Intentional camera movement (ICM) with my new Nikon Z50 and the 75-250 lens. White Butte, Saskatchewan, Canada. 5 November 2020
Abstract fantasy. This started out as a shot of the wall of glass blocks at St Andrew's Car Park, Norwich, UK.
I shot this last year, but completely forgot about it!
I'd driven past this little 'hidden' tree a few times on the way up to the Northumberland coast and always fancied capturing it at sunset.
I made the decision one day to head up, but sunset ended up not quite being what I had in mind!
Got lucky with the field though as that got harvested a few days after this was taken!

Number 242 of my 365 photo challenge - A split-toned, HDR, long exposure, stitched, landscape image of rocks in calm water on the shores of St. Andrews in Fife, Scotland.
This is a 8 shot image. A 4 shot, portrait orientation panorama with each of those images being a 2 shot HDR for detail.
Mood, rain, light, colour - and an incredible feeling of excitement when all the elements came together...
Sunset at Castle Stalker, Loch Linnhe
Some of you may remember this photo from the first time round when Caiden had his first go at feeding him self, Well I have changed the treatment of it to match the the photo of his little sister having her first go www.flickr.com/photos/58006425@N04/26559549344/in/datepos...
Today was a full day for me. I took B on a play date and then went to visit my BIL in the hospital. This makes his 3rd visit in the past month and a half. So, this is lacking a ton of creativity. I just plopped in the floor and took the pic. Tomorrow will hopefully bring more ideas.
I like my quieter, calmer days on the lake in my wooden boat. Less obnoxious traffic on the water and at the docks. Boating is like a spiritual thing to me. No fishing, skiing, drinking, or music while I'm out. I just enjoy cruising around with stretches of going fast.

Number 172 of my 365 photo challenge - A 5 shot bracket exposure HDR, 1:1 macro image of a Buttercup flower in the morning sun after the rain. This image has been cross-processed and split-toned to bring out more detail.
A lot of processing, I know, but I am working towards a particular technical outcome. I am going to add focus stacking next time as well. They are huge file sizes so it is a very slow editing process. Just trying to decide if it is worth it now...
Straight out of Narnia (well almost). This magical, mystical path leads through to some local orchards where we walk our dog. Just follow the path and let your senses free!

La Jornada, The Journey, is a multi-piece sculpture outside the Albuquerque Museum of Art and History in Old Town. According to the New Mexico Hispanic Culture Preservation League, the work is so large, that it required two artists to bring it to completion in the time frame allowed for its construction.
The two artists are Reynaldo (Sonny) Rivera and Betty Sabo.
The work is important to those here in the southwest of Hispanic descent, as it commemorates the difficult journey of the settlers traveling with Don Juan de Oñate. And while he is a quite controversial figure in New Mexico history, one can't deny the strength, courage, and sacrifice of those who came with him. And one can't deny the artistry of the pieces which make up this work.
I took a couple vacation days this past week and on Thursday decided to head to Old Town and passed by La Jornada on my way to the natural history museum.
This photo is shot through the infrared filter, then converted to a split-tone in Lightroom. I didn't slide contrast greater there as I didn't want to lose shadow detail, and left contrast enhancement for Photoshop. One can see the original infrared image in the first comment box below.
In Ps, the first thing I did was to create two copies of the background layer, so that I could use the frequency separation technique to clean up the image. Frequency separation essentially creates two layers, one layer for editing color or luminosity, and the other for texture. All too often when cloning or editing (especially skin) the original texture is lost in the process, making things look too smooth or just wrong. Frequency separation by separating those two attributes allows one to clone out distractions or fix blemishes more appropriately. Most of the youtube videos I've watched teach it for portrait/skin editing. In the original IR image one can see that there are blobs of highlight that look wrong, in what should be smooth sky. The Freq Sep technique allowed me to correct those areas and keep the texture. Shooting the IR at high ISO causes noise that looks like grain, and I didn't want to lose that. This technique also allowed me to clone out the distracting rope at the right hand frame.
In the first comment box below is a screenshot of the Ps Layers Panel and Channels Panel side by side, and one can see that blue highlighted group layer for FS or frequency separation. HF is the texture layer and LF is the color/luminosity layer. In between are layers on which I painted to create smooth transitions of tone and color. Because they are sandwiched below the HF layer, the original texture, things blend more appropriately. The HF layer is copied so that if I screw things up on the copy, there is the original untouched. The copy is where I used the clone tool to retouch texture, especially where I had cloned out the rope.
Above the FS layer one can see layers that I use for adjusting light and dark. I'm experimenting with a new technique for dodging. I'll create a new layer and set its blend mode to overlay. I'll paint white, with reduced flow, to bring up highlights in specific areas. There are so many layers here because if I screw up, I can always delete the layer and begin again. And I screw up a lot. Then I'll use masks created from the luminosity based channels to confine the effect even more precisely.
And I tried something new for burning. A new layer set to multiply blend mode and painted upon with black, reduced flow to gradually build up the darkening and painted through a selection of one of the darks luminosity channels.
"Painting through" is a technique I learned from Tony Kuyper's tutorials. After creating the luminosity based channels, Control clicking on one of those channels selects it. Now, when painting using the brush tool, the paint is confined to the automatically feathered selection area. Pretty nifty, eh? It gave such precise control over where I painted black, that I didn't need to create a mask for that layer.
And that's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
I hope everyone has a satisfying sliders sunday.
Update 20Dec20: The sculpture La Jornada was the scene of violent protest this summer. Juan de Oñate led the expedition depicted in the piece. He was a particularly nasty conquistador ordering the murder and mutilation of Native Americans. The piece was removed for public safety.

Shot with the Sony RX100 (I had decided to travel ‘light’ – no Canon 5Dmkii and set of lenses, only the RX100 and the Fujifilm X100). Used a ND filter attached on the Lensmate adapter to be able to shoot at F/2.0 in bright sunlight.
I’m still quite impressed with the shall DoF & bokeh out of the RX100 when shot so close to the subject.
Rather heavy PP in LR4.4 to obtain the moody look that I was looking for this one...
