I'll have to admit being obsessed with these window variations lately. Especially the arched ones. The initial idea was to use SNOT techniques to better integrate these car fender parts when using them for details on buildings. The one shown here is similar to those in part one and two, but with some tricky building to achieve the thin part between the windows.
I haven't been anywhere dressed for a while, mainly due to lockdown, but I have had the odd times when I've been experimenting with different foundation, powders etc.at home, for when I do eventually venture out again. I was trying out the "baking" technique under my eyes here with concealer, beauty blender and loose powder that is all the rage at the moment and followed a youtube tutorial. I'm not sure if its worth all the bother to be honest, I should probably just get some tear trough filler and botox, there is only so much makeup can do! It's my own hair here, plus a few clip in hair extensions for added volume

The almost Full Moon beside Jupiter as they rise out of clouds and are reflected in Maskinonge Pond at Waterton Lakes National Park on June 16, 2019. I shot this during a photo workshop I was conducting that night. This was a very contrasty scene requiring HDR techniques (what I used here) or luminosity mask blending.
This is a 5-exposure HDR stack to record the dark foreground and bright sky, merged with Adobe Camera Raw with ghost removal off – with it on it left patches of high noise areas where the image came from only one exposure. Vignette applied with Zone System Express, noise reduction with Neat Image, and a soft Orton glow applied with Luminar Flex.
Note: This is a three image series.

One common hunting technique is to wait on an overhanging branch and then drop down on their unsuspecting prey, which beats having to chase them for hundreds of yards!
Not sure if it’s been shared by others. This is a simple SNOT technique that has small footprint and is quite stable.
The matte painting (which can be translated with painting backgrounds) is a technique used mainly in film used to allow the representation of landscapes or places otherwise too costly or impossible to reconstruct or reach directly.

Not the brand or technique is important in photographic art, but the understanding of the things behind the photographed subjects, the emotion, the composition, the joy or the sadness, the life itself that is mysteriously coming unrepeatable as a gift.
(Horia Stanicel)
Nu aparatul foto sau tehnica este importantă în arta fotografică, ci înțelegerea lucrurilor care stau în spatele subiectelor fotografiate,emoția, compoziția, bucuria sau tristețea, viața însăși care vine tainic irepetabil ca un dar.

Couldn't wait to try this...I LOVED Tami's and Jennifer's cards so much!!
I used Hero Hues chalk for the background though as I wanted the wording to show through....
Can't wait to get more stamps I can do this with!!!
This peaceful scene was violently disturbed by a photographer applying his extensive expertise in German swearwords – part of this fishing technique appears to be continuous slow movement, spoiling most of my exposures. In the end, we both have been happy – the guy is kind of sharp in this image and he brought home a big wet fish.

Alright, just like others on Flickr, I’ve been asked how I get my HDR image to pop the way they do. Well, while in Baltimore I used my handy Flip Video to show you how simple my setup is.
Here is the link to me in Baltimore freezing my butt off, showing off the simple technique of shooting a rental car with 9 exposures. (don't mind the bags under my eyes... that's jetlag and aging for ya)
Okay, I shoot 9 exp because... well, my D200 can do it. It's digital and free. Now I typically take one shot. A test shot, with my metering on the largest matrix mode there is, to get an overall average of the scene's exposure. Plus with going further + and -, you cover more of the tonal range, so hopefully that contributes to a better overall final image.
But before I do that, I still need to find a shot that is interested and well composed on it’s own. Okay, got one? That was easy.
I use a tripod and remote trigger on Ch (high speed shutter) to snap all the shots at once. But take a single shot first to make sure the MAIN SUBJECT looks properly exposed.
If the mid-range looks to be exposed properly, then I'll know that it's what I want. Now I shoot 9 exp at 1stop intervals. Thus, if my scene normally would be shot at 1/60th, that means I'll be capturing the tonal range from +/- 4stops. There is a better chance that I'll get exposures of the darkest areas and brightest areas that way. So:
1/60, 1/1250, 1/640, 1/320, 1/160, 1/40, 1/20, 1/10, 1/5
So right there that covers more range and thus get more tonal coverage.
But that's only the tip of the ice cream. Now is time to get the images on the computer and process them.
Here is a quick 10 minute video on how I process the images with Photomatix and then Photoshop CS3
So in Photomatix, I roughly use these settings:
Strength: 100
Saturation: 100
Light Smoothing: (either the 4th or 5th button) this has a dramatic effect on your overall image
Luminosity: Usually 10. Less = more halo affect on horizon, but does work better with the 4th Light Smoothing button.
Play around with these the most, as they will influence your image the most.
Tone:
white: 100
black: 100
Gamma: between 1.40 and 1.15
Color:
Temperature: between -2 and 4
Saturation Highlights: 10
Saturation Shadows: 10
Micro:
Micro-contrast: 10 (love me a good contrast)
Micro-smoothing: 5-30 (30 being smooth, 5 being pretty dramatic, but also lots of noise in the sky)
S/H:
Highlight Smoothing: 0
Shadow Smoothing: 0
Shadow Clipping: 0 unless I want some areas dark
Process. Save.
Once I get my photo into CS3, I take my time to dodge/burn the photo so all those little weird dark areas that Photomatix creates are all evened out. Once it's all even... ready for this, I:
Create a dupe layer
change it to: SCREEN (which makes it really bright)
adjust it to about.. I dunno, 30% or so until it looks properly exposed
Then flatten
Then use DODGE/BURN to even out the exposure and any areas that appear too dark/light
Create another dupe layer
change it to: SOFT or HARD light to exaggerate the colors a bit
adjust it appropriately.
Flatten
Once I do that, I might use the SPONGE tool to either saturate or desaturate the colors so it's even on the photo.
Now for the sky, if I want crazy clouds or colors, I use a magic wand or something to select the sky and thencreate another layer.
open up OPTIKVERVE'S VIRTUAL PHOTOGRAPHER and go through some of the presets in there. My personal favorites are:
Photocopy
Radiant
Landscape
Etc. Then I apply it, and adjust my layer, between 20 and 80%, depending on how much it changes the image
LARGE VERSION for educational purposes only.
That's about it really. There might be other things I do, but I always dodge/burn to even out the shadows and highlights. While the colors are vivid, I don't like things looking too crazy... usually.
Procrastination, master level. I wanted to use this roof technique for at least 3 years for a bigger medieval MOC , but for whatever reason, I never finished it. Alright, "finished" is an overstatement, I never really carried on with it. The ground floor of the building only collects dust ever since.
Maybe this decade.
It is a tedious, but very fun technique:
- get some nets
- get some cheese slopes or tiles
- put two round bricks on each of them (did I say that it is tedious?)
- insert the connected pieces into the net, repeat it some hundred times.
- that's it!
What do you think of this?
Being underwater frightens me as much as it makes me feel safe.There is no need to try to breathe there, the water breathes for you.
Water is one of the deepest roots in my inspiration. The way I use colours in my paintings reminds me of water as a music, a rhythm. Sometimes I can see it in the colours I like to create or the way I use light or technique. The familiar sound of waves moves with me and the ballet of brushes. Water brings more than reflections and light, it's a trip toward the unknown.

“Freya Fenris' ship is a reflection of her cool and calm demeanor, a technologically powerful machine of her own design that's built for precision performance. Matched to appeal to her endurance and efficiency, the ship's features maintain a delicate balance of speed, acceleration, and power.”

Out of all the Aces, this was the easiest to design and build since it’s so small. I designed the front using elements of Jerac's beautiful A-wings and designed some custom stickers to convey the racing stripes.
Despite being small and compact, I did challenge myself to pack complex building techniques to give the starfighter an overall smooth and slick look.
Hoi An is close to Danang and an easy spot to go for photowalks for me. I was trying to learn about blend if techniques and was practising on this image. I didn't get the technique figured out by I liked the shot.
This is a macro image of a Barberry bush in my yard. To achieve a wider DOF I used a hand held stacking technique described by UK photographer, Oliver Wright. A fun technique which will definitely require a lot of practice to perfect!
This technique is called light painting. It was taken at about midnight using long exposure, full moon light, and flashlights. The soft yellow light is the city glow over Salina mixed with moon light and the building, grass, and tractor are lit with flashlights! New favorite technique!
The water itself is based on the old technique of using a net to bring a bit of flexibility to a bunch of 1x1 plates + 1x1 rounds. Underneath, there's a short gear sequence connected to 2 rows of spinning technic beams that push the net up.

Day 5!
To balance out the very piece-intensive technique from yesterday, I thought I should post a simpler one today. This one is a very simple method of reversing stud direction, based on 1x2 grille tiles and mini blaster triggers. As you can see in the picture, you just line up two grille tiles with the stud receiving ends outward and push the flat ends of two trigger pieces through the slots, one from each side. This is commonly done using lever pieces, but using trigger pieces, the structure is only 2 studs wide instead of 3, which can be beneficial. It also allows you to use those trigger pieces, which are generally pretty useless.
The round bits of the triggers do stand out a bit past the sides of the grille tiles, which makes this technique slightly less versatile, but it's still quite effective.
As always, please let me know if you've seen this technique before.
Instruction, Do it yourself: see comment.
