There is little doubt that A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) is having a profound (and growing) influence on our lives and our society with great concerns about it’s use and more particularly its abuse! Like any tool or new technology, there are trade offs between positive and negative effects dependent on the motives of those using the technology. It’s always been that way! A can of petrol can power a car and get us from point A to point B, or it […]
Following on from last post, I present the same series of images only this time in monochrome. I have chosen to use a sepia toning at a slightly higher strength to previously, in this case I think it works well. Visible from Space? How many times have we heard that the Great Wall of China is the only man made structure visible from space? This statement has been repeated so many times that many people are unshakeable in believing it. […]
Picking up from my previous blog entry, another evening panorama overlooking Sukhumvit Road, Bangkok. This time I elected a different approach with a more impressionistic, multi-layered presentation. A similar effect to what might be achieved with a traditional in-camera multiple exposure but in this instance done via Photoshop. Sukhumvit Road impressions.

Some of the pyramids are believed to have been built over a period of about 20 years and would have required a workforce of as many as 200,000 people.
An exercise in digital noise suppression using multiple images in Photoshop
A combination of slow shutter speeds and compositing results in an impressionist image where people are but a fleeting presence.
An experiment using Google’s Color Efex Pro to get the most out of a landscape/wildlife image.
To hell with realism. Digital image processing helps create an apocalyptic, Orwellian vision.
