THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT
by swpoetry
You need to stay. And you need to stay loudly. You're afraid of making bad choices but the truth is this:
the tiniest actions will influence the course of the rest of your life and you cannot control it. So many factors play a part in you being here today: a delayed train, an extra cup of tea, the number of seconds your parents took to cross the street. This is chaos theory. Sensitivity. Mathematics. You are here. And every choice you have ever made has led you to right now, reading this. While you exist, every movement and moment matters; those bad choices led you to the best days of your life, if you were to play it all in rewind. Change will come, even if you're standing still. Butterflies will keep flapping their wings and causing hurricanes. So, make your choices and make them loud. Trust your gut. Trust energy. And if you ceased to exist? Oh, the universe would notice. The mess that would make. The hearts that would break. So just stay. Stay for bad choices. Stay for great ones. Stay.
Cause a few hurricanes.
a (color) outtake of a series of black and white self portraits I'm taking for the cooper union hometest, that's entitled "descent into madness"

This is what inspired me to make this creation:

No dawn/dusk magic here, I'm afraid; just some context illustrating Garbh Bheinn's position overlooking Loch Linnhe & the the hamlet of Clovullin (by Corran).
In fact, I risk utterly destroying the mystique of the other two recent Garbh Bheinn uploads by offering this one!
Taken from much lower down Beinn na Gucaig, I was barely 500 feet above the water, here.
Be Not Afraid……at the Mystic Realms Faire!

When I was eight, I was attacked...brutally attacked by a rooster..
I was chasing after a cat in a field..and a rooster filled with demons ran after me...
It seriously scratched my back and i was bleeding
it also scarred my heart.
forever.
Oh yeah, and we ate him the next night :X
One thing in life that I'm not afraid of is color. Maybe I embrace color so much because I'm an artist or maybe because I grew up in Detroit; the home of pink gators.

Johnny's in America
Low techs at the wheel
Nobody needs anyone
They don't even just pretend
Johnny's in America
I'm afraid of Americans
I'm afraid of the world
I'm afraid I can't help it
I'm afraid I can't
God is an American
God is an American
Yeah, I'm afraid of Americans
I'm afraid of the words
I'm afraid I can't help it
I'm afraid I can't
The Hereios at We’re Here! are joining the group ”Tell it with a song and a photo”. Our challenge is to match our photograph with some lyrics that have special meaning to the photographer.
Pray for us.
I'm afraid I am not as committed as many of my Flickr friends at getting up early in the summer months to take sunrise photographs. But sunsets are a different matter. This one was taken at 9.45pm, on my way back to the car after and evening of taking photos in the Wiltshire countryside. Three photos HDR merged in Efex pro.

of people.
what if they identify me as strange, because they can't understand me?
i hide too much.
because when i try to blend, it doesn't work.
i feel most comfortable,
on top of mountains.

"Holly Golightly: You know those days when you get the mean reds?
Paul Varjak: The mean reds. You mean like the blues?
Holly Golightly: No. The blues are because you're getting fat, and maybe it's been raining too long. You're just sad, that's all. The mean reds are horrible. Suddenly you're afraid, and you don't know what you're afraid of. Do you ever get that feeling?"
Marcie was kind enough to show me this amazing abandoned house from the late 1800s. It's truly a beautiful piece of architecture and history.
While I was editing, this conversation from Breakfast At Tiffany's came into my head and it just seem to fit for some reason.
Tip
Don't be afraid to mix light sources.
With a very simple rule you can always control your lighting.
Remember that aperture controls your strobe and shutterspeed the ambient light.
This way you can actually make lights burn brighter without changing anything else in the set.
Another tip is to keep the strobe on the lowest possible setting because it will very quickly over power the often weak constant light sources.
Feel free to show your shots where you combined constant lights with strobes.
