Shortly after this capture the sun broke through. Lee little stopper for smoother water. And I almost forgot 3 stops hard grad for the sky just above the horizon line. Thank you Paul for sharing some of your sublime techniques!
No HDR or blended image... they are taken from just one shot.
S/15 F/4 ISO/1000 16mm+2EV+Black Card Technique AM3:43
Created for and featured in "The Kreative People" Group's Spring Gallery retrospective of my work.
Taking the "stellated extreme mirroring" technique further out by moving the image into asymmetry. The natural tendency when working with geometry is to go symmetrical. It seems like the right thing to do. Here I decided, as with Pano-Sabotage, to break the rules and give the form more life by making it's composition less regimented.
Every element is from a Pano-Sabotaged image. My goal with PS is to take it as far into Art as I can, even to the point of the medium almost losing it's identifying markers. One always has to see how far one can go.

Continuing on with a new technique - the creation of abstract imagery through heavy pixelation and right-angled effects application.
Zoom in and it's utterly abstract, pull away and a recognizable image starts to form. Might that say something about quanta and the everyday world we see ?
The original digital SLR shot was taken several years ago and was, again, an outtake from a series that was posted back then as SOOC shots. In truth, I'm sifting through my throw-aways for potentials in this new approach. Waste not, want not ...

So many times I see these small woodpeckers and I try to remember which is the Downy Woodpecker and which is the Hairy Woodpecker. They are so similar at first glance. So I bought a really good bird book to help me identify the birds that will be returning to our area soon. The book is beautiful to browse through and it has me excited for the new birding season. I found out that this guy is the Downy Woodpecker. I will concentrate on trying to spot the two main differences to tell them apart. This guy has a shorter beak than the Hairy. Plus, the Downy has these black spots on the white tail feathers which you can just tell on the one image.
This brings me to my next goal in photography. I just deleted about 500 images from my photo stream this week. I will get rid of more. My work has changed and it has even improved over the years I have been on Flickr so there are images I do not need to keep online anymore. There are many I can even improve with better editing techniques I have learned and then I can replace those old images with newly edited images. My bird album is one of the first albums I will reorganize, I do not want to just collect bird images. I want to try for better bird images. I admire all the wildlife photographers on Flickr. I am not as dedicated to capturing all the amazing images they take. This is a simple practice for me to get to know my camera better and to try to keep improving while learning more about the world around me. Happy Wing Wednesday!
ps. There was a branch right in front of the bird which gave it a faded patch on his body. My editing skills are not yet good enough to "fix that". lol
Trike Harley-Davidson. Of course I like more than the usual two-wheeled bikes, but we must also think about those who are already difficult to cope with such a technique. I remembered the movie "Sons of Anarchy": father - of red traveled on a three-wheeled bike. And our Putin, once came to the meeting with bikers in Sevastopol on this Trike Harley-Davidson.

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.

A technique i have been experimenting with of late is day time long exposures which creates this lovely effect on moving water. It is a skill which is probably old hat to many of you seasoned photographers but for me it is undiscovered country.
This is the River Dart West near Wistmans Wood and the day was a typical Dartmoor day, moody light, low cloud and heavy rain.
I was on my way home from work and decided to go via the Moors instead of the usual A38 route and take the opportunity for a long walk. Yes, I got soaked again...I need to find another hobby that keeps me dry.
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!!

I’ve been wanting to try the Pep Ventosa technique of ‘in the round’ for a few years and have finally been able to do the post processing now that I have a more capable computer. I’m sure most of you are familiar with this artist and technique but for those that aren't… Pep Ventosa, who is originally from Barcelona, Spain created this idea. He's known to play with the perception of reality. This technique is comprised of multiple exposures by moving the camera around a central subject and then combining those exposures as layers in Photoshop. The end result provides an impressionistic looking image.
I used 19 shots for this image and was fun trying something new and relatively easy to post process.

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.

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.
Vue sur le Mont Bégo (2872 m alt.) depuis le second des deux lacs jumeaux près de la voie sacrée dans le Val de Fontanalba. Le refuge appartient au Parc National du Mercantour et son usage est réservé au personnel du Parc. Il y a un autre refuge ouvert aux randonneurs. Ce site (connu sous le terme de "voie sacrée") est réputé pour ses gravures rupestres datant de l'âge du bronze et dont la datation exacte est controversée. Beaucoup d'archéologues pensent qu'il s'agit du bronze ancien (2500 à 3000 ans avant J.C.)

We have a special challenge at We’re Here! today: “It's a Saturday ... so today, let's spend a few minutes (or hours) showing off one of your favorite special photographic techniques. And, in your photo's description, explain what you did to get the intended (?!) result.”
Our images are then to be foisted upon our unsuspecting host What’s Your Technique?
I love creating images made out of several blended photographs. The elements come from my archives, recent or old, and are usually from several separate locations and different times. It’s great fun to enter these in contests when they fit the theme – and the contest themes themselves often serve as the inspiration for the image created. I don’t often “win” the contests, but that is hardly the point. Just as with the “We’re Here” themes, it is the challenge and creative work that causes me to spend my precious hours doing this. I have been wanting to create a new texture for a while now. These take me more time than seems reasonable – so today’s the day!
I combined a snap of my daughter’s kitchen wall in afternoon sunlight and a sandstone wall at a Napa winery, ran the result through Manga 5 Art Studio for some spray painting, and tortured that in “Paint Shop Pro” with blurring, layering, contrast adjustments, and a software-generated “straw texture”, until I couldn’t possibly remember how to do it again. Then I blended several different layers of it in different opacities and saturations with my subject – taken at the Idaho Springs Heritage Museum. The originals of my new texture and the owl shot are in the comment box below. I altered the dates to the past so they will “fall out” of my current photostream.
And, voilà! I have to fess up to falling into the “a few hours” category of Hereio today! I don’t have a contest in mind, but Spotlight Your Best has a “Bird Life” theme this month, so I will put it there.
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.
Esta garceta ( Egretta garzetta) baila sobre el agua tratando de adivinar en qué lugar se ha escondido el pez que persigue. Como no detecta movimiento, es bastante probable que su objetivo esté enterrado en el fango, así que es el momento de sacarlo con la técnica del pisotón.
________________
This little egret (Egretta garzetta) dances across the water, trying to guess where the fish it's chasing is hiding. Since it doesn't detect movement, it's quite likely its target is buried in the mud, so it's time to dig it out with the stomp technique.
An experiment to see if lens zoom technique would work with my Lee 10 stop filter. Taken at the waterfall at Nabt Mill Woods, North Wales.

"It’s such a simple technique, but I’m honestly not sure I’ve ever seen anyone mix dark bluish gray and light bluish gray to produce the illusion of wet and dry stone before. I certainly haven’t seen it done as well as Hubba Blöoba accomplishes it here."

Here's my first build for RebelLUG's annual competition, Vignweek. The prompt was "ancient." Let me know what you think in the comments!
Excerpt from the plaque:
Paper Crafting Technique of Lion Heads
Lion head paper crafting has a long history in Hong Kong. The birthday celebrations held for deities in villages are usually accompanied by dancing lions or other auspicious animals. They worshipped at shrines and temples to report to the deities, and hence lion head paper crafting emerged. The lion head costume comes in Foshan 佛山裝, Heshan 鶴山裝 and “Fo-He” 佛鶴裝 styles. Some craftmen depict the lion heads in different colours to resemble historical figures from the Three Kingdoms such as Liu Bei 劉備 (yellow face with multicoloured patterns and a white beard), Guan Yu 關羽 (red face with a black beard), Zhang Fei 張飛 (black-and-white face, green nose with a black beard), Zhao Yun 起趙雲 (green face with a black beard), Huang Zhong 黃忠 (with yellow as the main tone). Lion head paper crafting comprises four processes, namely crafting the frame, mounting the paper, colouring and decorating 紮作，撲紙，寫色，裝上裝飾配件。
I had heard about a technique quite a while ago and I have been meaning to try it one day, it consists of taking an object, photographing it multiple times all around it and then blending the layers in varying opacity in photoshop.
This is my first attempt - 12 photos taken around this nice little pot of lavender, blended in PS. I've then added some textures to finish the look. The left-hand image is my base image or starting point as a comparison.
The technique can be used on outdoor objects as well like trees, statues, fountains, buildings etc, etc...

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!
Intha Lake fishermen, renowned for their distinctive technique, navigate the waterways with a remarkable leg-rowing style. Perched at the stern of their slender wooden boats, these skilled fishermen balance on one leg while the other is wrapped around the oar. With a synchronized motion, they propel the boat forward, their arms free to manage the intricacies of the conical nets. This unique technique, evolved over generations, allows them to navigate the lake's shallow waters, where reeds and floating gardens abound. Their dexterity extends to the handling of the conical nets, an artful craft passed down through ancestral knowledge. With precision and grace, they manipulate these nets using a circular motion, skillfully casting them into the water to ensnare the abundant fish that thrive in Inle Lake's rich ecosystem. The harmony between their rowing and net handling embodies a tradition that not only sustains their livelihood but also stands as a testament to their cultural heritage and intimate relationship with the lake.

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.
