Makes me happy ♫♪♫ Unbelievably cheesy, I know, but true ...
Monday 11th May 2009
I am so relieved: today is the first day I haven't been completely munted after work. I'm going to try to upload two photos a day this week to make up for the photos I missed last week [at least that's my intention ...]. The wind chime at Toby's grave. I like the way the glass catches the setting sun. For Monday Blues and HappyMondYay! HMB everyone!!

Watch the Before-and-After Comparison and the "High-definition Making of..." video to see where this photo comes from!
The story of this photo:
Yesterday was my 1st birthday... not my real birthday, but my flickr birthday. On February 26th 2010, I created my pro account and started uploading photos. This last year was amazing for me. When I uploaded my first photos, I did not know what to expect, and of course initially nothing really happened. But gradually my contact list grew longer, and with every upload I found new flickr friends.
You give me so much support - thank you all so very much! I hope you will stay with me over the next 365 days.
To celebrate this day, I have prepared four things for you:
1. this photo
2. a before-and-after comparison
3. a making-of video
4. some numbers concerning my stream as a tribute to you, because you produced them
Enjoy!

Original Filename: DSC09051.JPG
Taken on Fomapan 100 with Zenit 12XP Helios 44M4.
Developed in Adox Rodinal 1+25 @ 4 min.
Postprocessed with The GIMP.
Gale force winds and huge waves over Black Rock this morning. I braved the weather to go and capture some half-marathon shots and I was amazed just how many runners there were. I gather more than 8K reached the finishing line. Champions, every one of them.
I found myself a wonderful bus shelter to stand under. I thought I was a champion just coming out in this weather.
Post-processed to the max.
My best (yes, I'm afraid it is) attempt to give this photo the feel of an old Chinese/Japanese painting.
And no, adding idiograms would not have looked authentic; it would have been crass. And I'd probably have said something rude without realising it, too..
"Oechsle" Schmalspurbahn - historical train.
Since the pictured needed sharpening, I used this time a different type of postprocessing :-)
Got up this morning in a playful mood (I love being retired) and was definitely thinking "out of the box" - picked up the Nikon and put on the 10-24, which I haven't done in a while. Sipped some coffee.
The light streaming through the windows invigorates. The sun was shining brilliantly, although the air was heavy with humidity, but it wasn't raining (yay) and the sky was void of cloud cover (rare the past month).
Shooting with a wide angle is fun! Hit the inside of the house first and then went outdoors, but those shots can wait for another day.
I kept the fun going with Photoshop... Five For Fun.
---------------------
Post processing was done the same on all images. Each is as framed and reduced to 180dpi from 300. No other images or color were added. Toning, saturation and filters were all used in the same order for each photo. Spot saturation and toning on each for finished results.

Someone on Formspring recently asked me to post up a shot of a Raw file and one that had my processing done to it so they could see the side by side difference.
On the left is the RAW file straight out of the camera. No crop or any editing done to it other than resize it so it would fit on here with the web version of the processed image you see on the right. I think its good to put these up about once a year just to keep things real......
Happy Waterfall Wednesday
Blender Light Bulb Tutorial (Take 1) - Put the donut lessons on hold and jumped into a tutorial for creating 3D light bulbs. Haven't finished it yet, but here is the result of today's effort (enhanced with a bit of postprocessing in Lightroom). Blender is way cool, and more than a bit of a time sink.

For Perfect Purple Saturday HPPS!
Taken with the Canon 450D using the 55-250mm lens, which is a wonderful visual aid - I can actually see birds in my garden!! Post processing: square cropped, layer of purple tint, erased lightly around the eye and pale feathers near the foot.
Wish fortune to smile on all of you :)
Ken Lewis...your words speak to hearts.Thank you my friend!
Wishes dream the future to life
each thought and sigh leaving its mark
on the moments not yet born,
and for those who see beyond
the surface of the moment
to the traces of all the nows
alive within the energy of our spirit,
the steps upon the path may be glimpsed
through the fog of today's skies
The future never arrives unless we live it today...

I'm behind on my reading, what else is new? When they arrive I quickly thumb through them, always intending to go back to each one when I have the time, but then another one arrives... Of course I found the time to over process this photo, several magazines at a time, running them through the filters in Photoshop, sometimes more than once, and then a couple of final hits in Aviary... HSS everyone!
What started as an exercise in photographing reflections in liquid, gave me an idea for a new set: Idioms. I've never really understood this saying, and to me it seems a bit dismissive, as though the cause of upset is not significant or valid enough to warrant the upset. Anyway - more weird sayings to come ...
Thanks to ASfotos for the beautiful texture
My first experiments in Tilt Shift Miniature Faking. The picture was not originally taken with this technique in mind, so the depth of field is not ideal. The result is not as miniaturesque as a typical tilt-shift fake, but I still like how it highlights the ferry in the middle.
This is the original image.
Want to learn how to do it? Here is a great tutorial.
This pink Dogwood tree is the apple of my eye this year! It stands at the end of our driveway, before parking, and we are so proud of how it has flourished this year!
After Sunday night, in addition to having incredible equipment problems, clouds started to come out in Cygnus, which somewhat thwarted my plans to photograph the Veil Nebula, I decided to shoot M31. Despite the problems, it was very enjoyable as always, but this time the bonus was that we met some great people who like astronomy. The new location (Tsari Mali Grad), turned out to be quite communicative and pleasant for observing.
Camera: Nikon D610 + Nikkor 300mm f4.5
ISO:3200
50x1min
Mount: Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer 2i
Postprocess: Siril, Starnet ++, Photoshop CC, Topaz Denoise

Photographed with a Canon Digital Rebel through a Kodak Duaflex at the Alameda County Fair in California.
More shots of this fairground ride.
I post processed this in Canon Digital Photo Professional to increase saturation and contrast.
We call these Chair-O-Planes in Ireland but I am not sure what they are called in the US. Wikipedia says they are also called swing carousels or wave swingers but I have never heard these terms
