the photos presented here were taken on the occasion of two weddings,
observing with an external but participatory eye, the great event that is created outside the churches before and after the religious wedding ceremonies, due to the presence of friends, relatives, parents (and, as a side dish, also curious and tourists, in fact there we find in Taormina) .... all wearing the best smile (now covered by masks), and the best dress, women exhibit original or showy hairstyles, grateful for some jewels, while men show off ties and socks sometimes too short, wearing polished shoes. The two religious ceremonies took place a few days apart from each other, before the decree of the President of the Council of Ministers of 24/10/2020, one in the church of San Giuseppe, the other in the Basilica Minore (ex Duomo), both from Taormina (Sicily).
The photos unfold presenting sometimes a temporal succession of the same marriage, other times from one ceremony to another; I used a photographic technique at the time of shooting, which in addition to capturing the surrounding space, also "inserted" a temporal dimension: in fact, most of the photos are confused-blurry-blurred-imprecise-indecisive ... the Anglo-Saxon term that encompasses with a single word this photographic genre is "blur", these photos were made in the shooting phase, deliberately lengthening the exposure, and not as an effect created subsequently, in retrospect, in the post-production phase.

le foto qui presentate sono state colte in occasione di due matrimoni, osservando con occhio esterno ma partecipe, la grande kermesse che si viene a creare fuori dalle chiese prima e dopo le cerimonie religiose nuziali, per la presenza di amici, parenti, genitori (e, a far da contorno, anche curiosi e turisti, infatti ci troviamo a Taormina)....indossando tutti il migliore sorriso (coperto oramai dalle mascherine), ed il migliore abito, le donne esibiscono acconciature originali o vistose, ingraziosite di qualche gioiello, mentre gli uomini sfoggiano cravatte e calzini a volte troppo corti , calzando scarpe tirate a lucido. Le due cerimonie religiose si sono svolte a pochi giorni di distanza l'una dall'altra, prima del DPCM del 24/10/2020, una nella chiesa di San Giuseppe, l'altra nella Basilica Minore (ex Duomo), entrambe di Taormina (Sicilia); le foto si dipanano presentando a volte una successione temporale dello stesso matrimonio, altre volte da una cerimonia si passa all'altra; ho utilizzato una tecnica fotografica al momento dello scatto, che oltre ad aver catturato lo spazio circostante, ha anche "inserito" una dimensione temporale: infatti, la maggior parte delle foto sono confuse-mosse-sfocate-imprecise-indecise...il termine anglosassone che racchiude con una sola parola questo genere fotografico è "blur", queste foto sono state così realizzate in fase di scatto allungando volutamente i tempi di esposizione, e non come un effetto creato successivamente, a posteriori, in fase di post-produzione.

I always did the lightsaber effect in Photoshop or in After Effects, but the work with the rotoscoping is just takes too much time... not to mention the amount of work with the relfections.
So I decided to do everything in the Blender's compositor. The lightsaber effect itself wasn't really hard to do, but the reflection was a little bit more trickier.
Also, the cape got a new material, and with the clothe simulation finally it is really behave like a real cape.
So its time to move to the next character, which will be the young Obi-Wan Kenobi, from Epsidoe I.
Here are some Apple Facts
1) Daily apple eaters breathe more easily due to stronger lung function.
2) Eating a fresh apple will cleanse your mouth of more than 95 percent of bacteria that cause tooth decay.
3) Apples stored carefully at cool temperatures will be fresh for almost a year.
4) The largest apple picked weighed three pounds.
5) Don't peel your apple. Two-thirds of the fiber and lots of antioxidants are found in the peel Antioxidants help to reduce damage to cells, which can trigger some diseases.

Visited a sunflower festival event today; lovely weather and flowers. Thank you for your appreciation, Gail
School children on a field trip run into one of the stars of a once popular kids TV show, Suite Life on Deck (you have to be a certain age or have kids of a certain age to have any idea...). The star is now a student at NYU. He seemed pretty OK with it. My daughter says she has also seen him around campus, but that she, of course, kept her cool. ;-)
See below for an OMG moment shortly after...

I used my 500mm lens because I like the effect, but you don't need a lens like that... see below.... sorry Nigel I couldn't resist!
Call me slow, but I've only just realised you can comment on a picture without actually opening it......... definitely a backwards step IMO... I had been wondering how faves and comments appeared without any views! Now they've changed the way views are counted as well, apparently guessing that we wanted to see something, though it may have just been one of many pictures on a page in a group etc. Definitely dodgy......And those people doing that won't even see that I've written this, or any other explanation that goes with a picture, so they won't even know that I've explained that this is NOT A WILD SQUIRREL.
Many of my pictures are available to buy as prints, canvasses or acrylics at:

Termoli è un comune italiano di 32.983 abitanti della provincia di Campobasso nel Molise.
Per popolazione è il secondo della provincia e della regione. Si caratterizza per la presenza di un promontorio sul quale sorge l'antico borgo marinaro, delimitato da un muraglione che cade a picco sul mare. La città si estende oggi sulla costa e verso l'interno, ma il suo centro propulsore è il promontorio sul mare Adriatico, sede del caratteristico Borgo Antico, topograficamente diviso dal resto della città dalle mura di contenimento e dal castello. Le attestazioni di vita più antiche risalgono all'età preistorica e romana . Probabilmente, in seguito alle scorribande dei Barbari e ai momenti di crisi socioeconomica del basso impero, gli abitanti dei luoghi si sono rifugiati sul promontorio - zona facilmente difendibile, aperta sul mare, alta, con un unico accesso alla terraferma. La prima attestazione di vita è la costruzione dell'edificio sul quale, in seguito, nel XII o XIII sec. è stata edificata la Cattedrale nella forma che vediamo noi oggi. La prima chiesa risale forse al X secolo d.C. La Cattedrale, oltre a testimoniare la presenza di un vescovo e quindi di una diocesi, è anche il fulcro del Borgo, luogo verso il quale confluiscono strade e vie. La presenza, oltre dell'edificio sacro, anche del Castello, voluto forse da Federico II come torre di vedetta sull'Adriatico (non del tutto diverso nelle funzioni dalle torrette allineate lungo la S.S. 16 a Nord di Termoli) denota un periodo di splendore intorno al XII e XIII secolo d.C. Le invasioni turche con saccheggi e devastazioni, terremoti, passaggi di proprietà tra dinastie e famiglie nobili hanno segnato un momento di calo durato fino al 1770 circa. Da wikipedia
Termoli is an Italian municipality of 32,983 inhabitants in the province of Campobasso in the Molise.
Is the second by population of the province and region. It is characterized by the presence of a headland on which stands the ancient seaside village, bounded by a falling wall overlooking the sea. The city extends today on the coast and inland, but its engine is the center point on the Adriatic Sea, home of the characteristic old town, topographically divided from the rest of the city walls and the Castle. The oldest life claims date back to prehistoric and Roman times. Probably as a result of the incursions of the barbarians and at moments of crisis of low socio-economic empire, the inhabitants of the places you have sought refuge on the headland-easily defendable area, overlooking the sea, high, with a single access to the Mainland. The first proof of life is the building where, later, in the 12th or 13th century. the Cathedral was built in the form we see today. The first church dates back perhaps to the 10th century a.d. The Cathedral, as well as testify the presence of a bishop and a Catholic Diocese, is also at the heart of the village, towards which converge roads and streets. The presence, in addition to the Church, even of the Castle, possibly by Frederick II as a watchtower on the Adriatic (not entirely different functions from the towers lined up along the road S.S. 16 North of Termoli) denotes a period of splendour around the 12th and 13th centuries d.C. Le Turkish invasions with looting and devastation, earthquakes, steps owned between dynasties and noble families have marked a lull lasted until about 1770.From wiipedia
