As your eyes adjust a magical thing starts to happen. What was a few stars begins to crystalize into a myriad and more. Those tiny, glittering points of light, each representing an unimaginably large star, makes one feel tiny by comparison. A million points of light, and yet we know that in reality it is a number so vast that it would take a supercomputer a million years to count them all. Wow!

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.
Today working on blur and camera raw touches.

The Des Moines Capitol complex is home to several amazing spiral staircases. I spent four hours photographing the place and I only made it through two of the four floors. I highly recommend visiting here if you get the chance. They allow tripods, they encourage photography, the tours are free and the staff is GREAT.
This shot was an experiment to see how much distortion my 15-85 lens has in tight spaces. The earlier HDR shots of this same stairwell were all done out of one frame - I did not recompose between each shot. This image is a composite of 24 images (six exposures x 4 compositions). I wanted to see how things looked when I photographed the entire stairwell.
As you can see there is some distortion around the edges, but nothing too bad. I rather enjoyed shooting up there - as I said earlier the staff is great.
Here is my workflow:
6 HDR images shot with a Canon 7d, 15-85 and a Vanguard Tripod
Repeat step 1 three additional times to capture the rest of the stairs. I worked counter-clockwise
Edit in Lightroom and Nik HDR Efx
Import to CS4 and assemble this with the photomerge tool
Fix some minor distortion, dodge and burn as needed.
Add border and watermark

Even though currently I don't make my main income from photography I hope someday I will.
VSCO 04 is revolutionizing my workflow, not only because of the great presets, but also the wonderful accompanying tool kits that are included. For this candid, I used Agfa Scala 200 Contrast ++ as a starting point. The good folks at VSCO recommend adjusting the exposure and the white balance and then apply the preset of choice ― sage advice and one I always follow. So from the Agfa Scala 200 Contrast ++ preset, I then played with a few sliders in the Black & White Mix block, added a slight curve, increased my black point with the tool kit and added a little grain.
Processing time, 30 seconds, saving the new forked preset 4 seconds, uploading a post from Lightroom directly to the Blog via the LR/Blog plugin 15 seconds, coming to a look I find pleasing for street photography in less than a minute ― priceless. Thanks VSCO!

Faith
A poem by Katie Gabrielle
Faith rises from the heart
And lives in the soul.
Faith is a choice
One makes each and every day.
What is seen and unseen
Faith brings the intangible into
focus.
To reach out and touch the
untouchable, knowing that
there is a better life.
Bringing light to the darkness
along an unknown path, that is
faith.
Helping a stranger in need that
we have never met. That is faith.
Trusting that today is great, but tomorrow will be better, that is faith.
Letting go of anger and filling your heart with happiness, that is faith.
Saying thank you for today and all that life brings, that is faith.
I appreciate all comments, faves, and follows.

Oregon's Three Fingered Jack, under dramatic sunset skies.
It's been far too long since I've shot or posted any images of my favorite subject, mountains. Got out for my first backpacking trip of the summer with Erin and Kibby. Based on last year's evidence, we figured the flowers would be poppin' - but it turned out to be far too early for them here. Thus, I settled on this pulled-back composition of a stream, which was nicely reflecting the late (and brief) explosion of sky color.
If you like the way my images look, you may be interested in knowing that I teach my post-processing workflow online via Skype! I also have a workshop coming up with Alex Mody in Olympic National Park this September, which has remaining spaces. Check out my website for more info: www.alexnoriegaphotography.com

Early morning today at Praia da Urça. We met at 6am and drove to the westernmost point of Europe. From here we started the descent of the cliff. It is some 400 meters down. It was still dark but we started seeing the path, as dawn was starting to appear from the east, in our backs. At eleven we had the cameras full and it was time to go back to Lisbon. When we start this early we get the sensation of stealing time from people who stayed at home asleep.

On a two-acre triangle of park land overlooking City Hall Plaza, a memorial has been built to recall the Dallas Police officers killed in the line of duty. A stainless steel construction emerges from the site like a figurative officer's shield and carries the badge numbers and names of police killed in the line of duty.

Testing DxO PureRAW 6. I had not upgraded to Version 5 and occasionally used Version 4 - but most of the time I relied on Adobe ACR and the various Topaz plugins (and lately Topaz Photo).
DxO PureRAW requires a totally different workflow as it is used prior to processing the image in ACR. It's main benefits are the much better lens corrections that are applied and it also appears that it performs better noise reduction than ACR does (and also Topaz).
DxO PureRAW 6 offers the option to write a compressed DNG files (allegedly lossless) that usually is smaller than even the original RAW file (and not the usual 3-5x file size of a regular DNG).
One problem I have is that I cannot get the compressed DNG to preview in the file explorer in windows. Makes it rather useless to keep. So my current solution is to write those DNG files into a temporary folder and delete after I finished processing. There is no option to export into ACR without writing a file; there is an option to open as a smart object directly into photoshop but that doesn't suit me at all as I am used to do most of my processing in ACR.
I may keep DxO PureRAW updated but will no longer update DxO PhotoLab as I rarely ever use it and DxO PureRAW gives me the two items I value most - lens correction and denoise.
I also just cancelled my Capture one subscription. I intended to use the program for my Sony images (general photography) but I simply can't get used to the program and it therefore is not worth the $200/year for me anymore.
This full, free video tutorial is now available for you to download and watch! It shows how to create this image, from beginning to end, and it includes the raw files and my luminance mask action set!

The next round from current project built around this year's cherry blossom season. I've decided to tackle this project in a different way, With these images, I'll publish 3 different versions. The first will be a "stock" image that will be uncropped and will only have my basic RAW processing. The second will have my color edit - sometimes, the changes will be subtle, on others it might be a dramatic difference. The third iteration will show my B&W edit. I'm not going to share my (sometimes involved) workflow on these images - but all were shot with my Olympus OM-D e-M1.2 with the m.Zuiko 25mm f1.2 Pro lens (usually wide open, but not exclusively).

Probably the question that I get asked more than any other is about my photography workflow. I actually feel like my photography workflow is pretty simple so I thought I'd write up a brief post documenting my process all the way from photo capture to photo publishing. Feel free to ask any questions if you need me to elaborate on things.
1. Step one, capture the image: I carry my Canon 5D and 5 lenses (24mm, 14mm, 50mm, 135mm, 100mm macro) with me in a backpack every where I go. I take advantage of the routine time wasted in a day to turn that time into photography. Walking to and from the BART train. Going out for lunch. Waiting in line somewhere. All kinds of everyday moments become photographic opportunities.
Of course I also go out on specific photowalks all the time. Sometimes these are weekend trips away from home, other times they are just evenings out shooting with friends or with my wife. I use 2 8GB SanDisk cards.
To learn more about what is in my camera bag you can read this post here.
2. Step two, transfer the image to the computer: Here I use a high speed USB card reader. All card readers are not created equal. Spend the extra few bucks and get a high speed reader. Every day or other day I use my card reader to offload images on my camera card to my computer. In my case when I plug in my card reader Canon's "Camera Window" software automatically loads. This software then pulls all of my images off of my CF card and puts them into folders on my computer titled by date taken. After my images are transferred to my MacBook Pro I then put the card back in the camera and delete the images off of it. If I'm on an all day shoot I'll take breaks during my day (coffee, lunnch, etc.) to take a moment and clear out my cards.
Bonus Link: 13 Tips for Using and Caring for Memory Cards.
3. Step three, sort photos: Here I open the folder that has all of the RAW files from a given day's images using Adobe's Bridge software. I create a subfolder in the dated folder called "maybe." I go through the day's photographs and I drag anything that I think might have potential into the "maybe" folder.
4. Step four, first pass processing using Adobe Camera RAW: My next step is to open all images in a day's maybe folder using Adobe Camera RAW (comes with both Photoshop CS3 and Lightroom). You simply select all of the images in your maybe folder, right click, and select "Open in Camera RAW." This is where 95% of my photo processing is done.
With camera RAW you can adjust the contrast of a photo, the exposure of a photo, the saturation of a photo. You can adjust the temperature of a photo (the reason why some white lights are sulfur yellow and other white lights are soft blue), you can adjust the vignette (black or white edges around a photo), fill lighting, etc. Adobe Camera RAW uses sliders to make these adjustments and it is easy as pie.
After I get an individual image to where I want it I will use the "Save" button in camera RAW to save that finished photo as a JPG in a new folder "Finished Images."
After I process my first pass imagery I move that date's archive folder off my Mac and onto my drobo to back it up and store it more safely. Note, none of my RAW files are ever saved as processed. I consider my RAW files my negatives and always want to be able to go back to them and process from scratch if need be.
5. Step five, 2nd pass processing: Once I've finished my first pass processing I will point Bridge to the "finished images" folder. Here I will look at each finished JPG image in as large a format as possible looking for photos that need additional work. Typically less than 10% of my photos need additional work beyond camera RAW.
The type of work here is all done in Photoshop. As I go through the images I look for a few things consistently. Images that need slight sharpening. Images that have dust spots on them that need to be fixed with the cloning tool in Photoshop. Images that could benefit from dodging or burning, etc. As I see an image in Bridge that needs additional fine tuning I will double click on the image in Photoshop, make my edits, save the file and close it.
6. Step six, keywording: My next step is to keyword all of my photos using Adobe Bridge. Adobe Bridge has pretty powerful keywording capabilities. I can batch and bulk keyword photos. I might start out, for instance, keywording every single photo I just processed as "Las Vegas" "DMU Las Vegas Meetup 2008" "Vegas". From there I then might go through sub batches and keyword them (say Caeser's or Wynn or Venetian). From there I might then bulk keyword certain frequently used attributes (neon, mannequin, graffiti, night, etc.). And then I go through each image individually adding any final keywords image by image.
Keywording is important because these keywords will be automatically read as tags by sites like Flickr and Zooomr. It also allows you better to search your finished imagery in the future on your computer. The Importance of Keywording Your Photos.
7. Step seven, geotagging: Here I use a free program called Geotagger. Geotagger works with Google Earth and allows you to pinpoint a spot on the planet using Google Earth and then drag and drop any images from that location onto the program and geotags them with that coordinate. Geotagger only works for the Mac but there are lots of other free geotagging programs like Geotagger out there that work with Windows. When you geotag your photos at the file level both Flickr and Zooomr automatically add them to the meta data on your photo and place them on their site maps.
8. Step eight, sort finished photos into A or B to be uploaded folders: My next step is to go through my imagery and basically sort 80/20. What I feel are my strongest 20% go into a folder "B." The rest go into a folder "C."
9. Step nine, publish: I publish twice a day usually but this is by no means a hard and fast rule. Once in the morning and once in the evening. I typically publish 10-15 photos at a time selected mostly at random from my growing pool of "to be uploadeds."
I make sure that when I upload these 10 or 15 shots in a batch that the "B" shots are uploaded last as Flickr and Zooomr only highlight the last 5 shots that you upload in an upload batch. I want these to be what I feel are my better images.
And that's it. I'm sure that there are more efficient ways that I could be processing my imagery but this has worked for me for a while now. Feel free to ask any questions as the above might sound a bit complicated to some.

I’m often asked how I create my AI photography images—especially by those using the same tools but getting very different results. Here’s a brief tutorial outlining my process for crafting refined AI visuals:
1.Start with a Line Sketch
Create a clean line drawing of your subject. Scan it at a minimum of 300 dpi for optimal clarity—this resolution consistently yields the best results.
2.Recover with AI Photo Tool
Use an AI photo recovery tool to transform your sketch into a base image. I typically select the “Severe” setting to maximize structural fidelity.
3.Enhance with AI Image Tool
Apply an AI image enhancement tool to refine detail. I prefer Version 2 with a 6-pass setting and the “Photography” filter for depth and realism.
4.Retouch for Precision
Use a photography retouch tool to eliminate blemishes, wrinkles, extra fingers, or other AI-generated artifacts. Zoom in closely to catch subtle errors. The lasso tool offers excellent control once mastered.
5.Smooth with Light Enhancement
Apply a light-setting enhancement to correct any smearing from the retouch phase. This step improves lighting, restores clarity, and sharpens the final image.
6.Finalize with Branding
Add your watermark or company symbol to complete the piece and protect your creative identity.

You Talkin' to Me?
A poem by Katie Gabrielle
Are you talking to me?
With your nose up in the air
Do you think that I care
What you got to say
If you can't say something
Nice to me
Then please go away.
I may be an ass
Or a mule in donkey's guise
But I have a heart that cries
Just take a look at my eyes
Are you talking to me?
Then say something sweet
Talk about candy and music
That's sweet!
Don't try to be cool
Because I know better
Talking is like living
It's all in the giving.
Are you talking to me?
Then say something good
Then maybe I 'll say
Something worth saying
And that's all I gotta say!
I'm just a mule in donkey's
Guise. Some call me an
Ass but I know better.
Are you talking to me?
