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.
An attempt at HDR panorama, tested it on the beautiful city of Bologna.
Here is my workflow for those interested :
- Bracketed images at +- 2 1/3
- Imported all images into Hugin as one panorama
- Exported 3 panoramas, one per exposure (Hugin allows that easily)
- Merged the 3 panoramas into HDR Efex Pro 2.
I hope you have a wonderful day and week-end, my friends
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.

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.

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.

My first upload for 2013. Nothing special, my inactivity has caused me to forget simple workflow actions (close viewfinder when doing LE's, select the right channel on wireless remote etc. etc.). I did try a few weeks back to come back with a more "classic" landscape at Three Cliffs,but due to a very strong wind and being unable to get to the right spot safely meant I came back with nothing. Today was just a quick stint down at Weston to blow away the cobwebs.

Badbury Clump | Oxfordshire | England
I've not had the chance to get out much with the camera recently, so I've revisited the batch of shots I took on a morning autumn walk around Badbury Clump Woods.
I realised I took several dozen photos on my morning trek. But I particularly liked this shot and how the thin rays of light were trying to break through the thick fog that encompassed the woodland.
I've processed it in Lightroom, using a new workflow that I've been attempting with split toning. It's my first attempt and something I will need to practice a lot more. But for now, I'm enjoying the peaceful atmosphere that this image conveys to me.
Location:
Badbury Hill, managed by The National Trust, is an area of woodland with great views of the Thames flood plain to the north and the historic market town of Faringdon to the east.
The remains of an Iron Age hill fort from about 600BC are close to the car park in Badbury Clump, famous for its beech trees and bluebells.
The woodland paths and trails are perfect for a family walk and this National Trust property is very popular with dog lovers.
The woods are located just off the B4019 between Coleshill and Faringdon. There is Free Parking (although charges will apply from 2016). The car park has some pretty big pot holes, so go careful!
