A departure from my usual street shots. I thought I'd do some close in detailed work. Taken at the National Mining Museum the plates indicate the locker numbers.
I added some split toning just to add a bit more interest.
I like this when you hit "L" but that's just me, I was back home in Kansas City for 4 days and the night before i left it snowed, ha, this is literally the church by my house, i thought the angle looked good but it's only my 2nd month taking pictures so what do i know
Arriving at the lake for a couple of days, we unpacked while thunderstorms just missed us. I had to take pictures of the amazing clouds, of course.

On the east bank of the Río de la Plata, 180km west of Montevideo, but only 50km from Buenos Aires by ferry, Colonia is an irresistibly picturesque town enshrined as a Unesco World Heritage site. Its Barrio Histórico, an irregular colonial-era nucleus of narrow cobbled streets, occupies a small peninsula jutting into the river. Pretty rows of sycamores offer protection from the summer heat, and the riverfront provides a venue for spectacular sunsets. Colonia’s charm and its proximity to Buenos Aires draw thousands of Argentine visitors; on weekends, especially in summer, prices rise and it can be difficult to find a room.
Colonia was founded in 1680 by Manuel Lobo, the Portuguese governor of Rio de Janeiro, and occupied a strategic position almost exactly opposite Buenos Aires across the Río de la Plata. The town grew in importance as a source of smuggled trade items, undercutting Spain’s jealously defended mercantile monopoly and provoking repeated sieges and battles between Spain and Portugal.
Although the two powers agreed over the cession of Colonia to Spain around 1750, it wasn’t until 1777 that Spain took final control of the city. From this time, the city’s commercial importance declined as foreign goods proceeded directly to Buenos Aires (website lonely planet).

Middle House Farm and Great Close from Street Gate by Malham Tarn. Taken with my Pentax K1, RAW processed in Affinity. Split tone and a little noise added
While clearing out my hard drive, I stumbled on some old shots I took while in Jersey. As this was my pal’s stag weekend, I’m surprised that 1) I had time to take some photos and 2) I was sober/un-hungover enough to take them.
Anyway, here is the first, with a hint of Photoshop sliding for good measure.
The Golden Jubilee Needle in St Helier, Jersey is a monument made from Burlington stone, in four different shades and in 400 separate disk-shaped pieces.
Equipment: Canon PowerShot S100 @5.2mm. ISO 80, F8, 1/1250sec
Post production: Curves adjusted (and masked) to control exposure and contrast. Converted to B&W. Split tone effect added. Sharpened.
Another shot of Battersea power station from across the river.
Similar processing to the last one... I think I prefer it to the colour version (which I may post at some point!)
I just reworked this shot I took in late November of "Metlako Falls" on Eagle Creek in the Columbia River Gorge. I had a good black and white version of this but I felt compelled to rework the image and express the vision I had when taken this shot. This shot will be one of my big prints hanging in the Sidecar 11 during the month of April and May. The party for my art showcase is on Thursday April 12th at 7pm at the Sidecar 11 on Mississippi Ave, Portland Oregon.
OK, tried some new stuff with this one. This is an HDR, first time using Photomatix. Now, from the few HDRs I've done that I've been serious about, I'm liking different qualities about them than most people. What I got out of this was increased contrast, and sharpness (you can still see the texture on the shiny rails). I'm also finding much better color saturation (in color images, of course). Forget the current style of flat, cartoonish images with halos all over the place. HDR is going to be October's project (All are invited to join me!)

Oh, almost forgot. Didn't feel like cloning due to laziness...if you happen to notice.
This photo was taken inside one of the bunkers in Fort Worden. Fort Worden was originally built as a United States Army installation to protect the Puget Sound. It is now a state park. It is located in Port Townsend, WA.
Weathered Millstone Grit rock formations at Brimham Rocks, overlooking Nidderdale in North Yorkshire, England.
"bands won't play no more"... once a thriving music venue.. 20 years of neglect and broken promises.

I still like the base photo that was the starting point for this heavily processed final result. One day I’ll come back and try and rework it more subtly ...but for now I just can’t resist those Photoshop sliders.
The location is the bridge over the River Ouse by Sharnbrook Mill, Bedfordshire. Under the bridge is a weir with a several foot drop. But in flood conditions it just becomes a raging flow of eddy currents. The person on the bridge is my good friend and fellow photographer, Andrea, who kindly volunteered to pose for me instead of taking her own photos (thanks Andrea).
Equipment: Nikon D7000, Nikkor 10-24mm @ 10mm. Hitech 10-stop filter. ISO 100, F5.6, 1 sec. Manfrotto tripod.
Post-production: A mess of slides including... tonemapping using Photomatix 4 plug-in, conversion to B&W, curves masked for non-destructive dodge/burn, blue/amber split-tone applied using gradient map. And probably some other stuff, too. No wellies were involved in post production, but probably were used in getting the in-camera shot (Sir Git: spell checker now switched off... for the time being at least)
