I am currently working on some new processing techniques as well as trying to let go of others all the while still learning new things every day that get trialed into work flows and discarded usually without the viewer noticing any course corrections. Despite what is ongoing in the world I am still trying to be a person that will try to make lemonade out of the shitty lemons thrown at us so will use this time to work on being a better me and also I am hoping to emerge from this with some new skills. I hope that everyone has a great New Year and we all have a better year in 2022!

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.
Le succès de ses pêches est très sensible aux conditions climatiques, la pluie troublant la surface, ou la turbidité de l'eau rendant le repérage des proies plus difficile.
Le martin-pêcheur régurgite des pelotes de réjection, dont une partie constitue la couche sur laquelle les œufs seront déposés au fond du terrier.

His fishing technique is based on the lookout, perched on a branch above the water. He spots his prey by waving his head from right to left, then either spades directly, head first, from his perch, or performs a brief hovering before diving. He often comes back on his perch which he will use to knock out his prey before throwing it in the air to swallow head first.
The success of its fisheries is very sensitive to the climatic conditions, the rain disturbing the surface, or the turbidity of the water making the identification of the preys more difficult.
The kingfisher regurgitates balls of rejection, part of which is the layer on which the eggs will be deposited at the bottom of the burrow.
It's my first attempt at an interweaved strips technique. My choice of subject may not have been the best...I think maybe the image should have had more going on...but it was fun to do despite being a bit tedious, and I'm happy with the result.
Thanks to Flickr contact Steven Hromnak for the inspiration. He is a master at the weave technique, and recently provided a link to a how-to tutorial with one of his images. You can check out his incredibly cool and complex double-weave image here: www.flickr.com/photos/gaphiker/49800945368/in/dateposted/

Sunset over Shitten Craig off the coastline of Portknockie on Scotland's Moray Firth.
This is a blend of 4 images shot at different apertures as an experiment to achieve different exposures without changing the shutter speed. The grass is at f/8, The rocks and sea are at f/11, the sky is at f/16 and the sun is at f/22. Generally speaking, I feel this was a success and makes for a more seamless blend. I fully intend to work more on this technique and see if I can improve it further.
Augsburgs historische Wasserwirtschaft gilt als herausragendes Zeugnis der Geschichte der Wassernutzung und der Wasserwirtschaft. Eine Auswahl 22 historischer baulicher Anlagen zur Fließgewässernutzung und zur Trinkwasserversorgung Augsburgs vom 15. bis ins frühe 20. Jahrhundert wurde am 6. Juli 2019 unter der Bezeichnung „Das Augsburger Wassermanagement-System“ zum UNESCO-Welterbe erklärt. (wikipedia)

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.

I get to observe a number of birds while they are foraging and either I've been asleep or have never seen a Little Blue Heron employ the old toe tapping technique of the Snowy Egret! This guy was doing just that and the minute the poor hapless fish made a move to escape the toe it ended up in the beak!!! Photo was taken on Horsepen Bayou!!

This weeks Snap Happy theme of 'Fruit' was chosen by Gaz.
Given I got stung by a bee while trying to make this image, I thought I should post it even though I am not totally convinced by it.
I had the idea of doing the PEP Ventosa technique on the fruit bowl where you walk around it and take images in the round as a set of multiple exposures. Hence I was in the backyard in bare feet, walking around the fruit bowl which was propped up on a cardboard box with velvet draped around it. Pretty stupid when I am allergic to bees and generally swell up like an elephant. We got the sting out without the sac breaking I think so I got away with a localised swelling that hasn't spread.
Anyway, the multiple exposures didn't work so I used just one image and had fun playing with it.

The Eurasian spoonbill (Platalea leucorodia), or common spoonbill, is a wading bird of the ibis and spoonbill family Threskiornithidae. The genus name Platalea is from Latin and means "broad", referring to the distinctive shape of the bill, and leucorodia is from Ancient Greek leukerodios "spoonbill", itself derived from leukos, "white" and erodios "heron". In England it was traditionally known as the "shovelard", a name later used for the northern shoveler.
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.
Local Muong girls harvesting tea leaves, Long Coc, Vietnam
Tea production is a cornerstone of Vietnam’s economy, with the country ranking as the 7th largest tea producer globally, and supporting the livelihoods of over 400,000 families, particularly in rural and mountainous areas. Workers rise with the sun to handpick around 15 kilograms of tea leaves each morning, ensuring freshness and quality. Beyond its economic impact, traditional tea cultivation and processing techniques, passed down through generations, reflect Vietnam’s rich cultural heritage and the dedication of its people.
Plant ornament is the most widespread ornament after geometric, it is characterized by its favorite motifs, and the latter are different in different countries, at different times. Plant ornament, in comparison with other types, provides the greatest opportunities for creating a variety of motifs, execution techniques, for an original interpretation of form. Plant ornament uses numerous forms of plants: leaves, flowers, fruits, taken together or separately. This is an artistic reworking of various forms of the plant world. In the hands of an ornamental artist, the original forms, scales, colors change and are subordinated according to the laws of symmetry. In stylization, all typical features of the plant are enhanced in accordance with its character, and the particular or accidental are removed or weakened. Often these changes are so significant that the original material is transformed beyond recognition. The most common plant forms since ancient times include: acanthus, lotus, papyrus, palms, hops, laurel, grapevine, ivy, oak.
Орнамент купольного пілону. Храм на честь ікони Божої Матері «Печерська». Скит Києво-Печерської Лаври.
Рослинний орнамент - це найпоширеніший орнамент після геометричного, для нього характерні свої улюблені мотиви, причому останні різні в різних країнах, у різні часи. Рослинний орнамент у порівнянні з іншими його видами надає найбільші можливості для створення різноманітних мотивів, прийомів виконання, для оригінального трактування форми.
Рослинний орнамент використовує численні форми рослин: листя, квіти, плоди, взяті разом чи окремо. Це художня переробка різноманітних форм рослинного світу. У руках художника-орнаменталіста початкові форми, масштаби, колір змінюються і підпорядковуються за законами симетрії.
При стилізації посилюються відповідно до характеру рослини всі типові особливості її та видаляється або послаблюється окреме або випадкове. Часто ці зміни настільки значні, що початковий матеріал перетворюється до невпізнанності.
До найпоширеніших рослинних форм з найдавніших часів відносяться: акант, лотос, папірус, пальми, хміль, лавр, виноградна лоза, плющ, дуб.
I continue to have fun temporarily with pieces from the PaB without my stock pieces. Of them little can be done but when there's only a plastic Cup... The desire to build immediately increased. Can the pressure is gone and the duty to do something unimaginable without giving the abyss pieces. Oh well - soon I finish moving and will be content better :-)
After some nights spent to learn and practice new imaging techniques, I propose a version of my first attempt to Andromeda Galaxy, less harsh, more realistic and detailed and (I hope) nicer to see.

This is a 30 second exposure of a tram passing through Piccadilly Station in Manchester. I was hoping to capture at least a little detail in the tram so I really must work on my technique.
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.
Elastic Band Trick
Other People have done this before, some may have better techniques than this but this is the one I use. Feel free anyone to use this and I'm always open to questions and suggestions etc. Thanks for reading and enjoy!
Elastic Band Trick
The detailed picture step guide to get positioning of the arms on Lego Figures using one small elastic band.
I used small medical scissors because they were pointed and curved to get into the arm hole and the loop of the band to pull it out the other arm hole. You can use pretty much anything with those qualities. (Curved and pointed)
Home-style Filipino foods can be found ready to eat along open-air, sidewalk restaurants in most neighborhoods throughout the Philippines. Large kettles full of white rice provide the main staple which is used to fill ones plate. One or two entrees, similar to the ones shown in this picture top the rice. The woman in this picture rests before the lunch crowd arrives to eat.
I chose to display this image with a selective color technique. the black and white conversion brings out the textures of the kitchen and the selective color brings focus to the foods.

Dottinous is impressed by Zero's ability to take his facial skin off and put it back on, and recalls a time when her aunt Goblina tried the same technique for beauty, with not as lucky results.
Thanks to everyone that views and comments on my images - very much appreciated.

My entry for the microscale category in Brickscalibur 😀. Had quite a bit of fun with this one, not at all frustrating to place all those tiny trees…or the waterfall…😂. Hope you like it!
About the only remnants from this old gold mine is the magnificent chimney that still stands proud after 158 years.
I tried an entirely new technique with the star trails this time.
15 x 2min sky images blended in Starstax and then processed to create the star spikes.
3 x 1 min foreground images blended.
Took about 2 hrs to capture and 3hrs to process.
Hope you enjoy it! 😁
It takes a year for one root division to produce hundreds of flowers in a dome shape by unique technique of pinching and training. This original style was developed in Shinjuku Gyoen and set a precedent for the style of "thousand bloom" chrysanthemums that are seen throughout Japan. (First created in 1884)
There are various events that are related to the nature and history of Shinjuku Gyoen throughout the year, such as the special exhibition of cherry blossoms in spring, the chrysanthemum exhibition and orchid exhibition, Noh performance and a photo contest.
Once again i return to my Canadian trip with one shot taken from the first terrace above the Cerulean Lake in front of the Sunburst Peak. Was a very cloudy and cold day and after a couple hours inside the lodge for a warm cup of the. After the lodge has kicked out all the guests we have start to hike up in the direction of the Nub peak. The conditions were not so promising was very cloudy with some weak snowing.
We were a bit undecided than we have bet and have trusted in the luck. We have continued to hike until we have reached the first terrace above the Sunburst lake and Cerulean lake when the magic has started once again. Thanks to the blessing of the "Black God" of Assiniboine ( I will explain in future a post what is the Black God... Now I know is the key to get the best conditions ever in that place) We have got a very powerful ray of light that has broken the clouds and at the same time the snow has continued to fall... well i have no words to describe that magic, I think one of the best conditions I have ever seen in my life...Watching straight into the sun every snow flake was like fiery sparking.
This shot has been edited with the techniques explained in my processing videos available here: www.enricofossati.it/instruction
