Some of the nicest things I know is to spend some time with my loved ones, and I know that I'm privileged 🙏
Aiko is the coolest dude I know, well of course you Flickr dudes are really cool too, but his way of begging is probably cutest 😁
I think I have to rewrite the saying "Sharing is caring" with
"Staring is sharing"
King Aiko and his brown eyes gets what he wants, always.
The deers are sharing the carrots available, that only lasts so long before one gets greedy.

📍 Porthbeer Cove 🌊
The coves and beaches on Lizard Peninsula are my favourite coastal locations this time of year. It seems to be the ideal place locally to catch sunrises and sunsets.
I has discovered Porthbeer Cove, near Coverack, a year ago. At the time I bagged some decent photos and vowed to return.
On this visit, as the sun ascended through thick cloud, it broke through - casting crepuscular rays. To make the most of the sun rays, I zoomed the lens to 55mm to compress the perspective and effectively make the distant sky more prominent. A slow shutter speed captured the movement of the waves.

Sorry about the double post! But two two two cats in one!
Full loot from last week. Will is awesome....
Haven't mailed yet, Codey.
These were gifts so don't ask how I got them.
The nighttime prep! *sorry Jake! Used your shaving cream on my legs*

The last decades brought the people to own an arsenal of objects – most of them seldom used and purchased without a pressing need to do so as one could have borrowed, shared or simply lived without them. We are hoarding our private treasures in our private spaces so they can silently get dusty in private. While we are so busy spending a lot of energy in our possessions, we forget that it might make us happier, to save the time we need to work for the purchase and invest it in something that truly makes a value to us.
Alright, just like others on Flickr, I’ve been asked how I get my HDR image to pop the way they do. Well, while in Baltimore I used my handy Flip Video to show you how simple my setup is.
Here is the link to me in Baltimore freezing my butt off, showing off the simple technique of shooting a rental car with 9 exposures. (don't mind the bags under my eyes... that's jetlag and aging for ya)
Okay, I shoot 9 exp because... well, my D200 can do it. It's digital and free. Now I typically take one shot. A test shot, with my metering on the largest matrix mode there is, to get an overall average of the scene's exposure. Plus with going further + and -, you cover more of the tonal range, so hopefully that contributes to a better overall final image.
But before I do that, I still need to find a shot that is interested and well composed on it’s own. Okay, got one? That was easy.
I use a tripod and remote trigger on Ch (high speed shutter) to snap all the shots at once. But take a single shot first to make sure the MAIN SUBJECT looks properly exposed.
If the mid-range looks to be exposed properly, then I'll know that it's what I want. Now I shoot 9 exp at 1stop intervals. Thus, if my scene normally would be shot at 1/60th, that means I'll be capturing the tonal range from +/- 4stops. There is a better chance that I'll get exposures of the darkest areas and brightest areas that way. So:
1/60, 1/1250, 1/640, 1/320, 1/160, 1/40, 1/20, 1/10, 1/5
So right there that covers more range and thus get more tonal coverage.
But that's only the tip of the ice cream. Now is time to get the images on the computer and process them.
Here is a quick 10 minute video on how I process the images with Photomatix and then Photoshop CS3
So in Photomatix, I roughly use these settings:
Strength: 100
Saturation: 100
Light Smoothing: (either the 4th or 5th button) this has a dramatic effect on your overall image
Luminosity: Usually 10. Less = more halo affect on horizon, but does work better with the 4th Light Smoothing button.
Play around with these the most, as they will influence your image the most.
Tone:
white: 100
black: 100
Gamma: between 1.40 and 1.15
Color:
Temperature: between -2 and 4
Saturation Highlights: 10
Saturation Shadows: 10
Micro:
Micro-contrast: 10 (love me a good contrast)
Micro-smoothing: 5-30 (30 being smooth, 5 being pretty dramatic, but also lots of noise in the sky)
S/H:
Highlight Smoothing: 0
Shadow Smoothing: 0
Shadow Clipping: 0 unless I want some areas dark
Process. Save.
Once I get my photo into CS3, I take my time to dodge/burn the photo so all those little weird dark areas that Photomatix creates are all evened out. Once it's all even... ready for this, I:
Create a dupe layer
change it to: SCREEN (which makes it really bright)
adjust it to about.. I dunno, 30% or so until it looks properly exposed
Then flatten
Then use DODGE/BURN to even out the exposure and any areas that appear too dark/light
Create another dupe layer
change it to: SOFT or HARD light to exaggerate the colors a bit
adjust it appropriately.
Flatten
Once I do that, I might use the SPONGE tool to either saturate or desaturate the colors so it's even on the photo.
Now for the sky, if I want crazy clouds or colors, I use a magic wand or something to select the sky and thencreate another layer.
open up OPTIKVERVE'S VIRTUAL PHOTOGRAPHER and go through some of the presets in there. My personal favorites are:
Photocopy
Radiant
Landscape
Etc. Then I apply it, and adjust my layer, between 20 and 80%, depending on how much it changes the image
LARGE VERSION for educational purposes only.
That's about it really. There might be other things I do, but I always dodge/burn to even out the shadows and highlights. While the colors are vivid, I don't like things looking too crazy... usually.
