Flamingos were the first wildlife subjects that I ever photographed. I have learned a lot about photographing birds by spending hours trying to get a decent image of the flamingos at every zoo we have ever visited. While they look pretty easy subjects from far away, they still have micro-movements that are lightning-fast. During my initial tries, I used to rely on slower telephoto lenses, and I used to end up with a lot of blurry images.
This flamingo shot was taken at the LA zoo with Sigma 150-600mm sports lenses. I rented the lens to see if it will work with my workflow and a great time testing the lens at our local zoo. I really liked the image quality of the lens but it was just too heavy and a bit unmanageable for my style of photography. My goal was to get a profile portrait of the bird but I had a tough time nailing a sharp shot. Even in this image, you can still see a bit of motion blur. When I look back, the 1/100 sec shutter speed seems a tad slow. These days the minimum shutter speed for my bird photo starts at 1/500- 1/1000 of a sec. Also practicing on these birds taught me to embrace the auto-iso functionality of modern cameras that help keep a faster shutter speed.
Yeah....I taped postcards to my shower curtain rings....so what.........
Part UNO here.....
Been sending out more postcards, I've had a pretty good workflow. I think this is the first new year's resolution I've ever kept. This is turning into something beautiful. LEMME KNOW IF YOU WANT ONE.....WHOEVER YOU ARE......Awesome, popular Flickr people who are getting them too:
Thanks for participatin' yall......
THEY'RE all gettin one!!!! Who else wants to be popular? C'mon...if nobody pipes up and gives me his/her address, then I'm going to have to hunt you all down and ASK....and then I'll feel like the lonely kid in elementary school who has to ASK his classmates if he can go over to their house to play. That would suck.
.......even overseas....it's only $.90 for Europe...sent ones to Rome and the UK already....no biggy.....just pipe up and ask to start a correspondance......
GIMME ADDRESSES.....whoever you are, I'll send......don't be shy.....
I'm at:

A repost of a cinnamon-phase black bear I saw in Prince Albert National Park this past summer. I have learned some tweaks on my workflow for Photoshop that gives cleaner results. I reworked this shot, and have thus reposted it.
♥ her... processed with Florabella Classic B/W photoshop action (Vintage layer turned on) + 1968 at 20% opacity (both from the Classic Workflow set) :)
Goofing around...a version of this image was posted some time ago, but I'm practicing my new workflow.
Last Summer in the german Rhön. This is one of a few so called witch beech trees that grow at this slope. I arrived just in time for the sun to set behind the tree. Not much time to position the camera but I think I managed quite well. I shot many bracketed exposures here, intending to blend it for more dynamic range but because of the wind I ended up using only one relatively dark exposure shot at ISO 320, where the leaves showed no movement. From LR I developed it with different settings and exported this one photo with different brightness. In PS I blended all together and then had to do a lot of selective noise reduction. Especially the leaves where quite dark. But a combination of NIK Dfine and Photoshops noise reduction brought me to a very clean result.
I hope you feel the warmth :-)
PS: I started giving post processing tutorials through skype. The screen sharing there works quite well, so if anybody has a photo which makes problems or is just interested in some more of my workflow, just contact me through the contact form on my hp -> www.mibreit-photo.com
The Vasco da Gama Bridge (Portuguese: Ponte Vasco da Gama; pronounced [ˈpõt(ɨ) ˈvaʃku dɐ ˈɡɐmɐ]) is a cable-stayed bridge flanked by viaducts and rangeviews that spans the Tagus River in Parque das Nações in Lisbon, the capital of Portugal.
It is the longest bridge in Europe (including viaducts), with a total length of 12.3 kilometres (7.6 mi), including 0.8 kilometres (0.50 mi) for the main bridge and 11.5 kilometres (7.1 mi) in viaducts.[3] The Bridge is served by 4.8 kilometres (3.0 mi) of dedicated access roads.[3] It was built to alleviate the congestion on Lisbon's 25 de Abril Bridge, and eliminate the need for traffic between the country's northern and southern regions to pass through the capital city.[8]
Construction began on February 1995; the bridge was opened to traffic on 29 March 1998, just in time for Expo 98, the World's Fair that celebrated the 500th anniversary of the discovery by Vasco da Gama of the sea route from Europe to India.

I post this image of an Osprey gathering cut hay for a nest and being chased away by a Killdeer as a reminder to myself.
I need to have my gear and my settings ready before I get to a site. This image could have been so much better with a little more speed and concentration on my part. It was neat to see but not the kind of image I would have liked it to be.
Next time.
Edited w/ Florabella Classic Workflow Actions: Classic Color + Cross Process & Soft Warmth... then "Searust" texture from Textures Set III. Loving here at the beach!
Alfred Hitchcock "Mister H." by JuliSonne :-))
I've always had a passion for street art, and at some point I was reluctant to try it myself. There are so many ways to present street art. Stencil, graffiti, blasting, blowing up, gluing with ribbons .... I tried a stencil. A stencil is a template work. Each part is drawn on stencils and everything that is to be made visible will cut out with a skapel or cutter and later sprayed. Depending on how much colours it should be and how many motifs or text should be visible ... there are several templates. There is a lot of work and time in it and I admire the right artists. And I have a penchant too for old Hitchcock movies so I thought ... HE should be him. There is no message in this picture. It was just the pleasure of tasting.
In the following you can see the workflow in a collage.
=====================
Ich hatte schon immer ein Faible für Street Art und irgendwann hatte ich Bock, es auch selbst zu versuchen. Es gibt so viele Möglichkeiten, Street Art zu präsentieren. Schablone, Graffiti, Strahlen, Sprengung, Kleben mit Bändern ... Ich habe ein Stencil versucht. Ein Stencil ist eine Schablonenarbeit. Jeder Teil wird auf Schablonen gezeichnet und alles was sichtbar gemacht werden soll, wird mit einem Skapell oder Cutter ausgeschnitten und später besprüht. Je nachdem wieviel farbig es sein soll und wieviele Motive oder Schrift sichtbar werden sollen...es werden mehrere Schablonen. Es steckt viel Arbeit und Zeit darin und um so mehr bewundere ich die richtigen Künstler. Und ich habe ein Faible für alte Hitchcock Filme also dachte ich mir... ER soll es sein. Es ist keine Message in diesem Bild. Es war einfach die Lust am Probieren.
Im folgenden seht ihr den Workflow in einer Collage.
I am in the process of moving my images to a NAS and making sure everything is well backed up. In doing so, I am coming across a number of images I took several years ago which for one reason or another, I never bothered processing. Because I am also trying out my new workflow that does not use any Adobe products, I am processing some of the images just to get a feel for the tools I’m using. This image of Treaddur Bat in Anglesy was taken with my PENTAX K-r (which I still own now) and a 10 stop ND filter.
This image was developed form PENTAX RAW using DxO Optics Pro Elite, lightly stylised using ON1 Photo RAW and edited to remove unwanted items using Affinity Photo.
I used to travel to Anglesy frequently on business, but I don’t now. I would love to get back up there some time with my PENTAX K-1 and some of the experience I have gained over the six years that have passed since this early effort.

I think I've described my workflow after a day's shoot in the past. Nothing special about it. I come back with 500-1000 shots (more or less). I go through all of them and delete the usually relatively small number that are out of focus, or where I missed what I was shooting at.
I go through a second time and delete some photos in cases where I shot in burst mode and there may be five or six essentially identical images. Over time that would cost a fair amount of storage space. I'll take the time to determine which two, or three are in the best focus, and eliminate the redundant exposures.
In that process I also save to a special file the photos -- generally a small percentage -- which I think are particularly worthwhile and which I would want to use for Flickr. All of this determined on a single pass through.
Generally my instincts are good as far as initially selecting the best shots for future use. A surprising amount of the time, though, a later return to look at the others seems to show me different images, or a different way of seeing some of them. Hence the value of the X-files...er...archives.
This photo was one skipped over five years ago, foir specific reasons...and not just overlooked. The out of focus bloom front left marred the composition. The position of the bee is not classic, and there were plenty of better posed shots.
Looking back now, with the advantage of highsight and always evolving preferences, I see something a bit special in this shot. Simply put, it has an out of the ordinary quality.
Bees on blue flowers are rather unusual. Bees on purple ones are as sympatico as peanut butter and jelly, or ham and eggs. My stream, and my archives, are filled with bees on purple flowers. Not many at all, though on blue ones.
So I re-evaluated this shot...as each of us should do every exposure from time to time. I gave additional value to the color of the flower, decided the bee's position and sharpness were fine, and actually sort of liked the out of focus bud.
All of that just explains this particular photo showing up after five years...as we await the 2016 return of the bees, bugs and butterflies.
This is my first real full sunset to Milkyway Timelapse.. Still have more to learn about manually ramping the exposure and ISO up but have a new plan for next time I go out!
This is the same timelapse as earlier, except it is the full sequence including the dew at the end.
I ran the JPGs through the LRTimelapse de-flicker workflow as suggested by Mikey. Still a little bit of flicker there but it is much better than before !

We who spend time in the depths of Photoshop find tools and tricks we like. We repeat them. We try to learn, but we build on a mode of expression.
Shot from a helicopter landing in Vancouver's Coal Harbor yesterday. Tungsten white balance gives it the bluish hue, though I did dial it back a little in PP.
Had to clean a shitload of reflections from the interior glass of the helicopter bubble.
I always think that it's interesting to see someones workflow for photoediting so I recorded mine to show you :)
This was a more complicated task where I had to use Lightroom and Photoshop.
How do you edit your pictures?
Wie versprochen, heute gibt´s ein Bild vom Schlosspark Pottendorf. Und als Bonus gibt es dazu ein ausführliches "Making of", wo ich meinen Workflow zu diesem Bild erkläre ! Weiterteilen erlaubt!
