As I walked through the hollow hall ways of the past,
Echoes of laugher gave way to shrill cries of pain and angst.
History has left its foul odor behind;
A truth is to be told here.
Look.....
......................seek...........
.......................................... discover.
3 Exposure HDR.
Stepping away from HDR for a while, I took these shots while exploring.
WOW!!! This made it to explore #460! Thanks everyone!
China had many narrow gauge railways build long after WW2. Many for mining purposes and many like this by the ministry of forrestry. Zhanhe is on the main line north of Beian. It was still in 2001 a busy system with several 0-8-0s C2 type active and some diesel operation. The line was over 137 km long with a 37 km side line. Now reported closed and track lifting in progress by late 2002. I visited the line in a small group with Bernd Seiler. Temparatures were at night somewhat under -50 Celsius bud a mild -25 to -30 Celsius in mid winter sunshine. I had a film broken because I transported it to quickly.

Macro of a spider using my Kit Lens and a little sneaky secret!!! =o)
I don't know what kind of spider this is, but it is definitely one of the biggest spiders I've seen in this part of america. If you figure those flowers are well over an inch in diameter, this spider is pretty large.
A pretty cool image if I do say so myself. I like this one too.... more or less just because of the blue and green light in the water. This place was badly flooded!

Alias: Frost Queen
Gender: Female
Allegiance: Villain
Backstory: Born with a terminal illness, she went through many hardships in her childhood. The other children in school were quite cruel to her, as they were probably insecure themselves. This led to her essentially shutting down. All sense of empathy, along with what's right, and wrong, was gone. She went through each day, just trying to make it one more day. New experimental treatments for her conditions were being tested, and she agreed, hoping it would alleviate the pain. Sure enough, it did. The length of time this "cure" would last would get shorter, and shorter, with each time the procedure is done. The time would come when it was essentially useless, and the fury that would build up inside her was uncontrollable. She ended up creating an icicle, which would impale the doctor that tried to reassure her. The turn to crime was not very surprising, with her new found abilities there to assist her. Currently, she's living on the outskirts of Cardinal City, in a castle made from ice. It's guarded by three frost giants, which will kill anyone who dares trespass. Will she find a cure, or will she die? Time will only tell.
Status: Still looking for a cure. May go to Doctor Frostbyte for help? Hmm.
From the underground steel cage fight matches at Silent Sam's, Ripjaws prepares for combat!
Ripjaws shares a number of traits with Earth's aquatic life, such as an alligator, an eel, a leech, an anglerfish, and a shark. He can change between a fishtail with triangular lines or legs at will and has a phosphorescent light on his head.
In the Original Series, Ripjaws' body was mostly grey and he had four-fingered hands. He wore the original Omnitrix symbol on a black patch over his left pectoral.
In Back with a Vengeance, Ripjaws wore a yellow raincoat.
In Ultimate Alien, Ripjaws had a catfish-like face, green eyes with black pupils, chest plates similar to Humungosaur, three-fingered hands, a green lure, and green lips. His tail was colored grey like his skin and his fins were a darker shade of green than in the Original Series. He wore the Ultimatrix symbol on his chest.
In the Ultimate Alien intro, Ripjaws looked almost the same as in the series proper except his tail was black, reflecting his appearance in the Original Series. His lips were also colored black and his lure was white.
In Heroes United, Ripjaws looked mostly the same as in Ultimate Alien except one of his eyes was pink due to a coloring error.
In Omniverse, 16-year-old Ripjaws mostly resembles his original appearance, except that his eyes are green. He now has arm and neck braces. His antenna light is green. He has a big fin on his back. The fins on his arms are longer and he is now hunched back. His claws are black, and his tail is bigger and drags behind him. He now has a belt in place of the strap that holds the Omnitrix symbol on it.
11-year-old Ripjaws appears almost exactly the same as he did in the Original Series, except his eyes and the Omnitrix symbol on his left upper torso are recolored green.
Kevin's Ripjaws looked the exact same as Ben's did in the Original Series, but without an Omnitrix symbol. His black patch was also on his right upper torso.
Powers and Abilities
Ripjaws' large jaws and sharp teeth are his most deadly weapon, being able to shred even metal from submarines. He also possesses sharp claws that can damage metal and mountains.
Ripjaws can unhinge his jaws, allowing him to fit a mass supply of objects in his mouth.
Ripjaws displays the distinctive feature of turning his legs into a fish's tail and vice-versa, giving him a merman-like appearance. While outside the water environment, he displays a loincloth with a similar pattern to his tail (implying the loincloth wraps around his legs, fusing with it and becoming the tail).
Ripjaws can breathe underwater and swim at high speeds with amazing agility. He has great endurance and can withstand strong water pressure, meaning he possesses the nature of abyssal aquatic life, hence his blank eyes and the phosphorescent lure on his forehead.
Using his ability to swim at high speeds, Ripjaws can swim fast enough to create a vortex underwater.
Ripjaws has enhanced strength, being able to easily punch a hole in a dock,[7][10] tear a door of the Perplexahedron open,[11] slam a power armor scuba suit into the ground hard enough to rock a nearby shipwreck, lasso an anchor,[8] and hold his own against Vulkanus while underwater.
Ripjaws is rather durable, as shown when he was able to withstand being thrown against Sheelane's ship.
Ripjaws can leap much farther than a regular human.
Much like an ordinary anglerfish, Ripjaws' lure can serve as a light in dark areas. His eyes also glow.
Weaknesses
Ripjaws' greatest weakness is that he cannot stay on land for too long. If Ripjaws wants to stay on land, he would require water or cool temperatures to keep him from dehydrating. If he doesn't have water while on land, he could die. Exposure to extreme heat will cause Ripjaws to dehydrate quickly.
Ripjaws can be immobilized by ice, such as the ice breath of an Evolved Necrofriggian, as demonstrated with several Piscciss Volann guards.
Ripjaws is vulnerable to electricity.

These are the members of Mayhem thus far. From Left to Right we have Buzzkill, Apothecary, Crepuscule, Dr. Frostbyte, and Thrill Kill. Thrill Kill and Buzzkill are the ones that do most of the grunt work. Apothecary oversees the medicinal/potion side of things. Dr. Frostbyte is in charge of the science sector of Mayhem. Crepuscule deals in the Thrill trade. Not much is known about the leader of Mayhem, or the true goals of the organization. Some say they want utter control over Cardinal City, and others say they are special supremacists.
Alias: Buzzkill
Real Name: Buzz Saunders
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Allegiance: Villain
Powers: Has shuriken stored in most of his suit. He is able to use them at any time, which can spin around him, creating a whirlwind. He can also use them as projectiles.
Alias: Apothecary
Real Name: Wilhelm Mercurius
Gender: Male
Allegiance: Villain
Backstory: A man with his own Apothecary business in the streets of the Drag, he created potions that would cure many different ailments that his patients had. He was dedicated to his craft, and would spend very little time outdoors, and the time he did spend would be to get supplies. As time went on, less development came to the Drag, and money was spent in the higher end districts. Eventually, Wilhelm had to close down his Apothecary as the profit wasn't good enough for the owners of the land. He realized that this was an opportunity, to do more, and gain more. This led to him creating potions which would imbue him with certain abilities for short periods of time. When his business was shut down, Wilhelm would become Apothecary, using the potions he makes to imbue himself with power for short periods of time. During this time, he would go on to do various criminal activities. No one really understands the method to his madness, or what exactly his goals are, but whatever they are, it's definitely nothing good.

Noah is mostly hesitant, and has tried to get out of the illegal activities, but Victoria always convinces him to keep going forward with it. She misconstrues it as a way of helping her daughter live the life she wants. Ever since Leilah found out about her nighttime activities, she's been trying to do anything she can to save her relationship with her daughter. But with Leilah living with her boyfriend Don Aldwin, there isn't much Victoria can do as of now. She prays for the day her daughter comes back, but until then, she will amass a great fortune.

Alias: Dr. Frostbyte
Name: Sergei Moroz
Gender: Male
Allegiance: Villain
Backstory: While he was growing up, his parents pushed him into athletics, trying to find where he belonged. He wasn't like the other boys in his class though. While they were outside playing, he was inside, reading. He wanted to learn, and amass as much knowledge as he could. In particular, he found science to be fascinating. In a world full of powered individuals, there could be so much breakthroughs in the realm of science. The possibilities were endless. So he would defy his parents, telling him that science is his dream. They thought it was a pipe dream at best, and that sports was his true calling. Eventually, after graduating high school, they caved in, helping pay for his post grad education. After years of studying different sciences, he would apply for a job at Gateway Labs, specifically in the field of cryogenics. Once hired, he would begin working out possible medical uses, to extend ones lifespan, or to maybe somehow cure disease. During an experiment of his, the cryotanks malfunctioned. Going towards the tank to shut it off, when he slips and falls into one of the tanks. To make matters worse, the lab was sabotaged by a suicide bomber, which resulted in the lab exploding. But by some miracle, he survived. There was a barrier of ice protecting him. He saw the sabotoeur on the floor. What made him do this? He wasn't sure what to do, but his hands felt really cold. He left, and as he walked, he would leave ice footprints. People looked at him strangely as he walked by, some even running away in fear. Upon arriving at his house, he went into the bathroom to check the mirror. No more normal Sergei Moroz. He now had pale blue skin, with frost around his eyes. His life wouldn't ever be the same. He would lose his job, so he wouldn't have a source of income. Still wanting to further himself, he would develop a suit with his remaining funds that he would use to commit crimes. The hood was to mostly hide his face, with the actual armour helping to keep his powers under control. He initially wanted to call himself Frostbyte, but he heard the name was taken in a different city, and he had no time to worry about a copyrights issue. So he began calling himself Doctor Frostbyte. As he was not very experienced in using his powers, he was locked up fairly quickly by the Judgement sector of Archon. After years of imprisonment, he would be sprung from prison along with a couple others in a prison break. The ones who freed him from prison had seen his escapades, along with his work at Gateway, and offered him a job. He would take it, and become part of the Mayhem organization. He would still search of a way to cure himself, as well as find the person responsible for his accident. He would develop a close friendship with Wilhelm Mercurius, the man who's also known as Apothecary. Mayhem promises that they will help him, so long as he keeps helping them.
Alias: Thrill Kill
Name: Drayton Cunningham
Gender: Male
Alignment: Villain
Backstory: Life was fairly ordinary for Drayton growing up. All the way through to the end of middle school, Drayton had everything. Family, friends, hobbies, along with his girlfriend at the time, Audrey Gonzalez. Of course, all good things can't last in Cardinal City.. When they were driving to the airport to go on their summer vacation, a semi truck came barreling through the intersection at very high speeds, collided into their car. Drayton's girlfriend Audrey was killed, and his mother lost all feeling in her legs. This was the first step in pushing Drayton over the edge. Next was the home invasion which happened a few years later. When his parents wouldn't cooperate with the demands of the robbers, they shot and killed Drayton's mother. First his girlfriend, now his mother. It was all coincidence, until Drayton learned that it wasn't. Through overhearing a conversation between his father and someone on the phone, he learned his father had planned it all, to gain the insurance money so he could run away from Cardinal City, with the stranger on the phone. Turns out, it was the twin sister of Drayton's mother. Enraged, Drayton would plan out months of revenge, training his body to be in top physical condition. The culmination of his plan resulted in him murdering his father in cold blood. He didn't have the power to save his girlfriend or mother, but he had the power to get revenge on his father. Mentally, he snapped. On the run, with nowhere to go, he would turn to Thrill. He would steal shipments of Thrill, even running into Crepuscule a few times. Barely making it out alive, he risked his life even more by taking more Thrill than one human should take. His powers would be activated by the mixture of his DNA and Thrill. He learned that he could phase through walls. Deciding no one should have to go through what he has, he began his killing streak, specifically targeting cheating fathers. This would lead to Crepuscule taking interest in this Thrill Killer, as she would read headlines of his recent kills. She would reach out to him, asking him to join her enterprise. After being on the run so long, scavenging for scraps, he told her he would join on two conditions. One would be supply of Thrill whenever he needed, and the other would be a place to stay, with food and everything. She agreed, and he would join the organization she's part of, called Mayhem, by being a bodyguard of sorts, while also getting rid of threats to the organization. He's encountered the Judgement branch of Archon, which includes fellow Thrill user Edge.

This photo went through alot of treatment, but the light on the wall behind the frame is and was completely natural. It was coming from a window on a far wall, and happened to hit right there. This photo was NOT set up, as I hate doing that. This is exactly how I found it and pretty close to how I wanted everyone else to see it.
Thanks to DJ Frostbyte for letting me post a picture of him. Please comment on it because he is really self conscience and needs your praise.
Ok, so I was ebay hunting again and I think so far that I feel upon another bargain lens that offers OUTSTANDING results. I purchased this Canon EF 35-105 F3.5-4.5 lens off of ebay for less than $50. Now forget what you've heard. This is not the newer one. This is a push/pull zoom lens built in 1987. Metal mount, and quite heavy. Here I took a shot, hand held, natural/ambient light of some leaves on a bush outside. I wanted to test the lens color output, C/A, and Bokeh, amongst sharpness. The left above is at 105mm, F4.5, and ISO 200 and as stated hand held. Quite sharp and colorful if you ask me, and decent bokeh especially behind the point of focus. The picture on the right is at 105mm, F13, ISO 200, once again hand held. This picture is obviously MUCH MUCH sharper, but still maintains a strong bokeh. So far this lens is holding up to my testing. I will keep you posted as I do more testing.
Set the ol' tripod down in the snow to get this shot. My fingers were so cold I could barely use the remote anymore at this point. The snow was much deeper than it appears here too. It was almost up to our knees. Glad I wore boots. Screw me for forgetting gloves.

♪♬♩•*¨*•.¸¸Just done watching "Billboard Music Awards 2015". Taylor Swift is Catastrophe in her new blockbuster ➺ level music video for a remix of "Bad Blood," which made its debut during the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday night Directed by Joseph Kahn (who was also behind Swift's "Black Space"), the Sin City ➳ esque video stars Lily Aldrige (as FrostByte), Zendaya (as Cut ➺ Throat), Paramore's Hayley Williams (as The Crimson Curse), Gigi Hadid (as Slay ➳ Ellie Goulding (as Destructa X), Hailee Steinfeld (as The Trinity), Lena Dunham (as Lucky Fiori), Kendrick Lamar (as Welvin Da Great), Karlie Kloss (as Knockout), Serayah (as Dilemma), Jessica Alba (as Domino), Martha Hunt (as HomeSlice), Ellen Pompeo (as Luna), Mariska Hargitay (as Justice), Cara Delevingne (as Mother Chucker), Cindy Crawford (as Headmistress) and Selena Gomez (as Arsyn). The remix track feature rap verses from Lamar, with the chorus sung by Swift. The action ➺ packed music video shows all of the pop star's celebrity posse donning black leather ensembles and gearing up for a battle against Swift's nemesis, played by Gomez. Imagine Dragons "honored" Ben E. King's memory with a take on "Stand By Me" that illustrated just how vocally and musically soulless a band it is. (Swift seemed to love it, so what do I know?). Wiz Khalifa Wiz Khalifa was approached by a police officer while smoking weed at the Billboard Awards. Wiz Khalifa is known to have a joint in ➺ hand at all times, and the Billboard Awards red carpet is no exception. Apparently, Wiz thought it would be totally cool to light up before the event, but was quickly approached by a police officer who forced the rapper to put the weed away. Wiz Khalifa smoked weed on the Billboard Music Awards red carpet blazing some AK ➳ 47. A police officer told him to keep that shit off his carpet or he’d have to arrest him. It might be legal for medical in Vegas, but the cops don’t have the tolerance they do in LA. Seems Wiz wasn't too bothered by the request, and chances are, he'd already smoked enough to get him through the ceremony, or, more likely, he sneaked out for a couple puffs here and there.¸¸.•*¨*•♩♬♪

Went on a little nature walk with Frostbyte and decided it had been too long since I had tried my hand at an IR shot. The sun was nice and bright, so here's the result.
Note/Request: If you are a fellow IR lover, please comment on how I might hone my technique.
Technique: Nikon D40 tripod mounted, Hoya R72 filter, f/6.3 with 1sec exposure, wireless remote. In Photoshop - channel mixed, adjusted shadow/highlight, desaturated magenta, adjusted curves and color balance.
