Dhokra or Dokra art is non–ferrous metal casting using the lost-wax casting technique. This sort of metal casting has been used in India for over 4,000 years and is still used. One of the earliest known lost wax artefacts is the dancing girl of Mohenjo-daro
From the heart of West Bengal comes an art so eternal, it is cast in the absoluteness of metal. An ancient method of making metal artefacts, Dhokra art goes back 5000 years. What’s shocking, however, is that this tribal art form, done by the traditional metalsmiths of Bengal – the Dhokra Damar tribes, has survived the test of time and is still in use today. Here’s a look at the journey of this metal art from the heartlands of Bengal to the rest of the world.

In the photo it is seen that a man is selling his dhokra art!
‘Marubi’ – from Photo Library to a Museum of Photography
The National Museum of Photography ‘Marubi' was established as an absolute need to identify and promote the photographic archive created by the Marubi Dynasty and other city of Shkodra photographers, a cultural heritage unique in its kind.
At the center of the museum project is the legacy of the ‘Photo-Studio Marubbi', founded in 1856 by Pietro Marubbi, an Italian painter and photographer who came and settled in Shkodra at the time. The activity of the studio over the years, was directed and enriched by three generations of photographers, until the early 1950s, time when Gegë Marubi was forced to give oneself up to the communist collective anonymity, by joining other photographers in the photography unit of the former Repair-Services Cooperative.
In 1970 was founded the Marubi Photo-Studio with around 500,000 negatives in various techniques and formats.
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)

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.
Junagah (Inde) - On ne va pas se raconter d’histoires, ce n’est pas du tout la photo que je voulais. En 2008, je venais de faire l’acquisition de mon premier appareil numérique et j’étais loin de le maîtriser.
Pour cette photo d’un tailleur qui attend le client, je voulais faire un portrait classique, mais assez large pour intégrer la machine à coudre. Elément qui à lui seul informe sur le métier de l’artisan. Une photo à priori facile à faire.
L’homme avait une bonne tête. Je me suis accoudé sur le comptoir de son échoppe ouverte sur la rue pour le photographier en légère contre plongée.
`J’ai fait - enfin, c’est ce que je croyais -, la mise au point sur le visage et j’ai déclenché.
De retour à l’hôtel, j’ai réalisé que ma photo était ratée. Comme les capteurs de l’autofocus étaient réglés, par défaut, en « multi-zones », l’automatisme a choisi de faire le point sur la partie de la photo qui lui semblait la plus importante. Ici, c’est la main. Résultat, comme j’avais une ouverture relativement élevée limitant la profondeur de champ, le visage qui était le plus important se retrouve… flou. Alors que dans mon esprit c’est la main qui aurait dû être floue pour mettre en valeur le visage.
Coup de chance, je trouve que cette photo fonctionne malgré tout. Je n’ai aucun mérite. C’est le hasard de l’électronique embarquée qui a fait le boulot.
En photo, il faut pourtant limiter les effets du hasard technique. Encore moins laisser l’appareil faire la photo à votre place. Si cette fois, ça a fonctionné, dans 99 % des cas la photo sera véritablement ratée.
Junagah (India) - We're not going to tell each other stories, this isn't the photo I wanted at all. In 2008, I had just purchased my first digital device and was far from mastering it.
For this photo of a couturier waiting for a client, I wanted to do a classic portrait, but with the sewing machine included. Element which in itself informs about the craft of the craftsman. A photo a priori rather easy to take.
The man had a good head. I leaned on the counter of his shop open to the street to photograph him in slight low angle. I did - well, that's what I thought - the focus on the face and triggered.
When I got back to the hotel, I realized my photo had failed. As the autofocus sensors were set by default to "multi-zones", the automation chose to focus on the part of the photo that seemed to be the most important. Here is the hand. As a result, since I had a relatively high aperture, limiting the depth of field, the face was found… blurry. Whereas in my mind it is the hand that should have been blurred to highlight the face.
Luckily, I find that finally this photo works anyway. But I have no merit. The on-board electronics did the job.
In photos, however, we must limit the effects of technical chance. Even less let the camera take the photo for you. If this time it worked, in 99% of cases the photo will really be a failure.
Trying out that cool iPhone technique- tap the object and you can copy or share.
So how do I get it to be on black instead of white? Patricia Lane Evans ?
You just never know what's going to happen, I popped out optimistic of a sunset, to experiment with some new techniques and nothing....... until 10 mins after sunset when this happened, lucky I hadn't packed up! Thanks for looking :-)
No, don't adjust your glasses, you are not going mad :) (Look away if you get vertigo).
I spent a lovely day in the City with Andrew and Ali www.flickr.com/photos/alideniese/ the master of Intentional Camera Movement (ICM). She showed us some techniques and we had loads of fun. So much colour and movement in the city. It is alot harder than you might think to make it work and out of the 100 plus images I took, I only came away with a couple that I think worked (you may disagree of course!). This one is of our iconic Flinders St Station.
Not the greatest, it's heavily cropped! These two were at it for about 20 minutes! Eye gouging, slashing and disembowelment are a few of their speciality techniques... not to be messed with!
So this is a quick build that I put together to test out some lighting techniques. I hope you all like it and feel free to leave constructive criticism! My next build should be done in a week or so if I have time so look forward to that.
Cheers, .NP.

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

My Stylised imagery is created from my photographs, I edit them using various techniques on my iPad Pro. I use a combination of the apps listed below:
Retouch for Clone stamp editing and blur brush
Tangled FX for outline work
Procreate for Brush Strokes, image merging and Layering
Stackables for Texture creation and layering
Photomator for upscaling, denoise, debanding, super resolution, fine image adjustments and exporting of final imagery
Seneca Rocks is a large crag and local landmark in Pendleton County in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia, USA. The south peak is one of a small number of peaks inaccessible except by technical rock climbing techniques on the East Coast of the United States. One of the best-known scenic attractions in West Virginia, the sheer rock faces are a popular challenge for rock climbers.
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 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.
Thanks to everyone that views and comments on my images - very much appreciated.

Fire breathing is the act of creating a plume of fire by breathing a stream of fuel over an open flame. It can be a dangerous activity but the proper technique and the correct fuel reduces the risk of injury. Fire breathing is performed by both professionals and non-professionals. Professional fire breathers usually incorporate the fire performance skill within a show where other fire skills are performed. The element of danger in performing fire breathing and other fire skills enhances the entertainment spectacle for many audience members
The Intha fisherman at Inle lake - with one leg wrapped around a single oar, leaving their sunburned hands free to manipulate the conical fishing nets. This skill, unique to Inle Lake, takes a high level of balance, agility and strength. The fisherman have to determine the right amount of pressure to put on their free leg, while their other leg steers, turns and uses the oar to slow the boat down.
I’ve been going through some older images from an amazing trip to Scotland and applying new editing techniques.
As soon as I saw the Macro Mondays theme of Paper, I wanted to try this concept, seen on the West Sussex Libraries Facebook page banner.
I enjoyed the rather more OOF version I'm showing here.
An old book provided the right style of page (Hellas from Shelley's Poetical Works), with two pages curled into the middle.
Each curl is approx 2" tall...
For set up, see comments.
I've added this close-up because a conversation between a photographer friend and a fish biologist reported that the dipper has a habit of clipping off a fry's tail while in pursuit so that the fish would not be able to escape.
Obviously, in this case the bird didn't have to employ the technique because the fry's tail is intact.
HAPPY TUESDAY'S TEXTURES !
Click on image to look close.
I was pleased by the variety of colors and textures I managed to capture. I think that the bright, late afternoon sun in a blue sky was responsible for the array of colors. The textures come from my usual technique for moving water photos, described below.
NB1 - As usual, I captured the dynamics of moving water hand-held by using a motion-stabilzed camera lens and a medium-slow shutter speed; in this case, 1/40s.
NB2 - Effect of the 1/40s shutter speed:
The tiny white streaks mark how far given bits of light-reflecting spray traveled in 1/40s.

Last week I was in San Diego to help train some of the folks at Best Buy. One of the more extensive retail training programs I have ever seen, Best Buy takes key people out of their store for a week... flies them to someplace like San Diego. There they spend time with professional photographers and manufacturer's reps learning the gear and techniques needed to talk with you.
One of the stops was "Action".

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。
