PESO - Not a Woodland Path

PESO: Pixel Bent
Discovered Adobe's Pixel Bender today and then spent too much time trying to find the proper installer for my version of Photoshop. Apparently it is included in CS6, but I'm using 5.1 with (the confusing) 5.5 Extension manager. The only part of my version of Pixel Bender worth playing with is the OilPaint effect. Anyway, just playing with it on my first couple of images. This is a previous PESO: Itty Bitty Updraft. You'll want to view it large to see the full effect. If you don't like heavy-handed effects, don't bother looking. :) https://www.flickr.com/photos/pixelsmithy/17177333737/ There is a group for this effect on Flickr. Some of them are quite lovely, in their own right. so this may have potential for some images. -- Life is too short to put up with bad bokeh. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

I am looking for recommendations to ponder. I am in the midst of a long-term planning process. My intent at this point is to go to Alaska for 3± weeks late August 2016. I’ll spend 2 weeks on a cruise ship seeing the scenery of the inner passage, glaciers, doing a few shore excursions. But then I also will have 7-10 days total before and after. Could fly to Brooks and see the bears there. Or elsewhere? I could flightsee Denali. I could do the typical train/bus tour of Denali. Given that my goals are to a) see bears, b) see Denali, c) see other wildlife, and d) learn a bit about the local culture, what say you? Recommendations for how/where I spend my time? Note that I do plan to take as much kit as needed. Tripod for sure, longer lenses for sure. stan If your cruise ports in Anchorage, Whittier or Seward, the Alaska Railroad's Denali Star train goes from Seward to Anchorage to Fairbanks and has a depot in Denali NP near the visitor's center. Looking at the map, the Denali depot is real close to the airport there as well, so you'd have a lot of flexibility using sea, air and rail. -- Science - Questions we may never find answers for.

Nice one, Frank. Best street scene I've encountered for awhile.

Peso- Final SummerBW
Thanks for considerate comments, Don. Also, you remarked about my intention to post a BW. I've done so here and by use of vivid landscapes option and backing off some on the blue channel, felt it maybe worth posting. Grateful for any remarks.

Re: PESO - Thought Balloons
I dunno. I've my doubts about its biological accuracy. It seems to suggest that men can entertain more than one thought at a time, and that they're something other than straightforward black white.

Re: PESO: White Dogwood
Thanks for looking and commenting, John. I see your point. In this kind of shot, usually the focus is on the tiny, spherical flowers in the center. What I actually was focusing on here was the rear bracht of the left blossom, trying to depict the texture and subtle colors. I guess my eyes weren't quite sharp enough to get the focus right.
