Shot with the Carl Zeiss Planar T 50mm f1.7 50 mm F 1.7. Am really delighted with this lens ! Still need to buy a precision focusing screen and solve the issue that it sometimes prevents the mirror from returning to its normal position. But apart from that, amazing piece of glass for a very reasonable price !
I took a different approach to this image. I desaturated all the color out, then painted in general tones in a very muted fashion. It has a very mellow feeling now that if nothing else expresses my intent as the artist.

Procrastination, something I so expertly did today. Instead of working on my "to do" list, I shot almost everything on my desk.
Talk about being productive... at least, I had my music.
St Vitus Cathedral, Prague, Czech Republic. Situated in the castle district of Prague, St Vitus is an impressive Roman Catholic Cathedral that attracts lots of visitors, admiring its Gothic architectural style. This is a stitched shot composited from 2 frames and converted to monochrome and then split toned using LR6. Best viewed in 'L' large view mode to see the intricate architectural detail.
I took this on the moors near Haworth, Yorkshire. This tree appeared almost white in the morning light. Taken with my friend's Lumix DMC-FZ72 bridge camera, and split-toned in Adobe Lightroom
So here is for all of you a strong and small coffee for the start into the morning.
All of you a good sunday.
An octagonal brick building erected in 1816. A Coast Guard and tower beacon were maintained at the point during the Revolution. Original wooden lighthouse, built in 1806, was blown down in the Great Gale of September 1815. The last German U-Boat sunk in World War II was two miles off the light. www.visitrhodeisland.com/what-to-see/lighthouses/994/poin...
THE WOOD
Charlotte Bronte
But two miles more, and then we rest!
Well, there is still an hour of day,
And long the brightness of the West
Will light us on our devious way;
Sit then, awhile, here in this wood--
So total is the solitude,
We safely may delay.
These massive roots afford a seat,
Which seems for weary travellers made.
There rest. The air is soft and sweet
In this sequestered forest glade,
And there are scents of flowers around,
The evening dew draws from the ground;
How soothingly they spread!

Split toned in Adobe Lightroom, the variations of split toning you can get in Lightroom are endless. One does ones best!!!

I've been a little frustrated with the cold tones of some of my recent photos. The compositions are strong but with my basic adjustments in Lightroom I've been unable to get the warmth I want. I think it has to do with my reliance on shadow and highlight adjustments to compensate for the range of brightness in the single exposure.
I experimented with Hue, Luminance, and Split Toning, adjustments I typically don't use, to bring more warmth and dynamism to the shot, and I was really pleasantly surprised by the results.
This shot shows a comparison with the non split-toned shot below and the split-toned version above. Here are the specific adjustments I made:
Highlights - Hue 52, Sat 5
Shadows - Hue 28, Sat 23
As usual, just when I think I've got post-processing figured out I realize I've got a lot to learn.
Next up is the mysterious and intimidating tone curve.
Yesterday, I had a mini crisis at 2:30 in the morning because I despised everything I'd shot that day and didn't want to post something that I was completely unhappy with. To make up for it, I'm posting twice today.
I actually shot several very involved pictures meant for two composites this afternoon, but as usual with this project, time got the best of me and I was only able to complete one.
This is an outtake from today's shoot-- I had sworn to myself at the start of this project that I would steer clear of taking pictures of flowers because it wasn't in any way creative or personally challenging, but you know what? My personal rules for this project seem to be made to be broken.
Number 223 of my 365 photo challenge - A simple, split-toned, landscape image, taken in the afternoon, of a well known tree near where I live called the Cromwell Tree.
We depend on Mother Nature's trees for our existence. Please look after them, as they look after us. Looks nice on black.
A quick image from a recent day out stopping at Doune castle, one of the historic castles of Scotland and also has a claim to fame as a set from the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
After talking about the coldest week yesterday, this photo goes back to early August, which would be close to the warmest week: the hottest day being in late July. We went to Gemmill Park in Almonte thinking that the kids would like to roll down the hills. It turned out that they didn't really cotton to the concept, but grandmother and granddaughter did have a serene and bonding moment.

I had a great first launch of the season. It was calm and quiet, and I had just given my classic outboard a tune-up. This view of Hammondsport is my favorite on the lake.
