One of Kentucky's finest catholic churches, though it's aesthetic rival is a few blocks away - the regional basilica.

Silo City has become a hub for musicians and artists of all sorts.

Back to Pittsburgh today for this shot of the Roberto Clemente Bridge. I took this one a snoy morning in downtown Pittsburgh in early January, where there was really no one else out and about.

 

Original size

 

As always, you can read about the processing I've done on this shot and all my images on on my website.

I wonder what you see

when you look at me

How much is distorted reality

Glimpses of your last girlfriend

Memories of a forgotten mother

Fragments of a future me

But how much of what you see is

unfiltered and unromanticized

The mundaneness of me

Can you take a moment

and look through the distortions

and tell me what you are able to see

I wonder what you see

and how much of it is me

Today was a day of not much light and lots of bare trees :)

Sony A850

Vivitar 19-35mm lens

PerfectEffects 8

I saw this fella from afar, with exceedingly dodgy flooring between us. However, I persevered, found a way to get to this old-timey machine and it proudly posed for some pics.

Replacement of an accidentally removed picture! (be careful with the android app!) I also choose an other picture. This one is edited with PerfectEffects: applied filters: little warmth, natural HDR, that's all.

This was taken a couple months back during Photoshop World in Las Vegas. On our way to drop off Verent (one of RRS’s engineers) 500px.com/verent at the airport we noticed the Vegas sky was BLOWING UP. We said a very quick goodbye and sped up to the parking structure. I was pretty amazed we didn’t catch any grief from the security guard as we rushed by with tripods in hand. I guess we looked innocent enough and our saying, “We’ll only be a couple minutes,” (when we really meant a good hour or so…) was all the cushion we needed to wait for the good light.

 

This is the owner of Really Right Stuff, LLC, Joe Johnson, shooting brackets on his custom, wood finished TVC-33 Tripod. reallyrightstuff.com/ProductDesc.aspx?code=TVC-33&typ... ---- CLICK HERE for tripod details (wood finish not available)

 

Check out Joe’s fantastic photography: www.flickr.com/photos/reallyrightstuff/

For not knowing I was doing a bracket series of him he sure stayed pretty still composing his shot.

 

For the best shot of the night check out Joe Johnson, Jr.’s HDR pano of the skyline: 500px.com/photo/2889424

 

All and all a great trip, solid learning experience and one of the better nights of shooting I’ve had.

 

This set of 3 brackets went through Photomatix 4.1, Lightroom 3, Nik Color Efex Pro 3, Viveza and OnOne’s Perfect PhotoSuite6. That sounds like a ton but bringing all the layers into OnOne makes the whole process so fast.

 

Thanks for looking!

 

Zwischen 11 und 3 hat der Fotograf frei ... aber dafür geht's eigentlich :-)

The size of this mosque is so incredible.

 

Also, the photo is a little over-baked but I kind of like it. ;-)

This was taken a little over a month ago when my buddy Cameron (check out his work: www.flickr.com/photos/cameronmaier/ ) was out visiting. We spent the day at Mickey’s Beach—he climbed, I’m fat. The sunset was gorgeous and the clouds were FLYING by. I really need a do over on this one but I liked the composition enough to try salvaging this multi-long exposure HDR image. Take it or leave it.

 

Regardless thanks for looking!

 

A horizontal crop of a vertical shot, I lightpainted this exclusively as it was in near pitch black, but for a small window upper right.

Earlier in the year, the sun was able to directly strike this iron grid, illuminating the green glass held within. I've attempted to shoot this since, but without the sun's help as its declination no longer allows it to strike the grid. And why glass??

A famous dome above the patient dining area of this 100+ year old hospital.

An old road passes trees in on the Nisqually River Delta.

 

Perfect Effects acid wash frame

Probably by scrappers.

Think this might be the last one from the Rockie Mountain Storm series of 2004.

Captured with Olympus 2100uz Ultra Zoom point and shoot.

 

A little pano, hand created from 2 images in Photoshop, using adjustment layers and masks. Plugins from Nik and then converted to back and white in Perfect Effects with one final some curves adjustments.

 

Love Locks in Covent Garden, supporting the British Heart Foundation.

I took this shot when I was waiting for few friends nearby the AMS central station. It is a HDR composition converted then in B/W.

Comments welcomed

Just a little fun with an iPhone shot of my sister, son and grandson....errr, I mean my sister and power rangers...

 

Processed with Lr, PPS 9.5 and a Photomorphis preset....

I was with my kids in Amsterdam trade center area for a Pixar show. I took the photo with my iPhone and I wanted to convert to B/W since the beginning. I loved the pattern of the stairs and the reflection on the glass windows. The monochrome conversion on high contrast makes a good work between the dark and light area on the capture.

Comments welcomed

The ubiquitous Toledo industrial scale found in this abandoned distillery.

I made this picture this spring, 2018. April is the month of the Dutch national pride, the flowers. The colour have been saturated and I sharpened the flower field. I reworked the sky at sun-set. You can see some noise due the 800 ISO. Comments welcomed.

Well, it took a few weeks, but we finally have some snow in Pittsburgh! I was out and about last night to get some shots and I definitely have a new favorite set of photographs of the Pittsburgh skyline! I made it up to the Duquesne Incline just as the snow started and you couldn't even see the city for about five minutes! Head on over to my blog to see the rest of the shots!

 

As always, you can read about the processing I've done on this shot and all my images on on my website.

 

New blog post today, Clearing up! Check it out if you have a chance!

 

I hope that you all have a great week!

 

I don't mind invitations, but please no big, shiny, flashing, glitter graphics, they will be deleted. Also, please contact me if you would like to use my pictures for any reason, as all rights are reserved. Thanks!

Den Haag, this is the new ceiling of DH Central Station.

Party at my house and my daughter asked my wife to buy this!!! I prefer "Komt tijd, ko...."

I made this picture to test wether the Yongnuo flash yn565ex is compatible with my Yongnuo flash triggers, because my good 'old' Metz flash apparently isn't. The flash is placed on the right side behind the bottles.

This version of the picture is realized by a 2-click-edit in onOne's Perfect Effects.... too easy :)

Embossed on a large old gear.

The Franklin Brewing Company building is located in the Boston neighborhood of Jamaica Plain. It was an active brewery from 1894 until the start of Prohibition in 1918. It has since been used as a storage facility. An architectural beauty, its arches are designed to make the building appear symmetrical, when it is not in fact so.

 

I took this picture a few years ago, originally posting it as a B&W. Went back to the original creating this color version using Corel Paintshop Pro x8 and Perfect Effects 9.5.
