Hi guys! Are there ANY body normalmaps that are compatabile with EEO face normals?
I'd release her but I want to keep EEO face normals..and there is neckseam (not much visible with Somber but in some ENS setting this may me a big issue).
Easy to identify this butterfly with that big white question mark on the side of the wing. Found it in my back yard.

I've been working on my MW2 characters for a week now and I'm still not happy with Soap's face. Does it look alright or should I change it??
It's a question of not letting
What we've built up
Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together

After doing some serious research on the id of this bird, I came to no conclusion.
In early spring, at the same area, I saw two of them but never had time to take a shot. Because they flew almost right away, I thought they were Nashville Warblers. To my big surprise this week, I have seen them again. So that told me it was not a Nashville Warbler. It looks like a female Redstart to me but the yellow is very bright and all over the front which is not a female Redstart pattern. Also there is no pattern at all on the wings. I assume this is an adult as I have seen them in the spring. I have several shots but you can see the white and dark coloured pattern under the tail and some white patches on top of the tail..... I checked so many birds and still have no clue what it is. I would really appreciate your comments on that one. What do you think it is?

Not all monsters are bad
But the ones who are good
Never do what they could, never do what they could
All the good monsters rattle their chains
And dance around the open flames
They make a lot of empty noise

PLEASE DO LEAVE NOTES! I LOVE THEM :) (and comments? *hint hint :D*)
Please do ignore the annoying grain, and I will try to do so too.
I think it's slightly better in lightbox. Press L.
I can NOT believe I made it all the way to day 300!!! I didn't even realize it was day 300 until I went to upload my photo :D
I was tagged again by her.
1. I'm really unsure about the tones here... I was just playing around with curves :D
2. I can't wait until January because after that I won't have math for a WHOLE FREAKING YEAR!!!! Wooot!! So excited!!! :D
3. I hate math :( Especially algebra *barf face*
4. I'm excited for school to end forever and to have my own house and job and everything :) I'm excited to grow up...
5. CHRISTMAS IS IN 17 DAYS!!!
6. And my birthday is in 29 days!!
7. I really wanna dye my hair... What color do you think?
8. Right now I'm wearing old pants that I found while packing. They are too small (size 5) and the button broke off so all that's holding them together right now is my belt :D They're currently digging into my legs... But I kinda like them :)
9. It was actually soooo warm outside today!! I wasn't even cold in my T-shirt and skirt!! It was a whole 8 degrees Celsius. Yes. That's warm.
10. I'm really gonna miss this field when we move :( But I think it will challenge me more, because right now I can just go outside and take some hair-flip or jumping pictures in the field when I don't have inspiration, but there I'll actually have to think about what I'm doing...

New Year's Day is always an outdoor day for me. I use to stay up late on NYE but over the years I have begun to favor an early bedtime in order to get a head start on the fresh year - generally heading out somewhere to be in nature. This year saw me hiking Silver Falls State Park. But I have talked about my New Year habits in previous posts over previous years. The thread of today's image is actually involving Harman Phoenix 200 - the film used to make this image.
I will say, I have not completely made up my mind on this film, though my opinion of it has evolved since my first roll with it. It is definitely interesting stuff and I am glad Harman is making it. How long it remains available is still to be seen though. But even if it is phased out, it seems like that will be just to make room for a newly evolved color film.
But it does surprise me sometimes how film photographers don't quite seem to realize how malleable a material film is to work with. I see it sometimes at work. Customers will drop off film and then be amazed to discover how much work we can do to an image at the printing or scanning stage. Some think the image is more or less baked into the film and there is only one possible way that it will come out of a printer. But this also happens online too, especially with the rise of home developing and home scanning. Folks will develop a film like Phoenix then scan it (sometimes poorly) and characterize it by the results they get as if those are the only results possible. One example of this is the fact that Phoenix has a purple base. Most color films have a dusky orange film base. But Phoenix must share technology with XP2, a black and white C-41 film also known for a blue-purple film base. This purplish base makes it trickier to scan since a lot of film scanners are calibrated to see, and negate, the orange film base. And since we are dealing with negatives where everything inverts, that purple base of Phoenix inverts into a yellow-orange color cast in the positive scans. That is to say unless you work to correct/calibrate for it. My initial tests with this film only had modest color corrections and I just kind of let it be yellowish. But then I saw some optical prints we had done in our lab where our printing tech had put in a bit more effort to see if he could correct Phoenix to something a bit more neutral. The results impressed even me and at first I did not even realize the prints I was looking at had come from Harman Phoenix. So having seen this as an example of what the film could do I spent more time scanning my next couple of rolls. Specifically I used the Nikon Coolscan's ROC (restoration of color) feature to automatically correct the color cast. It did an impressive job but also had a tendency to add too much contrast. So lately I have been dialing in the color corrections manually and ending up with results like this image and without the heavy yellow tinge of my earlier images made on Phoenix.
I guess my point is multi-pronged. One - be careful about rushing to conclusions, especially when you have relatively little evidence to work with. Two - don't believe everything you read online because the folks giving you info might be failing at point One. Three - Remember that you are blind to your own blind spots. Meaning you have them, but you cannot see them. And it is easy to forget about something you cannot see. I had begun to characterize my own expectations of this film without realizing it and it took the print work of our lab to make me conscious of the bias I was forming about Phoenix. Four - keep your mind open and be curious, don't stop asking questions and don't stop looking for the answers to them, even if you want to think you already know those answers.
Anyhoo, just some Phoenix-related thoughts that may or may not be applicable in other ways.

I've been wanting to make the joker batman for a while now and I only have one batman cowl left. I was going to use it for another bat figure that I started a while ago, but now I really want to make the joker batman. Should I just do it??
Found this very fresh Question mark in Juniata county 14July2021. I just love all the deep red/brown with the purples!
It was an unusually cooler day with low humidity. I started out my day with a pleasant morning run when I saw these swans grooming near the shore of the Huron River
"How do you know when it's time for you to go
How can you stop when you don't know how to start
How can you go back when you don't know why you're here
How can you see when your eyes begin to fade
How will you hear when you've heard it all before
How do you do all the things you want to do
How much can you take when you've taken all you can
Hoe can you act when you've never seen the script
How can you choose when you don't know which is right
How far can you go if you've been there before
How can you shine if you've never seen the sun
How does a child become a man without a child
How can you heal someone that doesn't want to heal"

Last shot I would get of 513 on its way back to Atlantic before a State Trooper would question me about my interest in 513.
There were many unanswered questions in this house: such as why these shoes were left behind. I confess I put them on the window sill where I could photograph them better.
Question is!
In all truth the question doesn't really matter! the reason is more defining as to why we do what we do.
I've not been asked buy my parents why I do this crossdressing malarkey as of yet but it will come at some point so when it does what do I say?
We all have and most still do ask ourselves why we are like this but we very rarely ask what drives us. what makes us do what we do whatever stage you are on the spectrum.
For me I have from the day I mixed with other children identified more with the girls than I did with the boys, I even ran away from home at the age of eight or nine because my parents decided I should have my shoulder length blond hair cut into a more boyish style. I didn't get far in the running away thing making it as far as the playground lol
Even after a subliminal forced boyhood I still saw myself as a girl. even people who met me for the first time had to ask if I was a boy or a girl right up to the age of 12.. What you see now is just my bloody mindedness me saying "I only have one go at this life and I will be who I want to be regardless"
We are a long time dead and a short time alive.
my true identity and not my physical one drives me to morph into the woman above.
No outside influence made me this way, it wasn't nurture it is plan and simply the way nature meant it to be for me.
do you think that explanation will work?
