...silver surfing on planetary rings...
#MacroMondays
#Sphere
For lack-of-time reasons, I once again stayed in my comfort zone for our theme "Sphere" and picked beads I knew would look nice in a macro setting. Still, I wanted to make them look a little more interesting than just with a clear reflection (like last time, please see the first comment).
So at some point, I started playing around with my latest improvised reflector find, the lid of a "Vintersaga Ginger Thins" box (I wonder where the tin itself is; certainly not eaten like the delicious cookies).
I held the lid, silver-coloured inside up, behind the small scene (from the right; lights used: flat natural light photo lamp from above, LED flashlight placed at an angle from the left behind the beads; and two warm light LEDs from the left and right, slightly from below). What I got was, at first, a diagonally split background of silver and black, which looked nice. But when I kept moving the lid, I also got this wavy reflection that I thought looked even nicer.
The little scene reminded me of four moons, "meeting" for a special constellation on the rings of their mother star, off on a surfing spree.
I used in-camera focus stacking (15 images max.), but combined the single photos in Helicon Focus (method B, R21, S4).
HMM, Everyone! I will catch up with you later!
Surfers in a Silver sea.
Early evening, the sun breaks through the cloud layer, youths on vacation surf the Silver sea.
Gold Hill Shaftesbury Dorset where they filmed the Hovis Bread advert several years ago no. It is as steep as it looks but very picturesque #Summertime #Dorset #Pictureoftheday. Chosen as Picture of the day by Silversurfers. 17 Aug 2015 #Silversurfers
🎸🎵 If everybody had a shiny surfboard
Made of cosmic chrome,
We’d zip right past the Milky Way
And leave our earthly home!
You’d see 'em ridin' past Galactus,
Soarin' through the night,
A bunch of cosmic surfers
Gleamin' silver-bright! 🎶
🎸🎵 Silver Surfin’!
(Silver Surfin'!)
Cruisin’ through the stars!
Silver Surfin’!
(Silver Surfin'!)
Sayin' hi to Mars!
Yeah, everybody’s shining in the solar flare,
Catchin' cosmic waves without a single care! 🎶
🎸🎵 Well, Norrin Radd from Zenn-La
Taught us how to ride,
He waxed his board with star-dust
And took us on a slide!
Forget the waves at Malibu,
We’re headin' for a quasar,
Ridin' through a supernova
Gleamin' like a star! 🎶
🎸🎵 Silver Surfin’!
(Silver Surfin'!)
Dodgin' asteroid belts!
Silver Surfin’!
(Silver Surfin'!)
Watch the nebula melt!
Yeah, everybody’s shreddin' through the deep dark space,
With the Herald of Galactus at a record pace! 🎶
🎸🎵 The Fantastic Four are wave-watchin' down below,
Seein' Norrin ride the solar wind overflow!
Cowabunga cosmic, hear the space-burst roar,
We ain't ever comin' back to shore! 🎶
🎸🎵 Silver Surfin’!
(Silver Surfin'!)
Cruisin’ through the stars!
Silver Surfin’!
(Silver Surfin'!)
Sayin' hi to Mars!
Yeah, everybody’s shining in the solar flare,
Catchin' cosmic waves without a single care! 🎶
🎸🎵 Silver Surfin'!
Watch out for the black hole!
Silver Surfin'!
Got that Power Cosmic soul!
Yeah, Silver Surfin'! 🎶

A year of the shows and performers of the Bijou Planks Theater.
* An homage to the terribly funny 'Top Secret' satire song, "Skeet Surfin'" which, in turn, was an homage to several combined Beach Boys songs.
Fantastic Four / Iron Man
Silver Surfer
1995, Toy Biz
This was a Walmart exclusive two pack featuring the Silver Surfer and The Mandarin.
The release was part of a special crossover line pairing one Fantastic Four character with one Iron Man character (such as Dr. Doom vs. Iron Man or The Thing vs. War Machine).
The figures came bundled with a bonus Fantastic Four collector pin alongside character-specific accessories and features.
The Surfer came with a ring attachment for the bottom of the surfboard so that you could attach the board and figure to your finger.
The Mandarin came with a removable helmet and a battery-op light feature to make his hands/rings glow.
Norrin has appeared in BP 2018 Day 100!

Breve antología mágica del bardo frances, Baudelaire.
Bon appétit!
“Vengas tu del infierno o del cielo, ¿qué importa,
¡Belleza!, monstruo enorme e ingenuo, mas temido,
si tus ojos, tu risa, tu pie, me abren la puerta
de un infinito que amo y que nunca he conocido?”...
“Y tu cuerpo se estira y se ladea
cual frágil navecilla
Metidos en el jardín de ‘Las flores del mal’
que hunde sus palos bajo la marea
cuando roza la orilla”...
“Tu mano roza en vano mi pecho que se arroba;
lo que ella busca, amiga, es sitio que ha saqueado
la mujer con sus garras y sus dientes de loba.
No hay corazón; las bestias ya lo han devorado”...
“Se juiciosa, oh mi pena, y a la calma ya vuelve.
Pedías el Ocaso; ya desciende, aquí llega;
una atmósfera oscura a la ciudad envuelve,
y a unos trae la paz que a los otros les niega”...
“Pero viajeros solo son aquellos que parten
por partir; corazones como globos, ligeros,
sin que de un fatal sino ellos jamás se aparten,
y siempre: ¡vamos! A ignotos derroteros”...
“¡Madre de los recuerdos, la amante más querida,
Tú, mis placeres todos! ¡Tú, todos mis deberes!
Te acordarás de cada caricia compartida,
del hogar, del hechizo de los atardeceres,
¡madre de los recuerdos, la amante más querida!”...
“Un fulgor… ¡y la noche! Fugitiva beldad,
cuyo mirar me ha hecho nacer una vez más,
¿no te veré ya nunca, sino en la eternidad?”.
Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867)

My friends and I woke up Saturday morning to find the central coast absolutely going off. All day offshores and pumping combo swell. Spitting tubes up and down the beach. I snapped this frame around 3pm, when the backlit conditions made the ocean turn silver.

P.S still away XP but i jst had to upload a pic for my sweetheart :*
I wanted to give the feeling of the lonely Silver Surfer….floating….in the quiet darkness of space, ever observant.
Well, it’s just glitter really but it looks the part. I knew to be careful with that glitter stuff, we all know how it sticks to everything. With some precautions not much got away, which was nice.
The minifig is a custom I bought many, many years ago.
I wanted to give the feeling of the lonely Silver Surfer….floating….in the quiet darkness of space, ever observant.
How could I build the Fantastic Four without also building a few of their pals and enemies?! So here's eight more figures for you all to chew on and enjoy!
Oh, and here's a list of the custom parts I used so I don't have to answer redundant questions in the comments all afternoon: Doom’s Gun (Brickarms/EclipsGrafx), Silver Surfer Fig (by BigKidBrix), and Namor’s lil feet wings (BrickWarriors). Everything else is Official Lego!
Also Super-Skrull was basically the exact same figure that HMD BrickCustoms designed so yeah (I don’t wanna get sued by the Lego Fan Community if I didn’t say that) :P
Also also I built a lot of these figs from memory and apparently Grey Gargoyle has a cape and I completely forgot sooooo.... whoops!
...Too late to fix it now!

I recently (months ago) picked up some more bootleg figs and was surprised to find that this Galactus knock-off wasn’t completely terrible, so naturally I had to make some posts with him and the rest of the gang! ;)
The Chrysler was inspired by a build by Tobias Brzitwa from here on Flickr, and The Baxter was inspired by a micro-scale “digital build” from the 2013 Lego Marvel Video Game!
Check out Patreon this week to see just how I built the skyline, or how I lit the photoshoot, and even how I edited everything together! Link in the bio!

How on earth do you take a picture of a guy who's all chrome? Flash or no flash? I tried both, and this one with the flash looked a little better.
I sure am glad he had his right leg up and his left leg with the knee down. If he had his legs switched, I don't think they would've allowed this in the Children's Museum.
Here's a throwback because I gotta feed the algorithm or whatever
This one was inspired by some of Keith Yip’s work from his Instagram, focusing heavily on stark lighting, strong angles, simplicity in the overall image composition... all accompanied with a strong 16:9 crop. He generally (to my knowledge) uses strictly Apple iPhone cameras for his work, where as you all know, I primarily shoot with Nikon, but hey, the translation of formats was fun to tackle! :P If you know his work I hope you can see his style that I was going for, if not you can find him here: @castleinthepool :)
This post was originally a Patreon Exclusive from late 2019 (sayin' jus sayin')
En la mitología griega, Ícaro (en griego antiguo Ἴκαρος Ikaros) es hijo del arquitecto Dédalo, constructor del laberinto de Creta, y de una esclava llamada Náucrate.
Estaba retenido junto a su padre en la isla de Creta por el rey de la isla, llamado Minos.
Dédalo decidió escapar de la isla, pero dado que Minos controlaba la tierra y el mar, Dédalo se puso a trabajar para fabricar alas para él y su joven hijo Ícaro. Enlazó plumas entre sí uniendo con hilo las plumas centrales y con cera las laterales, y le dio al conjunto la suave curvatura de las alas de un pájaro. Ícaro a veces corría a recoger del suelo las plumas que el viento se había llevado o ablandaba la cera.
Cuando al fin terminó el trabajo, Dédalo batió sus alas y se halló subiendo y suspendido en el aire. Equipó entonces a su hijo de la misma manera, y le enseñó cómo volar. Cuando ambos estuvieron preparados para volar, Dédalo advirtió a Ícaro que no volase demasiado alto porque el calor del sol derretiría la cera, ni demasiado bajo porque la espuma del mar mojaría las alas y no podría volar.
Pasaron las islas de Samos, Delos, Paros, Lebintos y Calimna, y entonces el muchacho comenzó a ascender. El ardiente sol ablandó la cera que mantenía unidas las plumas y éstas se despegaron. Ícaro agitó sus brazos, pero no quedaban suficientes plumas para sostenerlo en el aire y cayó al mar. Su padre lloró y lamentando amargamente sus artes, y, en su memoria, llamó Icaria a la tierra cercana al lugar del mar en el que Ícaro había caído.
Dédalo llegó sano y salvo a Sicilia, donde quedó bajo la protección del rey Cócalo. Allí construyó un templo a Apolo en el que colgó sus alas como ofrenda al dios.
Pausanias cuenta una versión más prosaica en la que ambos huían de Creta en pequeñas barcas, para lo cual Dédalo inventa el principio de la vela, desconocido hasta entonces para los hombres. Ícaro, navegante torpe, naufragó frente a la costa de Samos, en cuyas orillas se encontró su cuerpo. Heracles le dio sepultura en esa tierra, que desde entonces se llama Icaria, y el mar que está junto a ella recibió el nombre de mar Icario.
Here’s a bonus Silver Surfer shot from the Galactus photoshoot, because it was too good not share!

I took this photo while visiting Turkey in 2011. The Manavgat Waterfalls a really beautiful natural place to visit. (Silversurfers picture of the day 31 Jan 2014).

So I recently picked up BigKidBrix Silver Surfer fig and took a little mini photoshoot with him! I even took the time to write up a lengthy review of him and how he stands up to my scrutinizing standards with custom figs, and I gotta say he’s not too shabby! :)
If you want more details than just “He’s not too shabby” or want to know how I edited this photograph, head over to my Patreon page and read all about it! :)
Speaking of Patreon, I wanted to give a quick shout out to my newest Pateon, the one and only Superior_Idiot here on flickr! He's got a neat series of story posts ft. some cool re-imagined Batman and Superman figs that you should go check out! Like seriously that Superman fig with the MM Legs is dope!
Anyway, thanks for your support dude! :)
