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.

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.

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.

Back to Mt. Washington from Mothers' Day a few weeks ago we go with another candid. I was strolling down Grandview Avenue, the main street down Mt. Washington, heading to the very overlook that this couple was standing on. The last candid I posted was a hurried shot that I was just to get...this one was a bit easier to get, as these two didn't move for a solid three minutes!
As always, you can read about the processing I've done on this shot and all my images on on my blog.
New blog post today, taking it all in! Check it out if you have a chance!
I hope you all had a great weekend!
I don't mind invitations, but please no big, shiny, flashing, glitter graphics, they will be deleted. Also, please contact me if you would like to use my pictures for any reason, as all rights are reserved. Thanks!

I created a Photoshop tutorial showing my workflow to get this shot. See it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOAmP7A_x6c
Here's a frame from a time-lapse I'm working on!
This is the best shot of the Milky Way I've captured with my Canon t3i. I was able to extend the length of time I could do an exposure by mounting the camera to a computerized telescope pan tilt mount. If I go longer than about 40 seconds, I'll still get star trails but they will be centered around the middle of the photo.

Even though currently I don't make my main income from photography I hope someday I will.
Those two exactly same built houses are located in the inner harbour of Duisburg. The coloring on them was really nice.
If you want to know, how I postprocess my night images, I wrote down my workflow on my previous upload.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
Trying a new processing workflow, seems to have a smoother graduation between tones. Tested it out on a photo of a location i like going back to as it is a rather beautiful place for sunset, its rare that i managed to get this walkway free of people as it is also a popular spot for fishing.
Do drop by my facebook page for more updates and behind the scenes photos, hope to see your there!
