I post-processed a little more than I normally do, because the original (and natural) white balance was a little too cool, due to the overcast lighting under shade. The lighting was pretty soft (overcast day, late afternoon) that day, but I fine tuned tonal curve a little in Lightroom anyways, since I already post-processed the photo, might as well just do the whole nine yards.
Since you cannot take commerical photos in Villa Montalvo Art Center without permission, so I can't really sell this photo without getting a property release. Therefore, I didn't bother to shoot it on a tripod. It came out decent even without a tripod (though due to low light, I had to try several times).
If I shot it on a tripod, I guess I could push the aperture to f/8 and get a little more tree branches (and lichen detail) into focus. Though I still want the lower left branch getting out of the depth of field, so the viewer can tell it's twisting into the back.
Happy St Patrick's Day! "St Fiedeilme" begins the day with one of the countless(!) Aer Lingus flights into Heathrow.
Green and the month of March go together so well in my mind! I couldn't help myself, so I had to play with this photograph, in iPhoto.

Take a look at the image on a black backgorund
**************************
In one of my previous uploads I mentionned I was willing to send to the source files for further "experimentation". Morrismulvey was interested....and he sent me this result...it is a different style...that I like.
The stained glass in the back is better than in my image, it is less overexposed (remains difficult eventhough it is based on picture taken at EV -2; in another visit a few days later to another church I also took some images at EV -3...I hope it will work better).
What especially attracks me in the image of morrismulvey is the better detailled statues, take a look at the front left statue and you will see the text that is much more visible under the statue.
Thanks Clarence for an interesting exchange of thoughts and information. I really enjoyed it!

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.

C4
In 1938, Citroën introduced the Citroën Traction Avant in a "Commerciale"
version with a tailgate,
initially with a two-piece tailgate, of which the upper piece hinged upwards, cutting well into the roof, and after 1954 with a one-piece top-hinged hatchback.

As it's Valentine's Day tomorrow, for the group Music Monday, I've chosen a song that's not especially a favourite of mine, but it is a refreshingly cheerful song with loving lyrics and an upbeat tempo, despite it's title: Don't go breaking my heart ♫♪♫
Posted to the group 112 pictures in 2012 #86 Heart
Haddy, my youngest sister, made this wax heart with glass wings after the hearts that she and I painted on Toby's coffin. To me it's a very special and symbolic piece. It represents a soaring heart or free spirit, as well as love on so many levels: the love of a parent for a child, the love between siblings and friends, and romantic love.
Initially Haddy planned to make a heart of glass but wasn't sure how to attach it to the wings. When she showed me the glass wings and the wax heart, I thought wax was the perfect material for the heart: it looked softer and more organic than glass (it even melts slightly in hot weather). Haddy agreed, and so she used the wax mould as the heart.

Vesterålen is a district and archipelago in Nordland county, Norway. It is located just north of the Lofoten district and archipelago and west of the city of Harstad. It is the northernmost part of Nordland county and lies within the Arctic Circle (one of the five major circles of latitude that mark maps of the Earth). In 2012, it is the parallel of latitude that runs 66° 33′ 44″ (or 66.5622°) north of the Equator.
'DRP'
Portrait of a steel factory in Abu Dhabi. It wasn't easy to find an interesting composition with some purpose and order amidst this industrial chaos. I find it incredibly rewarding to spot a pattern when there seems to be non and capture it with camera.
Tech talk: I used Nikon 14-24 ultra-wide zoom on Canon 5Dmk2 and composed my frame by keeping the foreground elements as close as possible to the lens while using the arrangement of pipes to frame the DRP tower in the center.
I started by bracketing 9-stop exposure which was later processed into an HDR tone-mapped image with Oloneo PhotoEngine Pro. Late afternoon sun created very harsh contrasting scene, hence the 9-stop HDR. It was imperative to preserve all highlight and shadow details before proceeding onto BW conversion.
This is where the real work began; I removed the existing background with Perfect Mask Pro 5.2. This is probably one of the most complex masks I ever had to extract from an image. Getting a clean alpha channel between the tiny grates on the upper edge of the image was particularly cumbersome. It took me more than 3 hours to extract a mask which was clean enough for my purpose.
I created the motion blurred cloud by painting blobs of white colour and motion-blurring/radial blurring them in Photoshop. Once I was happy with the fake long exposure sky, I placed it below the transparent foreground image. Composite was clean and I was satisfied.
Last phase was the B/W conversion. I used Silver Efex Pro and placed the Red filter over the sky which turned all blues into solid blacks. Some of the pipes in the upper and side edges of the image were quite dark and they failed to contrast well enough with the black sky. I decided to create individual layers of clouds which I moved in strategic places in order to expose the pipes where bright background was needed in order to obtain a proper separation.
Careful tweaking of the sky took approximately 1 hour until I was happy with overall detailing and luminance.
Final grade was done with Topaz ReStyle. I opted for soft/sharp look where highlights give off a bit of exposure blooming while maintaining all details with surgical sharpness.
Additional image sharpening was performed with Nik Software Sharpener Pro which intelligently adds details where it's needed while keeping the noise at minimum level in areas with low detail.
