Again, the scene is the medieval castle of Berkhamsted, or what is left of it, and, to the left, the gatehouse of 1865. What I am experimenting with is "sky replacement". The actual sky was boring and featureless. Now, is this an editorial 'emergency' that entitles you to take drastic steps to 'improve' the image? I wonder what people feel about it.

Here is a photo from the archives that I may have never of posted if not for the new Photoshop "sky replacement" tool. The sky in this plane photo before the sky replacement was a very boring light blue sky. My kids got me a years subscription to the online photoshop and just getting around to see what it has to offer. This is my first attempt and there are some adjustments that I still have to learn.
I feel a little "dirty" replacing a sky in one of my photos, never really done that before. In doing this it brings a lot of questions to my photo and photography in general.
Should replacing a sky even be allowed and still call it a photo or is it now more a piece if art?
In the future do I need to acknowledge that the sky was replaced in a photo or say nothing? If I take and post a photo that has an amazing sky do I need now to say that the sky was not replaced?
Is it OK to use someone else skies in your photo or just use one that you created? This is my own sky shot in this photo.
Please give me you opinion in the comments below.
Thanks and have a great Sunday!!
I was very excited today to try the new sky replacement tool in Photoshop. This is an image I took in Iceland which had a very dull gray sky. With very little effort, I was able to replace the sky with a more interesting one.
The new tool is very powerful and has features I have yet to learn for minimizing halo's at the horizon.
Hardly been out at all in the last month - seeking for inspiration...not sure ive quite found it,
Anyways, heres one from Hopton.
For a bit of fun, the same photo as the previous one but with Luminar 4 sky replacement. I prefer to keep my skies original, but thought this a good one to experiment with.
After our Dolomites hike last September, we spent four nights in Venice, staying in the Cannaregio area. On our first night not far from where we were staying.
I process my photos with Lightroom as well as Skylum's Luminar and find it easy to use with great results. Here is a link if anyone is interested in trying it out and with a $US10 discount: skylum.grsm.io/janetteasche8660

This is one of the last occasions C classes will operate the Crawfords train for Sydney Rail Services with introduction of replacement C44aci locomotives, the PHC class, imminent.
“Replacement Bus Service”. Those three dreaded words you never want to hear when you’re on the train in Britain and the railway is subject to weekend engineering works. There’s a replacement bus needed here. But I wonder why there was a bus service at all on a road that went to nowhere.

Westbound night gas blast through ESS Frenchtown at full track speed continuing to Thomson Falls. Frenchtown siding was the first siding to get the new Safetran Vader replacements installed on the MRL 4th Sub. Only 4 days after this photo was taken the MRL SD70Aces were taken off of the gas local and never returned. Now this local uses SD70Macs and SD75Is. I bet one day it'll eventually be ES44s like everything else.
R2-D2 the replacement the gentleman in charge told me to the lighthouse where we could climb and view the scene. This doesn't have the same power as the original lighthouse, however, the latest GPS helps larger ships to navigate through the narrow passage.

Did you ever have one of those days... where the nose piece from your eyeglasses falls into your hand? That was how (my) last Friday started... LOL...
Well, maybe my vision is not this bad... but, without wearing my glasses, there are times when looking at things is becoming a challenge!

These two are pretty good. Don't eat or need heat, shots, licenses, tags and don't use litter. Don't claw furniture. They don't play either. But they fill a void for now.
The little calico came from a lady named Jane Boyle from Princeton Telecommunications in NJ and neither of us remembers where the orange ceramic tabby came from but he has piercing green eyes.

Two from Brentor church which sits on top of a tor on the edge of Dartmoor; the views are amazing. The benches had seen better days and both had the same sign attached to them.
These benches are a necessity after a hard climb up to the church.
HBM!
Ancoats, Manchester
A first proper outing with me ol’ mucker – Eddie ‘Rainman’ Coulson of 2021 and the chance to post something not from the last decade. We’ve both been dabbling in Etsy in recent months and decided to go and shoot some of Manchester’s historic landmarks with the view to printing some of them. I must confess I’ve never been to this part of town and initially made straight for Anita Street, which has an interesting history going back to the Industrial Revolution, but I’ll write about that in another posting. Sankey’s is further afield and quite a well-known landmark, but if you didn’t know where it was you could spend hours walking around this part of town and never spot it.
Luckily, Eddie knows the area well and pointed me in the right direction. The weather on Friday was glorious and sunny, but not a cloud in sight, so you’ll have to forgive me with this subtle replacement sky. So good to be out and about again and shooting some new material.
It has quite an history as a nightclub… here’s a condensed summary
Sankeys first opened in Manchester as "Sankeys Soap" in June 1994. It was so called due to its residence inside Beehive Mill, Ancoats, which once was used to manufacture soap. The basement of the mill was transformed into a club and live music venue by Andy Spiro and Rupert Campell. After nearly going bankrupt only six months after opening, the venue managed to keep thriving. However, in 1998, due to financial problems, Sankeys Soap closed its doors to the public.
In 2000, the club was revived by business partners David Vincent and Sacha Lord-Marchionne. This time the club was more successful than before, tackling the problems that had crippled its previous owners. In 2006, the club was forced to close once more, much to the dismay of clubbers. David Vincent announced that this time Sankeys Soap would be closed for good.
Later that summer, it was announced that the club was to re-open under the shorter name Sankeys. It would be under the direction of David Vincent who invited Andy Spiro to get involved once again. During its closure the club underwent a major refit involving a brand new LED lighting system and featured the "hatongue" who took over from the legendary "Mad Graham" after the PAR cans were removed. The main DJ booth was also replaced by a new circular box.
In 2009, owing to the success of the new club, 15 further changes were made to celebrate 15 years of the Sankeys dynasty. These included dynamic ceiling lighting in the Spektrum (the upstairs part of the club) as well as a beach constructed with 50 tonnes of Bahamas Sand and the introduction of a state-of-the-art barcoded entry system. In 2010, Sankeys was voted the number one club in the world in a DJ Mag reader poll.
Following the success of 2010, David Vincent announced plans to create "Seven Sankeys" of the World in the seven cities that inspired the original Sankeys.
The music policy at Sankeys was varied but focused on underground electronic music, mainly House & Techno. The club also hosted one-off nights from outside promoters.
Resident DJs over the years included Greg Vickers, Bushwacka!, Jozef K, Darius Syrossian, Ellesse, Ryan Croft, Adam Chappell, OD Muzique, Pete Zorba, and Luke Welsh.
On 11 April 2013, Sankeys announced they would be closing the doors again on 6 May 2013.
On 12 November 2013, Sankeys announced on their Ibiza Twitter feed that they would be re-opening Manchester in January 2014.
On 12 January 2017, Sankeys announced that they were permanently closing with immediate effect, after the building they occupied had been sold to be turned into apartments.
In October, November and December 2011, engineering works closed both the Exmouth Branch Line and the line between Exeter and Honiton.

I have passed this corner ever since I moved into the neighborhood and there was an old bench there which I also have posted... But when I went to the store the other day there was a new one there.. So glad because I didn't think that old bench would even hold a grown up anymore... Happy Bench Monday, Everybody!!!!
