A winter panorama shot of the valley Valldal on the west coast of Norway, taken during the christmas holiday. Stitched together of 15 pictures. Post-processing: / Stitched some pictures together, obviously. Fixed the contrast with curves, added a lighter curve only on the lower part as the valley was pretty dark, and the mountain tops really light. Added two black and white layers set to hard light (140%), mainly on the sky and the mountain tops.

Bonsai (kanji: 盆栽, (literally “bon-planted”, where a ‘bon’ is a tray-like pot typically used in bonsai culture) is the art of aesthetic miniaturization of trees, or of developing woody or semi-woody plants shaped as trees, by growing them in containers. Cultivation includes techniques for shaping, watering, and repotting in various styles of containers. ‘Bonsai’ is a Japanese pronunciation of the earlier Chinese term penzai (盆栽). The word bonsai is used in the West as an umbrella term for all miniature trees in containers or pots.

Male hands holding a small tree. Hands are dirty.
To give you an idea of scale on those roots – this old man of the forest (300+ yrs old) – made an ideal obstacle course for this little girl. This tree has managed to survive the growth of the city and is pretty much close to the center of Bangalore.

Long tailed tit The long-tailed tit is easily recognisable with its distinctive colouring, a tail that is bigger than its body, and undulating flight. Gregarious and noisy residents, long-tailed tits are most usually noticed in small, excitable flocks of about 20 birds. Like most tits, they rove the woods and hedgerows, but are also seen on heaths and commons with suitable bushes. / Where to see them Found across the UK escept for the far north and west of Scotland. They can be seen in woodland, farmland hedgerows, scrubland, parkland and gardens. In winter they form flocks with other tit species. / When to see them All year round / What they eat Insects, occasionally seeds in autumn and winter
Lookin up into the trees
Mom! I have to tell you… I made the strangest dream last night! I was walking the dog in a forest with giant trees surrounded by fireflies. Only our dog was not a dog but a giant frog, and the fireflies were in fact glowing fairies with sexy legs. I wonder what that means ... A young man’s strange dream… I started whith this picture made last fall. I really loved the point of view, but unfortunately it was a bit dark in the forest, I was shooting hand held and it came out blurry. Made three passes with different Redfield fractalius filters This is a photo of my son made last summer. He was 16 at the time. Cloned out the design on the t-shirt, flipped horizontally, and played with the colours, curves and levels, plus a little dodging and burning. I used this photo of a frog that I made last fall to create a strange pet. Beloved pets are usually kept on a leash for their own safety. I used a length of silver chain slipped on a tube of white paper to make the leash. The fairies are composed of butterfly wings and human legs, with a glowing ball of light. The photos used are as shown below The fairies’ wings belong to a photo I made of a monarch which I transformed into the wing below. Using the photo above, I isolated the wings, duplicated, rotated, scaled, distorted, inverted, applied fractalius filter, modified hue, saturation, levels and curves, and applied a slight inner glow. The hue is different for each fairy. I made several shots of my legs, which was an awkward and rather undignified process, yelding acceptable results. This is one of the three shots I used. The others are similar with the legs in a slightly different position. Again, I used one of my favourite texture layer, a puff of clouds made in Photosop with Render Clouds and gradient filter. I used it twice in different orientations for a light halo around the fairies, which also created a slight vignetting effect. Here is one of the textures that I photographed recently, to which I added a vignette. I used it at a very low opacity with a solid golden color adjustment.
