  1. Once again, Thanx Mike.

     

    'Karen stood lookout as the other cows hid in the tall grass.'

    Alternate captions:

    'They waited for the guy in the red shirt'.

    'Unfortunately, Ambling Past the Cows didn't have the same tourism draw as Running of the Bulls'

     

    Many more come to mind.

     

    Just a bit of a straighten for the horizon (based on distant roof), selection and duplication of horns and scalp, blur in accordance with perspective, border.

  2. There are no rules as to how you apply your post processing to this image; but, please let us know what you have done so we can all learn.

    If you would like to post a candidate image next week, please ensure it is of sufficiently high resolution for manipulation by the participants (3000px on the long side, 300dpi for example).

     

    Most of all, let's have fun while we are learning or demonstrating how we use our post-processing software, imaginations and interpretations.

     

    The photo posted last week as a challenge was of San Francisco beach here in Uruguay as seen from my balcony. The photo I am offering for this week's challenge is from Englehart, Ontario close to where I used to live but about 9,500km away from Punta Colorada. At time of preparing this post (5AM in Uruguay and 3AM in Englehart), the temperatures of these locations were more than 70˚C apart. It is +32˚C here in Punta Colorada and it is about -39˚C in Englehart (Kirkland Lake Airport). I find it amazing that people thrive in both places.

     

    Please, would someone else like to post a challenge? Please, Please.

  4. Thanks to all who have so far responded. I just thought I'd chime in on a few of the issues repeatedly raised.

     

    "somewhat frustrating to be unable to open the CR2 files taken on my Canon 5Diii that sit in my external hard drives. And not being able load the version of ACR appropriate to my camera. And I have to think whats most likely to get me through the next 10 years without grief."

     

    Have you tried converting those files to .DNG using Adobe's free DNG converter?

    I never noticed the car before you pointed it out! The car looks to me like maybe a 1949 or 1950 Chevy or Chrysler, but without seeing the grill or trunk emblem I can not tell. Here is an (overly) sharpened enlargement from a 245 x 160 pixel segment of the original image taken with a Canon 5D II (original dimensions 5661 x 3744 pixels). I have half a dozen other photos of the old barn with various zooms showing more or fewer clouds (probably similar to what Leslie was doing with cropping, but in-camera), but no others include the old car. Perhaps in spring, after the snow has melted, I can get a better look at the car, if it is still there (I took the photo in 2015).

    Thanx Glenn. The sharpened image reveals that the Studebaker design elements that I thought I saw are not there.

    Sauble Beach (Canada) 10 years ago. I have no Idea who the child is or who she is talking to on her imaginary cell phone. When we were kids at the beach, we played with the sand and water.

  10. Thanx for posting, Glenn.

    In PS, used motion blur and then masked the blur based on luminance, applied excessive sharpening to the message in the centre to try to draw attention to it.

     

    Trying to give the feeing of familiarity mixed with the tension of something unusual, unexpected, etc. as a Star Fleet cadet could experience. Just don't wear a red uniform or you are toast. They are always the first to go in every episode. Oh Oh, I see this jacket is red!!!!!! Look out for whatever is causing the blurriness from the other side of that cliff!

    Wet rose blossoms in our garden this week. Fortunately no spots, ants, miners, hoppers, scabs or blights....yet.

     

    I thought Pnet was gone for good when I saw the message from ICANN the other day. It reminds me of the Monty Python skit..."Bring out your dead"...."I'm not dead yet"

  14. Quick one from me (cropped, levels & curves and colored).\Just from browsing the internet, the motif of cats and mice (or rats) seems to recur in the Catholic Church in the (British) middle-ages but with different interpretations. I've not found a similar photo to this one by anyone else. Just out of curiosity, I'd be interested to learn at which Church you took the photo. FWIW, at the largest local Church near me there's a 'secret' mouse running up a nun's robe in a statue. It's only visible from one specific spot in the Church. I immediately thought of replacing the cat's face with that of Yodo from Star Wars but I don't have the time. I still want to post my response to last week's challenge!

    Mike, from my recollection it was St. Martin's Cathedral in Bratislava. It was 2007 so.....

    I'm still not sure what to make of this.
