Largely unnoticed (despite very large size) public space decorative art - but it probably works on a subliminal level. Life is sure better with colours :)
Listen, when things get a little too hot, sometimes you need to make a break for it... and break a few things in the process! Take it from the O.G. space cowboy himself.

This image's provenance may go back to the famous "Girl with a Pearl Earring" by Vermeer. It is one of the most copied master works of human kind. Vermeer may have used his knowledge and practice of art to employ technology to transform an ordinary image into a masterpiece. I found the descendant of his iconic image in a photograph by Zack Zhang (not sure as it was posted on Pinterest without proper attribution), which I studied by transforming it into a digital image in Procreate, the digital painting software. Then I used my rendition as a starting point for its tranformation into AI synthetic art by Stable Diffusion. A clip interrogator derived a prompt from my painting that read, "a woman with a blue head scarf on her head and a black background with a black background and a white background." I then further styled the picture, generating over a hundred versions. Marcel Duchamp says art is conceptual and artists simply go through a decision process to transform an ordinary object into an extraordinary one. This image is my homage to the artist working with whatever tools falls into their hands.

I do the thing, I do the thing you wanna (Ladies an gentlemen)
I'm gonna do anything you wanna (I know what you want)
It's a part of a graffiti. Turned, to find in the given tag this abstract portrait - another meaning.
Your decision: ''whatever you see...'

Hey team how are we all doing?
It be throwback Thursday today and I've finally finished processing a photo taken 2 weeks ago from my trip to Sydney and the Blue Mountains.
Renown for its unique architecture this crazy critter being the Sydney Opera House continues to fascinate and inspire architects all around the world, or so I'm led to believe. This photo was shot from the Milson's Point side with a 70-300mm telephoto lens on a dodgy tripod.
The processing was done like this; firstly the photo was taken into Lightroom where the massively blinding highlights and whites were dulled down. The shadows were raised up a tad too as some parts of the photo were too dark. Then I played around with the colours using the HSL panel until I got the feel that I liked. I aimed to contrast the bluish sky with the orangey/yellow lights inside the building. I cropped the image and fixed up the horizon to make it straight. I then brought the photo into Photoshop and did some noise reduction using Imagenomic's Noiseware Professional software. Finally I cleaned off the image by using a combination of the clone stamp tool, spot healing brush and the brush tool. The most challenging part of this process was to get the image right in camera with the nasty gale forced winds of that night.
Hope you enjoy this one, and as always feel free to use this image in your videos, your website, you blog, print it out, remix it or do whatever you wish with it as per the CC licence.
All the best my people, don't stop shooting.

Today or tomorrow I will hit 1,000,000 views.
A while ago, I would have been excited, like when I was the 1,000,000th upload to the 365 Day group.
But now I really don't care.
Whatever.
I am so upset over the BP Oil Spill and all those innocent creatures whose ecosystems are being destroyed because of human greed.
I hope and pray the entire world can learn a lesson so something like this never happens again.

An abstract....I want to say seascape? A product of decades of the Surrey climate on a large bronze sculpture on a Portland stone plinth. This blank panel at the back has provided a canvas for the blue-green patination of the copper alloy to run and form this intriguing image.
In the early 1960s, construction began on the Oroville Dam. Once the dam was completed, the resulting reservoir flooded the Western Pacific mainline east of Oroville. A new route was created which required civil engineers to use just about every tool in the toolbox. In total, the new route required the construction of five tunnels, three bridges and a horseshoe loop.
Here, a heavy westbound grain train rumbles through the 2,922' Tunnel 5 before crossing over Lake Oroville.
