Wonderful rendering of colors with delicate sharpness. Lumix 12-35 II is a great lens that feels more like a prime. That depth it gives as you go into the center is pretty awesome, isn't it? Looks like we are going into a cave. But the outer petals really do steal the show, don't they? Some golden hour awesomeness 😊
In this months Kaizen #59 there was an interesting tutorial using photos of architecture. I haven't finished that yet but did a project first using my personal approach to this idea. All of these elements are from itKuPiLLi, one of the best of the contributors to the program. I call this Renaissance Architecture Rendering. Enjoy!
Out with Kevin on Sunday morning for some early shooting. A painterly rendering with motion blur with the shadow/light forest view!

Explore #1 - 20071017....wow, thanks everyone
We got mountains too.
Bit of HDR fog in the mountains. My HDR rendering is usually very subtle but here I liked the blueish effect
Ok....my first sketches are always rough, just playing with an idea. I refine it a little bit before I start the rendering. Then on tracing paper I very lightly will start with a single center line to use as a reference. I also draw a center line on my rough sketch to compare. The rough sketches are just a tad bigger than actual size but the rendering will be at least 3 to four times actual size. All first lines are drawn as lightly as possible.....and with a .3mm pencil that I keep fine sanded to a needlepoint. I use an eraser shield and an eraser a lot....but try to draw lines only once (ha!). I use a compass whenever a clean large circle or an arc is called for. I use plastic templates for smaller circles or arcs. I use a steel straight edge and have several french curves on hand. I try and keep my grubby, oily hands off the paper by covering areas already drawn with another sheet of clean paper. When all the lines are lightly drawn just the way I want them, I erase whatever extra marks I can find and air blast the residue off. Then I darken all the lines. Then I shade it. Then I hit the whole thing with the eraser again, and air blast it. Then I apply a very light spray of "Aussie Instant Freeze" hair spray. Now it's time to paint the back. With fine sable brushes I first paint only the areas which are "gold", being very careful not to go outside the lines, hee hee! Dry it thoroughly. Then I rather sloppily apply the other colors quickly so as not to disturb the gold layer. Dry thoroughly. For this job I then also returned to the front and applied tiny smudges (without any rubbing or blending) of a day-glo green oil pastel to the green stones for highlights and green, orange and a little blue for the opal's play of color. For this back-painted rendering to be successful, you must use at least tracing paper......but vellum is uber nice! From there on it's photoshop for color-enhancement and more cleanup. But the images above are how far I get by hand.

**Prompt :**
Gros plan cinématographique ultra détaillé d’un visage féminin au réalisme saisissant, éclairage doux et diffus de type studio, peau porcelaine parsemée de légères taches de rousseur naturelles, texture de peau visible avec micro-détails (pores, reflets subtils, imperfections authentiques). Regard intense et hypnotique, yeux iridescents aux teintes turquoise et violet, avec reflets lumineux complexes simulant une profondeur presque surnaturelle, pupilles nettes, humidité oculaire réaliste.
Chevelure longue et volumineuse séparée en deux teintes distinctes : côté gauche rose pastel dégradé vers un rose plus saturé, côté droit bleu cyan évoluant vers un bleu profond, fibres capillaires finement détaillées, mèches légèrement en mouvement comme animées par une brise imperceptible. Éclairage colorimétrique contrasté renforçant la dualité chromatique, avec rim light subtil sur les contours des cheveux.
Maquillage artistique mais crédible : fard à paupières vibrant assorti aux cheveux, dégradés complexes, eyeliner précis, mascara détaillant chaque cil, lèvres légèrement brillantes avec texture humide réaliste. Expression neutre mais captivante, entre douceur et mystère.
Accessoire : collier métallique avec chaîne épaisse et plaque type militaire, rendu métallique réaliste avec micro-rayures, réflexion HDR environnementale.
Arrière-plan flou (bokeh) gris neutre, profondeur de champ très faible (objectif 85mm f/1.4), mise au point chirurgicale sur les yeux. Color grading cinématographique, style photographie éditoriale haut de gamme, rendu 8K, ultra net, global illumination, subsurface scattering sur la peau, rendu photoréaliste proche d’un portrait capturé avec une caméra plein format.
Ambiance visuelle : mélange de mode contemporaine et d’esthétique néo-fantastique, équilibre entre réalisme brut et aura presque irréelle.

**Prompt:**
Ultra-detailed cinematic close-up of a female face with striking hyperrealism, soft diffused studio lighting, porcelain skin with subtle natural freckles, visible skin texture including pores, fine highlights, and authentic imperfections. Intense, mesmerizing gaze, iridescent eyes blending turquoise and violet tones, with complex light reflections creating an almost supernatural depth, sharp pupils, realistic eye moisture.
Long, voluminous hair split into two distinct tones: left side in pastel pink transitioning into a richer pink, right side in cyan evolving into deep blue. Individual hair strands finely rendered, slight natural movement as if touched by a gentle breeze. Color-contrasting lighting enhancing the dual-tone effect, subtle rim light outlining the hair.
Artistic yet believable makeup: vibrant eyeshadow matching the hair tones with smooth gradients, precise eyeliner, defined lashes with high-detail mascara, slightly glossy lips with realistic moisture texture. Neutral yet captivating expression, balancing softness and mystery.
Accessory: metallic chain necklace with a military-style dog tag, highly realistic material rendering with micro-scratches and HDR environmental reflections.
Background softly blurred with neutral gray bokeh, very shallow depth of field (85mm lens, f/1.4), razor-sharp focus on the eyes. Cinematic color grading, high-end editorial photography style, 8K resolution, ultra-sharp, global illumination, subsurface scattering on skin, photorealistic rendering comparable to a full-frame camera capture.
Visual mood: fusion of contemporary fashion and neo-fantasy aesthetic, balancing raw realism with an almost otherworldly aura.

Hello everyone! Just per usual, another room I've put together... Soon I'll be finishing up with a client project so I'll post those rooms up sometime next week.
I was jamming to this tune while creating this scene - www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvmKxDcO8vU
Another sneak peek of the cafe and bakery building I'm working on. Computer rendering but only existing bricks/colors were used.
Temporary post, Taken wide open (f/3.5), handheld at 1:4 Macro at 200mm. Surprisingly good lens for a $5.00 Goodwill find. A little soft wide open and at 200mm but sharpens up at wider F/L and gets pretty sharp at f/8. Bokeh and out of focus rendering is a little funky but unique. Fair to good color saturation.
Some trees and garden shrubs mark the boundaries of former residential properties in the New Brighton Red Zone, one of several areas where earthquake induced liquefaction destroyed many thousands of homes in Christchurch, New Zealand. Affected properties have been replaced with grassland that is slowly being rebirthed into community parklands.

In optics, a caustic or caustic network is the envelope of light rays reflected or refracted by a curved surface or object, or the projection of that envelope of rays on another surface. The caustic is a curve or surface to which each of the light rays is tangent, defining a boundary of an envelope of rays as a curve of concentrated light.

When the photo is not good you can make a painting of it, possibilities are endless
Thanks for the visit have all a nice day
So I have no idea why these DBG backgrounds are looking like doo-doo. I took Matt's advice and reset POV-Ray to initial settings, and it is still looking like this. All white, LBG, and tan look fine, most of the time. But the darker background looks BAD. Anyone have any suggestions?

Looking over downtown Whitehorse about an hour before sunrise on a December morning. It was -17C where I was standing on the hill taking this photo. Later, I went into the valley to photograph closer to Schwatka Lake, and the temperature fell to -21C. Still, it was a beautiful morning. The sunrise glow just past Grey Mountain to the east, just got better and better, but by the time I finished this panorama, I was ready to try a new location.
This photo is comprised of 42 Portrait oriented exposures stitched together in Adobe Lightroom Classic 12. The resulting image encompasses approximately 170 degree field of view from left to right, and was shot about an hour before actual sunrise.
The original photos were taken with the Canon EOS R and RF 24-105mm f/4.0L. I had the camera mounted to a portable tripod which I carefully levelled prior to beginning the series of exposures that were sewn in Adobe Lightroom to make this image.
I reprocessed local and global adjustments in December of 2025 to improve on the end result somewhat. I feel that this is a better rendering than my original from 2022.
