TEMPLE OF APOLLO IN NAXOS GREECE
-
This image was created at the Apollo Bay Docks early in 2008, went here for a holiday just as I was getting into Photography. I went down to the docks just as a storm was rolling in and it made for some interesting weather conditions! This pic was created from one raw file. I changed the exposures in Lightroom and then merged 3 images using Photomatix, increased the blue and green saturation levels in Lightroom and added a bit of contrast. This is the result! This is my most viewed image on RedBubble Click here for my other images of Victoria

Taken at Apollo Bay early in the morning. I haven’t processed this one very much at all. A bit of noise reduction and some levels. It was the most amazingly vivid sunrise I have seen for some time. View more of my seascapes at: Landscapes and Seascapes

Pastel on Colourfix sanded paper (burgundy) – 50cm x 35cm My first painting completed in 2009! Not sure whether I like it or not yet, and will have to live with it for a few days! I actually started it awhile ago but didn’t get any further than the background colours. Did a bit more to it yesterday and finished it about 10 minutes ago, so it is hot off the easel. Apollo Bay is a beautiful fishing village along the Great Ocean Road in Victoria. We spend a week there each year, and it is nearly time for us to head back there again. The harbour is really beautiful at dusk. I did a couple of colour sketches sitting on the edge of the harbour on this balmy summer evening, just as the lights were starting to come on. I also took some photos for later reference.

With the global economy caught in the gravity of the financial crisis, it’s sad that programs like the Constellation Project will have a long wait before anything truly gets off the ground. / / NASA’s Constellation Project is set up to finish the International Space Station, retire the Shuttle Fleet and build a whole new fleet of space vehicles which will take us back to the Moon, then Mars and then the places beyond. / / But with Congressional limitations and funding cutbacks due to the financial crisis, as well as being stuck with a complicated and restrictive “go as you pay” finance structure it’s unlikely we’ll be seeing any groundbreaking manned space flights in the naughties. / / This image represents a fleeting memory of a childhood dream to see man explore our planets and then the stars beyond and it’s one of the few things as a child I looked up to America for. / / The universe is a big place and we’re yet to make it out of our solar system but without programs like the Constellation Project, man may never ever get to make another giant leap. / / DETAIL / / / /

Original Creation Date: June 14th, 2006 And as he materialized from the shadows of an immortal world, he knew that he would never be discovered. He knew their eyes would never pause. Draped in feathers, masked by guise, a god became a mere cruxshadow. Apollo became The Crane. Godlike Birds: / The Greek/Roman god Apollo was the god of the sun, the god of poets, and the leader of muses. And upon his visits among us he would disguise himself as a bird. / This is an ode to inspriation. This is a dedication to the muses that live within us. / Apollo is a direct representation of creativity, and as artists, Apollo is our god. Charcoal on 90lb. paper, 16” x 20”, freehand. / Model: Danone There’s a piece of my soul in the reflection of his eyes. I swear it. Original Sold: Port Alberni, British Columbia, Canada

Seemed to me that the transition between night time and morning was captured with the stars still visible and the early dawn making an appearance around the corner. Exposure time 37 sec. View more of my seascapes at: Landscapes and Seascapes

Ἀπόλλων: Phoebus, of you even the swan sings with clear voice to the beating of his wings, as he alights upon the bank by the eddying river Peneus; and of you the sweet-tongued minstrel, holding his high-pitched lyre, always sings both first and last. / And so hail to you, lord! I seek your favor with my song. / Homeric Hymn to Apollo 21.1–5 More Olympians / / / /

Pastel on Colourfix paper (burgundy) – 50cm x 35cm Another one straight from my easel to RedBubble. I’m not sure if it is quite finished yet! My husband thinks I should add some people (there are two in the far distance). I thought people would make it too ‘busy’ so I’m thinking about some gulls. This is the way it was while we were there – practically deserted. My son asked me to do a beach scene as a gift for his ‘Best Man’ (who loves the beach and the Great Ocean Road area). The wedding is on the 28th March so I have been stressing about getting it finished in time. I am well ahead! Featured in the SEA group – March 2009

Golden Apollo, that thro’ heaven wide / Scatter’st the rays of light, and truth’s beams, / In lucent words my darkling verses dight, / And wash my earthy mind in thy clear streams, / That wisdom may descend in fairy dreams, / All while the jocund hours in thy train / Scatter their fancies at thy poet’s feet; / And when thou yields to night thy wide domain, / Let rays of truth enlight his sleeping brain. / For brutish Pan in vain might thee assay / With tinkling sounds to dash thy nervous verse, / Sound without sense; yet in his rude affray, / (For ignorance is Folly’s leasing nurse / And love of Folly needs none other’s curse) / Midas the praise hath gain’d of lengthen’d ears, / For which himself might deem him ne’er the worse / To sit in council with his modern peers, / And judge of tinkling rimes and elegances terse. Words by William Blake Painting using wax, inks, pigment and graphite / 100×42cm / Music / La tristesse des anges (The Sadness of the Angels)

Safe habour for yachts and boats at Apollo Bay. Taken at dusk with mauve tones and the Otway Ranges as a backdrop,Great Ocean Road Victoria. / I liked the way the foreground rocks could be used to lead the eye into the picture

This was for a study of fabric and how it relates to figure drawings, the transitions from one plane to the next. My professor basically tied up an Apollo statue. Could have some symbolism if wanted. An art work’s interpretation doesn’t have to stay true with the artist’s. This of course is in charcoal.

Tutorial: Photographing the Milky Way with a standard DSLR camera
by Cain DohertyI have an improved and better formatted version of this tutorial in my wordpress blog....
I have an improved and better formatted version of this tutorial in my wordpress blog. This tutorial will cover the development of my image Milky Way from Apollo Bay using a Canon 350D, a wide angle lens, Adobe Photoshop and an image alignment program called hugin. For this to be repeatable you must be shooting with clear dark skies, free from light pollution. I used settings of Tv: 20 sec, Av: f/4, focal length: 17mm and ISO speed: 1600. A shutter release cable is also a great tool and can keep your camera clicking as it sits on the tripod. The more images taken, the better for the final result, because this will improve the signal to noise ratio that plagues digital sensors during long exposures. A tracking mount is not necessary with a 20 second shutter speed because the rotation of the night sky is undetectable at such a wide angle. Please read the following steps for more information. All images are hyperlinked to larger sizes. 1) Download this zipped folder containing four of my unaligned shots of the Milky Way. 2) Load them into hugin_0.7_beta_4. 3) Manually align images with control points – don’t automatically align. I aligned three images to a common one. Enlarge the screenshot for details. 4) Click Edit – fine tune all points. 5) Click View – preview window. 6) Click Center and Fit buttons to achieve this view. 7) Click Edit – Optimise. 8) Click Stitcher – image format – multiple tiff . Final screen before clicking Stitch Now . 9) If you don’t want to worry about learning how to align the images with hugin, then you can download this zipped folder containing the four prealigned images of the Milky Way. 10) Load each image onto a new layer in photoshop adjusting the blend mode to screen which is good at lightening images without lightening the darkest areas. 11) Add a medium contrast curves layer. 12) Add colour balance layer: shadows (-90,-25,-10), midtones (-15,-5,-20), highlights (0,-5,30). 13) The final result For comparison’s sake, shown below is a typical accompanying jpeg to a raw file I began with for one of the individual images. I used Adobe Camera Raw to extract the jpegs provided in step 1 for processing. In closing, I’d like to point out this is not the only way an image like this can be captured; there is myriads of possibilities. I have developed this simple and inexpensive method by just experimenting with the tools at my disposal. Comments are welcomed. If you haven’t done so already, please check out another tutorial I have written: Layer Masks and Transparency Gradients for The Heart.

II. HERMES STEALS APOLLO’S CATTLE / Though he was laid out in swaddling-clothes with her winnowing-basket for a cradle, he escaped and made his way to Pieria, where he stole some cattle that Apollon was tending. To keep from being discovered by the tracks, he put boots on their feet and led them to Pylos. He hid them in a grotto, except for two which he sacrificed, pinning up their hides on rocks, boiling some of the meat for his meal and burning the rest.’ / From the Homeric Hymns / / Source: theoi.com
