Lately I have been re-examining some of my post-processing workflow and trying to master new techniques such as exposure blending, luminosity masks and LAB color. I've re-examined some earlier pictures and decided that in my effort to widen the dynamic range I sometimes went too far and created an unnatural appearance. This old picture of Mount Moran is one that I reworked to better convey my current aesthetic vision.
The Colosseum or Coliseum , also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre , is an oval amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy. Built of concrete and sand, it is the largest amphitheatre ever built. The Colosseum is situated just east of the Roman Forum. Construction began under the emperor Vespasian in 72 AD, and was completed in 80 AD under his successor and heir Titus. Further modifications were made during the reign of Domitian (81–96). These three emperors are known as the Flavian dynasty, and the amphitheatre was named in Latin for its association with their family name (Flavius).
The Colosseum could hold, it is estimated, between 50,000 and 80,000 spectators, having an average audience of some 65,000; it was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles such as mock sea battles, animal hunts, executions, re-enactments of famous battles, and dramas based on Classical mythology. The building ceased to be used for entertainment in the early medieval era. It was later reused for such purposes as housing, workshops, quarters for a religious order, a fortress, a quarry, and a Christian shrine.

Self-portrait, 1st image of the new year.
I've been going through so many changes creatively. I've slowed down my workflow, been building in my studio, and I've let go of the expectations I put on myself. I'm entirely free. It feels amazing.

for those interested in iphonography, the itemization of the workflow used for the images in this series might prove helpful.
oh, and i've created a group for black and white images. you might wanna join.
The Belem tower was built in the early 16th century and is a prominent example of the Portuguese Manueline style, but it also incorporates hints of other architectural styles.The structure was built from lioz limestone and is composed of a bastion and a 30-metre (98.4 ft), four-storey tower. It has incorrectly been stated that the tower was built in the middle of the Tagus and now sits near the shore because the river was redirected after the 1755 Lisbon earthquake. In fact, the tower was built on a small island in the Tagus River near the Lisbon shore.

"Joel Tjintjelaar's" new version of Artisan Pro X 2021 demystifies and removes all the intimidation of Photoshop for the novice, hobbyist and enthusiast interested in taking their creations to a higher level. Professionals with advanced photoshop skills will admit that Artisan Pro X is a revelation.
AP X 2021 when used in conjunction with Joel's Advanced Masking, creating the sky and foreground channel masks, has become an uncomplicated and fast process. Thus making the rest of the processing so much easier. As a result the beginner's search to finding their visual style is about to become easier and exciting.
I have been using Artisan Pro X and Quick Mask Pro for several years in my teaching and mentoring classes. Joel's Latest version of AP X 2021 has revolutionized Photoshop with efficient speed, simplicity and removed the cumbersome workflow of luminosities and gradients. Learning Photoshop has never been so easy when applying the AP X workflow.
Ok, looks like the colors are a bit better now. This has some issues with sharpening. Ugh. Gotta work on my workflow some. Thought I'd post to illustrate my learning process. Here 'tis.
Check out my VIDEO TUTORIALS of the workflows I use to create my HDR images.

Lake Louise rests at the bottom of a glacial valley and gets its beautiful turquoise color from sediment trapped in the water that runs into the lake from the melting snow.
I thought this particular mountain was amazing due to it's shape and all the different patterns of color. I saw this dead tree sticking out over the lake pointing towards the peak of the mountain and thought it would be a cool shot.
This is a 3 exposure HDR. I tried exposure fusion at first, but this one looked much better as an HDR.

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.

It started with a photo of Dale at the end of a row of backlit small chokecherries. Then twirl workflow. I wasn't happy with the result so I twirled again then took it in Topaz Studio. Les Sherman park, Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. 7 October 2020.

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.
It's the time of the year when I should've renewed my editing software subscription. But this time I decided to try something different. This photo was the first one I made with ON1 Photo RAW and overall I'm pleased with my decision to switch to a different software. It takes time to learn new workflow but so far I've liked ON1.
Yet another Yellowlegs shot (there are even more still). Yet again from the ghillie suit. I love this set up.
The weather, tide, and birds weren't working out too well at the estuary all day. Then, shortly before sunset, it came together and I had some good opps with the Yellowlegs.
Editing disclosure: Minor modification to background and water to remove a few distractions.
