But a whole fetishism has grown up around the technique of photography. Technique should be so conceived and adapted as to induce a way of seeing things, preferably in essentials, excluding the effects of gratuitous virtuosity and other ineptitudes. Technique is important in that we have to master it, but it is the result that counts.

Gipsy, the little kestrel from Schloss Harburg trains his wings. Even if he can't fly yet, he keeps holding them up in the wind to feel the air currents that will soon carry him up into the sky.
Soon he will be hovering over the fields in this stance, keeping an eye out for unwary mice.
By the way, kestrels are the only birds of prey (that I know of) that can fly on the spot because of their low weight, the shape of theit feathers and their special flight technique. This technique is called windhovering flight. Buzzards sometimes try it too, but none masters it as perfectly as the kestrel.
Gipsy, der kleine Turmfalke von Schloss Harburg trainiert seine Flügel. Auch wenn er noch nicht fliegen kann so hält er sie doch immer wieder in den Wind um die Luftströhmungen zu fühlen, die ihn bald in den Himmel tragen werden.
Bald wird er in dieser Haltung über den Felder schweben um nach unvorsichtigen Mäusen Ausschau zu halten.
Turmfalken sind übrigens auf Grund ihres geringen Gewichtes, der Form ihrer Federn und ihrer besonderen Flugtechnik die einzigen Raubvögel (von denen ich weiß) die auf der Stelle fliegen können. Diese Technik nennt sich Rüttelflug. Auch Bussarde versuchen sich manchmal darin, doch keiner beherrscht es so perfekt wie der Turmfalke.

but you won't hear a peep. I'll paint my smile, keep the cheer in my tone. "I'm fine" is my daily affirmation, and one day I'll speak it into existence.

Focus Pulling is a technique of adjusting focus from out of focus to tack sharp during a firework explosion over 1 to 3 seconds. similar physical operation as zooming during exposure only you use the manual focus ring instead of the zoom ring.

Sa technique de pêche repose sur l'affût, perché sur une branche au-dessus de l'eau. Il repère ses proies en agitant la tête de droite à gauche, puis soit pique directement, la tête la première, depuis son perchoir, soit effectue un bref vol stationnaire avant de plonger. Il revient souvent se poser sur son perchoir dont il se servira pour assommer sa proie avant de la lancer en l'air pour la gober tête la première.
His fishing technique is based on the lookout, perched on a branch above the water. It locates its prey by waving its head from side to side, then either stings directly, head first, from its perch, or performs a brief hover before diving. It often returns to land on its perch which it will use to stun its prey before throwing it in the air to swallow it head first.

As usual, another night of star trails - but this time I wanted a blend of techniques in a single frame.
I added a bit of life to this abandoned Dodge bus using basic light-painting to bring out the interior glow and highlight the details.
The foreground (bus + landscape) is made from 8 stacked exposures to reduce noise:
ISO 800 / f/2.8 / 75 sec
The star trails are created from 1,200 photos, combined with StarStax:
ISO 800 / f/2.8 / 5 sec / 5 sec interval
In total, the sky exposure adds up to 3 hours and 20 minutes, until clouds finally rolled in and I had to stop shooting.

The quarantine period has forced many of us to experiment and try new things, whether this is with cooking, painting, meeting friends/family on line or gardening. Well for this week's challenge I learned two new techniques; a first was light painting, and the second was to use cloning, which I used to fill the frame and recoloured. Work very much in progress as you can see :-)) My other effort, is next on my stream.
Stay safe, stay healthy and share the kindness.
Not the greatest, it's heavily cropped! These two were at it for about 20 minutes! Eye gouging, slashing and disembowelment are a few of their speciality techniques... not to be messed with!
Another edit of my Rosette data, using different techniques and colour. This time I used StarNet++ in the editing for the nebula data. Edits in Photoshop. Nikon D810A, 600mm f/4, ISO800, 600 second subs, 25 subs, DSS stacking. No darks, bias etc.
A wattle weaved fence seemingly sitting there for no specific purpose (from what I could see). This wattle technique was apparently commonly used to make fences and hurdles for enclosing ground or handling livestock. The technique goes back all the way to Neolithic times.
Experimenteren met Cyanotype
Cyanotype is een van de oudste, niet-toxische, fotografische druktechnieken uit 1842 die met zonlicht (UV) diepblauwe (Pruisisch blauw) afdrukken maakt op papier, textiel etc. Door voorwerpen of negatieven op behandeld materiaal te leggen en te belichten met UV licht (zon of UV-lamp), ontstaan er unieke witte silhouetbeelden zonder donkere kamer.
Cyanotype is one of the oldest, non-toxic, photographic printing techniques from 1842 that uses sunlight (UV) to create deep blue (Prussian blue) prints on paper, textiles, etc. By placing objects or negatives on treated material and exposing them to UV light (sun or UV lamp), unique white silhouette images are created without a darkroom.
For group theme 52 Weeks of 2016.
Theme: Astrophotography /night photography - technique.
I was out in the cold trying to get some good stars and then the clouds came. later the moon peeped out between the clouds, so I've combined two night shots here.
Mixed techniques. Cyanotype on Chinese Solar paper and stamping on Japanese mulberry paper with fibres. 3,5h in Led light.
The feeding technique most commonly employed by Snowy Egrets on the bayou is to wade near the reeds on the bank and stir up the water with their legs and feet, snatching whatever might shake loose. So this bird is thinking outside the box a bit in using the suspended branch as a fishing pole and attacking from above. More unusual, this is a first-year bird, distinguished by the yellow streak on the back of its legs. Where did it learn to feed like that?
I encountered this one at the end of an already productive morning as I got to the eastern edge of Bay Area Park, nearing my takeout point. Watching as it caught fish after fish, I was about a half hour late in deploying my own lunchtime feeding technique.
Refining my comet shooting technique after the dramas of last time. I used a Nikon D810A with a Sigma Art 135mm lens at f/2, ISO200, 27 x 30 second shots during and beyond astro twilight. The camera was on a ZWO AM5, I used the ZWO ASIAIR Mini to polar align, then get my framing where I was happy with it, and ran the autofocus routine with a ZWO EAF connected to the lens. Once that was done I ran unguided in continuous exposure mode with a wired shutter release that locks on, while I shot landscape astro comet shots with the other camera. For processing I used APP, I didn't do any comet alignment. I removed much of the astro twilight colour from the sky and with more subs the satellites are almost gone. The artifact on the bottom right is from the ground getting in the frame! Final processing in Photoshop.
Last light delight...well sort of. Going through some reject boxes I found this very dark slide. I do not recall the circumstances as I can only find this one slide of this train. I think this was a last second cloud bang and we got jumped this guy on our way back toward Toronto after chasing an earlier westbound with BIGs. With my limited PS techniques, it is somewhat presentable in this forum, but it wouldn't make the cut in an old-fashioned slide show.

Panoramic photography is a technique of photography, using specialized equipment or software, that captures images with horizontally elongated fields of view. It is sometimes known as wide format photography. The term has also been applied to a photograph that is cropped to a relatively wide aspect ratio, like the familiar letterbox format in wide-screen video.
While there is no formal division between "wide-angle" and "panoramic" photography, "wide-angle" normally refers to a type of lens, but using this lens type does not necessarily make an image a panorama. An image made with an ultra wide-angle fisheye lens covering the normal film frame of 1:1.33 is not automatically considered to be a panorama. An image showing a field of view approximating, or greater than, that of the human eye – about 160° by 75° – may be termed panoramic. This generally means it has an aspect ratio of 2:1 or larger, the image being at least twice as wide as it is high. The resulting images take the form of a wide strip. Some panoramic images have aspect ratios of 4:1 and sometimes 10:1, covering fields of view of up to 360 degrees. Both the aspect ratio and coverage of field are important factors in defining a true panoramic image.
The moon lit Factory Butte as a jet passed overhead. The Butte is located near Hanksville, Utah. We wanted shoot at night again with different techniques but too much cloud cover and 35 mile an hour winds have deterred us.
A photo technique using a ring flash and a very small apperature which makes the background very dark or even black. It adds a lot of drama and beauty to the image.

This is part of Tilden Park in the Berkeley Hills. Beautiful spot for walks. This was taken several months ago, but I'm revisiting tree and forest shots now that I've developed techniques to process them that I'm excited about! :)
A facade technique for corners. The important part is this, which may be hard to source. The offset is a half-plate on each side of the dark bley block. I would love to see a solution that is solid and only uses in-production parts.
The technique I've used for this picture I have called 'Dual Motion'. As with some of my earlier abstracts I used shaped card suspended in front of a black background and spun over a long exposure. I developed the idea further by replacing the black background with a mirror which rotated behind the card shape, creating a constantly changing reflection of the environment. The combination of the constantly changing subject and back ground provides a unique image with every shot.
Commissioned planter-boxes with integrated seating awaiting the truck to be taken away and installed at MONA, Hobart.
Fabricated of Core 10 steel by Tasmanian blacksmith, Pete Matilla, the seats are furnished with Spotted Gum (Corymbia maculata), that has been charred with the oxy torch, wire-brushed and waxed.
The steel has been sandblasted, allowed to rust for several days before being torched and waxed as well.
Was a real joy being involved with the project.

In this image I used the long exposure technique. I wanted the viewer to get a sense of the rushing water that these bears stand in for long periods at a time. The problem with long exposure and wildlife photography is that wildlife rarely sits still. I had to time the bears movement just right to get this shot.
