A new one just up on Fine Art America - kind of impressionistic. Shot in Sea Cliff.

Here’s something on a London streetscape you wouldn’t likely see in New York….

I rarely use generative AI in my photo editing, but here’s a fun experiment I just did. This is a colliery in Australia. Coal went up the sloping conveyor and across a horizontal one which dropped it in a long pile.

As you can see in the first version, the huge pile of coal is as black and featureless as coal in shadow can be. I wanted more texture or shading, so I selected it and used the prompt “large pile of coal” in Luminar Neo’s GENswap tool. See what it did: not only coal, but mining machinery!

I wouldn't use it professionally, because it messes up the logic of what the factory was doing. But entertaining.

. To mark it, here’s one my very old ones (1970) that has proved evergreen. Behind a Dublin church, two old dears have a good natter while the Holy Water soaks into the pavement. I love the whole idea of holy water in a 40-gallon drum with a spigot.

Looking for something else I ran across this one I did in Alaska nine years ago, that I think has a certain something. The Ruby Princess, shot from another liner with a tiny Sony compact camera at the (35mm) equivalent of a 400mm telephoto. 1/125 at f/6.3 and ISO 800. The EXIF data even tells me the altitude was 102 feet, which would be the height of my ship’s deck above the water. Part of Kulu Island in the background.
It, and others from Alaska, B.C. and the Yukon are at https://davidhalperin.picfair.com/albums/91840-north-america-alaska-british-columbia-yukon

Today is National Moon Day, did you know? To celebrate it, here’s one I did of a full moon over the slope of a Balinese volcano.
