    • Ice abstract with a touch of green...getting in the mood for St. Patrick's Day. (FYI, the colors are all real. They are simple objects that were either reflected by the ice, or whose colors were transmitted by the semi-translucent ice.) DP075-2013. Posted March 16; processed March 15 Taken March 14 from the back deck of the house. This is nothing more than the dome of a bird feeder with a wire mesh ball filled with peanuts under the dome, and a hanging feeder with a green metal top also hanging under the dome. More pictures of the same subject are available starting with this image: http://smu.gs/14cn0Qd
    • A study in the color that can be hidden in nearly monochrome images, especially in "white" light such as that from the sun. Simply amping up the saturation in photoshop brings the colors vividly to life. In contrast, doing a BW conversion, and seeing little detectable change re-enforces just how 'hidden' the colors were. The starting image (referered to as the original below) is a closeup of the perforations of a "sun-brella" that is blocking the sun, which is itself being screened by low thin clouds. DP071-2013. Posted March 12; processed March 11; taken March 10. The four frames, clockwise, starting in the upper right, are: (1) Original full color; (2) 100% saturation applied to (1); (3) BW conversion of (1), rotated 180 degrees; (4) Two filter layers, Fresco and Plastic Wrap, applied at reduced opacity to (2), followed by a 180 degree rotation. The full sized images of these four frames, all in the same orientation, can be see in my 'Fun with Filters' gallery here. In those images you can get a better sense of details of the colors brought out in (2), and the effect of the filters, which is somewhat difficult to see in this composite. http://arctangent.smugmug.com/Photography/Creative-Alterations/Fun-with-filters/10668106_75xhP9 (They're image set #38, currently at the end of the gallery)

    • *Morning Glory - March 1, 2013* I was going to wait to post this, but.... yeah I couldn't resist! These are the fog mornings I dream about. The mornings when I actually get myself up. The mornings I will always remember going forward. No matter how much I shoot this bridge (A lot) I just don't get sick of it, and get a different shot with different weather, every time. It seemed liked everyone made it out this morning too (Except that person that claims he has a phone... Bonocore) Good seing Alan, Joe, Amy, Rob, Max and Larry. And Jeff's silhouette up on Slakers! Can't complain at all about this morning! Except for getting a bit sick after I got back home, but it was all worth it. This is a 69 Second shot at ISO 250, f/10 and LEE Big Stopper. And I got some epic timelapses!
    • Wet snow clinging to tree branches. I applied the stamp filter to this one to emphasize fins of snow as well as the branches. DP059-2013. Posted February 28; processed ditto Ann Arbor, Michigan February 27, 2013
    • After a day of rain, sleet, then snow, trees and large limbs had fallen overnight. More snow is expected during the day today. Ann Arbor, Michigan February 27, 2013
    • Still feeling pale and out of focus, as befits the smudge stick filter I applied here. I seem to be exchanging one locus of misery (head) for another (throat and lungs). Once I run out of body parts, I have to get well, right? Thanks for all your well wishes, and from the sound of if, many of you are in similar need. So, "Get well! You, me, and all our loved ones" DP048-2013. Posted February 17, 2013
    • Adolescent(?) Anthureum Most anthureum spathes that I've seen are either bright white or some shade of deep fuchsia or red. The inbetween-ness of this one appealed to me. . The Conservatory at Hidden Lake Gardens, Lenawee County, Michigan January 18, 2013
    • Anthureum Multiple filters applied. I wanted to achieve a better tonal balance between the vivid blossom and the dark leaves. (If I recall, I used posterize, colored pencil, and maybe one other; I was just goofing around. Whatever I did, I reduced the opacity of those layers quite a bit) .

    • Stalk detail of unidentified aloe . The Conservatory at Hidden Lake Gardens, Lenawee County, Michigan January 18, 2013
    • Koi at the Conservatory. I've given up trying to get sharp, focused pictures of these colorful fish. Mostly what I aim for is a mass of color with a sense of movement. Usually I end up playing around with various filters. In this case it was a 5-level Posterize layer at about 50% opacity. DP036-2013. Posted February 5; processed Februaary 4.

    • Indian 'blanket' stitched with an agave thorn needle. DP030-2013; Posted January 30; created January 29. One of my goals for the year, in terms of photography, is to improve my skills in processing photos. Yesterday morning I decided to experiment with my extremely rudimentary skills at compositing. I started with an image of a single thorn on the edge of an agave leaf, cropped to a 2:1 aspect ratio, and its partner, a 180 degree rotation of the original. I constructed a mosaic of repeats of these two images in a fairly regular pattern, then merged all those layers and cropped the result into a square. Links for the repeat unit, and the basic cropped mosaic are given below. Next I began experimenting with applying various filters and special effects to the mosaic. I've uploaded those results into the same gallery as the starting mosaic, if you're curious. The one I chose to post as today's DP was done by applying the triangle wave effect. Then I did a BW conversion, and tinted it. At that point it reminded me of some Native American weavings I've seen, hence the title. Finally I cropped it to a 3:4 aspect ratio, reduced the image size, and framed it. I realized early on that I had chosen poorly in my design concept for the mosaic. But it was my first effort, and I had fun doing it. Links to the original image of the agave thorn: http://smu.gs/XenI8h And to the cropped mosaic I constructed from it: http://smu.gs/XeohPE
    • Marshall Beach Twig I know, another sunset shot, sorry!!! I almost didn't go out last night. I got home from work and all I wanted to do is sit on the couch and relax, but I knew the clouds had some serious potential. And since I moved into my new place, which is a few hundred yards from this location, I haven't been to Marshall Beach since my first visit last year. It is one of my favorite locations, and it didn't let me me down at all last night. The sunset blew up and lastest for a while too, giving photographers plenty of time to get all the angles!

    • Rodeo Beach Long Exposure Tonight I met up with my buddy +Jameson Savage, to shoot at Rodeo Beach. I haven't been here since last January and my photography has come a long way since then. We were hoping for more of a sunset as the clouds early were screaming awesomeness but not too much color. The clouds made for some great Long Exposure shooting though. Here is one of many shots from tonight. Canon 17-40mm f/4 L ISO 400 f/9 181 Seconds
    • Impression of the Sonoran desert - filtered treatment in portrait format. Taken from the roadside, possibly even from the moving car. The original was a flat, poorly focused image. The angle of the light relative to our position, for one thing, and the time of day, for another, weren't conducive to a great shot. But I liked the two large saguaros when I saw them, and I still like the overall composition of the shot. So I fell back on pp'ing with some filters to make the image pop a little more and to make it obvious that I was going for an impression of the scene rather than a strict rendering of it. . Saguaro National Park, East. Tucson, Arizona December 20, 2012 (mid- to late morning) (For anyone interested, I used about equal amounts of the Photoshop Fresco and Sumi-e filters.)

      I used to sing this song when I was a kid. It was mom's favorite but I sang " there's an old piano and a singing idol behind the green door". I had rock and roll songs with my own words too. The shadows are outstandin!
