Right.....where did we get to with the history lesson? Ah yes, descendants of the Lewknors owned the castle until at least the 16th century, (see previous photo for early history of Bodiam).
By the start of the English Civil War in 1641, the Castle was in the possession of John Tufton. He supported the Royalist cause, and sold it to help pay fines levied against him by Parliament. The castle was subsequently dismantled, and was left as a picturesque ruin until its purchase by John Fuller in 1829. Under his auspices, it was partially restored before being sold to George Cubitt, 1st Baron Ashcombe, and later to Lord Curzon, both of whom undertook further restoration work.
The castle is protected as a Grade I listed building and Scheduled Monument. It has been owned by The National Trust since 1925, donated by Lord Curzon on his death, and is open to the public.

A view from the Eravikulam National Park, Munnar, Kerala.
Each year around May time I have another go at taking this subject. I keep aiming for something better and, gradually, I think I’m improving (in stark contrast to some of the other photography I do lol).
This is one of the better ones from a couple of years ago. I processed it several ways one time when I was on holiday working from the raw file using Affinity on the iPad. That means I didn’t use any external plugins or filters.,
The set has rather mouldered away since then but I thought it would be a quick and easy one for Sliders Sunday today. I often think that. I’m usually wrong as was the case here…
I clearly had fun, though, at the time. I seem to have used all sorts of things: inversion, gradient maps, mirroring, layer blending, HSL adjustments, ripple filters, and even the affine filter (which takes a source layer and makes multiple copies of it - see some of them with patterns of diagonal dots). Some of these versions build on others.
In the end, the Affinity file was over one and a half gigabytes (all the variants were in one file, a couple of dozen layers). Amazingly the iPad didn’t bat an eyelid - I only noticed when I came to copy the file back to the desktop for some final exports from Affinity.
I’ll post one of the variants in Sliders Sunday and add a link to the in-camera original in the first comment. One of the variants is a “proper” version which forms the basis for the others.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Sliders Sunday :)
This little Azalea blossom has been processed with a plugin from Redfield called Fractalius ONE!!! Happy Sliders Sunday, Everybody!!

Clicked after a steep climb up the elephant trail to reach the view point at Gavi. The area covered in mist in the distance is where the famous Mullaperiyar Dam is situated.
The Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory is operated by the Smithsonian in SE Arizona located near Amado on top of Mount Hopkins. You can see a car driving up to the observatory and just make out the observatory on Hopkins center left (the highest peak in the frame). For best wonderment results, please view large in the lightbox! ;-)))
Image Notes: This is a stacked star trails image. I used 81 26 second shots at 2500 ISO, F/2.8 at 16 mm taken with my Nikon D700 on my 11-16 Tokina. Three dark frames were taken and three separate shots were exposed to bring out the foreground via light-painting and longer exposure. A bit of diffraction/star burst was added to the N. Star/Polaris via Pro Digital's StarSpikes plugin.
"Wetlands are nature’s gift to humanity and we must realize their importance before it’s too late."
~ Anon
The wetlands control water levels by taking in the water when the water levels are high and by releasing the water when the water levels are low. Wetland biodiversity matters for flood and drought protection, water quality and supply, climate adaptation, and more. They provide water storage, wild habitat, reduce the impact of floods, elimination of nutrients and help fight climate change. Help protect wetlands.

I've been to Brugge a few times now and have got to know many of the famous haunts. This spot is a Mecca for tourists and photographers alike with the dog leg in the canal, the ornate brick buildings and the towering Belfry in the background.
We were on my cycling clubs spring tour; Brugge is a short hop over the English Channel for us, (two hours by ferry), and a 65 mile bike ride. Lucky enough we had a car and a van for backup so I was able stow some of my photographic kit.
Late one night I was able to extricate myself from the usual socialising and leg it to this spot approximately a mile from our hotel. Thankfully most of the tourists, (yes I know I'm one), had left the city or were tucked away in their hotels for the evening. Blue hour was coming to an end and thankfully the canal was mirror calm. The huge tungsten lights gave the scene a surreal quality with their orange glow which allowed me to capture this gorgeous night scene.
7 exposure, tripod mounted hdr -3 - +3. Nikon D700 with 16 - 35 f4 vr @ 22mm. ISO 800, exposure 1/5 - 25 sec at f9. Post processing via adobe camera raw, photomatix, & photoshop with topaz clarity and de noise plugins. I really had to mess around with the pp to try and remove banding in the blue sky. Anyone ever come across this problem?

The district of Wayanad in Kerala is set high on the Western Ghats with altitudes ranging from 700 to 2100 meters. Such sights are commonplace here with winding roads surrounded by verdant forests. The well maintained roads and lovely scenery makes it a pleasurable place to visit every once in a while.
Pictured here is a close-up shot of London’s all too famous clock tower -- home to the great bell Big Ben. This view was captured looking towards the Palace of Westminster from the south bank of the River Thames.

" Night Falls on the Clock Tower" is an HDR image constructed from 3 separate shots, with a differential of 2 stops between images.
The resulting HDR image was processed using a combination of ACR, Photomatix, and Photoshop (includes the use of Topaz Labs plugins -- Adjust, Clarity, Clean, Denoise, Glow & LensFX).

On a semi regular basis flickr/LR uploader changes the privacy of the pictures to private. I was recommended not to use LR plugin and I tried it. Anyone who has a fix for this, because i tend to use the LR uploader, even i know there is a problem.
Inspired by the scimitar swords in the coat of arms of Qatar, the building rises 36 stories to a height of 211 meters in Lusail, Qatar
Architect: Kling Consult (est. 2022)
Part of a series of 29 fine art photos on modern architecture in Qatar commissioned by Qatar Tourism, taken earlier in 2022. This series of 29 photographs is being exhibited right now in the M7 museum in Doha, Qatar. What you will see as the series of 29 unfolds in the next weeks, is that there’s a strong connection between the architect’s design and its environmental and cultural context. I’ve tried to celebrate the architect’s design through my interpretation of it in relation to its environment. The tonal composition has been carefully designed to give visual weight to the architectural structures and pronounce their forms, while the material and spatial composition (object and space selection and arrangements) enhances the visual energy of the structures as they are juxtaposed to the serenity of the (back)grounds. A serenity that is inspired by the characteristics of a desert area. All 29 photos have been photographed and processed in roughly 3.5 months only using the B&W Artisan Pro panel to speed up the process and increase accuracy.
If you happen to be in the area: the exhibition at the M7 museum in Doha runs till January 2023 and is on the 2nd floor. Printed on Fujifilm Crystal Archive Pearl (Metallic C-Type), with Diasec Classic by DifoArt in the size of 150x100cm (60x40 inches)

Thought I'd share another of my recent portraits of our pup Bailey. I've always wanted to do a portrait of her against a black backdrop, and this was the result of my first attempt. I'll probably give it another go, but I still liked the way this one turned out. Hope you do as well.

This bird sanctuary in the Mandya District of the state of Karnataka in India is 40 acres (16 ha) in area, and comprises six islets on the banks of the Kaveri river. The sanctuary has been designated as a protected Ramsar site since 2022. Ramsar sites are wetland sites designated to be of international importance under the Ramsar Convention, also known as "The Convention on Wetlands", an intergovernmental environmental treaty established in 1971 by UNESCO, which came into force in 1975. Roughly 170 bird species have been recorded at this site and as many as 40,000 birds congregate during winter months starting from mid-December. Also the islands are host to numerous small mammals including the Bonnet Macaque, Smooth Coated Otter, colonies of Flying Fox and common small mammals such as Common Palm Civet and Indian Gray Mongoose. Additionally, there is a population of Monitor Lizards and Mugger Crocodiles.

As the light of another fiery sunset faded over the San Pablo Bay in northern California, the lights on the oil refinery's pier became visible, signaling the onset of night. A tugboat and its wake can be seen in this shot rounding the dock at the end of the pier while Mount Tam, as the locals call it, looms in the background. This is a colorized version of the original, which was created using Color Efex Pro, a plugin from the Google Nik Collection.
