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!
I took this on Oct 23rd, 2021 with my D850 and Tamron 15-30 f2.8 G2 Lens at 26mm, 0.5s, f8 ISO 64 processed in LR, PS +Topaz ,and DXO

... about the fighting techniques of dinosaurs. If I were Tofu or Sethi I would be worried now but maybe she was thinking of the neighbour's dogs when she chose this book ... or of the vet (who will have the pleasure of meeting her again next Wednesday).

I was surprised that the deer just stood in the river, with me in full sight just a short distance away. Did they feel trapped with no where to go, or were they captivated by my goat, cow, sheep, horse, deer, whispering techniques?

This is a Venetian Pitcher made on the Island of Murano. It is a popular Murano technique called Millefiori (a thousand flowers) which was invented by Murano Glass masters centuries ago. It is crafted entirely by hand and is created from hundreds of unique colorful millefiori pieces fused together under high temperature in a special furnace. We were fortunate to take a tour to this glass factory and watch the masters at work. This little vase is 5" tall and 4" at it's widest part. This shot is taken looking into the pitcher.

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 love to photograph bridges especially from below which enhances the graphic lines of the bridge. A foggy morning added atmosphere to this photo of Eads Bridge over the Mississippi River at St. Louis.
Orchhâ (Inde) - L’Inde est connu pour ses lumières fabuleuses qui donnent souvent des scènes merveilleusement colorées. Mais pour en bénéficier, il faut être très matinal ou attendre les derniers rayons de soleil pour capter ces ambiances « chaudes ». Du temps de l’argentique en dehors de ces heures extrêmes, je ne faisais plus de photos. Eventuellement, je m’autorisais quelques films en noir et blanc.
Avec l’avènement de la photo numérique, ces limites techniques - même pour le merveilleux Kodachrome 64 -, ont été repoussées. Les capteurs progressent d’année en année et gagnent en dynamique. Ce qui était impossible pour la diapositive, devient envisageable avec les appareils modernes.
La preuve par l’image. La photo ci-dessus n’aurait pas eu le même rendu avec une diapositive car l’homme était dans la lumière. La logique aurait voulu que le fond soit noir, sans le moindre détail, puisque j’ai mesuré la lumière sur l’homme. Le capteur et la mesure matricielle ont fait une remarquable analyse de la scène en restituant une masse d’informations qu’un film argentique n’aurait pu faire.
The art of striking a pose
Orchhâ (India) - India is known for its fabulous lights which often result in wonderfully colorful scenes. But to benefit from it, you have to be very early in the morning or wait for the last rays of sun to capture these "warm" atmospheres. From the time of the film outside these extreme hours, I no longer took pictures. Eventually, I allowed myself a few black and white films.
With the advent of digital photography, these technical limits encountered - even by the wonderful Kodachrome 64 - have been pushed back. The sensors are improving year by year and gaining momentum. What was impossible on the slide, becomes possible with modern devices.
The proof by the image. The photo above wouldn't have looked the same on a slide because the man was in the light. Logic would have wanted the background to be black, without the slightest detail, since I measured the light on the man. The sensor and the matrix metering made a remarkable analysis of the scene, restoring a mass of information that a silver film could not have done.
Today I had a fun photo shooting session at Punggol Beach, Singapore, with my usual buddy Rajesh (rags1969), but also special guest from the US John (johopo) visiting Singapore! We had a great time! Thanks guys!
Other shots of this beach in my Punggol Set.
ND400 + Digital Blending + Photoshop photo filters. More shots using this technique in my Digital Blending Set.
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.

Technique offer us new possiblities for experimenting. I believe curiosity is present in all human beings. An internal force moves skaters to experiment things that the rest of us, we can not dream of .In my case I enjoied exploring what could result from the use of different edition programs together, "eh voilà" the outcome!
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.)

photography tip 01: Flip your photo
Flipping your photo horizontally when working on the post processing phase of a photo allows your eye to constantly seek and spot the best framing possible, as well as remove anything that might alter the composition. It's a technique i use a LOT whenever i work on a concept art piece in photoshop too. to the point where i took the habit of flipping my canvas every 40 seconds or so. It's a bit like giving your eyes a fresh start on your image, every several seconds. the best way is to bind a key or create a shortcut in order to have a permanent easy access to the horizontal flip. i actually use the vertical one too!

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)
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.
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.
I've been a fan of _alariko's stuff o Instagram for a while now, and this one really caught my eye. So I thought hey, why not have a go at making it. So I did, and a month (or more, I lost track) later here we are.
I'm actually really proud of it ngl, I feel like I've really achieved something. I used a whole variety of techniques I'd never normally use, and I think it really pays off. Blender was a pain as always, but I learned some new things, so that was nice.
I should also thank the folks from MemeLUG, a discord server I'm in. They helped a lot with various bits, it's always good to have a second, third etc opinion when building something like this.
I'm fully prepared for this to flop, as it's probably not what you'd expect from my account, but it made me happy while I was building it (not rendering it, that was a thankless task) and that's what counts.
Thanks to everyone that views and comments on my images - very much appreciated.

Second picture of the series Hat Stone.
(Yes, believe it or not it is the same place, but from a different point of view towards the East and the great stone to the backlight. As explained in the previous picture, the place is very difficult to control light)
Dawn on the El Sombrerico Beach, several minutes before sunrise.
The name of this amazing beach is due to the huge rock shaped like a magician's hat that juts into the sea.
There are not many photographs of the area, may be because access to this beach is a little difficult, so after driving about 20 minutes fully night by a bad gravel road, you reach this cove by small cliffs headlamp in my head.
For this shot, I was lucky clouds drew lines in the sky and I could compose from that angle.
Moon also appears to the center-right of the frame due to missing several minutes for the sun to make his way out on the horizon.
To reach this picture in one unique Raw, I combined a four steps neutral filter and black card technique.
I hope you like it. Have a nice Tuesday. :)

In two weeks time I'll be off to Japan again for our annual White & Wild Japan tour.
Many years ago, I started to experiment with off-camera flash in an effort to create truly original images of the often photographed Japanese snow monkeys. At the time, no one else was doing this, so it seemed like a good thing to do. And it was. Over the years I've created an entire series using this technique, and it eventually won me the Grand Title 'International Nature Photographer Of The Year' at the International Photography Awards. I'm still very proud of that achievement, but it also taught me a valuable lesson: it pays off if you try to be different.
We're still in the early stages of the digital revolution, but you can already see how it has changed photography. Just look at this website for instance. Someone posts a picture on 500px, that picture becomes very popular, and soon after you will see a lot more pictures taken at that same location or of that same subject. Locations that were once exotic have turned into cliches within a decade. If you're the exploring type and/or love hiking, you don't have to worry - people probably won't be able to find your locations and copy what you're doing. But the moment you decide to photograph a common subject or a well know location, it's good to know that you have to put in some extra work to make your images stand out from the rest. That's not easy, but in the end, it will be a good thing for both yourself as an artist and for the quality of photography in general.

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.
Leaf, snow rocks. Created 4 layers, each layer was a different color. Flipped the 4 layers around so each layer was in a different position. Combined the four together and this is the result. Very easy to do. Try it on shots that don't turn out 100%. You'll be pleased with the results.
Excerpt from artsandculture.google.com:
Houses at Argenteuil
Returning from London, where he had retired during the Franco-Prussian War, Monet settled in Argenteuil on the Seine, not far from Paris. Renoir came here to work together, and soon Sisley and Caillebotte also came. In Argenteuil, impressionism emerged as a group style. Monet and Renoir developed their fine line technique with which they tried to reproduce what the friends themselves called ›la sensation première‹. For them it was about pure impression.
Monet and his friends quickly painted on the spot. In this situation, the motif was of secondary importance to them, maybe it shouldn't even come to the fore. In this work, Monet depicted some of the newly built terraced houses in Argenteuil, which have been connected to nearby Paris by a railway since 1851. The simplicity of the motif is underlined by the simple parallel structure of the picture - meadow, row of houses, sky, no views, no space. The light green meadow with the blooming poppies, the moving sky, even the gray of the house walls and the red of the tiled roofs are reproduced with all the more delicacy.
