Le Suquet is the old quarter of Cannes, probably best known to tourists as the climbing, winding cobbled lane lined with local restaurants, Rue St Antoine. Le Suquet contains a clock tower and church that sit high facing east overlooking the Bay of Cannes and Cannes itself. At the bottom of Le Suquet on Rue Dr. P. Gazagnaire is the Marché Forville, where the market is held in the mornings and early afternoon.
This area is the original fishermans' residential area of Cannes. The houses are all very old. The streets were laid out at least 400 years ago. It is a 5-minute walk from the beach and is full of restaurants around the Rue Saint Antoine and the Rue du Suquet. A lot of the area is pedestrianised and is a major tourist attraction for visitors to Cannes.
The rue du Suquet is the original main road into Cannes. It came in below the walls of the castle (for defence reasons). It is a pedestrian street again and has plenty of restaurants [Wikipedia.org]

Thanks! Now back to the regularly scheduled photo post...

For the record, laying in rotting mud is no picnic - and the putrid smell lasts long after you get home. But it's very important to me that I get a strong connection to my subject by getting as low as possible. For wading birds and some other animals, this means getting in the mud and water (I wear waders)
A very low angle shot gives you the following benefits:
- a more intimate feeling to the image
- a direct eye-to-eye view
- more connection when you're shooting the photos, which adds to the experience, and enables you to anticipate and capture better moments
- a smoother / softer foreground and background
- shots that stand out, from those of the people who stand up when shooting
- plenty of odd looks and comments from gawking crowds
I appreciate all comments, faves, and follows.

Every now and then, I practice still life and product photography. But just for fun. For this one I used a tethered workflow for the very first time.
I generally do not like to complain...about anything. BUT I need some relief! She's only 7 lbs. but she's either in my lap (worse) or on the keyboard or in front of the screen. If I lock her out she scratches at the door and wines. My wife helps but she's got the sister cat to contend with. That's right - double trouble!
It's a wonder I get anything done.
So... I'm trying out DXO's PureRAW and I took one of my "depth finding" shots of the Levy Semaphores. These are throwaway shots used to judge what the shot will look like in a short amount of time... By cranking up the ISO to some ungodly number... in this case, 51200. Completely useless for sharing, but great for telling me in the field what's my image going to look like.
Thanks to DXO's Pure Raw 4, The middle image came out into the world. Further processing in Lightroom classic and Nik ColorEffex results in the lower one... One that's, well, actually usable.
More probally to come now.
Visit my website at akikorhonen.org for more projects, thanks!

My DIY ringflash that I've been doing for the last few days.
(Photo, starting from top left) Description
(1) I started with a 24 cm diameter steel bown and a normal food can.
(2) Added some tape on the bowl and drew the cutting lines with the can as a guide.
(3) Bottom from the bowl and can removed. I also shortened the cat a little bit. I first drilled a hole on the bottom of the bowl and then cut the metal with metal cutters.
(4) The two parts connected with strong epoxy that was meant for metals.
(5) Hole for the flash made and few connecting holes drilled. Also the needed aluminum parts are cut and bent in shape.
(6) The bottom part covered with black hockey tape. In the photo it has a Manfrotto quick attachment plate on it. Also has a hole for attaching it to the tripod mount of the camera.
(7) The top part where the flash is attached. Made some holes for the DIY TTL flash cord.
(8) I added some plastic parts for the flash hole to make it look nicer and to prevent light from escaping too much. Next I added some putty to finish it (wasn't necessary but I got too carried away again with the building).
(9) Putty and the bowl fully sanded and waiting for some gray primer and matte black finish.
(10) Painted and finished. Added some black hockey tape on the can's edge to prevent it from scratching the camera.
(11) Close up of the flash hole. A little bit of aluminum foil tape on the inside and black hockey tape on the edge.
(12) White thin fabric streched and being glued on the edges to get some diffusion to the light. There is a rubber band holding the fabric to the can.
See the finished righflash:
* DIY ringflash finished, without camera
* DIY ringflash finished, with camera
Cost: bowl 3€, can 0€, aluminum 1€ + some extra costs from paints etc. but I'm not going to count them to the total. Cheap anyway.

Photoshop Workflow:- Cropped, masked. Black background added, mirror image added with ocean ripple effect, edges blurred, tones altered, selective burning, plastic wrapped, and airbrush shadows added.
A friend of mine recently asked me to take some pictures of his beautiful Aston Martin DB6 convertible, and this was really dry run to see if I could PS a picture and make it into something special for him. His car is also silver so this was a good test of how much I could push the tone and filter settings to deepen the look of the paint without losing the highlights.
My inspiration came from the pictures of Ken Brown, who probably has the nicest car images on Flickr. I don't have his camera, lighting rigs and studio space - only Photoshop! See:- www.flickr.com/photos/7211625@N06/3026458914/

Shortly after sunrise, I found this male Brewer’s Blackbird watching over his territory. His female partner was nearby, on a fence post; unfortunately, she looked sick. A while later, I found the same two birds foraging on the ground, and confirmed that the female had a broken or diseased leg. It’s sad to see, but it is part of nature - and besides, she seemed to be hanging in there just fine, hopping around on one leg and pecking for food. In any case, it was a pleasure to spend a few minutes with this beautiful species.
I appreciate all comments, faves, and follows.

Discover My New Portrait Editing Workflow!
In this series, I’m sharing the before and after of my portraits to show how my editing process has evolved.
The RAW photo: I always start with a clean, well-lit image to have a solid base.
Editing with Evoto AI: Then I use Evoto to refine the skin naturally and efficiently, preserving texture and authenticity.
Final touches in Photoshop: Finally, I make color adjustments and fine-tune the look for a harmonious result.
If you’d like to learn more about my experience with Evoto, you can read the full article on my blog.
I hope this inspires you and gives you new ideas for your own portrait retouching!

ODC Theme: Work
Even though currently I don't make my main income from photography I hope someday I will.
From camera to computer, what does one do first, and then... and, how to finish up? The archive image here has not been previously uploaded; I chose it because it's a relatively easy edit.
So, when to Resize, at the beginning or at the end of the work session? How about Sharpening?
Wait a minute... if my image has Noise, am I sharpening the noise?!?
And so it goes. Here's what I did with this b/w capture of the massive Calatrava Bridge cables: Resize with no sharpening > Mild noise reduction > Lighting tweaks > Narrow black border.
Feedback welcome, and we'd love to hear how others handle these issues.
