I didn't really like the other portrait so I just dicided to use a photo of Katness from Hunger Games. Btw I love the movies and especially the books!
Here is a three shot panoramic view of the sunset from a week ago. This was at the very peak of the colors in the sky for that sunset. Within ten more minutes all color was gone. This shot also confirms that if I do some LE there in the future, I need to try some at eye level as I like the light that comes through the benches out on the pier. Lower vantage shots that I have taken here keeps the benches right at the horizon and hides a lot of their detail.
While this image is such fun to look at, it is also a reminder to me of the mistake made this day shooting there. You will notice on the pier the camera on the tripod taking the long exposure. I cannot post the image taken at that time (which was during the peak of colors for this sunset) as I got lost in taking these handheld shots and ended up exposing the LE way way too long. I need to have a timer there with me if I am going to get distracted like I was with the colors and reflections going on around me.
You would also think with today's electronics you could get the "Bulb" time specific and then walk away and not have to be there to shut it off.
Oh well - gives me a good excuse to try again. Though not today as there is not a cloud in the sky :(
I was walking down the street and heard organ music in a church which is usually closed...an organ lesson was going on...
Good for photographers too! Machinicon has some good photo op opportunities like the boxing ring with fight animations and the underground bunker that can be a 1950s nuclear bomb shelter or a serial killer's hideout or a place where a detective solves crimes. Very cool.
There are also micro-lessons around the sim for machinima but many of them are good for photography too as both are visual mediums. I show a couple of those as well.
Machinicon runs from September 5-25, 2024

For the following places, go to my Youtube description for the slurls. a friend had her account deleted for too many links and slurls. I don't have a pro account so I'm worried it could happen to me and I have tons of flickr pics I don't want to lose. That's so scary!
my video (You can see many of the places around the island and I do one of the lighting microlessons. Lessons are basic intro to concepts, not detailed, so I tried to do quick demos to bring them to life):

slurls in my video description:
a. underground bunker (walk through the bunker door. Big poseball in hall with lots of animations. Click it to make it invisible. If it is already invisible, use control-alt-T to see transparent objects then click it)
b. romantic dance gazebo
c. boxing ring (next to welcome room, see above slurl)
d. dance in a room demo (follow instructions to rez the room and do the dance -- takes 2 so bring a friend)
My video's actually based on my test livestream but I added a lot so it has more than the livestream. Which is ironic since the livestream was more than an hour and my video is 6 minutes and change. You can see many of the places around the island.
Watch the dance in the room in the box!!! It is so cool.

On December 19th my wife and daughters did some ziplining and rapelling at a place in Cartago Province called Explornatura and me and my son went on a hike at the same place to see what wildlife we could find. Unfortunately it had been raining all morning and although it stopped for a while when we first arrived the rain started up again while we were hiking. Luckily we were prepared with rain gear but not many animals showed themselves. These animals were seen before and after the rain.
My wife and daughters had a great time on the zip lines and saw a sloth and they highly recommend this place:
Look. Seeing is not enough.
For in life – even what looks constant –
Changes.
So watch carefully – do not let the
Shadow fool you. It is a part of
The picture – even if I did not want to.
But the picture is what it is, and this shadow
Becomes a story by itself.
And understanding that even things I do not
Like, that seems to be wrong – are lessons for life
Its where creation begins.

When a Bird is alive... it eats Ants,
When the Bird is Dead... Ants eat the Bird!
Time & Circumstances can change at any time...!
Don't devalue or Hurt anyone in life.
You may be powerful today.. But Remember,
Time is more powerfull than you!!!
one tree makes a million match sticks...
but when time comes..
only one match stick is needed... to burn million of trees!!
So be Good and do Good...
when a true and heartfelt compliment
becomes a platitude-
and when words
become routine,
the silence becomes a lesson
A thought occurred to me yesterday:
If you get to paradise but those who made the most inhospitable of places home are not there with you... are you there yet?

the sun sprinkled in my eye
just as it sparkled on the wheatgrass
blowing in my front yard.
the squirrels argue
maypole-ing around
the ponderosa pine.
I wonder
where does their drama lie?
round and round
trying to catch each other's tails
the sun shimmers on them too
but they are too busy to notice.
Lesson #1: Don't underexpose your film...
Luckily, I still have one more roll of this.
Shot on my Nikkormat using Kroger 200 film.
Okay, I'll admit it. I hit a processing point where every photograph I touched was not turning out. At all. It was very frustrating, so (along with participating in some holiday weekend activities) I took a break from pictures.
Today, I thought I'd give some of the images another go. And I was very excited with how they were turning out!
Hooray for a brief brain break! Hooray for the Farmer's Museum in Cooperstown!
And hooray for Distressed Jewell and SkeletalMess!!!!

We had just finished a wonderful tall mast sunset sailboat cruise this summer in Sister Bay, Wisconsin, and were walking back to the car. I happened to turn around and see this scene unfolding. I grabbed my camera one more time and ran down to the docks to capture this wonderful scene of a Father teaching his kids to fish in the last of the evening light.
