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.

2016-05-14: WB adjusted (with aviary) to remove an apparent magenta tint when viewing from an uncalibrated Ubuntu 16.04 display. Need to re-calibrate ASAP.
2016-06-09: WB adjusted even more towards "warm", as it still looked magenta-ish.

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.
Picture by me, postprocessing by theunderstudy, who, by his capable mastery of contrasts and definition, gave the original picture a wonderful boost and loads of character. Don't you just smell the charcoal? Please join me in a round of applause for theunderstudy! [followed by the sound of clapping]
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).
Experimenting with postprocessing special effects this evening, and this one is using a colored pencil sketch effect.
In this photo the 1904 steam yatch MEDEA sits next to the Victorian era 1898 steam ferry BERKELEY on the San Diego waterfront, part of the historic ships exhibited by the San Diego Maritime Museum. The elegant MEDEA has been restored to her original glory. The BERKELEY ferry used to carry passengers across the San Francisco Bay. (Prior to the building of the Golden Gate Bridge, my grandmother used to work a concession stand on a ferry boat which ran between Sausalito and San Francisco...I wonder if it was this one?)
MORE INFORMATION ON THE BERKELEY FERRY:
The Berkeley was one of several ferryboats of the Southern Pacific Railroad that operated on San Francisco Bay between the Oakland Pier and the San Francisco Ferry Building for sixty years. Built in 1898 by the Union Iron Works of San Francisco, she served after the 1906 earthquake, ferrying refugees across the bay to Oakland.
The Berkeley was in regular service from 1898 to the spring of 1958, when she was taken out of service for repairs. She never returned to service as Southern Pacific decided to end all ferry service on July 29, 1958. The Berkeley was put up for sale, and was purchased by the Golden Gate Fishing Company to be used as a whaling processing facility. Before it was put to this use, however, it was sold to ferryboat enthusiast and businessman Bill Conover. Conover had the Berkeley docked in Sausalito, a small town on the Bay in Marin County and converted it into a gift shop called "Trade Fair". However, the Berkeley was not well-maintained in its gift shop incarnation and 12 years of serious deterioration took a toll. In 1973, she was sold to the Maritime Museum of San Diego. She was towed out of San Francisco Bay by tug on May 31, 1973 arriving 3 days later in San Diego where she was subsequently restored. She currently serves as the main "building" of the Maritime Museum of San Diego.
The Berkeley was notable for having been the first propeller-driven ferry on the west coast. At the time of its launching on October 18, 1898, it became the largest commuter ferryboat in the United States with a 1700 passenger capacity. It was also remarkable for being one of the earliest ferries to be powered by a triple-expansion steam engine.
The Berkeley was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1990 and California State Historical Landmark No. 1031 in 2000.

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.

Coming home from the vet. He got his stitches removed from the huge incision on his back where he had to have surgery.
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.

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.
