Since this marvellous new ability to divide portfolios, I’ve decided to try my hand at some print graphics, which is something I did before getting carried away with all this tee nonsense.
Original design
This took me forever to complete. It started out with the spoonbill flying past an island packed full of egrets, herons, and spoonbills all nesting in the background. I used Photoshop several times to get the motion blur on everything but kept a layer without the motion blur. After I got the motion blur effect I wanted I worked on bringing back the spoonbill. The selection process (using masking and selection tools) took a long time. I wanted to make sure I got every detail on the edge. To finish it up I gave the spoonbill a boost in saturation and used an unsharp mask on the spoonbill layer. Of course I still feel like it is unfinished but I always feel that way. / Thanks for everyone’s kind comments of this photo. Kirk

I love the feel of this Frangipani shot. Different, unusual, talking point. What photography, art should be. Paul red bubble Lyman Frank Baum fine art photography / macro photography

For admirers of running: improving your condition, again too late, as scared as possible, fleeing the wrong scene, your luggage is still in the cab etc.
Isn’t it always the case when you desperately need the lavatory? There’s always a huge queue. The worst thing is when you finally get there and there’s no paper left and the only paper you have is what’s in your wallet.
An entry for the Flash Fiction Group’s Back of an Envelope challenge. We needed to write the story as something urgent that had been written on an envelope, in less than 150 words. The only reason I write on paper is if I’m going somewhere and need that message left in the real world…
Large View Recommended. Not my usual fare… I was out hiking along the East Coast Trail near Quidi Vidi Lake when I looked up and saw a LOT of gulls getting out of dodge a hurry, so I spun and quickly snapped a shot. 20 seconds later a coast guard helicopter goes soaring on by… no wonder those gulls were in a rush! Photo taken roughly here. :P Heavily edited, processed, straightened, retouched, manipulated, kicked, and tortured. Also a light Orton effect. I like it anyway. RB’s compression and optimization does NOT reproduce a lot of muted greys well. There are no compression jaggles in the original RAW or JPEG.

Featured in Photography 101 February 3, 2009. / Chosen as “Honorable Mention” in Photography 101’s “Action Photography” Challenge February 3, 2009. / Featured in Movement: Motion Blur November 11, 2008. I took this image by panning the chipmonk with the camera set on “program” ... shutter speed is 1/25, aperture f5.6 and exposure bias .00. Mind you, this all happened so fast I just grabbed the camera and started shooting. I’d probably have monkeyed with the settings a lot more (and totally mess up the shot, lol) if I’d had time to prepare. Image taken October 11, 2008 with the Nikon D40X and the 18-135 lens, the circular polarizer filter was attached. Shot in Claysburg, PA. And yes, that’s a nice, tasty acorn in his mouth!!

Somone left in such a hurry that they even left their shoes behind here. Elsewhere in this asylum there was cloakrooms still with loads of patients coats and scarves in as well.

Random day in Belgrade, people hurrying (who knows where) and just another photo opportunity. A couple of legs in the frame, marble pavement, deliberate overexposure and resulting photo that is somehow dear to me. / As for you “point and shooters” out there, it was taken with a small FujiFilm FinePix F30 Zoom compact camera, so looks like I am one of you, too… :)
