For Our Daily Challenge: “Fun” and “Curves,” and for Sliders Sunday
HSS, everyone!
This is the entrance to Heysham Harbour being dredged by "Deo Gloria", a Trailing Suction Hopper Dredger.
This 44 year old vessel was built in Dieppe, France, but is sailing under a Netherlands flag. These ships deploy suction arms over the side down to the sea bed The ship then drags the head of the suction pipe along the seabed with high pressure nozzles of water and small metal teeth loosening and sucking up the sand and silt into the ships hoppers, acting very much like like a vacuum cleaner.
Once in the ships hoppers, the silt and sand sinks to the bottom of the hopper with the water flowing over the sides of the dredger back into the sea, as can be seen here. Once the ships hoppers are full, the ship can then discharge the load in one of four ways.
It can simply open the hold and dump the load elsewhere on the sea bed.
Secondly, it can liquify the material with pressure pumps and pump it out, sometimes over quite long distances to be used for land fill. This is called "pressing".
Thirdly it can be "rainbowed", which uses the same system as pressing but the material is simply blown out over the sides of the ship to create land on coastal reclamation areas.
Finally it can simply be craned out in Port!
Fascinating, I had to look all this up having been captivated by the activity I witnessed whilst watching this ship in action here at low tide, waiting for a sunset shot! Fascinating what you learn when out with a camera!!

HAPPY SLIDER SUNDAY
I have to admit to having a lot of fun creating the swirls 😁
Another lurid self-indulgence on my part for Sliders Sunday today. It's all about leaf veins... er... or wasn't that obvious?
This is a leaf. Mangled.
One of my usual approaches recently: duplicate the image layer and then set the top layer to Difference blend; then use a Liquify adjustment (much easier in Affinity Photo, at least for me) on the top layer. That creates a lot of crazy colours. To make it worse I then added HSL adjustment layers to the whole thing and also to the individual layers.
There was a little bit more skullduggery but I have confessed to the main bits here. Honest! ;)
To give you a clue: you can see the main vein of the original leaf going up the diagonal as a dark line. There is also a sinuous yellow line - that's the same vein after it was liquified by me pushing and pulling pixels in the adjustment :)

Thanks for even looking. Hope you enjoyed the fun. Happy Sliders Sunday :)
I was given a bunch of pink tulips. I don't like pink and I decided to try and change one of them in Photoshop for Sliders Sunday. I was inspired by Steven "Gaphiker" Hromnak and his use of difference blending - HSS!
I was rather at a loss yesterday about what to do for Sliders Sunday this week. Wonderful ideas were notable for their absence. So I thought I would have a play with that good old favourite - a dahlia pic.
There are four endpoints in this set: two are fairly well-travelled approaches and two are sheer experiment.
The first is a fairly straight rendition of the image using the Radiance and Smudge filters of Topaz Studio. The radiance lengthens and strengthens the lines while smudge smoothes surfaces. The result lends a greater sense of physicality, particularly in the petals, that works well with flowers - a bit like an oil painting. The difficulty with this approach is getting the balance right - if you look at the image in detail you can see the filters are having a real party so you need to resist overdoing it. But what is right depends quite a lot on the device and scale that the image is seen at. In other words, you are doomed :(
You can play Spot the Fly with this one ;)
The second is a mirror version created entirely in Affinity Photo. I thought I’d got over my obsession with mirroring flowers, but apparently not. This one is made setting up the adjustment with five mirrors and then searching about a bit with the origin to find an interesting image. Most of the work was in getting rid of the background.
Symmetry in an image has a strange effect on our minds. It increases visual impact but reduces attention span. I call it the ‘wow!... boring’ effect. I still like creating symmetric flower images because it makes me look more closely at the flower and see things that I’d previously missed.
The last two I feel a bit apologetic about as they are not really finished pieces but proofs of concept. They are both made using an approach I stumbled across with my previous Sliders Sunday playtime, that of duplicating the image layer and then changing the blend mode of the top layer to Difference. That just creates a black screen (because there is no difference between the layers). The fun starts when you begin mangling the top layer.
Previously I’d just used Liquify to mangle the layer (this pushes pixels around without smudging). It’s easy to do in Affinity because the Liquify adjustment is just another layer that remains editable. But that was not enough here - having a predominantly white flower doesn’t work as well as the multicoloured one last time. So I dabbled in my diddling with Recolour, Smudge, Gradient Map and Liquify. The textured one is mainly Smudge, and the other is several Difference results together in a composite.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy some of them and that they encourage you to have a bit of fun yourself. I’d love to hear which is your favourite. I’ll post a link to the in-camera version in the first comment so that you can see where we started with this set.
Thanks for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Sliders Sunday :)
This was taken in August last year at St John’s College, Cambridge. I played with it for Sliders Sunday a while back but never published it - it seems ages ago now.
The processing was easy - just two copies of the same image layer using Divide blend mode for the top one. You don’t see much! But if you then use a Liquify adjustment/filter thingy you can push pixels about using the cursor and the image starts to appear - a bit like developing a film old-style. I then sharpened it quite a bit using the High Pass/Linear Light blend combination.
I rather like the effect - it generates a kind of drawing, and I am sure that if I wasn’t quite as fluidly random then you would get a less ripply effect. Another technique to go back to sometime…
I’ll publish the original linked in the first comment.

If you are in the northern hemisphere are you ready for Autumn? I do love the fall here in the Northeast....the colors, the smell of leaves decaying and the overall change is so beautiful. Hope you have a great day!
It is 8am here in Provence and the weather is perfect! The sun is shining, it is nice and warm, the sky is blue. It will get hotter and hotter through the day, and our hosts are proposing a golf game. I don't play golf, and I don't cope with the heat the way I did - not sure I am looking forward to it all....This rose that I took at home the last time I remember rain.... Is it really only 13 days ago?
Liquified gas carrier, outbound from Stanlow.
Note the building between the two tower blocks, centre of frame : it is the (infamous) Liverpool Walton Prison....
No, this is not Jupiter, this is a sunset. First, I applied Motion Blur and Liquify on the image. Then I handed the image over to Analog Efex Pro. In the end, I added some final color correction tweaks in Aperture.
You might want to check out the original shot for the sake of comparison.
Is this still a photo? I don't know. But somehow I like it, maybe because of its painterly feel.
Enjoy!
Like poetry twirls through thought,
Life swirls through existence,
Friendship doesnt harden,
it liquifies to seep through the cracks of the universe
The squirrel that owns my back garden spends most of his autumn burying nuts in the lawn. I am sure he thinks he is storing up a cache of supplies to last him through the winter, but the number of tree seedlings that emerge in the following year is testimony to his forgetfulness.
Most of the emerging trees are children of our hazels but sometimes we get a walnut springing up in a flower pot - evidence of theft from the neighbours. Fortunately, we don’t have any oaks in the centre of the village else look what might happen!
The images in this set of playful creations for Sliders Sunday today are based on a picture of one of my favourite oaks on my local walks. This magnificent tree stands very photo-helpfully by the edge of a lane with no wires or telegraph posts in the way.
I’ve been too busy with other things recently to do much photography (or Flickr, alas). So this set has taken several weeks of playtime tinkering to produce.
Numbers I to V are created using Topaz Studio; VI is made just using layers and blend modes in Affinity Photo and then mangling it with the Liquify tools to give a windblown look; VII is a version created using Nik Color Efex.
I’ll post II to Sliders Sunday today. It’s created using the Remix filter and the stained glass window effect rather appeals to me, although it’s instantly recognisable as Topaz.
I like all of these for some reason or another though I am clearly biased. Which is your favourite I wonder…
The commentary is the same for each and I’ll post a link to the in-camera original in the first comment as usual.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the images. Happy Sliders Sunday :)
#MacroMondays
#Bokeh
It's Casio time again :) This is the third time I've photographed this particular watch from Casio's Vintage line for an MM theme. I couldn't shoot the bracelet this time because I'd already done so before, but I always wanted to get extra close to the shiny logo on the watch's face, and now, with the Laowa lens, this was easier (well, sort of) than ever before. The final image is a single shot processed in DXO PL6, Color Efex, and Luminar Neo.
The lettering (0,65 cm / 0,25 inches wide) was printed, or rather embossed, with a silvery, super shiny "ink" so it almost looks like liquid metal (mercury comes to mind). I've always been fascinated by what happens to lettering when photographed with a very shallow depth of field, so this lent itself as one possible choice for our "Bokeh" theme. I also photographed the "Knot of Fate" pendant and necklace/chain (the bokeh classic) which also was part of last week's theme, and an "S-Biner" carabiner hook that had fallen out of my camera's accessory pouch when I changed my cam's battery (speaking about photographing random things for a theme), so, in the end, it was a little difficult to choose – which is why I simply delegated the choice ;)
HMM, Everyone!

About the Photo
*Camera: Canon EOS Digital Rebel XS *Lens: EF-S 18-55mm ƒ/3.5-5.6 IS *Shutter Speed: 1/125Sec. *Aperture Value: ƒ/11 *ISO: 100 *Focal Length: 34.0mm
I used a RAW file and made 3 JPEGS from it at +2EV -2EV and 0EV. I loaded them into Photomatix Pro and tone mapped the image. I then opened the image in Photoshop CS4 Extended and did some dodging, burning, and straightening to the image. I then used liquify and used the turnulence tool to create strokes through the image.

Embryo is back and it looks amazing. Lots of little themed areas including a little winter scene. Thank you to Siestabril for sharing this beautiful sim with everyone ♥
(Will add slurl tomorrow)
(May be bothered to liquify wrists tomorrow too :)
Retrack Stadler EURODUAL 159 221 (90 80 2159 221-1 D-RCM) 'Nina' + tankers/Kesselzug (UN 1965 hydrocarbon gas mixture, liquified) # DGS 69612 Ingolstadt >>> Marl.
One of those tiny flowers from those I grew from seed and I never know what they are. I didn't like the leaves and liquified them a bit.
Happy Friday and a great weekend to all of you!
I was in shirpala and i was about to descend but then i changed my mind ,i climbed the little rock to have a better view and start shooting for a while till i realized there is less than 2 hours remained to mid night, i gathered everything and went back to shelter. ;)
