Week 36-52 -2015 Edition - Multi Exposure.
This weeks Multi Exposure Theme proved to be incredibly difficult as I have very limited understanding of Photoshop. This was not the photo I had planned but just could not get the planned photo.
It did not help either that my Adobe settings again blocked access to Photoshop until I signed up for a 30 day trial, even though It is already part of my monthly subscription
I used the following instructions received from a camera club colleague Jane Friel to merge my two photos. Open both photos in photoshop. select one photo by pressing Ctrl+A to select it, then Ctrl+C to copy it. go to the 2nd open file in photoshop. press Ctrl+V to paste the first photo you've selected onto the 2nd one. This will create a new layer. if you want to see the layer underneath, reduce the 'fill' command (above the layers panel). It's usually at 100%.
Didn't manage following. Use the move tool to move the top layer around to align it where ever you want. When you are happy with the placement, put the fill command back to 100%. Create a mask. Use the brush tool to brush away the detail you don't want - you need to use the black square/white square on the tools panel. When finished, merge your layers.
These Black Oystercatchers are going to have to practice their synchronization skills, they weren't going to be winning any gold medals at the olympics.

This scene was quite amusing to me. We were driving along one of the major motorways when a motorcycle came flying by with a women sitting casually on the back. She was texting away while the guy was dodging in and out of traffic.
Architecture / Garden Design / Casa_Cesar_Manrique
Im Garten des Hauses von César Manrique steht die markante, mehrstämmige Pflanze im Zentrum eines sorgfältig gestalteten Ensembles aus dunklem Vulkansubstrat, kreisförmigen Steinrändern und verschiedenen Kakteen. Die klare Formensprache, die organische Struktur und die kontrastreiche Farbigkeit zwischen Grün und Schwarz spiegeln Manriques Prinzip wider, Natur und Gestaltung zu einem ruhigen, harmonischen Raum zu verbinden.
In the garden of César Manrique’s house, the distinctive multi‑stemmed plant stands at the center of a carefully designed composition of dark volcanic soil, circular stone borders, and various cacti. The clean design language, organic structure, and strong contrast between green and black reflect Manrique’s approach of merging nature and design into a calm, harmonious space.

Excerpt from uwaterloo.ca:
Description of the District
The MacNab-Charles Heritage Conservation District is a one
block area bounded by MacNab Street South, Hurst Place,
Charles Street and Bold Street in the City of Hamilton. The
district consists of seven properties. These properties include
two multi-unit residences, a church and manse, two residential
properties and offices.
Cultural Heritage Value of the District
According to a plaque, the cultural heritage value of the district lies in the fact that:
The downtown block of MacNab Street South, Hurst Place, Charles Street and Bold Street contains a unique collection of stone buildings primarily dating from the 1850s.
While stone architecture was relatively rare in Ontario, Hamilton’s Mountain offered a ready supply of limestone. The local resource was used to great advantage in the hands of the newly-arrived Scottish stonemasons, establishing pre-Confederation Hamilton as a city renowned for its wealth of handsome stone
architecture.
With the MacNab Street Presbyterian Church as the focal point, the Victorian stone and brick streetscape of MacNab-Charles evoke a genuine sense of history in the heart of this city.
Designation of the District
The designation of the MacNab Charles Heritage Conservation District was initiated by the City Hamilton.
The Study and Plan were conducted and written between 1986 and 1988 by the Local Planning Branch, Planning and Development Department and the Hamilton-Wentworth Region. It was carried out in consultation with a local District Steering Committee made up of owners from the area.
The MacNab-Charles Heritage Conservation District is protected by By-law 90-144 which was passed on May 9, 1990 by the City of Hamilton.
The droplets again !
THE TECHNIQUE!
I used soft pastels and drew them on some card to get those colours I then used a pane of clear glass and cleaned it, I then placed the glass above the coloured card about 2 feet above but this can be any height really but it does have to be high enough for the subject to be out of focus, the higher it is the more detail in the reflections.
I then used a eye dropper filled with water and placed the droplets on the surface of the pane of glass and just focusing on the droplets and nothing else to get this results, go on have a go yourselves!! You can use any subject material just use your imagination!
The cutting-edge technology that keeps the Silverstone motor racing track in tip-top condition could be coming to Croydon. John Bownas spoke to the team hoping to bring it here.
Pot holes – we all hate ‘em, and Croydon certainly has its share.
But now, the borough’s highways team is taking a lead from the people responsible for maintaining Silverstone’s grand prix circuit.
New technology that is good enough for the world’s top racing drivers is being tested in Croydon to see if it is up to the council’s exacting standards.
If trials are successful, the infrared-powered Nu-Phalt repair system could become invaluable to Croydon’s road repair crews who would be the first in London to realise its potential benefits.
Apart from a significant possible cost saving, the biggest advantages that the new technique has over traditional methods are:
•speed: a typical 1 square metre repair can be completed in just 20 minutes; currently, the same job takes considerably longer, and would be only a temporary fix;
•durability: the infra-red triggered thermal bonding means that patch repairs are far more permanent and blend seamlessly into the surrounding road surface;
•environmentally friendly: the process starts by recycling the existing macadam and needs only a small amount of new material to top off the repair.
The council has recently announced a multi-million pound investment project to resurface many of its roads.
However, there will always be a need for fast and efficient repairs in those cases where small patches of tarmac work loose.
This can happen at any time of the year – although it is usually after spells of wet or cold weather that these small holes open up to create a real headache for motorists and cyclists.
In total, the council’s emergency repairs operation currently costs about £560k every year in manpower and materials – and that’s not including the money that is budgeted separately for the major road resurfacing schemes that we will be seeing a lot more of over the next few years.
Steve Iles is the council’s head of highways, and he knows better than anyone else in the borough just how big a task it is to stay on top of the thousands of road repairs that his teams have to carry out every year.
Talking to Your Croydon about this mammoth job and his hopes for the promising high-tech solution, he first ran through some of the big numbers involved.
“We’ve got nearly 3,000 roads in Croydon, and these all get inspected by the council at least twice a year.
“We look out for any problems that might have arisen since the last visit – and particularly any new holes or cracks that could pose a hazard.
“Since January our system’s logged nearly 5,000 new reports from both streetscene inspectors and those members of the public who phone or email to tell us about possible problems.”
In that same time we’ve managed to fill in or repair about 9,800 – but there’s still around 8,600 that we know about waiting to be fixed.
“That takes a lot of doing,” continued Steve, “I’ve got six full-time staff who spend the majority of their day out doing this sort of work.
“And when they can’t do road repairs, because of snow and ice, they drive the gritting lorries to try to keep the roads clear.”
Tony Whyatt is the highways engineer whose research into improved technology solutions has led to the trial of the Nu-Phalt system.
“I’m really optimistic about how this will save us time and money.
“We reuse most of the existing road material on-site and need to add only a small amount of fresh material to each repair.
“There’s no noisy compressors, and the system cuts the number of vehicles and staff involved in each repair.
“We also minimise disruption to traffic – which is good for drivers – and these repairs can be driven over again almost immediately they’re finished.”
Indeed, driving away from our meeting with Tony we drove over a number of holes that had just been filled – and the first thing we noticed was that we didn’t notice them at all.
The repaired road was as smooth as the day it was originally laid.
