Sydney photographed from the forest at Blues Point Reserve.
End of Blues Point Road, Blues Point, aka McMahons Point.
And because this image was taken from within a forest of gum trees, here's the haunting sound of 'Sweet Lullaby' by French artists 'Deep Forest'. This is the cool, extended mix:

So, on this occasion I parked up on Blues Point Road near the amazing 'Breadworks' cafe, sampling the Flat White Coffee and a simple 'Poached Eggs on Toast', before rambling down to the Blues Point Reserve.
Blues Point Reserve provides magical views across the harbour to the bridge, city and Barangaroo - but you can also look west to Balmain, Goat Island, Balls Head and right up along the Parramatta River.

Less than a mile from the Garden is where I did much of my first "birding" such as it was. And one of my first encounters with what was one of my longest lasting nemeses, the male Belted Kingfisher.
First, this was at Heather Farm Reserve when it was more wildlife than human. There is a very large pond with an island that creates a lagoon. And in this lagoon lived (maybe still does) a Belted Kingfisher which have a ratcheting call and a bill like an Australian Kookaburra. He would perch on a favorite snag (which the city cut off five years later) and call. As soon as you'd come running, he would fly to the other side of the island and, dutifully, I would run to try and get just one decent shot. This training of humans - I wasn't the only one - went on for almost five years when I spotted him before he saw me.
This was not the greatest shot, and it has been archived for eight years until my software came with a clarity brush and I was able to bring this character out in the open.
I keep mentioning the male. That is because the female Belted Kingfisher was only seen once and that was in 2019. The female has two bars across the chest, an example of sexual dimosphism. I saw her once, and never again.
When the City began pruning, chopping, fencing and doing other inane things to a park that had existed for over 100 years, the wildlife left and me along with them. I saw one of the people I used to see every day at the Reserve (now at the Garden), and she told me it has been dead as a doornail for three years. That includes the dragonflies because the ponds are low, no fish, and unsuitable for even the small number of Odonata we used to have.
I feel like a Burrowing Owl who keeps getting moved by planning developers, something I witnessed first hand and four times with the local colonies. Now, they're too far for me to go...

This image is comprised of Ha and OIII band data, and for the first time I have a target where the OIII signal is far stronger than the Ha signal. In my rendering of this image that I posted a week ago, I could barely, if at all, see any evidence of the Ha in the image.
I altered my PixInsight workflow three ways to improve the original image and obtain this result. Before mapping the Ha and OIII to the RGB channels, I applied LinearFit to increase the intensity of the Ha data to match the OIII. After mapping Ha and OIII to the RGB channels, I applied SPCC, this time with Ideal QE Curve selected, and using Photon Flux for the Whte Reference. And lastly, I selected OIII as luminance when I mixed the colors in NarrowbandNormalization.
As a result of the alternate processing, I can see Ha depicted as a goldish color in the outlying wispy areas, and within the target object.

I hope this isn't too dark. I guess I can redo it if I need to. Anyway, this creation is thanks to Topaz software. I was playing around with the presets and found this one and kinda liked it.
Is anyone besides me having problems running Topaz with Windows 8.1? It keeps shutting down on me.
I passed out free shade trees today. Something the city does every year in an effort to cool the city down..:) I know you're laughing..:) but that's the plan.
One of my cosplay buddies, Becky-Taka, in her version of Pennywise from "IT." I used a MagMod "MagBeam" with a cyan gel and "orb" light stencils on my flash to create the light pattern around her. Image also processed with Nik Software's Analog Efex Pro - Classic Camera and Color Efex Pro filters to really bump up the creep factor in this image.
I have another version of this image that has been run through Color Efex Pro's Infrared filter that I will be posting a bit later. Becky has seen both versions and loved them!!
UPDATE: Wow!! Nice surprise to wake up to. Becky's photo made it on to Flickr's Explore page. Thank you for all the likes and kind words. Danke et Merci Beaucoup!!

A beautiful landscape with a beautiful light make a beautiful shot. Period.
This picture comes from 3 raw (-2.0, 0, +2.0 EV) files taken with my amazing d7000 handheld.
Post-processing was made with Photomatix and Viveza software.

This is locally know as the Pirates tower. I ran into a family that live near by and they recited a story about how the home owner that lived in the home at the the top of the tower used to dress up like a pirate and walk the streets and pubs telling people that he has hidden coins in the boards of the spiral staircase that leads to the top, for the kids in the area to find if they explored it well enough. The kids in the area spent a lot of time in that tower. :)

"HAVE A GO AT OUR OPEN MONTHLY CHALLENGE"
The subjects for this month and details on how to take part can be found here.
Anyone, anywhere with any camera can take part.
So this is a setup shot taken to show what I did to take the previous, "One Word" shot.
This was a real world, practical setup to create the shot. No heavy-handed "Photoshop" work was done to create the image of the planet and word inside the drop of water.
To do this you need to set a lot up before you take the shot. Three things need to be lined up for a successful shot.
1) The subject and camera need to be lined up so you can see the drop of water on the end of the blade of grass in this case. Distance for the magnification and height to just see the thing.
2) Then I bring in the background/refraction subject. That needs to be lit harshly, yet no spill over light onto the drop of water. I use a focusable hand held flashlight. The angle of this light is very important.
But the distance of the background is something that you need to figure out by moving it up/down, left/right and forward and back. Each direction makes a small change in the refracted image inside the drop of water.
The background can be anything you want it to be. For the image I created I used a restriction free image that NASA released to the world a while ago. Its called, "The Blue Marble."
I then drew the letters for the word (a couple times actually to get the size right) and colored them in and cut them out using a razor blade from the single stick labels I made them out of. Then I stuck them onto the image.
This is a real image that was created in a practical way. Not all done in photoshop. Hell, I don't even own that software.
There are plenty of videos on YouTube covering this technique, just search Water Droplet Refraction.

That is Lake O'Hara Lodge cabins on the right.
Scanned from a film (Kodachrome slide) original. A Nikon Coolscan V scanner together with VueScan software was used to make a digital copy of my 38 year old analogue original.
I think I need a new camera. All the shots I took at this place have weird noise in them. the noise kind of looks like rectangular shapes and it's all of over the images in a kind of pattern. Seems to be a electronic problem of some sort :( I tried my hardest to get rid of most of it but it leaves the images looking a little strange. I suppose you can't really notice if you just take a quick look at them. Sigh ....
This is taken from the tour bus when we went to northwestern China. It was the beginning of June and we were very lucky to see sheep migrating for the season. They were moving their way up to the mountains, and would come down to the fields sometime in Sept. Everybody on the tour bus was so excited accept the driver :) I managed to grab this shot through the windshield. Used Photoshop to clean off the reflection and finishing editing in HDRtist NX 2.
HDRtist NX 2 is a MAC software I co-develop with my husband. If you'd like to see what it looks like before I used NX 2, please click here : www.flickr.com/photos/24426865@N03/49114010197/in/datepos...
Some software experts posed with me for a group portrait a couple months ago.
Top (L to R) is Christina, Lisa, Kandi, Cristy, and Jane.
Lower (L to R) is me and Jenna.
The concept was to publicly display some favorite software: real or faux.
I, for one, was initially surprised at the number of software experts in my collection of friends. In retrospect - maybe that should not be surprising.
After all, arguing with any one of us expert women is like reading a software license agreement...
...in the end, you ignore it all and click "I agree".
Resistance is futile.
Enjoy

With their soft flowing tentacles and bright contrasting colours, the sea anemones were perfect subjects for adding a few extra special effects to give the photos a unique look. I have a video demonstration of my post-processing techniques on the blog:

I don't think it is THEE Elvis but it is Stitch so it is possible. Anyway, it keeps singing Hunk a Hunk a Burning Love and apparently those are the only words it knows because it just repeats the same lyrics over and over. Which would explain why it's a skull and not a head ... or attached to anything ... like a body ... that I hope no one finds. Just saying.
View wiggling your hips and doing your best Elvis Presley impersonation. Except you in the back. That's scary, stop it.

As a qualified Computer Technologist from Univ of Wales; I always believes in using the technology to create arts.
This is using the software of www.chaoscope.org.
Chaoscope is a 3D strange attractors rendering software. When you visiting the link above; there are sample of pictures rendered by the program. You can check the Gallery to see more examples of what Chaoscope can do.
It is an ongoing project created and maintained by Nicolas Desprez ; the current version is 0.3.1. It is a freeware running on the Windows™ platform.
I have used the Chaotic - flow Plasma to generate this image.
Then I did some work using Picasa & Corel Paintshop Pro Xi to get to the finish presentation of the above image.
Thank you for your visit & support.
I appreciate it.
