This was taken from one of the trails in Killarney Park, I can't remember the trail name, but it was the one focused on Georgian Bay. This is the sun's last light hitting the landscape from a nice viewpoint on the trail. I was a bit late to do the entire trail before sunset, and the rocks on the trail were a bit hazardous and, added to that, it would be easy to get lost on this trail in the dark, so I headed back to the car after the sun went down. 75 second exposure.
Richmond Beach Park in Shoreline, Washington. Joining a lot of area's in using Goat's for getting rid of BlackBerry vine's and overgrowth.
Flower.
This started out as a picture of a rather interesting flowerhead on a plant at the Royal Botanic Gardens near Toronto, taken in 2017.
I have no idea of what it was, but it was full of patterns and lines. So, good for filter play!
The approach here was to turn in on its side to create a false horizon and then to process it in Topaz Simplify, which is an interesting filter that reduces images to areas of colour delineated with coloured lines. It's a super filter for using as a basis for photographic painting, and is one of my favourites for Sliders Sunday playtime.
My original intention today was to go further and produce a kaleidoscope version for the group entry, but I rather preferred this intermediate stage (I'll publish the mirrored symmetrical version as well - see www.flickr.com/gp/141477116@N03/56v673).
I'll post a link to the in-camera original so you can see how far we came.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image! Happy Sliders Sunday :)
[Handheld in daylight.
Developed in Capture One for colour, especially the magenta/red in the flower and the green stem. Rotated 90 degrees.
Sharpened with Clarity and a slight general hue shift before processing in Topaz Simplify, using one of the Buzz presets as a starting point, and then tweaking to get lots of detail and noticeable but not overbearing lines. Simplify tends to increase the saturation and colour vibrancy in a lot of the presets as here.
Back into Affinity Photo for a bit of Unsharp Mask and Clarity sharpening and a bit of selective colour channel hue shifting to introduce the oranges at the top. That was about it for this version :)]
First of my drawing illustrations. I only started practicing drawing couple of months a go but I liked this one.

The first image from a mini-series taken in the quiet back roads of Northamptonshire & Rutland. The great simplifiers (Snow & Mist) were in play, so I knew there would be images that are not normally obvious. As the back roads were pretty much single lane, where the farmers had ploughed a channel through, I ended up not being able to hang about anywhere too long. All the shots subsequently hand-held.
