Marsa Alam (o Marsà ‘Alam, in arabo مرسى علم) è stato fino a pochi anni fa un piccolo villaggio di pescatori situato in Egitto, sulla costa ovest del Mar Rosso.
Negli ultimi anni, a seguito dell'apertura dell'aeroporto internazionale (codice ICAO: HEMA, codice IATA: RMF) nel 2001, è cresciuto rapidamente fino a divenire una popolare destinazione turistica, come lo sono già Sharm el Sheikh e Hurghada.
Marsa Alam è situata in prossimità del Tropico del Cancro, dove il Mar Rosso incontra il deserto del Sahara, e si presenta ricca di palmeti e mangrovie, con un mare ricco di pesce per via della presenza della barriera corallina. Quest'ultima è molto rinomata tra i subacquei per via dei molti siti d'immersione ancora incontaminati, in cui si possono incontrare facilmente delfini (del genere stenella rostrata), dugongo e squali martello.

Marsa Alam (Arabic: مرسى علم) is a town in south-eastern Egypt, on the west coast of the Red Sea. It is currently seeing increasing popularity as a tourist destination and development including the opening of Marsa Alam Airport in 2001.
Marsa Alam is situated near the Tropic of Cancer where the Arabian Desert meets the Red Sea, and it has the appearance of a tropical paradise with its palm trees, mangroves and sea coasts fringed with barrier coral reefs. It has already gained a strong reputation amongst scuba divers due to its numerous and unspoilt diving sites both along the coast and offshore. Sightings of spinner dolphins, dugongs and hammerhead sharks are a frequent occurrence for those who venture into its waters.

Built between 1898 and 1930 as a sanatorium for lung diseases, Beelitz-Heilstätten was one of the largest hospitals in and around Berlin. It served as a field hospital in the two world wars and was later the Soviets' major military hospital in East Germany. Abandoned in 1994 with the Russian withdrawal, most buildings have slowly fallen into ruins since. What a shame.
This is a blend from 5 exposures (no HDR).
Composite image made from 10 exposures, using one Einstein 640 focused on different detail in each exposure, and then hand blended in Photoshop.
This is NOT an HDR image.
The road out of Lhasa was built along-side the Lhasa River. This is taken at one of our stop-and-pee spots. The seemingly calm lake made a perfect reflection of the sky and the far side snow mountain.
In the middle was some local fishermen fishing on a tiny boat.

Strobist training continues...
Strobist: 2 x 430EX, one on each side at 1/2 slightly behind models, one 580 EX II on camera right with silver umbrella at full power. Triggered with eBay triggers. Shot during the daylight in the shadows of the building though. I had some difficulties to beat sunlight with my speedlites, but made it eventually.
Photo is taken in front of the main gate of Finnish Defence Department in the middle of the day. There was plenty of traffic and I didn't have enough time to get perfect composition and lighting. It turned out pretty good though.
Works better in large. Please tell me what you think.
First step was to create a false background. I covered the back wall with a wallpaper texture, then duplicated the back wall and used free transform to distort it for the side wall. I created some parquet flooring in a separate document. First I filled a rectangle with the fibres filter to give me a wood texture, then duplicated the ‘plank’ and ran the fibers filter again, so as no to get a repeat texture. I did this a third time to make a square shape. Once the first square was finished it was duplicated three times and rotated to create a parquet floor tile. I then duplicated the tiles to make up a larger area. I copied the final floor texture back over to the original file and used free transform to resize it into place. Next step was the skirting boards. These are just white rectangles filled with some grey tone.
Next I masked around the man and corrected the hot spot on his leg. To hide the hot spot took two steps. Step 1 was duplicate the good knee then use free transform to distort it and move it over the problem area. I then masked off the areas of this duplicated knee to blend with the skin below. After masking I could still see the hot spot underneath. Step 2 was to create a new layer above the hot spot. Then select the clone tool and set it’s mode to darken, this setting will only effect the lighter areas in the hot spot when you start cloning. Set the sample mode to ‘current & below’. Reduce the opacity of the clone tool to about 10% and start cloning over the hot spot from areas that have the tone you desire. The idea is to build up the cloning gently. If you over do it you can always reduce the layers opacity with the slider. I then gave him a drop shadow.
At this point I was starting to struggle with the picture. I wasn’t happy with the result, it just didn’t look natural. So I resorted to the comic factor. I cut the cat out using the quick selection tool and free transformed him to the floor, then painted a drop shadow. The paw marks were created using the custom shape tool and transformed. I used the type tool to create the words fat cat, then distorted the type again using free transform.
Next I deleted the design of the shirt using the clone and patch tools. I created some shadows on the walls and floor using the dodge and burn tools. And finally added a note over the cat. The note is added in flickr. When you view a photograph, on the top left hand side of the photo is a little icon of a page with the words ‘add note’. Basically click on the icon add your message and move to an area on the photo.
Time taken: too long
Well I struggled with this challenge and I’m not really happy with the final result. From the beginning I didn’t like the photo, no matter what I did to it just looked false. I think I will come back to it again in few weeks and take a fresh look at it.
Und wieder eine weitere Serie an Bildern von meinem USA Urlaub Anfang des Jahres. Diesmal die "Las Vegas Edition".

Not a typical sunny shot....however this really captures the cold winter morning mood at FRA. With a 5am wakeup call, this was captured from an excellent Zeppelinheim spotting spot at 7:03am as NMB285 makes way to the gate inbound non-stop from Windhoek's Hosea Kutao Int'l.
