But a whole fetishism has grown up around the technique of photography. Technique should be so conceived and adapted as to induce a way of seeing things, preferably in essentials, excluding the effects of gratuitous virtuosity and other ineptitudes. Technique is important in that we have to master it, but it is the result that counts.

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.

The universe is asymmetric and I am persuaded that life, as it is known to us, is a direct result of the asymmetry of the universe or of its indirect consequence.
Louis Pasteur.
Louis Pasteur (December 27, 1822 – September 28, 1895) was a French biologist, microbiologist and chemist renowned for his discoveries of the principles of vaccination, microbial fermentation and pasteurization. He is remembered for his remarkable breakthroughs in the causes and prevention of diseases, and his discoveries have saved many lives ever since. He reduced mortality from puerperal fever, and created the first vaccines for rabies and anthrax. His medical discoveries provided direct support for the germ theory of disease and its application in clinical medicine. He is best known to the general public for his invention of the technique of treating milk and wine to stop bacterial contamination, a process now called pasteurization. He is regarded as one of the three main founders of bacteriology, together with Ferdinand Cohn and Robert Koch, and is popularly known as the "father of microbiology" Source Wikipedia.

A 27-or-so exposure HDR panorama, processed in Photomatix and Photoshop. The tone-mapped HDR processing was only used sparingly in certain places, where necessary - it's mostly RAW data.
These direct-sun HDR panoramas are about as difficult to capture well as anything, but I think I'm starting to get it down pretty well these days. This one took about 3 hours to process.
I've been experimenting with a new technique to get more detail with less noise - this upload on flickr, though admittedly reduced from the 70-megapixel original, has had zero noise reduction applied, and seems pretty noise-free to my eyes. So, it seems to be working so far.
It was built at the end of 19th Century by master-builders Pyrch Mykhailo Mykhailovych and Pyrch Fedir Mykhailovych and re-built in 1946. After Prykarpattia’s joining to the Soviet Ukraine, the mill became the property of a local collective farm. It was used for its intended purpose. In 1960th, after a water flood it didn’t function till 1970th, when transferred to the Museum. The mill stayed on a bank of a torrent, flowing out of Shypit water flow.
The building has a double-room log construction. It consists of a “shack” to shelter the visiting farmers and a mill itself with mechanism. It has two waterwheels and two pairs of stones – grinding plates.
The flouring mill is built of smereka wood. Its high roof is covered by combination of straw and wood. It is the only showpiece of the museum with such combination of roofing techniques.
To grind corn, water should be forwarded to the walls. For this purpose, the stream has been dammed up by smereka timbers. Water taken from the torrent passed by hollowed-up logs to the upper wheels; they turned the axles with wheels – gears, and they tuned a shaft and the upper stone. Grains had to be loaded into a hopper fixed above, and flour fell into a through, fixed under the lower stone.
Total area of the building is 62.7 square meters.
Млин із села Пилипець, Міжгірського району, Закарпатської області.
Збудований наприкінці ХІХ ст. Майстри-будівничі - Пирч Михайло Михайлович і Пирч Федір Михайлович. В 1946 році його перебудували. Після приєднання Закарпаття до радянської України млин став власністю колгоспу, використовувався за призначенням. В 1960-х роках після повені млин не функціонував до 1970-х років, коли його перевезли до Музею. Млин стояв на березі стрімкого потоку, що витікає з водопаду Шипіт.
Споруда має двокамерну зрубну конструкцію і складається з «хижі» - приміщення, де жили і відпочивали приїжджі селяни, і млина з механізмом. Він має два водяних колеса і дві пари каменів – жорен.
Млин збудований із смерекового дерева. Високий дах комбінований, покритий соломою і деревом. В музеї це єдиний експонат, де поєднано різні матеріали та покрівельні техніки.
Щоб перемолоти збіжжя, треба було спрямувати воду на колеса. Для цього потік перегороджувався гаттю із смерекових колод. Воду з потоку подавали довбаними колодами до верхніх коліс, які обертали вали із закріпленими на них колесами – шестернями, а вони обертали веретено і верхній камінь. Зерно засипали в кіш, що кріпиться зверху, а борошно сиплеться в корито, яке закріплене внизу нижнього каменю.
Загальна площа споруди – 62,7 кв.м.

"The Queen of Hearts,
She made some tarts,
For the King, one summer’s day.
The King of Hearts,
He ate up the tarts,
But sent the Queen away.
The Queen of Hearts,
Hurt by the King’s harsh smarts,
Appealed for love that day.
The Knave of Hearts,
He stole her heart,
And took her far away."
Adapted from “The Queen of Hearts” poem and nursery rhyme (1782).
The theme for "Smile on Saturday" for the 14th of February is "hearts on playing cards" in honour of it being Saint Valentine’s Day, and who better to promote the day than the Queen of Hearts? These beautiful court figures and their heart suite companions come from the whist playing cards of the ‘Empire No.172’ deck which were made in Germany by the card firm B. Dondorf in 1880. The deck, which is a luxury deck with gilded edges, is in immaculate condition. The court cards are printed by chromolithography in thirteen colours with the addition of red and black suit symbols. They feature beautiful characters dressed richly in the stylised garb of Empire or Regency style (circa 1800). The days of brocades, lace and periwigs of the Ancien Régime as featured in the ‘Rokoko Baronesse No 160’ deck are over, but the costumes they wear still look like pieces of art. The King holds a royal edict, wears a crown and is clean shaven. The Queen wears an Empire or Regency turban, three strands of pearls and has a bird on her hand. The Knave carries a posy of four roses and is reminiscent of young men from the time directly after the French Revolution but before the Empire (a period between 1795 and 1804 known in France as the Directoire). These dandies were called Incroyables, whilst their ladies were known as Merveilleuses. The Ace of Hearts has been stamped with the German playing card tax stamp, which featured the "DEUTSCHES REICH" text and the “old eagle”, which indicates tax paid for the cards produced. This has been produced by the Frankfurt/Main (tax office 'No. 15'). This stamp was used between 1879 and 1888. I have put the suite of heart cards against one of my Grandfather’s handmade marquetry chessboards. I hope you like my choice for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile! Happy Saint Valentine’s Day!
The firm of B. Dondorf was founded in April 1833 by the lithographer Bernard Dondorf, who headed the company until July 1872. In that year, Dondorf's sons Carl and Paul, as well as his son in law Jacob Fries, assumed control of the firm which continued to operate under the original trademark. Jacob Fries left the firm in the early part of 1890. From the beginning, the company specialised in all branches of lithography. In cooperation with the printing firm of C. Naumann, Dondorf also printed paper bank notes for the Italian National Bank and for the Imperial Japanese Government. In 1871, the firm moved within Frankfurt from the Saalgasse to a new and larger factory site in the Bockenheimer Landstrasse 136. The steady growth of the company required the building of still additional subdivisions in 1890 and 1895. Principal products of the firm were playing cards, various games, greeting and post cards and various religious prints. The export of playing cards at Dondorf's accounted for much of the firm's business. The Scandinavian countries of Denmark, Norway and Sweden in the period before World War I, for example, imported nearly all of their playing cards from Dondorf. Similarly, the Dutch East Indies, now Indonesia were excellent customers. Bernard Dondorf, the founder died in his 94th year. He earned an enviable reputation as a lithographer, especially for his technique of etching the stone with a diamond stylus. His special methods of engraving bank notes were also unique. In 1929 the decision was reached to liquidate the firm.
The chessboard was made by my Grandfather, a skilful and creative man, in 1952. Two chess sets, a draughts set and three chess boards made by my Grandfather were bequeathed to me as part of his estate when he died.
"Life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger, even though sometimes it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and grieves which we endure help us in our marching onward."

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.
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.

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.)

Liz and I met at Bosham for Valda Bailey's exhibition at Bosham Gallery, which sadly closes at the end of this exhibition on Friday. They works will still be shown online, and they are looking to run exhibitions elsewhere, and attend large art fairs.
We were lucky enough to arrive just as the artist was about to speak about her hand-finishing of her multiple exposure images.
Afterwards, we had a wander, and were inspired to try multiple exposures again ourselves.

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.
I spent a couple of hours wandering around Sussex Prairie Garden this afternoon looking for subjects for this week's 52Photos group challenge. I found lots, but decided on this metal flower rather than a real one because I've done lots of those recently. Anyway, I like a bit of rust. :)
Here, I've explored a fusion of macro and soft focus by precisely focusing on the heart of the flower. The shallow depth of field, created with an f/3.8 aperture, contributes to the gentle aesthetic. Importantly, this photograph is the result of traditional techniques, without any AI enhancement.

Another buildings in the neolitic settlement :)
Neolithic settlement in Kopiec is a small settlement in village Kopiec, when you can see how lived people of the Funnelbeaker culture (present in Europe between 3700 and 1900 BC), recreated with great accuracy. The huts are equipped with vessels and various objects which were made using old techniques. The whole was made in accordance with current knowledge about the life of people from that period. In the settlement live also farm animals, and in the gardens you can see species of cereals being cultivated in old times.

Inne drewniane budowle w osadzie neolitycznej :)
Osada neolityczna w Kopcu - odtworzona z dużą dokładnością i starannością osada ludzi kultury pucharów lejkowatych, obecnej w Europie pomiędzy 3700 a 1900 r. p.n.e. Chaty wyposażone są w naczynia i różne przedmioty, które zostały wykonane za pomocą dawnych technik. Całość urządzona jest zgodnie z obecną wiedzą na temat życia ludzi tamtego okresu. W osadzie znajdują się też zwierzęta hodowlane, zaś w ogródkach można zobaczyć uprawiane pradawne gatunki zbóż.
