After working for 2 hours with something that I wanted to look like a faded forest, I gave up, it wasn't my day, my head were spinning with too many other thoughts... So the forest was almost deleted and instead this person decided to appear, don't know how it will end.

These are some of my favorite presets. I have never purchased a preset in my life, I have fun making my own and have developed my own workflow. I have a preset for just about everything, low light, backlight, exposure, contrast, and so on! Each preset not only changes skin tone, but also changes the colors and contrast of the rest of the image, making it very fun to edit and process each image just the way I like it for the shot. One thing I never do or have done is touch my subjects face or eyes in any way. I do not go in and smooth skin or change eye colors and so fourth. The beauty of the subject is truly untouched in my images. I really do stick to the natural in natural light photography not just for lighting, but for facial features and so on! Here are a few I just wanted to share as I am working through this session :)

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.
A nice Sunday afternoon studio shooting session with FB.

*** 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.
The story behind
'Novitiate Nebula'
This quilt is made out of 80 different blocks from a variety of block of the months and quilt alongs that I participated in during 2012.
These include:
Sew Sweetness, New York Beauty Quilt Along - sewsweetness.com/2012/02/new-york-beauty-quilt-along.html
Canton Village Works - Blogger BOM: cvquiltworks.com/blogs/blog/12661573-today-is-the-day-the...
Jo's Country Juction Crumb Along: www.joscountryjunction.com/today-starts-the-crumb-quilt-c...
Breezy Beginner's Sampler from Quilt Gallery: mishkasplayground.com/learn-to-quilt-booklets/breezy-begi...
and a few blocks of y own.
I finally put this mish mash of blocks made from my scraps together into one cohesive quilt this year. I used a fabric that already had these cool patterned circles on it and cut it for the border.
I sent it to my aunt, Barb Raisbeck of Quilts by Barb for the long arm quilting. She used a flourescent orange thred to make these amazingly intricate swirl designs on the border and to emphasize the new york beauty block. Using a gray thread she did a rounded building block type design all over the rest of the quilt. It really is the perfect quilting solution to the crazy top I sent.
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!
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...

Saw this at a local garden on a visit with my son. It is an HDR image, and then crossed processed on Picnik.
After taking a little break from the whole graff thing, I came back with this. It is a sneak peak of a wall I am doing with Less and Smug. Finished shots to come soon enough.
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.
