Another image for my ongoing project capturing Barton Street East in Hamilton, Ontario. This is the back portion of an alley between 355 and 357 Barton just past the end of the murals at the entrance to that alley. The yellow doors look like they have been recovered from some derelict building’s doors. The pink-painted brick wall contrast nicely with the yellow doors. - JW

PP in free Open Source RAWTherapee from Nikon RAW/NEF source: Set final image size to 9000px wide, crop to a 5:7 format by cutting off some distracting detail along the right side of the frame, level the image, apply Tone Mapping as well as Dynamic Range Compression at default levels, use Tone Curve 2 in Parametric mode to recover Highlight detail, use the Shadows/Highlights tool to recover highlight as well as shadow detail, use the Graduated Neutral Density/GND tool rotated to cover and slightly darken the pavement, slightly increase Contrast and Chromaticity in L-A-B mode, slightly increase Vibrance, adjust colour balance by sampling a white portion of section stripped of paint on a door, apply sharpening (edges only), save. PP in free Open Source GIMP: use the Hue-Saturation-Brightness tool to increase the yellow channel brightness and also the yellow channel saturation to get it to better match the tonality of the pink wall, sharpen, save, scale to 6000 px wide, sharpen, save, add fine black-and-white frame, add bar and text on left, save, scale image to 3000 px wide for posting online, sharpen very slightly, save.
Looking back on some images taken on a very cold winter day in January 2015, I chose one of the old, digitally-dusty frames to process as it had been neglected for far too long. In Port Dalhousie (technically, the Regional City of St Catharines, Ontario), the Welland Canal entrance from Lake Ontario offers protection to ships making the transit via a pair of piers that extend out into the lake some 1000 metres. On the East side of the East pier, a man-made spit has been made from materials dredged during both canal construction and the periodic maintenance operations. Toward the far extent of the spit, sumac has established itself, albeit in a somewhat stunted form due to the constant winds off Lake Ontario. In the winter, those same wind deposit fine mist from the lake on the sumac branches and occasional seals in snow from a recent snowfall, as seen here. I spent time time out here freezing various appendages as I crawled around with tripod and camera to capture the scene on this day. - JW

Do you see the kids on top of the bridge?
It took a bit of patiences to get a shot with MOST of the visitors out of frame.
Ever fancied yourself a robotic arm developer?
We've released all the files and details needed to build your own and get developing and most importantly improving.
For More Details visit our blog:

To get building visit Thingiverse:
Taken with a 650nm IR filter. using a full spectrum modified NEX-5N.
Post production:
3x exposure bracketed images were combined to remove noise and increase the dynamic range. Photomatrix software was used for this. (Highly recommend this product.)
For "Golden IR" effect. Simply swap the red and blue channels in Photoshop.
No masking or per-pixel manipulation was done.
