... 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).
Posted for the Happy Caturday theme "Books".
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/

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 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.

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.

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.

Yeh, I know I know. I am back after a long time. Busy life doesn't make things easier. But this is an image I wanted to make for many years. Somehow never got the right conditions. In fact this time also the condition was not the best. I wanted to have a bit more snow on the mountains. So the hunt probably continues.
With the earth warming up in rapid speed; a perfect shot with more snow will become more and more difficult. Because the snow will not stay on the ground for long. So one need to plan this shot just after a heavy snowfall. But that minimizes the probability of getting a good sky. However it also keeps the challenge and excuse to go back to this beautiful village some more time. :)
I knew about the exact location for many years. But this time when I reached there; to my surprise I saw a temporary safety barrier next to the road. Large enough to cover the view. Surely done for good intention as this road becomes a ski route in winter and this place has an open fall on a turn. And probably it is not that safe in winter to stand there with camera on tripod either. Skiers will not see you next to the turn and can hit you and the camera and in the process all three can get damaged.
But I needed to take the image. So I just went up the hill next to it. Luckily there was no snow at that part as it wouldn't have been possible to go up if there was snow. It was too steep to go up with loose snow. We used the age old Himalayan technique to stand on the base of the grass to get grip on a steep hill. As always I was there 30 minutes in advance. So had plenty of time to set up everything. Was really lucky with a lovely sky.
I still wish I had a bit more snow. But maybe next time. Till them; I will stay happy with this one as a prize for that evening.
A special thanks to my son for accompany me there. We spend the time waiting for the sunset playing chees. So the time passed quickly. He also enjoyed the little adventure and gathered the experience that is so important to have while going off route on the mountain.
If you are interested on the natural beauty of the location, I did make a little video that might interest you here.
Please have a look at my website www.avisekhphotography.com for all my recent works.
Have a nice weekend.
Hope you will enjoy the picture.

This is a silver gelatin print with elements of chemigram and lumen printing from my project "Traces".
”Traces” is a series that explores the transformation of identity over time. It delves into the fluid nature of "the self," questioning how much of who we are is shaped by our past versus the influence of fate. Through this work, I sought to deconstruct the familiar image we recognize as ourselves and rebuild it through a variety of alternative techniques. I employed methods such as manipulating the negative, experimenting with alternative chemical processes in the darkroom, and incorporating mixed media on the final prints. The portraits, captured on film first and finally printed on paper, reflect a layered process that blends traditional analog techniques with experimental approaches to reimagine the subject’s identity.

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...

Composition Technique: Color Contrast
Support my photography and follow me
The technique here is to shoot 200 images continuously - (f/3.2 @ 1 sec. @ ISO 6400). Process in Lightroom, export as jpegs, then open jpegs as layers in Photoshop. Select all layers and choose “lighten” for the layer mode.
Although some consider the technique of selective color a bit gimmicky, I still enjoy trying it occasionally, especially to contrast a brightly colored subject from the background . . .
There are a couple of building tricks here. If you are interested in something don't hesitate to ask.
You might notice that the texturing style is not as detailled as in my last half timbered buildings. I would assume that I used half the number of parts per cm³. I didn't try to use the smallest parts possible this time. So I could take advantage of larger parts like arches. I used tons of arches here. The whole tower is made of them as well as the left bay.
Though the build is still quite technical (it's still me) my focus was more on forms this time. I used round forms whereever possible: the roof, the wooden staircase, the tower, the left bay, the bridge.
ForlornEmpire inspired me to do that roof. He made a hilarious roof in summer using doors. I didn't have those doors but I thought, I could use those traffic signs instead. Looks different but it works.

I also uploaded a few pics on my second account.
