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.

We who spend time in the depths of Photoshop find tools and tricks we like. We repeat them. We try to learn, but we build on a mode of expression.
Shot from a helicopter landing in Vancouver's Coal Harbor yesterday. Tungsten white balance gives it the bluish hue, though I did dial it back a little in PP.
Had to clean a shitload of reflections from the interior glass of the helicopter bubble.
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?
In the process of adjusting materials for set of kitchen/cafe accessories. Each material was created individually ,this is quite comfortable if you use an optimized #VRayGPU. The workflow starts with the references and standard approximate settings, but after a few minutes the shaders are filled with dozens of textures and procedural maps. Main attention is for reflections, the Falloff card and Complex Falloff (free plug-in from SigerShaders that is great for metals) with a little distortion are very suitable for them. For imperfection maps real photos (of course, after postpro - tiling, colorcorrected etc) work well. To say truth, the process took me a little more time than I expected. But it was very exciting but it was a nice time spent. #3dsmax #vray #vrayrender #wine #scanned #glass #shading #photoshop #flickr #colorcorrection #gpu #geforce #postpro #photorealistic #modeling #rendering #art #3d #visualization #project #job #freelance #work #kitchen #rnd #rostov #rostovondon #concept #architecture #design #modeling

*mavenimagery's first completed (publish ready) image ever to be posted on Flickr.
Workflow: The image www.flickr.com/photos/maven_imagery/5300759391/in/photost... was 16-bit RAW image.
For a 3D effect processed seperately in IRET (First Pass in 32-bit). Then combined with the 3 bracketed EV's which were tone mapped in Photomatix.
Tone mapped image combined with the image below and post processed in IRET (Second Pass in 48-bit). Time: 7 hrs 48min.
If you have a monitor at least with 1000:1 Contrast ratio (not to be confused with the 20.000-5 million Dynamic contrast ratio questionably marketed monitors. Ask for more on this subject if interested) this image should look OK and serve the purpose. Simple math: think of 200.000:1 as opposed to standard max 500:1 and above the standards 1000:1, which is the only budget monitor available in the market.
If this is what we get at 1000:1, and a plasma screen is only marginally better at a claimed 4000:1, what then would you say if I showed you a display with a contrast ratio of 200,000:1? Let me introduce the world's first Extreme Dynamic Range Display.
To test your knowledge answer True or False
to the following quiz
The term "32-bit colour" is actually a misnomer when talking about display colour depth. Many people believe that it represents some 4.2 billion colours, but in reality, it is just 24-bit True colour plus a further 8-bits of alpha transparency.
If you answered False then it's time to do some research or Ask Maven

i try a new workflow to get the "advertising look" is it Good enough?!
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 :)

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.
Photography is just a journey like so many other things in life; we make mistakes, some of us more than others, but hopefully we learn from them and do things better next time.
It is always interesting to see how styles and techniques develop and evolve over the years. This image is from my earliest days of using a DSLR, a time when I thought pixels were those little creatures at the bottom of the garden and exposure compensation was just getting dressed in the morning before going out on a cold day. I’ve still no idea what those words mean but I have read them in a book, a book which is now doing a sterling job of keeping the coffee table level.
So this image, although being 8 years old, is still one of my all-time favourites and after a little encouragement I’ve given it a little tweak following my normal workflow these days; a few nips and tucks, adjusted highlights and shadows, a little bit of split toning, a spray tan and finally a slight crop.
It was originally posted with a pink border! What was I thinking? It brought to mind the time as a teenager when I had one of those Starsky jackets which I wore with bright red jeans and cowboy boots. OMG! You’re probably better not thinking about that for too long!
Sadly for you I have not got any photos, you really would fall off your chair!
So that raises the question; what has been your worst fashion disaster?
The music for today is just mainstream pop. It’s got very little to do with this image apart from the fact that I like the tune and the colours reminded me of this photo; see I’m from simple stock. The video is quite wacky too, like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang on acid and purely by coincidence the track is by LSD!
Now before you get any ideas, I’m firmly in the Grange Hill corner, ‘Just Say No’.
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]

I haven't done a non-HDR in a while, so I thought that it might be time to! This is a 32 image pano/vertorama of the inside of the Mellon Arena that I took during the skating party that they had for the employees a few weeks ago.
I thought that the creases in the roof looked kind of like a spider, the distortion looked so cool! I think that CS5 did a great job of stitching!
Once again, thanks for all of your visits!
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 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.

French Journal Day 151 (Travel Diary Day 231)
(For the best quality image, see my journal - www.throughstrangelenses.com/2013/03/01/paris-church-vert...)
We have attained, for the first time in 6 months, a sense of normalcy in our lives. From going out shooting the wonderful city of Paris with locals and attending meetups with running clubs, to walking the dog and working during the day, we are almost on the brink of establishing a fairly normal routine.
This will come to an abrupt end in a little over 2 weeks when we leave Paris and begin driving around Europe.
Rachel is beginning to have doubts about the whole idea. She’s worrying about the cost and what benefit, if any, it will have on us in the long term. Although we have continual income from our work on the internet, Europe is an expensive place and I don’t know many people who can happily afford to travel around it continuously for 3 months without it making a serious dent in the bank account.
She wants to do it, of course, it’s just a big step, especially considering we still have the Americas to explore. I wonder sometimes if I’m doing it simply for selfish reasons. Developing an impressive portfolio is a must for any photographer and I’m no different. The idea of seeing and capturing so many amazing shots drives me on.
The truth is, as the months have passed by we have continued to make more and more progress in establishing for ourselves successful Internet careers – Rachel doesn’t want that to stop and neither do I. We won’t be working as much while we’re on the road which may negatively impact us.
But, as we’ve always believed, it’s better to take the risk and have the experience than to wonder what may have been.
Today’s Photo – St. Paul St. Louis church
Yesterday Rachel and I met up with Wendy, an Ozzie living over here who helped me organise the Photowalk. She kindly showed us around some parts of central Paris. Later we were joined by Joana and David, who also live in the city.
In the late afternoon we came across this church, St. Paul St. Louis, which was preparing for a special mass to coincide with the resignation of the Pope.
I processed this using the workflow found in my HDR tutorial, minus the vertorama stitching - www.hdrone.com/beginners-hdr-photography-course-art-of-hdr/
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.

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.
20090114: Added to favorites 100 times.
This IR thingy is getting too addictive. =))
My workflow still leaves a lot to be desired, but I'm learning new things everytime I shoot IR and load it to be post-processed. Baby steps. =)
