Alfred Hitchcock "Mister H." by JuliSonne :-))
I've always had a passion for street art, and at some point I was reluctant to try it myself. There are so many ways to present street art. Stencil, graffiti, blasting, blowing up, gluing with ribbons .... I tried a stencil. A stencil is a template work. Each part is drawn on stencils and everything that is to be made visible will cut out with a skapel or cutter and later sprayed. Depending on how much colours it should be and how many motifs or text should be visible ... there are several templates. There is a lot of work and time in it and I admire the right artists. And I have a penchant too for old Hitchcock movies so I thought ... HE should be him. There is no message in this picture. It was just the pleasure of tasting.
In the following you can see the workflow in a collage.
=====================
Ich hatte schon immer ein Faible für Street Art und irgendwann hatte ich Bock, es auch selbst zu versuchen. Es gibt so viele Möglichkeiten, Street Art zu präsentieren. Schablone, Graffiti, Strahlen, Sprengung, Kleben mit Bändern ... Ich habe ein Stencil versucht. Ein Stencil ist eine Schablonenarbeit. Jeder Teil wird auf Schablonen gezeichnet und alles was sichtbar gemacht werden soll, wird mit einem Skapell oder Cutter ausgeschnitten und später besprüht. Je nachdem wieviel farbig es sein soll und wieviele Motive oder Schrift sichtbar werden sollen...es werden mehrere Schablonen. Es steckt viel Arbeit und Zeit darin und um so mehr bewundere ich die richtigen Künstler. Und ich habe ein Faible für alte Hitchcock Filme also dachte ich mir... ER soll es sein. Es ist keine Message in diesem Bild. Es war einfach die Lust am Probieren.

A workflow explanation. We were rained off on our visit to the Wildfowl Centre at Martin Mere. I grabbed two duck shots in the car park and left. We visited a nearby farm restaurant and saw a stuffed owl. It wasn't awfully inspiring in its case but I tried several clicks. All the preferable angles for the bird were worst for reflections. The best of several end results is probably bottom right rather than the one in my earlier post. Anyway here is how it went. Top left is the original unedited stuffed owl in its highly reflective glass case in the Brandreth Barn Restaurant. Top right is a phone shot of the moon and cherry blossoms. I extracted the owl from picture one and touched up the reflections by copying the left half of the image, pasting it to the right side of the face then introducing appropriate distortions so that it matched the original image but covered the bright face thus removing the reflection on the glass. For the lower left rather unsuccessful version I pushed the owl to the frame edge so that the moon was visible and added light and shade to the head. It is unfortunately looking out of the frame. The lower right version shows the head flipped horizontally so that it is now looking into the frame. I then rendered local highlights on the moon side of the face and a neutral density shadow on the other side. I drew a few tiny, curved feathery lines to soften the paste up. Introducing some "lens blur" to the background also helped the owl to sit more realistically in the frame. My original post was too sharp in the background.
I post this image of an Osprey gathering cut hay for a nest and being chased away by a Killdeer as a reminder to myself.
I need to have my gear and my settings ready before I get to a site. This image could have been so much better with a little more speed and concentration on my part. It was neat to see but not the kind of image I would have liked it to be.
Next time.

I think I've described my workflow after a day's shoot in the past. Nothing special about it. I come back with 500-1000 shots (more or less). I go through all of them and delete the usually relatively small number that are out of focus, or where I missed what I was shooting at.
I go through a second time and delete some photos in cases where I shot in burst mode and there may be five or six essentially identical images. Over time that would cost a fair amount of storage space. I'll take the time to determine which two, or three are in the best focus, and eliminate the redundant exposures.
In that process I also save to a special file the photos -- generally a small percentage -- which I think are particularly worthwhile and which I would want to use for Flickr. All of this determined on a single pass through.
Generally my instincts are good as far as initially selecting the best shots for future use. A surprising amount of the time, though, a later return to look at the others seems to show me different images, or a different way of seeing some of them. Hence the value of the X-files...er...archives.
This photo was one skipped over five years ago, foir specific reasons...and not just overlooked. The out of focus bloom front left marred the composition. The position of the bee is not classic, and there were plenty of better posed shots.
Looking back now, with the advantage of highsight and always evolving preferences, I see something a bit special in this shot. Simply put, it has an out of the ordinary quality.
Bees on blue flowers are rather unusual. Bees on purple ones are as sympatico as peanut butter and jelly, or ham and eggs. My stream, and my archives, are filled with bees on purple flowers. Not many at all, though on blue ones.
So I re-evaluated this shot...as each of us should do every exposure from time to time. I gave additional value to the color of the flower, decided the bee's position and sharpness were fine, and actually sort of liked the out of focus bud.
All of that just explains this particular photo showing up after five years...as we await the 2016 return of the bees, bugs and butterflies.

I always think that it's interesting to see someones workflow for photoediting so I recorded mine to show you :)
This was a more complicated task where I had to use Lightroom and Photoshop.
How do you edit your pictures?
I could not wait to make the stack and a first processing even by the poor resolution of the notebook. It was an object that I always wanted to do, but because of the low on the horizon and resulting light pollution high, it is difficult to shoot well. Palombaggia such provisions be made with the help of Valentina, and the support of Rino, and the night before with the French friends and Mathew and Tibo, it was possible to take the photo in all its majesty (for us who live in the northern hemisphere)
edit v.2 : color balance and gradient fix at home pc :)
edit v.3 - apply my new personal workflow on processing that reduce noise, and that's the result :)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rho_Ophiuchi_cloud_complex
The Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex is a dark nebula of gas and dust that is located 1° south of the star ρ Ophiuchi of the constellation Ophiuchus. At an estimated distance of 131 ± 3 parsecs, this cloud is one of the closest star-forming regions to the Solar System.
technial specs of this shot:
100mm Canon EF 2.8@4.5
Canon 600D full spectrum mod

50x2mins @1600ISO ~ 1h30min total exposure time
taken from nearby Palombaggia, beach, South Corse
Seven images in one stop increments, taken with Nikon D600, Tamron 24-70, 2.8 @ f13. Workflow and final edit in Lightroom 5.7, Layer and fusing in Photomatix Pro 5, Color and effects in NIK Collection, Logo in Gimp 2.8. I started with nine images, but the 2+ and 3+ overexposed were blown way out, because of the sun, so I omitted them. The sky was also washed out so I used a ND Filter effect in NIK Collection.
•The truth about Yosemite: www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Sexual-Harassment-Common-in...
With my last post “Decorating a Tree” I used the term “torture”. With the recent Senate Intelligence Committee on CIA Torture; I’d like to elaborate on this. Like so many times before; the CIA lied and said they did not torture, and when it was exposed they called it Enhanced Interrogation. When the Committee’s report said this was torture; the CIA and many Politician tried to justify the use of torture, as the media fell in place and most Americans looked away. Power decoupled from responsibility has become the American way.
Federal Law defines torture as “the intentional infliction of severe physical or mental pain or suffering”. This is also banned by the Convention Against Torture; the International Treaty that the United States ratified in 1994. This requires prosecution of any acts of torture. Acts of torture are prohibited by Federal Law.
A Targeted Individual endures 24/7 Stalking, Harassment, Sleep Deprivation, Street Theater, Gas-Lighting, Workplace Mobbing. These are acts of Conspired Psychological Torture. This is done to US Citizens living on US soil; while our Government and Law Enforcement Look Away. This bombardment of Psychological Torture has been shown to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, metabolic diseases, likelihood of diabetes and cancer. This at the hands of conspired perpetrators involved in Gang Stalking, Community Stalking and Workplace Mobbing. If your son or daughter came to you, said they exposed corruption and illegal activity and are Targeted; would you look away?
Gang Stalking, Community Stalking and Workplace Mobbing are Psychological Torture. These illegal and immoral acts are carried out by residents and contractors; in Yosemite National Park every day, while Yosemite’s Superintendent and Law Enforcement look away.
If you are not familiar with Street Theater and Gas-Lighting; please take the time to research. If you would like ti hear it, put on a good pair of headphones and listen
Thank you for taking the time to visit my photostream.
The workflow to process your photos is for many photographers a well kept secret.
Left: Direct from the scanner and unprocessed. Here the image looks very bad, and most of you wouldn’t even take the time to process the file. But if it wasn't for that I really knew that I got something that morning, I wouldn't too.
Middle: Color corrected, I set every channel with curves. Spot removal (there is a lot when I scan by myself =) Lighten it up a little with Levels. Then re sized the image to around 1800pix.
Right: The final crop, sometimes you have to see the image within the image. One more layer of curves, because in this image I was needed to reduce the red tones in its highlights a little more. Sharpening if needed. The last thing I do is to put that white frame around. For me, that really helps to bring out the best of the image.

“A good photograph is knowing where to stand.” - Ansel Adams
......or in my case, where to lay on the ground....
I crawled army-style on my stomach, about 30 feet through mud and water, to get a close up, low angle view of this Dunlin and a few of his buddies. Carrying the 500mm + extender + camera, plus wearing thick and heavy waders with steel shank boots, was physically exhausting. While I was hand-holding the rig, I was wishing I had my skimmer pod. I’m a bit sore, but it was worth it!
These Dunlin are really cute, and I enjoyed watching them chase the waves back and forth, especially when a splash caught them off guard. Good times!
I appreciate all comments, faves, and follows.

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]

Verse 1
The horizon split in iron light
The sea stood tall, the sky burned white
They begged my hand to turn the wheel
But pride was all I chose to feel
The compass shook, the mast-line cried
The ocean warned — I would not hide
No mortal wind would master me
I swore command upon the sea
Pre-Chorus
I heard the thunder call my name
I knew the cost — I stayed the same
Chorus
I saw the storm and chose it still
I would not bend, I would not kneel
Let heaven break and oceans roar
I am the vow I swore before
No harbor light, no guiding flame
Only the echo of my name
If fate would carve its mark on me
Then let it carve eternally
Verse 2
The sails were torn by unseen hands
The tide withdrew from mortal lands
No stars remained to mark the night
Yet still I steered into their sight
The crew fell silent, one by one
As if the dark had just begun
No prayer survived the salted air
No mercy lingered anywhere
Pre-Chorus
The sea did not need rage or cry
It answered me by standing high
Chorus
I saw the storm and chose it still
I would not bend, I would not kneel
Let heaven break and oceans roar
I am the vow I swore before
No harbor light, no guiding flame
Only the echo of my name
If fate would carve its mark on me
Then let it carve eternally
Bridge (piano + low strings)
There was a moment — brief and small
Where I could have turned at all
A single breath
A single choice
But silence drowned the softer voice
Final Chorus (reduced, darker)
I saw the storm and chose it still
Now time stands frozen at my will
No dawn will rise, no night will cease
Only this endless, salted sea
No cross to bear, no grave to find
Only the wind that binds my mind
If I defied what none command
Then I alone shall ever stand
Final Verse (quiet, ominous)
And still I sail where maps grow thin
Beyond the edge of what has been
No port will claim me, none can warn
Of oath and tide and pride forsworn
If ever through the mist you see
A tattered sail on silver sea
Turn your helm and mark this chart —
Pray you never cross my dark
For I am bound to wind and foam
Exile my crown, the sea my throne
I chose the storm — it chose me then
And still I sail… beyond all men.
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.
I like them when they are walking around.

Another hidden gem nestled somewhere in the midst of my workflow. I absolutely love the color and swirly pattern of the fireworks in this photo.
I've also learned a valuable lesson while shooting fireworks - color balancing is an absolute pain in the ass to perfect, especially when your entire foreground are very yellow buildings, mixed with colorful fireworks and a typically multicolored castle. Be prepared to lose your sanity a few times before you get it down.
