Happy 2010 my dear friends/contacts!! I hope you’ve all had a wonderful New Year. I'm so sorry for not seeing and commenting on your photos as often as I used to. During the past few months I've been very busy, and to be honest I've got a little lazy as well. But one of the greatest things I found in 2009 was Flickr and my Flickr friends. I've got to know so many amazing people through this website, and I’m thankful for every photo view, comment, and favourite I’ve received. So thank you all very much.
For this year, one of my New Year's resolutions is to organise my time so that I can spend more time on Flickr, in order to upload more often and to see/fave/comment more photos.
✂ P.s. If you like, add a note to your buddy icon and write one of your New Year resolutions. I'll tag the name of people who share their resolutions in notes :D
I wish you all the best for 2010!
سلام. سال نو میلادی مبارک، امیدوارم ۲۰۱۰ برای همه سال خیلی خوبی باشه. با این عکس میخواستم هم به همه سال نو رو تبریک بگم، هم تشکر کنم، و هم معذرت بخوام. تشکر برای فوریتها، کامنت ها، کمک ها، نظر ها، پیشنهادا و تشویقتون؛ و معذرت برای اینکه توی چند ماه پیش واقعا سرم شلوغ شد و نتونستم خیلی به این سایت بیام و عکسای خوبتونو ببینم یا کامنت بنویسم. باور کنید دوست دارم تک تک عکساتونو ببینم و کلی از عکسای خوبتون یاد بگیرم اما هم درس و کار هست و هم اینکه مدیریت وقت خوبی ندارم و خیلی از وقتمو هدر میدم سر هیچو پوچ. برای همین این سال نو، یعنی توی سال ۲۰۱۰، تصمیم دارم که وقتمو بهتر تنظیم کنم و خیلی بیشتر به عکساتون سر بزنم و بیشتر کامنت بذارم وخودم عکسای دره پیتیمو بیشتر آپلود کنم. باور کنید کلی عکس از ماههای پیش هست که هی آپلود نکردم و الان انباشته شده، ولی امیدوارم همشون و زود زود آپلود کنم.
یه نت اضافه کنید روی عکستون و بنویسید که برای سال ۲۰۱۰ چه هدف یا آرمانی دارید. و چون نمیشه همرو تاگ کرد، هر کسی که این کارو کنه اسمش رو تگ میکنم توی عکس

Georges de Feure or Georges Joseph Van Sluÿters (1868-1943) was a French painter, theatrical designer and industrial art designer in the Symbolism and Art Nouveau movement. Living a Bohemian lifestyle at Montmartre in Paris, his circle of friends included composers, Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel. Feure was recognized as an important symbolist painter. His pictorial work was inspired by the poems of Charles Baudelaire, with various representations of the femme fatale. He also worked as an illustrator for “Courrier Français” and “Le Figaro Illustré”. We have digitally enhanced some of his artworks, including his poster design for “Les Maîtres de l’affiche” and “Jeanne d’Arc magazine”. They are free to download under the CC0 licence.

Resolutions for the New Year?
I resolve to take my analogue photography to an even higher level, aiming for the summit.
This photo was taken by an Asahi Pentax 6 X 7 medium format film camera and Super-Multi-Coated Takumar/6X7 1:4.5/75mm lens with a Zenza Bronica 82mm L-1A filter using Fuji Reala 100 film, the negative scanned by an Epson Perfection V600 and digitally rendered with Photoshop.

Remarkable 16th century botanical calligraphic artwork by two masters of the past: Georg Bocskay (1510–1575), court secretary to Ferdinand I, and Joris Hoefnagel (1542–1601). First created by Georg Bocskay to demonstrated the different styles of calligraphy of the era, the book was later ornamented with intricate fruits, flowers, and insects by Joris Hoefnagel and commissioned by Emperor Rudolph II, Ferdinand’s grandson. This unusual artistic collaboration between scribe and painter disrupted the history of manuscript illumination and gave us one of the most fascinating and beautifully crafted manuscripts of all time. Complement your designs, posters, and wallpapers with these enchanting CC0 illustrations from the past. We have digitally enhanced these spellbound hand-drawn calligraphy into high resolution printable quality. They are free to download under the CC0 license.

Lightroom 11 bietet das feature "Verbessern" an, mit dem die Pixelzahl des Bildes je Achse verdoppelt wird (Superauflösung, Dateigröße x 4). Der Algorithmus ist ganz offensichtlich sehr leistungsfähig, siehe die beiden Beispiele.
Beide bei schlechtem Licht in großer Entfernung fotografierte Objekte, Ausschnittvergrößerung ca. 4 fach, das verbesserte Bild direkt aus dem unverbesserten erzeugt, keine weitere Bearbeitung.
Lightroom 11 offers the Enhance feature, which doubles the pixels of the image per axis (super resolution, file size 4 times). The algorithm is obviously very powerful, see the two examples.
Both objects photographed in poor light at a great distance, cropped approx. 4 times, the enhanced image generated directly from the unenhanced one, no further processing.

I don't do new year's resolutions. Never have and (probably) never will as well. To me these things are pretty pointless. Should you be deceiving yourself with meaningless promises you won't hold anyway? IF you want to do something constructive which you want for a year, do a project like a 365 as I did in 2010 (or a project 52) or make it something else entirely. But please make it something constructive and not overly vague like "losing weight". Instead say you will start train running with some schedule for the next 30 or 60 days or so. A period which actually makes it fun as time passes sooner than making plans for a whole year.
After having a lot of ideas which were too hard to execute on location (I'm in Belgium right now with travel gear), I made this resolution up of shaving more since I needed a shave anyway. The final image got together in my head after walking around the house. A lot of photoshop abuse along with five different photos went into the final photo.. Nothing which ~20 layers can't fix.

Extra shout-out to my makeshift tripod constructed out of three ikea tables, two cutting boards, two remote controls, a lenscap and the yongnuo RX unit itself.
Every day Norman puts out vitamins for me to take.......well, not everyday because I always forget to take them. I can forget for days so they sit in a dish and gather dust.
I promise to take them everyday (I forgot on 1st Jan. but it's been ok since).

Hi-resolution photo from the western base contingent of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition which made camp on the top of the Shackleton Ice Shelf in February 1912. Andrew Watson set up a photographic darkroom in the main hut and he, along with geologist Charles Hoadley and meteorologist Morton Moyes, took most of the photos. This photo was taken sometime after 30 October 1912, while members of the group were on a five-week sledging party to survey the land to their east, by Charles Hoadley, from original glass negative.

George Barbier (1882–1932) became one of the most renowned French Art Deco illustrators after his exhibition of ninety costume drawings at the Galerie Boutet de Monval in Paris. Being a distinguished artist of the Art Deco movement, he created fashion designs for several leading couturiers and fashion houses during the time. Barbier was widely acclaimed for the design of costumes, jewelry, wallpaper, and glasswork. His creations were published in famous magazines including Gazette du Bon Ton, La Vie Parisienne, and Vogue. We have digitally enhanced his magnificent fashion plates from the gilded jazz age of 1920s for you to download for free and use under the CC0 license.

Picture above shows a Nikon D800E equipped with Phottix GPS and wireless RF trigger. The back of the camera is equipped with a Hoodman loupe to be able to critically focus using live view on LCD screen. The lens used is a Mamiya 645 Manual Focus A 150mm f/2.8. It is mounted on the camera via a PSA (Panorama Shift Adapter) from the company Zoerk (Zork) custom made to accommodate Mamiya 645 lenses on Nikon F body. The adapter has a tripod mount and can accommodate a L bracket shown here. The whole assembly is mounted via a Novoflex plate (QPL2 in blue color) on an Arca-Swiss compatible tripod head. I used here a clone of the Arca Swiss Cube for maximum flexibility and accuracy of positioning. In the picture above the lens is shifted horizontally to the left of the camera of approximately 10mm. This assembly is no longer a point & click camera but the digital equivalent of the old view camera, designed to meet or exceed the largest Digital medium format output.
The purpose of using a Mamiya lens on Nikon FF body is not just the latest fad to mount third party lenses on a Nikon body. Mamiya 645 lenses are excellent medium format lenses which have a diameter much superior to the 135 format lenses. It allows to take several photos shifted within the diameter of the lens optics. This is made possible because the 75mm diagonal of a 645 medium format lens gives 32mm of additional space (shift) compared to the 43mm diagonal of a 35mm format camera sensor. This is why we can take 3 photos shifted (one with no shit, one shifted left, and one shifted right) and still be within the diameter of the medium format lens. Using this technique the stitching is quasi perfect with no need to crop due to loss of coverage in the upper or lower section of the image, usually created by a a curvy horizon when panning/rotating with a non perfect leveling.
The resulting image that can be produced with this setup is the equivalent of a 80 Mpixel camera depending on the orientation of the D800E sensor vs the direction of shift! Superior resolution, higher ISO and less noise than all the current Digital medium format cameras sold $20000 and more! Yes, it is possible to do it with an investment inferior to $4000 if you count the purchase cost of the D800E. I will concede that the Mamiya 645 lenses, although excellent, will not quite match the performance of the Leica S lenses. Note however that a Leica S lens is usually > $6000 vs a used Mamiya 645 lens (55mm, 80mm) which can be found on ebay for $300 or less!
The German made Zoerk (Zork) adapter is unique as the Mamiya lens is fixed during the shifting: it is the body which moves behind the lens! Unlike most Panorama adapters allowing the rotation through a difficult to find nodal point , the Zork adaper eliminates any parallax issue since the lens is fixed vs the subject. This is particularly useful when you have a near and remote subject aligned with the camera: any rotation outside the nodal point will ruin the alignment and makes the stitching impossible. Therefore the Zork design results in a superior accuracy of the stitching of the photos where technically 2-3 pixels overlap is enough for a perfect stitch. Rotation based Panorama requires usually min 20% overlap to account for distortion/parallax issues, and the final image needs cropping due to curvature movement of the rotation if tripod head is not perfectly leveled.
Another huge benefit of the Zork adapter: it shifts horizontally 20mm with camera sensor in landscape mode. One limitation in vertical shift: the prism/flash housing of the D800 or D800E limits the vertical shift with sensor in landscape position (approx 14mm). It is better than the max shift of a Nikkor PC-E lens (approx 11 mm). With the camera in landscape mode and a vertical shift (up and down) or with the camera in portrait mode and a horizontal shift (left/right) you achieve the biggest file enlargement. With a Nikon PC-E lens a maximum 11mm shift will give you a 92% increase of the photo. With the Zork adapter a full 20mm shift (possible on Canon DLSR and Nikon pro bodies without built-in flash) will provide a 167% enlargement (yes 2.7 the original pixel size!). It means that a 36Mpixel camera like the D800 will provide a 96Mpixel file with the Zork adapter fully shifted. On Nikon bodies with built in flash like the D700 or D800 however the full shift of 20mm is not possible as the flash housing in on the path of the shift. It seems that the shift is limited to 14mm which provides an enlargement of 117% (x2.2 Mpixel increase).
For Panorama shots where the camera orientation must be the same as the direction of the shift (landscape/Horizontal shift or portrait/Vertical shift) the aspect ratio is spectacular but the Mpixel increase is less:
- On a traditional Nikon PC-E lens with 11mm shift, the Mpixel increase is 61% with aspect ratio of 2.4:1
- with the zork adapter using full 20mm shift (possible on all Canon and Nikon DSLR even with the D700/D800), the Mpixel increase is 111% with aspect ratio of 3:1! more information is available at the following link:
www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/tilt-shift-lenses1.htm
Tilt movement is not possible with this adapter and in general with Mamiya 645 lenses tilt can be achieved but you lose the ability to focus at infinity as the registration distance between the rear of the lens and the sensor would be too long with the additional tilt movement.
Although a sturdy design that reflects German engineering, the finish (look) of the adapter looks as a hand made prototype. The demand is not high enough in the market to mass produce this custom made adapter (the model I purchased use only Mamiya 645 MF lenses but the manufacturer can sell you one adapte for Pentax 6x7 or Hasselblad lenses to be mounted on Nikon or Canon bodies).
Cost $750 including the L bracket that allows the adapter to be mounted with flexibility in any position on a tripod head.
more information can be found on the manufacturer website:
I have put a lot of effort to research and understand the Tilt and Shift world which was new to me, and although there are a few books on view cameras, T&S lenses and the Scheimpflug principle, I could not find any practical information on using T&S adapters like Mirex and Zork on Digital cameras, using large diameter Medium Format lenses. Forums seem to provide some partial information with little experience with Nikon DSLR which are less friendly to shifting in the direction of the built-in flash. So I decided to gather all the information I have learned and summarize it in this single post, which you can bookmark or save as a favorite for future reference.
An example of a photo taken with this set-up with explanations how to use Photoshop for Panorama stitching and focus stacking is given in the comments area of this link:
www.flickr.com/photos/episa/8603934110/in/photostream
Final question you may ask and which I already asked myself since I own the Nikkor Micro PC-E 45/2.8: why not use a simple dedicated Tilt and shift lens from Nikon?
It turns out that using a dedicated Nikon PC-E lens is not any easier and still requires to manually focus and fix the exposure manually. A the same time it costs $2000 to get a single T&S lens. With the set-up described in this posting the investment is limited to the adapter ($750) and the Mamiya lens ($300 on ebay for each focal length like 55mm f/2.8N, 80mm f/2.8N, A 150mm f/2.8). Investing in a Nikon PC-E lens makes sense if you use the tilting function for creative effect or as a landscape photographer. But I would argue that using Focus stacking you can achieve an ever better effect than with a Tilt lens if your goal is to achieve maximum depth of field in a landscape or in a macro shot. The real advantage of the PC-E lens remains when you need to reduce the depth of field and create special effects (like miniature rendering, or tilted plane of focus). This becomes a very narrow application mostly for professional photographers who need to sell a unique look in their pictures.
I hope that you found this compilation of data instructive, even eye opening. Let me know if you appreciate the sharing.
Yes I know, we will get rid of the tree and decorations by the end of the week. It still looks good though. And I won't buy a new bottle at least for quite some time.

Nah !!!! Not for me ;o)
I never make resolutions, but...
I do promise to keep an eye on sweet Bullen
as I think Thistle may have a sibling in the spring :o)
and if its a colt ..... then somehow I'll have to find a way to give him a home!
I was sat on the very wet moor so naturally there are more of her below -
including the moment when Thistle decided it was her turn to be in front of the camera
( more of her another day ;o)
but I didn't take any shots of her picking up my stick and gently testing it -
I was just too busy enjoying her presence right beside me, unconcerned and inquisitive!!
The last two at very high ISO (5000) as darkness fell - here so you can see that big tum that I'm hoping is more than just doing well living on the moor..

Homenaje: Cámaras,me chiflan, son mis joyas. Tengo hasta una canon de cartón que me hizo mi hija!
Y aquí no salen mis últimas adquisiciones (foto viejita ya), lo cual quiere decir que ya me puedo poner a hacer la foto actual, con mi fuji pola azulita y mi diana. Me queta como tarea pendiente.
I'm going to take more and better pictures.

Certainly the last time I saw a Class 45/0 on a passenger working - and on air conditioned stock too.
45/0s were becoming increasingly rare in the south of England as withdrawals saw their numbers steadily decreasing. 45 052 must have been substituting for a failed 47 on 1M40, the 17:32 Poole - Liverpool, I had seen it earlier that afternoon working the Longbridge - Swindon vans
Not too late for New Year Resolutions, is it?
All these words relate to a goal, or a target I'd like to reach in 2011. There's no 'friends' or 'travel' there, which where the two words I desperately wanted to get there, but all the others hopefully make sense...and if they don't, well, maybe that's on purpose!
Happy New Year, everyone. I'm sorry that I'm late. It's been a tricky end to the year, and an awkward Christmas. Nevertheless, 2011 means bigger and better things, and I am on my way towards them!
Missed you lot! x
Included in TOTW's peices of me week - these really are peices of me.
