Besos.
Back in 2013 we drove out to Newfoundland and as part of that trip headed out to Cape Spear (just outside St John’s), the most easterly point in North America. On top of the Cape sits a classic East Coast lighthouse built in 1836, but just as striking was a long white-painted picket fence. We made it out there shortly before sunset and the low light just made the fence pop. Sitting on the steps leading into the small addition to the lighthouse are two ladies taking a break from serving dinner to a special function taking place there. - JW
Date Taken: 2013-08-18
Tech Details:
Taken using a hand-held Nikon D7100 fitted with a Nikkor 18-105mm VR lense set to 18mm, ISO200, Aperture priority mode, f/5.0, 1/800 sec. PP in free Open Source RAWTherapee from Nikon jpeg source file (before I converted to shooting RAW+JPEG): set final image width to 9000px, crop off the top of the image to get a panoramic format, convert to B&W and reduce the green and red gamma values to get a good base tonal range, remove perspective distortion (keystoning), set exposure adjustment to +0.48 stops, increase contrast in L-A-B mode, enable Shadows/highlights and recover fence highlight detail as well as pull a bit up of shadow detail in the grass, sharpen, save. PP in free Open Source GIMP: duplicate the image onto 2 layers and use the top layer for sky adjustment and the bottom layer for foreground adjustment, add a black/transparent layer mask to the top/sky layer and paint in the sky area using a soft-edged brush and white paint, adjust the sky tonality using the tone curve tool to darken and increase sky contrast to bring out the clouds a bit then use the dodge-burn tool and a large soft-edged brush to and highlight dodging to brighten the clouds, on the foreground layer use the tone curve tool to brighten the fence and overall detail while pulling down the darkest tones a bit and then use the dodge-burn tool to increase the highlights in the rocks along the ground surface as well as the lit side of the domed roof of the lighthouse, create new working layer from visible results, sharpen, save, scale image to 6000x3100px, add fine B&W frame, add bar and text on left, save, scale image to (approx) 2400x1200px, sharpen slightly save.
This is an image from a trip to Albion Falls in Hamilton, Ontario last month. It shows the lower portion of the falls, the part I find most appealing. This is the waterfall that carries the Red Hill Creek down the Niagara Escarpment, as the creek flows Northward to empty into Lake Ontario. This is one of the most attractive as well as accessible waterfalls in the area and hence is quite popular as a photo location. The silky water effect is a result of the long exposure enable by the extremely dark, 10-stop Neutral Density/ND filter. - JW

Taken using a tripod-mounted Nikon D7100 fitted with a Nikkor 18-105mm VR lense set to34mm, 10-stop ND filter, ISO100, Manual WB – sunny/fine weather, Aperture priority mode, f/13.0, 30 sec. PP in free Open Source RAWTherapee from Nikon RAW/NEF source file: resize image to 9000x6000 pixels, slightly darken (decrease exposure) image overall, enable Graduated Neutral Density/GND filter tool and use it to darken the bright water area in the upper section of the frame and better balance it with the lower portion of the image, crop a portion off the top, warm WB slightly, slightly increase contrast, enable shadows-highlights and boost highlights slightly and also bring up shadows, increase vibrance, enable noise reduction, save. PP in free Open Source GIMP: adjust tone curve to brighten the image overall slightly, duplicate the image to a layer below the initial working layer and name it upper left, significantly increase the brightness of the upper left area as well as boosting its contrast and saturation disregarding the impact on the rest of the image, then use a large soft-edged eraser tool to remove the upper left from the top layer to reveal the better version form the layer below, create new working layer from visible result, select the shaded portion of the falls along the left and reduce the blue and cyan saturation to get a more 'natural' colour of the water, slightly increase contrast, sharpen, save, scale to 6000 wide (my preferred working size for prepping images to be posted online), add fine black and white frame, add bar and text on left, scale to 1800 wide for posting.

Revisión del downloading MP3 tras las declaraciones de Bill Gates sobre Open Source, licencias CC y comunismo. Lo malo es que no recuerdo donde la encontré.
About two years ago, I was waiting to pick up a friend in Hamilton, Ontario, and decided to head over to the waterfront at Pier 9 to see how construction was starting up in that area’s redevelopment initiative. While there I looked in to see how HMCS Haida, a historically important Canadian warship (www.hmcshaida.com/ship/history.aspx ) now berthed here as a museum and national park (of sorts), was looking after its then recent inspection and fresh coat of paint. I tried a somewhat different approach and shot the bow in a symmetrical frame tightly cropped in-camera to emphasize the anchors and abstract the shape. The light was perfect for bringing out the textures and rivets. In case you were wondering this is not a black-and-white/B&W image, it is a full colour shot. - JW

Taken using a tripod-mounted Nikon D7100 fitted with a Tamron 90mm f2.8 Macro 1:1 (272E) lense, ISO100, Auto WB, Aperture priority mode, f/7.1, 1/60 sec. PP in free Open Source RAWTherapee from Nikon RAW/NEF source file, scale image to result in a final dimension of 9000x6000 pixels after cropping is completed once the image is leveled, leave exposure at as-shot, slightly boost contrast and saturation in L-A-B mode, boost black level slightly to deepen tones in the anchors, enable Shadows/highlights and boost highlight recover to improve highlight detail in the upper corners, slightly warm the image by increasing the colour temperature, slightly boost vibrance, sharpen, save. PP in free Open Source GIMP: very slightly modify the tone curve to deepen the bottom 10% of the curve and lift the curve very slightly around the point approximately 2/3 in from the left, sharpen slightly, save, scale to 6000 vertical (my preferred longest dimension for images intended to be posted online), add fine black and white frame, add bar and text on left, save, scale to 1800 high for posting, sharpen, save.

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.
I have developed a bit of a fascination for colourful (and busy) restaurant counters and the adjacent work spaces. We had been at local Grimsby, Ontario coffee house (Station One, located in our former downtown fire-hall, hence the name) for a bit of a light supper and I decided to try a hand-held panorama of the main counter. It was a bit of a gamble. Not only was I shooting hand-held in low light, but people had the poor judgement to keep getting into (or leaving) my frames at he most inopportune times. Nothing wrong with photography that getting rid of all the people could not cure! Regardless, I got the three frames I would need, although not without being spotted by one of the staff (see the lady on the left of centre). A bit of computer magic in PP took care of traces of unwanted people in the result (including removal of a second instance of the staff member behind the counter right of centre). A crude but acceptable panorama resulted. In case you are wondering, I did try this with my usual panorama software, free Open Source Hugin) but it kept getting cranky about the fit and that led me to the manual approach. - JW

Three overlapping frames taken using a hand-held Nikon D7100 fitted with a Nikkor 35mm f/1.8 DX lense, ISO640 (manually set), Auto WB, Aperture priority mode, f/2.2, 1/25 sec. PP of individual frames using free Open Source RAWTherapee from Nikon RAW/NEF source files (all three frames identically processed to optimize matching result): exposure compensation set to 0, contrast set to 60, black level set to 500, vibrance set to 20, saved. PP in free Open Source GIMP: created a new blank canvas large enough to contain the resulting panorama (i.e. 18,000x5000 pixels which was more than enough), all three frames added as layers (left one on top, middle one in middle and right frame on bottom), frames reposition to approximate location in pano and then the middle and right frames were scaled to get matching size at the overlap point, location adjustment fine tuned to optimize fit, large soft-edged eraser tool used to remove right edges of top and middle frames layers to get a smooth overlap, a bit of cloning done to clean up some mall, rough transition areas, new layer created from visible result, image cropped to maximum size that fits inside the full image, sharpened, scaled to 4000 pixels high to obtain the working size I wanted for image prep intended for use online, added fine black and white frame, add bar and text on bottom, scaled to 4000 pixels wide for posting.
