just because……going thru my archives
Am not sure if I was using picmonkey for post processing. That was before I got disenchanted with their “improvements”
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..
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...
Ken Lewis

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.

This was a surprise at a car show at the Cleveland County Senior Citizen Center North of Shelby. The company lasted from 1945 to 1953, and they produced an interesting sports car, the Darrin. I layering and masking to blur the background.
WARNING! I snapped these photographs under duress by my husband.
I am terribly afraid of spiders of all kinds, yet my husband insisted I take these pictures and share them.
I have these red plastic trays that I use on my young tomato plants when I put them in the ground to help strengthen their root system. I was removing the spent plants and the trays from the garden the other day. When I turned the tray over to spray it off with the hose, I was surprised by this visitor.

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!
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.

This gorgeous very tiny bird is very difficult to photograph as it is kind of restless, hopping from branch to branch non-stop aside from being under the low-lighted tree. Out of 50 or so shots and an aching neck and arm ... I only managed to get a few good ones. This got to be it.
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!!
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 building was destroyed in WWII and has been an abandoned ruin ever since.

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
reprocessing old RAW files with current software. nikon coolpix 8700, processed in lightroom LR4 + photoshop CS6 + nik color efex + alienskin exposure 4.
I like seasides, I like mountains and cities in the sunsets but this place is so amazing... Just go and try this experience if you love to shoot in the nature :) Italy, Tuscany, San Quirico d'Orcia, sunrise. Postprocessing: LR CC, PS CC, NIK by Google.
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.
When I was taking the photograph the other day of the spider and its web in the wheelbarrow, my first shot was out of focus and all I got was a fuzzy shot of the inside of the wheelbarrow. I tried some Post Processing playing and got this cool map looking abstract, or whatever it is! Just liked it and wanted to share! 😍
I wish I could say I took this with my X-T1 which has a 1/32,000sec. electronic shutter, but this is just a simple, old-fashioned Photoshop composite...hehe! The truth is I've got several good (very sharp) images of the Egyptian goose taken with the 7D + EF 300mm L IS + EF 1.4 TC II that I didn't want to go to waste, so...
.
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.

Villa Visconti Borromeo Arese Litta è una villa storica, risalente al XVI secolo, situata nel comune di Lainate, specialmente famosa per il suo ninfeo.
L'intero complesso di Villa Litta fu ideato verso il 1585 da Pirro I Visconti Borromeo, che trasformò in luogo di delizie un possedimento fino ad allora impiegato per attività di produzione agricola.
Per il suo scopo Pirro I, mecenate milanese dotato di vasta cultura e di molteplici interessi, si avvalse della collaborazione dei migliori artisti di area lombarda, tra i quali l'architetto Martino Bassi, gli scultori Francesco Brambilla il Giovane e Marco Antonio Prestinari, i pittori Camillo Procaccini e Pier Francesco Mazzucchelli detto il Morazzone.
Oltre ai lavori di sistemazione architettonica del palazzo, Pirro impostò il giardino lungo l'asse di penetrazione da sud verso nord, interrotto ortogonalmente dall'edificio del ninfeo e culminante a settentrione in un'esedra.
Il ninfeo o "edificio di frescura", suggestivo complesso architettonico costituito da una successione di ambienti decorati a mosaico e con grotte artificiali, destinato ad accogliere la cospicua collezione museale del conte, è considerato uno degli esempi più importanti in Italia Settentrionale per la ricchezza delle decorazioni e la varietà dei giochi d'acqua: il sofisticato impianto di questi ultimi, azionato dalla meccanica di un pozzo, è ancora oggi messo in funzione, per la gioia dei visitatori, nelle serate d'estate.
