I’ll be writing more on my experiences with HDR Efex Pro 2 in future posts but for now, I’m impressed with the intuitive interface and the results. You can find out more by clicking on the ad below.
Tag Archives: Efex I really enjoy looking at this image at 100% because it’s clearly just mushed pixels, almost pointillistic in nature.  Photo of Arch Rock, a natural formation in the Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada. 
wicked it’s really awesome 
Nice picture. In this I can see forms and shapes, like looking into a cloud. Elements like this are inspiring to me, and it is nature afterall. I also like the colour version, but the B/W brings out more definition to me, making easier to create ideas from such as this. Like a wooden burr is to marbel – there is so much to see beyond what you see. Nice work Richard. - Marquess Meubelkunst.nl  The traditional definition of a desert is based on a (lack of) rainfall figure – less than 250 mm (10 in.) rainfall per year. An alternative definition is a place that lacks sufficient vegetation to support human population. the English word desert comes from the Latin ‘desertum’ meaning an abandoned place. 
Currently parts of east anglia qualify as a desert, and summer has just finished here too, over 20 and no rain for weeks. The ditch along Lottage road is as dry as any desert gulch no road flooding this year, waiting for the Dabchick so that we can se when some nonegenarian tells us when, if ever, it last happened.  Instead, slides now are plastic tubes. This has the advantage of preventing your precious little one from falling over the edge on the way down but has the side effect of slowing down the whole experience. On the upside, your hair looks wicked when you emerge – like you’ve been holding onto a Van der Graaf generator!  I arrived before sun up and for quite a while I was alone, the only sound the chirping of birds and the occasional splash in the water. And then this cyclist appeared on the bridge.  I was drawn to this image by the strong colors – the red of the brick, the green of the siding on the building and the yellow of the leaves on the tree.  Walking around to the other side, the stamp reads, ‘FREE’, which is intriguing, because it couldn’t possibly have been free. It must have cost something.  I always find public art fascinating. While walking from the Ritz-Carlton in Cleveland to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, I’d sauntered through Erieview Plaza and behind Cleveland City Hall to emerge into Willard Park. 
Very striking colours! 
[...] yesterday I posted the first view I had of the giant red rubber stampin Willard Park, [...]  The two bridges in this view span the river at Carter Road. The blue bridge is active and carries the road traffic. The rusting bridge in front of it carried one of the railway spurs that used to serve the industrial area known locally as The Flats. 
I know this photo from Mardi Gras (top image). So you been to the Mardi Gras. Missed it this year. I’m from NO, living in UK. Laissez le bon temps roulet.
Yes, my wife is from New Orleans and we try to get there for the weekend if it falls right with our kids’ school holidays. I posted a series of images from Mardi Gras earlier this year which you can view here: http://www.richarddavisphotography.com/category/usa/new-orleans/mardi-gras/ |
