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.

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]
Inspired by and Dedicated to Phil for sharing his workflow.
Photography is so subjective and diverse. We all have a certain style, sometimes very distinctive. Often we are so strung up by technical perfection that we forget that Photography is an Art form. I haven't done an "HDR - not for the faint hearted style" for a long time and actually forgot how is was done. Thanks to Phil for sharing his workflow :)
The purpose of sharing my work on Flickr is to show you "My World", the way I see things. And also to learn new things from all of you. I really appreciate constructive critism as it helps to improve, inspires to try new techniques and better oneself. So c'mon down, hit me with your thoughts. I have tough skin (most times) :)
Have a nice week end my friends and remember to make someone close to you happy :)

Finished teaching in Ebisu earlier today and wandered up through Shibuya to Shinjuku, via the Meiji Shrine. This scene seemed a perfect one to try another infra-red shot with Ken's D300 which he has loaned me for a while.
Waited a while for one of the birds to fly through, as that gap in the trees needed filling with something...
Have screen-grabbed the workflow on this shot and will put it all up on japanorama.co.uk asap. Doing a photowalk tomorrow, so I need to get to bed now.
The edges of the trees near the top of the frame have gone a bit weird. To get it perfect would require a bit more work. Really still experimenting with this camera. Will try a black and white version of this too and post it.

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.
Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, Arizona.
In the absence of any recent photography expeditions, I've started going back through older shots that initially failed to make the cut to see if my processing skills have improved over the past few years. Learning the basics of luminosity masking has made a huge difference to not only my workflow generally, but also the level of control that I have over adjustments as a result of the pixel-based masks that can be created based on luminosity values. If interested check out the great luminosity masking tutorials by Sean Bagshaw. Ryan Dyar also has some very helpful tutorials on his site. (Note: I have no affiliation with either Sean or Ryan - I just enjoy their work and have learned much from both).
This picture was taken during a week-long trip with Kevin Benedict and Sky Matthews across the southwest in early January 2015. Over the course of the week, we traveled over 1700 miles, while visiting Zion NP, Bryce Canyon, Death Valley, Coyote Buttes South (i.e. the Wave), Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, Valley of Fire and a few other random locations in and around Nevada, Arizona, Utah and California.
Our only morning in Monument Valley was certainly one of the highlights of the trip. It was easily the coldest morning of the week and waking up for the sunrise was definitely a challenge, especially after staying up half the night shooting stars. It’s a good thing that I was able to pull myself out of bed this particular morning as we were rewarded with the one truly epic sunrise of the trip – and all for the price of some frozen toes and fingers. This picture, however, was actually taken shortly after peak color as many of the clouds began fading back to gray. The sky was truly spectacular just a few minutes before this shot was taken. Unfortunately I was shooting in a different location and had not yet found this particular comp.
Frankly, perhaps because it was taken after the peak colors has faded, the raw image was nothing special and, as a result, this image did not make “the cut.” However, after languishing on my computer for more than two years, I gave it another look and realized that the comp had a lot going for it. As mentioned, my processing skills had also improved in the intervening time since I took the shot and decided that it might be worth the effort to see if I could do anything with the raw image. I’m glad I did. Along the way, I learned a valuable lesson about periodically reviewing old files as this image is now a personal favorite.

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.
Attempting to get back into an 8x10 workflow today. I'm almost happy with this, except for the GD flare. I knew the sun was on the lens, too. So close...
Seneca Improved 8x10, Sironar-N 210/5.6, 18x24 UM-MA in HC-110 dil H (4:45 at 23C). Will be going back when the light is less harsh.

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.

Lake Louise is a lake in Alberta, Canada. The glacial lake is located in Banff National Park, 5 km (3 mi) from the hamlet of Lake Louise and the Trans-Canada Highway.
Lake Louise is named after the Princess Louise Caroline Alberta (1848–1939), the fourth daughter of Queen Victoria and the wife of the Marquess of Lorne, who was the Governor General of Canada from 1878 to 1883.
The emerald colour of the water comes from rock flour carried into the lake by melt-water from the glaciers that overlook the lake. The lake has a surface of 0.8 km2 (0.3 sq mi) and is drained through the 3 km long Louise Creek into the Bow River.
The eastern shore of the lake is dominated by Chateau Lake Louise, one of Canada's grand railway hotels, a luxury resort hotel built in the early decades of the 20th century by the Canadian Pacific Railway.

After much talk of how I was going to write a tutorial the day has finally come and I finally completed it. I need to stop being so lazy...
Anyways I hope this helps those who are beginning to step into HDR as well as those who may want to switch up their workflow a bit. In order to view this it is absolutely necessary to view the original but don't worry because I tried to keep the file size as low as possible so it won't take long to view it.
Here is the link to see the final HDR image that I used for the making of this tutorial.
I created a PDF of the tutorial so you can now print it out. You can grab it here.
If using Firefox and the pdf link doesn't work, right click it then hit save link as... to download it.
Today working on blur and camera raw touches.
Next week a full stream dedicated to hair to wrap up the series
Video available as well as previous workflow videos
