Sometimes I see potential in a photo for these effects. Sometimes I just go willy nilly and see what happens. Sometimes I just put the photo in the trash and start over.
This is done using a layer mask and blur effect in Photoshop Elements.

..HFF!!
..lol..You had to know I took more than one drive by fence shot..;).However, I think this is the last one I'll post. They others don't do as much for me. This one didn't either until I ran it through Topaz Studio.
Another old shot processed through Deep Dream Generator. New life to some old shots.
Happy Slider Sunday
A 35mm slide image, originally shared almost a decade ago, that has brushed up nicely courtesy of the improved digital darkroom skills (and software packages) I've managed to pick up over the last few years.
In this shot an Eastern Region Rail Rover and an overnight train from London Kings Cross provided for a dawn arrival in Newcastle Central, where first light catches a class 03 shunter at the eastern end of the station ready for the day's action. The Keep, a must-do destination for rail snappers visiting Newcastle back then, stands imposingly in the background.
As ever, exposure was a bit finger in the air with the Zodel F Lightmeter (a 60's vintage hand-me-down from my Dad), but two or three bracketed shots for safety managed to yield a result.
I had a couple of these ERRR's over the years and they provided superb rail photography opportunities for this East Midlander who had rarely ventured further east than Grantham.
This version should go to full-screen quite well. The original has been deleted.

This isn’t an upload to talk about the image above, it’s more to talk about the software that was used to process it.
I’m very much a lightroom user, especially on my desktop computer, I’m a bit more flexible if using my iPad, but even there I use lightroom mobile a lot of the time.
There is always talk online about software alternatives to lightroom, one company that makes an alternative is Skylum and their Luminar software, you may or may not have heard of them.
I’ve read bits and pieces online about Luminar and a lot of people seem to like it as an alternative to lightroom, but I’ve never taken it much further than that.
Fortunately I also like getting things for free and reading this months Digital camera magazine I realised you could get Luminar 3 for free, so that’s what I did and now I have a fully functioning copy of Luminar to use for as long as I like. I haven’t had chance to fully get used to it yet, my first thoughts are that lightroom is better, but that’s probably because I’m used to Lightroom and have been using it a long time, I’m sure when I use Luminar 3 more I will get more used to it.
So as most people don’t buy photography magazines and may not have seen this offer I thought I’d share the details here and if you’d like to have a free copy of Luminar 3 yourself then you can, it’s quite a simple process, it is only for windows and macs though, not iPads, tablets or your phone.
So here is the address you need to put in your browser address bar, don’t put it in google or any other search engine, it needs to go in the address bar at the top of your browser. You will get an email sent to you with a link to the software download and an activation code and that’s pretty much it. There isn’t anything dodgy about it, it’s a proper legal offer and the company behind the software is a respected company but if your unsure just put Luminar 3 into google and do a bit of research.
This is what you put in browser address bar,

Affinity by Canva: First Impressions

I spent half an hour learning/evaluating Affinity by Canva.
It's not an intuitive software, especially for those who aren't very experienced with editing, but it quickly makes you realize it's not one of those toy apps. Affinity is powerful, however, and includes a wealth of editing and graphics tools on par with more well-known and very expensive software.
It's not a product for astrophotography, so its value can be best demonstrated by its performance on non-ordinary images.
I limited myself to the Pixel section, i.e., photo editing, and after some testing, I ventured into processing a raw TIFF image of M42 (box 1), a subject rich in nuances, tones, and a myriad of details.
Even with the basic settings (box 2), the result is very satisfying. However, it's by exploring the advanced tools that I discover extremely useful applications for astrophotography, such as generating false-color images (box 3) and applying powerful and incredibly simple deconvolutional algorithms.
The use of deep learning in many tools is all too evident, and it's important/recommended not to get too carried away. The experienced user will know how much to use and, above all, when to stop to avoid entering the minefield of overprocessing, which is unfortunately widespread, where artifacts are considered objective details.
For software that has become free, can you expect more?

Using Photoshop Layers Software here is a quick montage of the fireworks seen above my home yesterday evening. Hope you like it.
Using Topaz Noise Adjust 6 for the first time.
This shot of a Beach Staggerwing Replica was very noise on the underside of the aircraft. Not a very good capture but a great candidate for the test.
Giving Nik Software HDR efex Pro 2 a test run. I'm not big into HDR, but sometimes it's just kinda necessary (in small amounts). Now that I've got an awesome tripod of awesomeness, it's time I learned to embrace it.
Also thinking it might be time to leave my beloved CNX2. I love it. I wish they would upgrade it and fix all the problems with it and maybe give us a few more features, but it's been YEARS since NX2 was released, there's been no news from nik software of any intention of upgrading it, and their newest versions of the plug-ins aren't even compatible with NX..... sigh....
Testing CS6 with the nik software plug-ins now to see if I can make it close enough to NX2 to convince myself to make the switch.

Textured HDR shot of the Thailand Wat located in Buriram. This Wat was constructed by Cambodians in Thailand's territory a very long time ago. How long? Well you can do the research on that, I'm just the photographer. I added some textures to this image, but after processing the image a few more times, the texture seemed to have disappeared. Oh well... I really wanted to make this Thailand Wat a cool picture with some noticeable textures, but this don't look all to bad.
