I'm not a fan of the Dragan Effect and I didn't have my previous subject available today for another go at the technique. Only model available and isn't she cute?
...maybe, no one reads this text...
I found this, purely by accident:
github.com/sniklaus/3d-ken-burns
So I spent way too much time geting it to install on my PC and function. It's very limited, but it's still interesting. I don't have any software that does the Ken Burns effect with the 3D effect, so this is really new to me. I ran a bunch of images from photos to AI generated. There's much to be desired, but sometimes it is pretty amazing. I'll post a bunch, then likely no more.
Interesting how Local lake effect snow can be. Sometimes it can affect us some 20 miles inland and sometimes it will only affect a couple miles from the shore. Well today lake effect snow only affected the immediate shore lines of Lake Michigan. As much as 18 inches of snow fell in some locations; while just a few miles inland just a trace of snow.
One of my final projects for my Design course at school.
Zeigarnik Effect is that moment of suspense before something big happens.
From the August 2016 return trip to Siem Reap and the Angkor complex:
I love the Angkor complex, Siem Reap, and the Cambodian people so much that I returned again for about a week to photograph as much of the “non-major” sites as I could. Some of them are slightly far from Angkor Wat (by that, I mean to say more than 10 kilometers away), and usually require a little more money to get to. Also, some of the sites (Beng Mealea, Phnom Kulen) are not included in the Angkor ticket price and have an additional admission fee.
I don’t know if there’s a set number of how many sites belong in the Angkor complex, though I’m sure it would vary. (Do you only count the major sites like Angkor Wat, Bayon, Ta Prohm? Do you add the sites that aren’t included in the standard “Angkor Pass,” but are clearly of the same era? Do you include sites that aren’t even named (as are one of the sites in this series)? All in all, I’ll put a very rough number at…50 sites in the Siem Reap area, and that includes the sites that are about 100 km away. Of those, I would say I’ve been to all but 5-10 now. All are included here with the exception, obviously, of the sites that I didn’t visit. (Off the top of my head, I can say they include Koh Ker & that respective group, which is about 120 km ENE of Siem Reap; Phnom Krom, one of the three “mountains” with temples; Ta Prohm Kel; and Mangalartha.)
In practical terms, I’m afraid that with the volume of shooting (about 1,500 frames in the past 7 days), photos will start to look redundant to those who don’t have the same interest in ancient/historical architecture or Angkor as I do. That being said, there are a few things besides temples here. The Old Market area (now Night Market/Pub Street) is represented – a little – and Phnom Kulen has a pretty nice waterfall which is also in this series. Also, I tried to catch a few people in here, though didn’t get as many as I would’ve liked.
I had my friend Mao (tuktuk driver) take me around for 5 of these 7 days this time around. As I mentioned last time, he may cost a little more than what you can arrange through a hotel/guesthouse, but he’s well worth the money (and, in the grand scheme of things, not too expensive; I paid less than $200 for the five days, two of which were “long” trips). He loves his country and heritage, he knows what he’s showing you, he’s flexible, he gives you enough ice water to keep you hydrated, and he’s just a good guy. (He even bought me a birthday cake for cryin’ out loud…) Anyway, I highly recommend Mao. You can find him here: www.facebook.com/mao.khvan (or on Trip Advisor: www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g297390-d10726821-R... )
Now that shameless plugs and other assorted rhetoric are out of the way, it’s time to get on to the temples, ruins, and other miscellany.
This first set is of Beng Mealea. (I’m including the schoolkids in both the Beng Mealea set and Siem Reap set, though this particular school is very, very close to Beng Mealea.) It’s about 40 km due east of Angkor as the crow flies, but about 60 km by tuktuk. This is one of the few sites where the Angkor Pass does not apply. You get all the way out here and find you have to pay an additional $5 to get in. However, $5 is a pretty small price in the grand scheme of things.
Beng Mealea (which means “lotus pond”) was built in the middle of the 12th century by Suryavarman II. It’s in the same style as Angkor Wat, but the feel is much closer to that of Ta Prohm (which was built about a century later by a different king). It feels like Ta Prohm simply in its current state/setting. Both are in a pretty severe state of ruin in a jungle setting – Beng Mealea even more so than Ta Prohm. It used to be completely consumed by jungle, but now has been restored, albeit slightly. The only other things of note are that this temple is surrounded by a fairly large moat (1.2 km by 800 meters), part of which is dried up now.
The central tower of Beng Mealea is completely in ruins – it’s simply a huge pile of rocks (on which you can scramble/climb, though probably shouldn’t). Around this, there is an elevated walkway that encircles the towers and passes what used to be most of the inner gates, which are still standing in various states of disrepair.
After the central tower, you climb over/through one of the inner gates to a courtyard with libraries. (When they say libraries, it’s not in our current understanding of it; more like…a repository for written histories only, if I’m not mistaken.) In the interior courtyards, you again wander around the inner wall/gates before going through one of the outer gates where you can take any of the four paths leading off in the cardinal directions to wander the grounds.
I haven’t been able to determine what the significance of this temple was, but, it seems that it was a fairly good size. Currently, the aforementioned central tower is essentially a large rubble heap, and there is a wooden walkway that goes around it. The temple walls are, for the most part, still intact.
All in all, it’s a pretty nice site. I’d venture to say that it’s probably more appealing and photogenic before noon when you have more interesting shade/shadows to play with, as a photographer, though it is in the jungle, so any time of day may work fine.
I hope you enjoy this set. I appreciate you taking time to look. If you have any questions, please feel free to send me a message or leave it via comment.
is it the summer showers or pre-monsoon showers? Taken from water dripping out of a drainpipe.
They truly have a ripple effect sending the mercury plummeting and cooling of some fried nerves of road users.
IMD hearsay is that SW monsoon arrives 10 days in advance.
Nessun effetto speciale ma una semplice foto scattata dentro un tubo di plastica per drenaggi appoggiato ad un vetro.
The mural "Butterfly Effect: Dreams Take Flight" painted on the side of the Dixie Printing building at the corner of 15th and Main streets in Joplin, Mo., was dedicated in September. The lead muralist Dave Loewenstein included art work from local children in the work
