Shona was the Photographer for these images and I done the post processing.
We wanted to create portraits with a difference.
Today I am setting up the first fire canon for a flame height test. If
it can't do 20' or better I'll modify the design until I get the
height I want. Here I am in my messy shipping container office taping
the brass pipe threads. Once the fire canons are looking good I'll
switch over the video conferencing part of the project.
Atmospheric effects
The weather is fine but overcast, yet still bright enough to cast shadow.
It is warm, t-shirt weather and I sit in a field, just off the footpath contemplating the morning.
A shrill whistle brings me round to my purpose, to enjoy the sight of the railway. 3802 with its usual 5 MK1s appears from Deeside Halt direction and rounds the curve towards Glyndyfrdwy, we’re against the light but that just adds to the effect of the exhaust, and a haze around the engine and carriages that helps them pop against the lush green foliage in the valley.
All gone in a moment but before long the distinctive two tone horn of the 109 heralds its imminent arrival on stage heading for Llangollen with the 10:30 from Corwen.
The first 5 photos were taken with a long lens on my aging Olympus D-SLR. Atmospheric effects dampens the crisp view you’d have had stood next to me enjoying the sights and sounds first hand. Today’s phone cameras do a great job though, as evidenced by the last photo…
I should add a closing thought… whilst sat waiting for the train and meditating a little the image of a blue Class 25 on a short rake of mineral wagons took a gentle seat in my imagination. I could sense its slow progress along the branch, imagining the sound of the Sulzer being lightly worked by the gradient here and the rattling of the wagons…
Nostalgia and atmospheric conditions, that’s what we’ll put chalk it up to!
Sunday 18th August 2024.
Here are some of the examples of work I have been doing in a Special Effects Make up Course i've been taking in the London Academy of Media Film & TV.
Or even, maybe, Large Lord Fauntleroy. Another "ghost" at Strawberry Hill. The figure is taken from a stained glass window there and placed in the doorway. Opacity reduced to about 70%.
Bartered a set-up job for this pedal today. Custom made by Dave Bow in Columbus. This is his take on the always popular one-knob booster. Sounds cool on it's own, I'll give it a test drive onstage with the band tonight.
I've decided it's time for it to find a new home. I haven't taken any pictures with it in a long time, and I'm trying to clear out the clutter.
This is a rare, and very cool camera that takes pictures on thermal fax paper. They are hard to find, so here's your chance. I hope I won't regret selling it . . .

Tapping Into Popularity
Tricks, Effects and Pieces
The Workshop
Psychological Artistry
You Can't Believe What You See
What Others Say
Hi,
We now have the dates for the Sleight of Mind Set workshops in 2013. The Sleight of Mind Set Workshops are one day workshops all about learning and applying Psychological Artistry and Mind Magic (Mentalism) ideas and techniques to what you do. See www.mindsways.com/SMS for more information.
We can learn valuable lessons from mind magic about how we think, act and behave. We can also use mind magic to illustrate human nature and our psychology. Adding psychological artistry to your delivery adds both the spice of excitement and taps into the enduring popularity of magic and psychology.
Tapping Into Popularity & The Personal Touch
If you look at the most popular "tags" in Amazon, you will see standing out the terms "magic", "mystery" and "paranormal". See www.mindsways.com/SMS for the image. In today's environment, we have to be able to be heard above the noise and stand out if we are attract people. By tapping into psychological artistry and mind magic, you are mining a rich resource that has popular appeal.
Over the past 18 months I have also noticed a trend, as the power of technology expands and we are surrounded by screens of all sorts, we value face to face interactions and the personal touch much more. What we focus on in the workshops, is combining using your head (smart thinking) and the personal touch. It is all about contributing to your reputation and adding value to what you do.
When you engage using mind magic and psychological artistry, you are tapping into;
People's passion, fascination and curiosity
Mystery and true difference
What makes novelty and newness appealing
Their crystallised knowledge and enhancing fluid knowledge
Cognitive fitness ideas by creating a workout for their brain
Tricks, Effects and Pieces
On the Sleight of Mind Set Workshop, we talk about the difference between tricks, effects and pieces. Briefly; a trick is a clever puzzle, it becomes an effect when it is presented and surrounded by story, meaning and/or emotion. It becomes a piece when the effect is woven into the very fabric of your personal brand and delivery. It then has the power to command attention, illustrates and communicates what you are about, allowing you to stand out.
The Sleight of Mind Set Workshop aims to give you a sound knowledge of the ideas, tools and techniques that form psychological artistry, but also quality material that you can add to your delivery (you get the SNT kit and the SMS package, see www.mindsways.com/SMS for more info). The day builds your own critical thinking skills, and provides new perspectives that allow you to step away from your own bias.
Innovation and creativity lies at the heart of Psychological Artistry and Mind Magic, so whether you are already actively engaged in using your creative skills or just looking to stimulate and nurture your creativity, you will find practical tools for releasing the spirit of innovation and creativity on the Sleight of Mind Set workshop.

Psychological Artistry
A couple of interesting examples of how all is not as it appears are the McGurk effect and Prof Richard Wiseman's "The Incredible Colour Changing Card Effect". Please take a look here or visit mindsways.com/SMS. I would love to know what you think. These illustrate both the power and the approach of psychological artistry.
You Can't Believe What You See, But You See What You Believe
It's easy to imagine that these illusions happen only on pieces of paper, on computer screens or during magic tricks. Easy, but wrong. They happen to you every day, in almost every activity you can think of. They're significant in all areas of our lives, affecting;
Our Identity (How you see yourself)
Our Aspirations (What you want to do in life)
Our Drives (Why you get out of bed in the morning)
Our Ambitions (Where you want to go)
Our Personality (Who you are)
And our very essence. Illusion will play a critical role in your life and in everyone else's. They determine how you act, behave and think. To learn more about illusions and how they are linked in your life, please go to mindsways.com/SMS/

Modeled after syfy's Face Off show, Fynn got us to do our own version. The full story is told by Fynn over at www.heartloose.com/blog/2015/5/5/face-off
Zoloft is a medicine commonly used to treat depression, anxiousness and additional emotional conditions. Zoloft, offered by prescribed only, belongs to a course of medications called discerning serotonin reuptake obviations, or SSRI's. These medications handle depression and additional psychiatric conditions by enhancing degrees of serotonin in the mind. In successful cases, Zoloft can improve unsatisfactory state of mind and additional symptoms of depression, such as reduced power and loss of interest rates in on a daily basis events.
i rendered this in maya today. it's quite an accidental thingy.. mental ray + caustics + global illumination rules.
I love shooting light trails, and the surreal effects you can get. This is the "FreakOut" ride at a local carnival.
Testing Pyrosaurus a small stainless steel fire breathing dragon! In this photo the wings have not been added yet.
Everybody else was having fun swirling their cameras around their tree lights so I did it too. We just got our tree up today and it smells heavenly even though it looks a little unconventional. ;D
If you want to see it better, view on black please.
Some simple effects i've done on a photo from the Electronic Dreams event at Faial(Madeira). Jeff Mills was there.. :)
I placed a torch undernesth this fallen leaf to bring out the veins and colour. A wider beamed torch might have been more effective, but I didn't have one with me!
