A 4X5 crop that includes 3 pillars and creates the perspective that leads the eye to the distant bathers. A slight rotation was made to correct the horizon.
Someone asked me how I processed my photos which led me to write my workflow out on my "About" page. After some confusion, I decided to do a visual as you see in the attached image.
During the pandemic, I've been using my cell phone for almost all my pictures. I just wanted to pass along my workflow for others who haven't tried their phones yet. Just remember that a RAW file gives you much more room to adjust contrast.
Do you have a photo-taking workflow?
Before I pull out the “big camera,” I sometimes snap a quick iPhone pic to check composition and lighting. Sometimes it tells me everything I need to know, like whether to shift left, crouch down, or just give up and go get some eggs benedict for brekky at a cafe. And when my wide-angle lens isn’t quite wide enough, it's iPhone panorama to the rescue! It’s quicker than taking multiple shots with the OM-1 and stitching later. Lazy or efficient? You decide.
Fun Fact Time - The Goldfish Edition!
Have you ever wondered how long goldfish live? Most pet goldfish clock in around 5–10 years. But some have gone the distance......
The oldest was Goldie (45 yrs). A very solid name choice in my opinion. He never made it into the Guinness Book of Records due to a lack of official paperwork. While he was alive, Goldie garnered international media attention, and his family the Evans family donated any money earned by Goldie’s appearances to charity to help children with physical disabilities. How cool is that, a philanthropist goldfish!
Other notable characters in the geriatric goldfish club include:
Tish (1956-1999) – the official Guinness title holder at 43 years old. In 1988 Tish had a brush with death when he leapt out of his bowl and landed on the carpet. His mum Tilda wasn't home but luckily, when she found him & placed him back into the water, he resumed swimming as if nothing had happened. I wonder if he remembered or if every trip around the goldfish bowl was new to him! Over the years, as he aged, Tish’s scales turned from bright orange to silver, matching the colour of Hilda’s hair. That's kinda sweet.
Fred (42) and George (44). Keith & Mary Allies from Worcester UK won the pair of fish at a fair in 1974, when they were only dating. Since then, the married couple kept the goldfish, who outlived two of their dogs. They passed in 2017 & 2019. Fred & George that is, not Keith & Mary! My takeaway - a couple who raise goldfish together, stay together!
Splash (38) and Splish (36) - Haley and Matthew Wright never did anything particularly special to care for Splash. He swam around his tank all day, ate regular fish food, and fed on live plants in his tank. Splish and Splash were funfair prizes won by the Wrights in 1977 (bit of a common theme there). Mr. Wright believes that Splash mourned for Splish when he was no longer around. PS If it is annoying I listed splash before splish you may be OCD ;)
Sharkey (24) – I reckon best name, hands down! Another goldfish who survived a near death experience. His owner Paul's mother found him belly up in his bowl. She thought he was dead and flushed him down the toilet. However, Sharky was still alive and swam back up the pipe and was saved in time. I guess he felt a bit shitty about that ;)
Bob (20) from the UK – well, it's a solid name for sure. I wonder if it is because he "Bobbed" up and down in his bowl? Bob experienced his 15 minutes of fame in 2017 when his family noticed that he was struggling to swim and developed a lump on his fin. They decided to spend $250 on an operation to save his life. I'm pleased to report the operation was successful and Bob fully recovered. The doc said that his family was very pleased with the outcome as Bob was older than their children and considered part of their family.
I hope these goldfish ramblings brighten your day. Thanks kindly for any likes/comments, they are always appreciated.
Waterscape 34/100 in 2025
Trying to get my photographic bearings after the recent family tragedy done very little shooting, but started to look at my work in progress folder, images that I have marked for a serious look and possibly processing of the image Raw or jpeg. My workflow after the screening process is not complicated if the jpeg is outstanding, then I will not go to the Raw file and work with the file as is, which is the case with this image of the annual “Tribute in Lights” which occurs every September 11 in tribute to that tragic day back in 2001. This past September, I went with my fellow photographic colleagues of the Meetup Group NYC Photographers on a photowalk specifically for capturing the “Tribute in Lights” first meeting in Brooklyn but the Brooklyn Bridge Park then walking across the Brooklyn Bridge to Manhattan and we made our way to Battery Tunnel where we all captured some beautiful images. This image taken with the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III, using an Olympus Zuiko 8mm f3.5 ED Fisheye Lens mounted on a Benro Tripod. This image required little or no processing, some contrast tweaking was about it. It was one of the last photowalks I went on with the NYC Photographers prior to my move, a great group of photographers whose companionship I miss since moving out west with my west coast damsel; many many fun photo outings with them over the last almost decade.

I had recently reworked this stack with a new workflow and wanted to upload it again.
This stack is a stack of nearly identical images (only a couple degrees of rotation of the heavens difference between each consecutive shot taken one after the other). It is not a composite of different images.
Knowing that, if you are paying attention, you may find yourself scratching your head as to how I got this shot.

#everynamecounts challenge: half done!
The #everynamecounts challenge has been running since yesterday at 8 a.m. and thanks to the help of many volunteers, we have already recorded more than half of the 30,000 prisoner cards from the Stutthof concentration camp.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you very much! Keep going, build the world's largest digital memorial for the victims and survivors of National Socialism with us and share the challenge with your contacts: everynamecounts.arolsen-archives.org/

A shot taken across Kingsgate Bay Beach. I was looking to combine the reflection and the large fog bank which had moved just off shore.
This is also the first image I have processed using ON1 Raw Edit 25, as I have changed my workflow for 2025, and I am learning a new suite of tools to see if that gives me the results I like.
Shot on Leica X typ 113,
These days, CSS's AF5 from Burnham can often head east out of the namesake yard around 1830, once a majority of rush hour passenger trains have cleared. After seeing the train begin to drag out of the yard, the decision was made to head to Parrish, the railroad location at a strange mile long segment wedged between Hammond, East Chicago, and Gary. Here they are, about to drop down one of the many hills on the west end of the railroad - this one being the flyover where the Indiana Harbor Belt and Kennedy Avenue run north-south below. The normal power for this run (and AF4 in the morning) are the railroad's two SD38-2s, 805 and 804, which I've shot far too many times.
Obviously no one likes backlighting - and I'm sure those of us that would bother with this train are few and far between. So, with the sun still well above the horizon (and the center of this frame) I cranked as low as I could - and am rather satisfied with the result.
With forecast highs only into the 60s these last few days, my "autumnal" Lightroom workflow has resurfaced - this look only works this time of year!
- Thanks to everyone who looked at my picture, favors and have commented. Please press "L" or "Z" for a large view - an absolute must to fully enjoy this picture!
Said Bear has had a word with me about improving my workflow - whatever that means - and we published this picture directly from within Shotwell (a photo manager for Linux).
Said Bear has definitely settled into his new home, and I think he is actually taking over. No bad thing tbh.
For people not from Australia, Uluru or Ayers Rock is a massive sandstone monolith, the red centre desert which is also almost the centre of Australian Continent as well.
I was very intimidated by the beauty of the landscape used in the August video Workflow and having exhausted my mountain landscape photos, I thought to come up with something completely different, something Australian. And what can be more Australian than Uluru?
I took this pano when we went to the dinner Under the Outback Sky poetically called "Sounds of silence".
It was an unforgettable experience.
I like not only the red earth but also the puffy clouds that seem to arrange themselves almost concentric over the Rock, like they emanate from it.

Sometimes I wish I had recorded my workflow especially when the results are like this. I tried very hard to replicate it with another similar image but got nowhere near.

(and I found a way to correct bad normals).
The usual workflow in Blender is to manipulate an object - for instance a cube - by extruding faces, or adding subdivisions etc. This way you physically change the cube and model it
into another object.
Geometry Nodes is a totally different workflow. The cube remains unaffected, the modelling is done in a non-destructive, procedural way with a modifier in which you use a whole nodetree to model something.
