Creepy old crematorium that is now abandoned, light was leaving us fast so we had to be quick. Looking at the sketchy history of this place on the internet, over 100,000 bodies were processed through this crematorium. We visited and the undergrowth was really coming through. A good end to a great day.
Another month, another tour. The Benzine tour no doubt on the name. On tour with Camerashy, Wiffsmiff23 and FlashandBlur. Countless hours driving, some iconic places visited and efficient Police and Security encountered and hid from. Not to mention lots of places sealed, trashed or locked down.

The more I tweak this project, the more I love it. Through controlled accidents, I got it to look rather Nebular. I will continue tinkering and if all goes well, soon I will have an audio-responsive universe!
Read about it here. There is a short video too!
*** For all those do-it-yourself-at-home kids......Never never never!!! wad ALL the hair up into one knot or bun on top of your head if you're using 30vol/high lift, or bleach. The process of lifting creates A LOT of heat, and that will build up inside the 'bun' causing excessive damage, and possibly even burning the scalp. If you're wondering why the hair on your crown is melting??? That's why. Split it into smaller sections so that air can circulate.
I find drawing posed pictures straight onto the computer pretty horrible. There are too many choices, and the slick feel of the tablet leads to hasty, speculative strokes that go nowhere. I prefer to render a sketch in ballpoint pen then work it up.

Over troubled waters memories soar
Endlessly, searching night and day
The moonlight caresses a lonely hill
With the calmness of a whisper
I wear a naked soul
A blank face in the streaming water
It is cold in here
Frost scar my coat with dust...

Here is a sample of what, after a decent bit of work, I am able to get out of the Microtek i700 with a 4x5 slide.
Please view at original size for the intended sample!
The process involves a few steps - some of them because I am using Silverfast SE, which only scans to 24-bit RGB.
First I scan after modding the levels using the Silverfast Histogram to truncate the flat ends of the histogram. I use 'medium' USM when scanning.
Then after imported into photoshop, I convert to 48 bit, then export each channel as a 16 bit greyscale image.
I run each greyscale through Neat Image to minimise noise - this has the added effect of 'rebuilding' some tonal detail by averaging pixels interpreted as noise and resampling that average back into the image.
After noise reduction I open each of the processed greyscales in photoshop and run another tone adjustment using the levels tool, slicing off the low end until the blacks are black, and the whites are bright.
I then run a Smart Sharpen on each of the greyscales, using Lens Blur.
After that, I recombine the image, copying each greyscale image into its appropriate channel in the RGB image.
I then run more curves / levels adjustment, colour enhancements, and a manual clone touchup to remove any dust marks I find.
Finally, I run an appropriate USM on the final image, and resize for output. I may run an additional minor USM on the resulting resize as well, depending on whether it needs it.
An opportunity to shamelessly mention "Flora & the Prince", the brand new oratorio I've been writing for Dundee University, and which will be premiered in Dundee on 12th March! The first performance of the complete new piece will be recorded.
Saw this at a local garden on a visit with my son. It is an HDR image, and then crossed processed on Picnik.

Near the end of the summer, I was asked by the publishers of Popular Science magazine to produce a visualization piece that explored the archive of their publication. PopSci has a history that spans almost 140 years, so I knew there would be plenty of material to draw from. Working with Mark Hansen, I ended up making a graphic that showed how different technical and cultural terms have come in and out of use in the magazine since it's inception.
I never posted this, but it's on my list to post, but instead of adding yet another old photograph I thought I would share what I did to it with my Soft Pink Afternoon Glow preset before I uploaded it...
This was when it was quite a bit warmer... ah, I wish winter clothes were more colourful, all this black, grey and brown is boring!! Can someone invent colourful winter clothes? Pleeeeease!
