3"x3" section of the column lock for tripod.

Image taken with Nikon D5500 and Tamron 16-300mm @ 86mm and 20mm extension tube.

 

It's not easy for me to take a macro of a tripod without a tripod!... so I needed to bump up ISO to 25600 in order to take hand held @ 1/160th.

Lock on the River Thames a few miles south of Oxford city centre.

This bridge on Bracebridge, Worksop was once the main road between two areas of Worksop. I remember in the 50s cycling across it many times but it was always a bottleneck with a single carriageway. Too small for lorries, eventually another road and bridge were built and this shot is taken from the replacement. Now it is only passable by pedestrians and bikes. Through the bridge, you can just see Kilton Top Lock on the Chesterfield Canal.

On a rainy evening, the "Popradské Pleso" lake in the Tatras mountains, Slovakia.

 

This shot was taken with a mobile phone, as my camera broke down at the very beginning of this trip. I locked the ISO setting of the phone to 100 ISO to try to get as much as possible out of the camera phone, and then resorted to post-processing to try to get a quality image.

 

For post-processing, I used darktable. I used non-local means denoising, and adjusted the tone curves to have a strong highlight in the center of the image. I use both the equalizer filter (in clarity mode) and the local contrast filter, with masks selecting the center of the image, to increase the contrast gradually toward the center. My goal was to make more visible the different layers of mountains.

 

Then, I worked a lot on the lower part of the image, the lake, to enhance the highlights in the reflection. For this, I started with a strong modification of the tone curves. However, this created a lot of noise as the sensor of the phone is not too good in the shadows. To fight this noise, applied a set of filters only on the lower part of the image: I used a stronger non-local means that I combined with a wavelet-based denoising (using the "profiled" denoising filter of darktables) as these have different types of artifacts. To cancel out the artifacts, I added to these a low-pass filter that smooths out the image. On top of this, I added artificial grain, to restore the grain of the image destroyed while smoothing.

  

Finally, I worked a bit on the clouds. I wanted to crop the top of the image, in order to focus more on the horizon line, but I was interested in the shapes of the cloud. So I used a liquify filter to warp these clouds down. Last, in a minor and classic trick, I created a vignetting-like effect by making the top and left clouds darker with a tone-curve filter.

Another of the locks on the Wey Navigations. Some of them have these lock keepers cottages which always improves the view.

Quick snap of my dad while he was standing over one of the lock gates, taking a photograph looking down at the rushing water pouring over it.

LOL why is this getting so many views and no comments?

The image just before last one on here... this is where they really fought it out... resulting in the one being fought into the lake!... so much power

so many flies over them... early misty morning

EPR's 37407 heads south at Potters Lock between Ilkeston & Trowell on the Erewash Valley with 5Q35 0830 Barrow Hill-Long Marston with 2 x 350/2s for store. I'm very grateful for another chance at this consist after getting completely wiped out by a unit yesterday.

One of several restored locks on the historic Hennepin canal that connects the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers across Northern Illinois. Lock 16.
