A PSA for ED...
A couple of tips for anyone that is thinking of doing a shot similar to this:
1) Use warm water.
2) Go pee BEFORE you dump warm water on your crotch.
For all the techies out there...

I have been experimenting with HDR through CS5. This is actually a single RAW image processed as a HDR.
For my birthday my wife got me a CS5 book by Martin Evening. Now I am a Kelby fanatic, but I must admit that this book is quite good. It is for the more advanced Photoshop user and goes into real good detail about setup and such.
Now I am normally not too into the "painterly" HDR look, BUT, I am seeing that it for a change of pace, some images it works nicely on.
Techy: Nikon D700, Nikon 14mm f/2.8, RAW image, processed ALL through CS5 with a splash of NIK.
Behold! My latest custom creation for the Scorpion. The next step towards the Sinister Six.
This proved to be quite the challenge compared to Lego's design and other fellow figglers. I used several inspired concepts from some comic books and video games to form this villain.
After a couple trial and errors, I chose this helmet. The chin strap kind of had a resemblance to the mandibles of the arachnid, in a high techy kind of way.
It's almost finished. I'm painting the helmet and the claws to match up with the suit. The tail may also get some tweaking as far as the tip is concerned. I'm super pleased with how this is turning out.
Any feedback is welcome!
Enjoy!
I heard about these falls lately and eventually found my way to them. Compositions are limited by geography - it's a pretty steep gorge, and once you're past the safety fence it's a little shady.
Next time, which is likely to be next year, I'll maybe go to the other side and try and work my way down.
Techy stuff - I used a smaller aperture than usual here to increase the sunburst.

It’s March, snow has fallen and a damp fog shrouds the station at Banbury. A spare loco stands in the bay, little used these days but never abandoned because it's convenient for emergencies and so on. The red light is the signal for the northbound main line to Birmingham. Many years ago when the connection to the Banbury Branch for the GCR's London Extension was in place, this bay was used for the "Banbury Motor", the local service with Woodford & Hinton (later Woodford Halse) and the two small halts along the way. It's a relic of times when Banbury was a very busy junction station.
Best seen large.
Techy stuff: Loco is 25 154 in BR blue livery. March 1981. Ambient light, approximately 30-sec exposure with tripod-mounted OM-2 on Kodachrome. Scanned and green hue from the fluorescent lights reduced slightly.

This slightly unworldly post-processing is an effort to reproduce an effect that I achieved with the Palazzo Pubblico in Siena last year. Unfortunately, I seem not to have kept the intermediate file so I am trying to reproduce it from scratch. Almost there now. For the techies, I basically layer a monochrome copy at 50% and then a coloured copy with the "overlay" blend at about 30%, then adjust the curves. I'll automate most of this once I have it down.
I had no idea i had captured these people like this and the fact that the face is out of focus to me just adds to the depth of meaning in the picture. There is anonymity to what is otherwise a very public display of affection and concern and this shot doesn’t intrude - almost like those times you catch a part of someone else’s personal phone conversation and get the gist but without prying. I don't know what the people were talking about and I just ignored them at the time allowing them to get on with their day but when this one came back from processing I fell in love immediately.
On a techy geeky note I also love the blue cast my vintage lens and Ektar film combo provided. i think of this set as quite timeless in a way.
Sometimes these guys will just wander around and ignore you as you walk by other times they take flight quickly.
Seems like I am always On The Road Again. . . and though I like Willie's song, it was his long time harp player Mickey Raphael that got me blowing tunes. . . I am still learning. . .
[for techies: yes, an extreme fish eye]
A sort of still-after-life image from the Abandoned series. Seen near Mosås, Sweden, October 10, 2008
For the techies:
This is not an HDR image, nor is it a flash image. It was taken tripod mounted, 5 seconds @ f 5.6, through the Zuiko 14 - 42 mm 1:3.5 - 5.6 Olympus E-410 kit lens. RAW conversion in Photoshop CS3
I've been meaning to get out and photograph the parks in her winter clothes. I missed the last meetup with Charlotte because I was sick, but I was able to head out last night with the group to meet Matt Pasant. We had a great time hanging out and shooting at our leisure.
Since the techies were getting ready for the monstrous event that is New Years Eve at the Disneyland Resort, they had the castle lit in a lovely lavender with gold highlights. A welcome change from bubblegum pink. The hub was also completely dark, allowing for a silhouetted Walt and Mickey.
I hope all of you have a great time tonight and have a wonderful New Year!

Duquesne Incline
Pittsburgh, PA
Oldest incline ( funicular railway) in operation in the United States.
800ft with rise of 400ft at 30 degree angle
********* FOR HISTORY BUFFS **********
The Duquesne Incline is a funicular railway located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It is one of two inclines that serve Mount Washington, the other being the Monongahela Incline.
The Duquesne Incline was completed in 1877 and is the oldest continuously operating funicular in the United States. It is also one of the most popular tourist attractions in Pittsburgh, offering stunning views of the city and the surrounding area.
The incline is 800 feet (244 m) long and rises 400 feet (122 m) at a 30-degree angle. It takes about 90 seconds to travel between the two stations.
The Duquesne Incline is open year-round and operates from 5:30 AM to 12:30 AM. The cost of a ride is $2.50 one way or $5.00 round trip.
********** FOR POP CULTURALISTS ***********
Mr. Rogers was a native of Pittsburgh, and he loved the city. He often talked about the Duquesne Incline in his show, and he even took a ride on it in one episode. The Duquesne Incline is a reminder of Mr. Rogers' love for Pittsburgh, and it is a popular tourist destination for fans of his show.
The trolleys in Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood were modeled after the Duquesne Incline in both style and color. The trolleys in the show were red and white, just like the incline cars. They also had the same general shape and design.
The trolleys in the show were used to represent the idea of community and friendship. They were a way for the characters to get around the neighborhood and to visit each other. The trolleys also represented the idea of learning and discovery. The characters would often take field trips on the trolleys, and they would learn about different things along the way.
(side note - rumor is that Mr. Rogers wanted to use incline trolley in his show because he loved them so much, but his producers convinced him that majority of viewers would not relate to inclines as they were not common in most communities vs a trolley on a city railway. So he styled the trolley after Duquesne Incline in style and color - Is there a similarity?)
*********** FOR TECHIES ***************
How does a funicular work?
A funicular is a type of cable railway that uses two cars that are permanently connected to each other by a cable. The cars travel on a track that is inclined at a steep angle. The cable is run through a pulley at the top of the incline, and the weight of the cars helps to pull each other up the hill.
The cars are counterbalanced, so that the weight of the ascending car is equal to the weight of the descending car. This means that less energy is required to move the cars up the hill. The cars are also equipped with brakes to prevent them from going too fast.
Funiculars are often used to transport people and goods up steep hills or mountains.

Taken on a gorgeous clear blue morning... Slowed the waves down with a Lee Big Stopper for the techies amongst you... Olympic National Park at its ,ost picturesque!!
Nouvelle série de photos d’aurores australes 🌏 (je SAIS que vous en voulez encore). Je ne sais pas pourquoi on en a vu autant en quelques jours alors que j’en avais à peine aperçu une durant #Proxima, mais celle là vient avec un petit quelque chose en plus. La Lune était haute et très brillante, elle éclairait les nuages en créant une atmosphère très particulière… et elle a rendu cette aurore polaire… presque bleue. Pour les pros de la photo, non ce n’est pas la balance des blancs, les appareils étaient réglés exactement comme pour les images précédentes ♂️ Je me demande ce que Mère Nature nous réserve pour la suite : une aurore boréale jaune ou rouge vif ? Un immense arc en ciel ? 🌈
.
Another round of auroras🌏 (surely you’re not tired of them yet… are you?) I don’t know why we saw so many in the span of a few days, when I barely saw one during my entire first mission, but these last ones came with something extra. As the Moon was high and bright, it lit up the clouds from above, which created a distinct atmosphere… and almost turned the aurora blue. What’s next, Mother Nature? A yellow one? A giant rainbow?🌈 And no, photo techies, the camera balance was set the same as for previous aurora pictures ♂️ An aurora under the full moon, what could be better?

Eclectic Botanical Art — a photo featuring a rather delightful swirl of flowers, crafted with a dash of intentional camera movement. Made with Artisitic Intuition, not AI.
Photography is about emotions, patience and perhaps a bit of luck — none of which you’ll find in a bunch of code. Sure, the AI might add some polish, but it can’t replace the human touch. So, while the techies keep tinkering, let’s remember that true photography is an art form that belongs to people, not machines.

Here is the capture I took of this techy apple, but here taken at shallow depth of field at f/4 versus the original post below at f/11.

Last light of the day down in the valley is marvellous, especially as the field on the left is being tilled again.
Half an hour after the previous picture, the sun is lower and sunset tones are beginning to colour the sky. A Voyager is heading south, its clean metallic lines hugely photogenic. :)
Techy stuff: The 16.36 Newcastle-Reading made up to 5 carriages and right on time.

📍 Penryn
Here's something a little different from me to break up my coastal stuff...
I was on the way home, driving down Bohelland Rise, when I was presented with a misty view over Penryn. I was seconds from home, so I had to grab my long lens. After shooting a few frames of the town, I turned my attention to the horizon - near the A39.
I was struck by the graphic shapes of these silhouetted trees, and what I imagine is a phone mast (techies please correct me if I'm wrong) - maybe a couple of miles away from where I stood. I also liked the separation as the mist knocked back the more distant forms.
Straight off camera, the colours were a little underwhelming. So I used some artistic licence - and colour graded the crap out of it!
For me, after watching the latest Attenborough documentary on Netflix, this picture tells a story of humans' dominance over nature and our planet. Trees strive to outgrow their neighbours to capture as much sunlight as possible. Yet here, this man made structure dwarfs them all. Watch the documentary - it's an eye opener!
Canon 6D MkII | 150-600mm Sigma lens at 600mm | ƒ/11 | 1/1000 sec | ISO 100 | Tripod | No filters | Taken 10-01-21 at Penryn

I got this pic and the last one of Saffron from Tom, a fellow nonprofit techy we met at the conference
This popped up on my Google Photo's this morning. Exactly 10 years ago. Parking lot NS train station Den Haag Mariahoeve.
Honda Civic 8th generation. This was a tuesday. Working at AEGON Asset Management at the time. Great colleagues. Good times. :)
Today (2023-01-15, Sunday): 7 degrees Celcius. Still hoping to get some snow this year. :)
This car was very special. It actually wasn't that comfortable... lots of understeer, it was underpowered, beam rear suspension, the entire suspension was kind of jittery, the seat was too high and the airco was noisy. But the steering was super fast and fun and playstation like and the wheel was nice and small. The gear box was clickity-clack and the interior super techy. The seats had a suede/ alcantera techy material. Loved that machine and the deep red lacquer!
Yay I found my missing photos! thanks to my genius son who 'commandeered my laptop" from his house across town... he was able to see that I had created a new name on a folder that actually created a new folder and got Lightroom all confused...LOL I could NEVER survive this techy world without him!
Although this was shot in RAW, I didn't do anything except crop a bit of overexposed bokeh and added a frame obviously..
On explore @ #94 May 29, up to 53
An island in the Venetian Lagoon.
Its been a little while, I have been busy in the gallery over the last couple of months, and haven't had much time. Looking forward to catching up here and I can't wait to get back out shooting again. This is one from earlier this year.

It's been a little while since my last upload, I have a backlog of images partly processed from this winters trips to finish and should be uploading quite regularly over the spring and summer months
This image was made last week in Fuerteventura, where I was hosting a workshop
One thing that struck me, on reflection, is the vastness of locations like this, it's completely different to my normal situation, where I have defined subjects and quite often limited angles to shoot from, I usually find myself fine tuning compositions. Here the compositions are endless and that in itself is quite daunting.
Anyway some techy info

ust got in the door from my Saturday shoot and what a great time i had . Here are some specs for the Techy type. Nikon D700, 1/400, ISO 500, 70mm, f2.8 .
I finally had an opportunity to photograph the new Guardians overlay to the former Tower of Terror...At night, this is attraction is stunning...Daytime, it looks busy and techy, but those who remember ToT, can see right through the facade.
As amazing as this attraction looks at night, it is totally out of place with everything else in DCA...Visible from many angles in the park, it just looks weird, and like it doesn't belong.
The ride however, is amazingly fun and immersive. Much better than ToT ever was, with more movement that is unpredictable and more intense.
Manually blended HDR photo from 3 base images at ISO 200, f.11 (3 seconds, 13 seconds, & 30 seconds) plus 1 dedicated for the sky at ISO 400, 20 seconds, to prevent star stretching, and 1 intended to mask out two groups of people, ISO 400, 10 seconds.
Shot wide with Samyang / Rokinon 14mm, then corrected for distortion and cropped closer
My children swear by iPhone photography and don't see the need for any other 'gadget'. I was just wondering if you think this is true, or think it is an age thing, or something else and I would be interested to hear your thoughts?
"As far as lens is concerned, both iPhone and DSLRs would have minimal difference in the quality. Settings, thus play a vital role. iPhone uses a bionic processor that allows for faster capturing and processing of images, better low-light autofocus, improved pixel processing and better noise reduction in images."
This is an unusual sight in these parts, I believe its an American import..But you clever folks can put me right ! As some of you know, Im having techy probs,so Im having a few days off flickr until I can sort it out, so see you back here soon. Till then, take care and have a good rest of week : o )

A few of these... Had see reports of an Osprey stopping over at Soudely Ponds &went for a stroll on the off chance. Saw something NOT Buzzard shaped fly over, so scurried round to the other side of the Lake; stood watching with a very silly grin for nearly an hour:) Some of the camera work isn't great - was just a bit excited and could have done with a higher shutter speed - techy stuff went out the window though Doh!
There will be more popping up now and then...

PLEASE VIEW THIS ON BLACK. It looks SO much better. ;-)
I went out to Blackwater Falls State Park in West Virginia with my friend Darren Barnes (DWood) yesterday for some waterfall shooting. We hiked all three falls and I think came away with some winners!
The water was really flowing nice and we only had a couple of "Almost" mishaps. But all-in-all it was a WONDERFUL day!
**I needed to take 5 minutes away from editing the wedding I shot. I am almost done with it, so I will be catching up with everyone VERY soon!!
***Techy notes: This is a 5 shot bracket combined in ACR and then tonemapped in Photomatix. With a touch of NIK thrown in too. Also, if you can believe this...I used a TRIPOD! :oD
Last of the beach shots I could do something with, so I'll probably call it a day now and embrace autumn.
Explored # 30 :-) creeping up further - Thanks again
Having a quiet sunday morning, watching my list of incomplete tasks fill up!
Maybe the sun will burn off the mist yet? Have a great sunday everyone.
A dying flame in the beach life set.
Seen in the Ireland set.
> for the techies: it's a single, hand-held exposure raw file, turned into pseudo HDR by Photomatrix and tonemapped using my special formula. Then post production in Adobe Elements 6 to crop and add a hint of Orton for drama without spoiling the grain.
My grandpa's antique pocket watch. It's been passed on to sons for some generations. So technically it's supposed to be my brother's, but I really like it haha.
Finally figured out how to open it! I believe it's a DOXA from 1906.
I just love antique things; I'd love to get a typewriter very very much. :)
