Here's another composition taken at El Matador state beach. My last post from here was shot from the rock just to the right of the opening.
Thank you for taking the time to visit and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great week. :)
If you have any questions about this photo or about photography in general, I will do my best to help, just post a comment or send me a Flickr mail and I will respond as quickly as possible.
So this is the Sugarloaf Point Lighthouse (1875).
Located at Seal Rocks - just a little to the north of Sydney.
Sugarloaf Point Lighthouse stands on a dramatic headland east of Seal Rocks village. Completed in 1875, it is the first lighthouse designed by colonial architect James Barnet and one of only two towers in Australia with an external stairway.
It was originally built to guide ships along the rocky coastline to the north of Sydney, after a number of incidents, including the shipwrecking of the SS Catterthun and the SS Rainbow.
Below the lighthouse are the Lighthouse Keepers’ quarters and outbuildings that have been refurbished to offer holiday accommodation for visitors.

Original photo was taken in summer ...
This photo was my first attempt to process a Nikon (NEF) RAW file with Nikon software (Capture NX-D) before applying noise reduction in Topaz Denoise as a 16-bit TIFF file. Unfortunately, Topaz Denoise does not recognise edits made to Nikon RAW files, hence the necessity to save as a TIFF file. Further tweaks were then made in PS and Lr.
So it's the 'Alexander' catamaran on its way to McMahons Point Wharf, Balmain East Wharf and then across Darling Harbour to Barangaroo.
If you catch this ferry, you will be just in time for an amazing dinner at 'The Malaya' restaurant in Lime Street, right near King Street Wharf, at Barangaroo.
This is one of the coolest restaurants in Sydney. Here's the info AND the latest menu:

After dinner catch a night ferry back across the harbour, under the bridge, and on to Circular Quay. OR, get off at Luna Park (aka Milsons Point) and take the super fast, brand new, Metro driverless train back to the Hills District. Too easy, lol.

When I saw the word Gossamer, I thought of many things: wings on these fall fairies I have in the dining room, sheer curtains and this song! The song has been in my head ever since and so I followed it! I have all layered here a sky I took today along with my gossamer sheers as texture and the boy of the pair of fairies along with a moon shot I took several days ago.

Here's another photo from that whole software mess-up a year ago that deleted most of my Flickr library.
I took this while I was in school at the International Academy of Design and Technology in Tampa. I'm pretty sure it was taken for my Introduction to Lighting class. I got a good grade for the series, and really had a great time. It's interesting too... I learned a lot about portrait lighting from this project. :-)

During our short visit in Yosemite we did stop by the Ahwahnee Hotel. I would haved like a little more freedom to pick my shooting locations but since the paths around the hotel had ropes to keep you on the path and off the grass/meadow areas I played by the rules.
Photo wise this is a color HDR image from three DNG images (4EV spread) and I ran it through the HDR software four times at different settings (one tone mapped and three fused) with the final step blending them all together in Photoshop with layer masks.

Caution: (the following description contains NO sarcasm. read at your own risk.)
Venice is my favorite place to go on a photo walk. No matter where you go, there is always something unique and beautiful to see. Being such a small & compacted place makes it ideal for a day trip too. However, if you plan on doing some photography, make sure to stay a little longer and observe the city during different times of day. You’ll be surprised how much the lighting conditions will change, sometimes hour by hour.
Here you see the light of the late afternoon. A sun, hung low in the sky, not quite casting golden tones, but still casting long sharp shadows and highlights. It’s a great time of day to capture vivid colors, contrast, & dramatic lighting.
Check out some other HDR Photos from Venice.

velvia colors: retouched by a digital filter
made with picnik or photoscape software
define Velvia:
a reference positive film with a finer grain, RMS 9 , very saturated colors under daylight, high contrast, and exceptional sharpness.
__ e.g.
Maker: Fujifilm
Speed: 50/18°
Type: Color slide
Balance: Daylight
Velvia is a brand of daylight-balanced color reversal film produced by the Japanese company Fujifilm.
The name is a contraction of "Velvet Media", a reference to its smooth image structure.
The original incarnation of the film was called "Velvia for Professionals", known as RVP, a classification code meaning "Reversal/Velvia/Professional series".
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?

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.

After looking over my original processing on this data set I was thinking that I may have pushed the processing just a bit and wanted to reprocess it to make the result look more natural. Also, there have been more darks and bias frames added to make a smoother end result.
