Now that Land Impact limits have been increased, I can finally rez my alchemist study and persuade my passion: search for philosopher's stone and turn lead to gold. (I've read in ancient manuscript that it involves PBR magic)

It's been a fair few years since this "cyclotouriste" has owned or regularly ridden skinny tired, fenderless "race" bikes but, the Urago gives a fast, responsive yet comfortable ride. It has been the go-to machine for day rides for much of the summer...
Quick value study sketch. I think this may become one of my next watercolors. This was a bright, sunny day and the shapes of these barns creates a scene that caught my eye immediately.
Hopefully coming soon . . .
Nature Color Studies.
Yet again „the walk“, I guess you know every single tree as well as I do right now ... BUT: I tried few things with the rendering, both while taking the shots and when processing them. When shooting I used a Kenko Nostaltone Orange, which is basically a diffusor and warming filter combined. That's where the color and softness comes from. I used a zoom lens all the way open, which gives vignette and fall off and a bit of additional softness. when proscessing them in LR and PS I payed attention to „fill the highlights with color“ and control the highlights in general. There was a beautiful „soft sunshine“ today (partially cloudy), and the light was so nice I hope I could capture that a little bit at least.

Really only looking for two things with this one: first, what fun could I have with camera movements (camera angled down, rear standard returned to vertical to keep trees from converging, but front standard with exaggerated forward tilt, to throw the top 2/3 of the frame out of focus; and front swing, to shift plane of focus roughly along the front of the open shed; the result is some weird geometry on the shed roof, exaggerating the apparent convergence of the roof edges). And second, how much detail from the shed interior could I retain. Altogether, I'm pleased with the result.

I hope that everyone realizes that the middle photo has been squashed and my thighs aren't really that fat nor my feet that long! The two end photo are unaltered. And yes, my calfs really are that big. That's from years of racewalking.

Camera movements: front shift and front fall to adjust composition; left swing to adjust plane of focus to approach alignment with the markers; front tilt to soften upper reaches of the trees.
Polarizer used to reduce the glare on the road - in truth, it maybe reduced the road by half a stop, which was less than I'd anticipated.
Not a keeper, but I think it does show what I need to work on: I need to be more mindful of the conditions; I need to adjust the composition a bit to make the markers stand out more; and I need to work on my camera technique - this one is a bit sloppy.
Utrecht University Library. Two years since I last visited it, it still is a great place for studying and working.
Sunset colors study with normal exposure shot compares to long exposure. The normal shot with a Lee 1.2 GND soft edge filter --> result with correct exposure in the shadow area, no hard shadow and lost details. The long exposure with the Hoya 9 stop ND filter in result with under exposure shadow area in the duck pier area. However, since the image was bit under exposure that brings more colors in the sky. That is one of hint to take the sunset colors shot for more colors. also the colors has to do with the time changes during the sunset time. The long exposure could be at the peak with colors.
There is no right or wrong method to take the landscape photos or sunset color photos. It is all up to you how to control your exposure for the color tone. On the other hand, to use the GND soft edge filter will be a big help. There is an other thing to keep it in mind for different stop GND filter to create different effect. The more stop filter will bring more dramatic effect. IMO.
It's always encouraging to see university students working hard, studying, which many at Berkeley spend most of their time doing (or they won't keep up!). One hears about so much negative behavior in the 'news reports.' The reality is that most students work very hard.
Some study suggests that frequent consumption of nuts (including peanuts) may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease for women. Nuts are high in fat, but most of the fatty acids are unsaturated. Therefore, nuts can be included as part of a healthy diet.
This is another picture shot in the new workshop of my friend Durga in Varanasi (Benaras).
Those studies in progress pinned on a wall are part of a new topic about hijras, those members of "the third gender", neither man nor woman.
Durga Charan Das is a young painter living in the "City of Lights", he is painting amazing bodies making love or sometimes alone but always with sensuality and strength, with something special that reminds a lot of Eugene Delacroix's work...
Durga has already won several prestigious awards in India and now exhibitions of his work are starting in Europe.
For more explanations concerning hijras you may see those pictures
What good boys - taking the time to do some studying.
