"Gaslighting" is a technique used by NARCISSISTS to make their victims doubt their own memories, their perceptions about interactions and events and conversations, etc.
Narcissists can even get their victims to doubt their own sanity. Some people can start doubting themselves, and thus become disempowered through not being able to trust their own memories and perceptions.
On Youtube there is a lot of info about all the tricks and manipulations used by Narcissists. Links below to two of the best channels on the subject, Dr Ramani:

The Treehouse in the woods at For-Mar Nature Preserve and Arboretum in Burton, Michigan, stands 10 feet above the ground and is entered either by stairs or via a long wheelchair-accessible ramp.
This shot is a compilation of five shots taken at slightly different angles, a technique inspired by the style of Catalan artist Pep Ventosa. I photographed it using a similar style in 2020 during summer when the trees were green and leafy, but the look is more austere when the trees are bare and the ground is snow-covered. I've included the earlier summer shot in the first comment box for any who are interested.

I am currently working on some new processing techniques as well as trying to let go of others all the while still learning new things every day that get trialed into work flows and discarded usually without the viewer noticing any course corrections. Despite what is ongoing in the world I am still trying to be a person that will try to make lemonade out of the shitty lemons thrown at us so will use this time to work on being a better me and also I am hoping to emerge from this with some new skills. I hope that everyone has a great New Year and we all have a better year in 2022!
I took this on Oct 23rd, 2021 with my D850 and Tamron 15-30 f2.8 G2 Lens at 26mm, 0.5s, f8 ISO 64 processed in LR, PS +Topaz ,and DXO

Sa technique de pêche repose sur l'affût, perché sur une branche au-dessus de l'eau. Il repère ses proies en agitant la tête de droite à gauche, puis soit pique directement, la tête la première, depuis son perchoir, soit effectue un bref vol stationnaire avant de plonger. Il revient souvent se poser sur son perchoir dont il se servira pour assommer sa proie avant de la lancer en l'air pour la gober tête la première.
Le succès de ses pêches est très sensible aux conditions climatiques, la pluie troublant la surface, ou la turbidité de l'eau rendant le repérage des proies plus difficile.
Le martin-pêcheur régurgite des pelotes de réjection, dont une partie constitue la couche sur laquelle les œufs seront déposés au fond du terrier.

His fishing technique is based on the lookout, perched on a branch above the water. He spots his prey by waving his head from right to left, then either spades directly, head first, from his perch, or performs a brief hovering before diving. He often comes back on his perch which he will use to knock out his prey before throwing it in the air to swallow head first.
The success of its fisheries is very sensitive to the climatic conditions, the rain disturbing the surface, or the turbidity of the water making the identification of the preys more difficult.
The kingfisher regurgitates balls of rejection, part of which is the layer on which the eggs will be deposited at the bottom of the burrow.
I can be in pieces, my whole world falling down around me...
but you won't hear a peep. I'll paint my smile, keep the cheer in my tone. "I'm fine" is my daily affirmation, and one day I'll speak it into existence.

I get to observe a number of birds while they are foraging and either I've been asleep or have never seen a Little Blue Heron employ the old toe tapping technique of the Snowy Egret! This guy was doing just that and the minute the poor hapless fish made a move to escape the toe it ended up in the beak!!! Photo was taken on Horsepen Bayou!!

Today I had a fun photo shooting session at Punggol Beach, Singapore, with my usual buddy Rajesh (rags1969), but also special guest from the US John (johopo) visiting Singapore! We had a great time! Thanks guys!
Other shots of this beach in my Punggol Set.
ND400 + Digital Blending + Photoshop photo filters. More shots using this technique in my Digital Blending Set.
A wattle weaved fence seemingly sitting there for no specific purpose (from what I could see). This wattle technique was apparently commonly used to make fences and hurdles for enclosing ground or handling livestock. The technique goes back all the way to Neolithic times.

Refining my comet shooting technique after the dramas of last time. I used a Nikon D810A with a Sigma Art 135mm lens at f/2, ISO200, 27 x 30 second shots during and beyond astro twilight. The camera was on a ZWO AM5, I used the ZWO ASIAIR Mini to polar align, then get my framing where I was happy with it, and ran the autofocus routine with a ZWO EAF connected to the lens. Once that was done I ran unguided in continuous exposure mode with a wired shutter release that locks on, while I shot landscape astro comet shots with the other camera. For processing I used APP, I didn't do any comet alignment. I removed much of the astro twilight colour from the sky and with more subs the satellites are almost gone. The artifact on the bottom right is from the ground getting in the frame! Final processing in Photoshop.
The feeding technique most commonly employed by Snowy Egrets on the bayou is to wade near the reeds on the bank and stir up the water with their legs and feet, snatching whatever might shake loose. So this bird is thinking outside the box a bit in using the suspended branch as a fishing pole and attacking from above. More unusual, this is a first-year bird, distinguished by the yellow streak on the back of its legs. Where did it learn to feed like that?
I encountered this one at the end of an already productive morning as I got to the eastern edge of Bay Area Park, nearing my takeout point. Watching as it caught fish after fish, I was about a half hour late in deploying my own lunchtime feeding technique.
A photo technique using a ring flash and a very small apperature which makes the background very dark or even black. It adds a lot of drama and beauty to the image.

I continue to have fun temporarily with pieces from the PaB without my stock pieces. Of them little can be done but when there's only a plastic Cup... The desire to build immediately increased. Can the pressure is gone and the duty to do something unimaginable without giving the abyss pieces. Oh well - soon I finish moving and will be content better :-)
After some nights spent to learn and practice new imaging techniques, I propose a version of my first attempt to Andromeda Galaxy, less harsh, more realistic and detailed and (I hope) nicer to see.

Vue sur le Mont Bégo (2872 m alt.) depuis le second des deux lacs jumeaux près de la voie sacrée dans le Val de Fontanalba. Le refuge appartient au Parc National du Mercantour et son usage est réservé au personnel du Parc. Il y a un autre refuge ouvert aux randonneurs. Ce site (connu sous le terme de "voie sacrée") est réputé pour ses gravures rupestres datant de l'âge du bronze et dont la datation exacte est controversée. Beaucoup d'archéologues pensent qu'il s'agit du bronze ancien (2500 à 3000 ans avant J.C.)

For my offering for Super Saturated Sunday today I thought I would take an innocuous, unprepossessing photograph (of which I have a vast collection) and quickly turn it into some lurid faux Modern Art that might vaguely emulate the kind you see for sale in galleries for tens of thousands of pounds.
This is a picture of bubbles in the frozen water in a broken mug in my garden taken at the end of December. (For a more normal version of another image taken at the same time see flic.kr/p/2kpGhPy ).
It was developed and processed in Affinity Photo, but the fancy stuff done using Nik Color Efex. The bulk of the effect was due to solarisation combined with a bi-colour filter to create more of a colour gradient across the image, a technique I have used often for this sort of overcooked colour from nothing approach.
A total stack of eight or nine filters was used (it was playtime after all) with some contribution from things like glows and soft focus, selective contrast and graduated ND filter effects. (If you’d like the preset I made from this do ask :) ).
So that was the first twenty minutes dealt with so what should I do with the rest?
Well, I decided to extend the gallery metaphor and make the work look a bit as if it had been hung on a wall. I combined broad frame with directional drop shadow and embossing and then used the Lighting filter to add three spotlights pointing downward as if had been lit from above. I also used the same filter to add a textured, impasto element to the painting and give it some relief.
So there we are. You know where to send those five-figure cheques, don’t you?
I’ll add a link to the in-camera original so you can see where we came from.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you are wearing your sunglasses. Happy Sliders Sunday!! :)
Elastic Band Trick
Other People have done this before, some may have better techniques than this but this is the one I use. Feel free anyone to use this and I'm always open to questions and suggestions etc. Thanks for reading and enjoy!
Elastic Band Trick
The detailed picture step guide to get positioning of the arms on Lego Figures using one small elastic band.
I used small medical scissors because they were pointed and curved to get into the arm hole and the loop of the band to pull it out the other arm hole. You can use pretty much anything with those qualities. (Curved and pointed)
Northern Harrier | Hunting Technique
Smaller than the more common Red-tailed Hawk generally hunting from the periphery of woodlands, Northern Harriers, aka marsh hawk or ring-tailed hawk, prefer to fly low over open habitats, listening to prey activity below by twisting and turning abruptly over tangles of grasses and shrubs. Here, a male Harrier is seen flying over an open field into 50 km/h sustained wind gusting to nearly 100 km/h and from time to time touching down in search of small rodents, principally mice and voles. In addition to single action shots, some progressive composite images illustrating the Harrier’s sight and/or sound-based hunting strategy are provided throughout this photo album. According to “All About Birds”, Northern Harriers breed throughout Canada but generally do not winter north of the CAN-USA border. Granted, Kingston is on the northern fringe of the Harrier wintering range, however, the current mild winter and lack of snow in Southeastern Ontario may have influenced this bird’s innate desired to migrate south
Thanks to everyone that views and comments on my images - very much appreciated.

Paper Crafting Technique of Lion Heads
Lion head paper crafting has a long history in Hong Kong. The birthday celebrations held for deities in villages are usually accompanied by dancing lions or other auspicious animals. They worshipped at shrines and temples to report to the deities, and hence lion head paper crafting emerged. The lion head costume comes in Foshan 佛山裝, Heshan 鶴山裝 and “Fo-He” 佛鶴裝 styles. Some craftmen depict the lion heads in different colours to resemble historical figures from the Three Kingdoms such as Liu Bei 劉備 (yellow face with multicoloured patterns and a white beard), Guan Yu 關羽 (red face with a black beard), Zhang Fei 張飛 (black-and-white face, green nose with a black beard), Zhao Yun 起趙雲 (green face with a black beard), Huang Zhong 黃忠 (with yellow as the main tone). Lion head paper crafting comprises four processes, namely crafting the frame, mounting the paper, colouring and decorating 紮作，撲紙，寫色，裝上裝飾配件。

Paper Crafting Technique of Lanterns for Newborn Sons
Many traditional villages in the New Territories hold a Lantern Lighting Ceremony 點燈習俗. The Cantonese words “Dang” 燈 and “Ding” 丁 are homophones. Lanterns for newborn sons are hung in ancestral halls or worship venues during a period from the first to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month every year to inform the ancestors of the new births. At the same time, they convey the meaning of continuing to “give birth to a baby boy” next year. In some walled villages, a note with the name of the baby boy and auspicious objects are attached under the lantern. The Lantern Lighting Ceremony includes lantern lighting, lantern celebrations, lantern dousing and lantern burning. The lantern displayed in the exhibition is in the shape of an octagonal base and is made of bamboo strips, tissue paper, coloured paper, paper decorations featuring auspicious motifs.
My entry for the microscale category in Brickscalibur 😀. Had quite a bit of fun with this one, not at all frustrating to place all those tiny trees…or the waterfall…😂. Hope you like it!
Leaf, snow rocks. Created 4 layers, each layer was a different color. Flipped the 4 layers around so each layer was in a different position. Combined the four together and this is the result. Very easy to do. Try it on shots that don't turn out 100%. You'll be pleased with the results.
A 4:00am Milky Way core rises over Zion National Park. That's The Watchman on the right and Bridge Mountain on the left—both lit with light pollution from the sleepy little town of Springdale (population 529), less than a mile right of the camera's view.
I took this 6-image panorama one week ago, just before Zion was closed for COVID-19 safety reasons. There was virtually no one in the park this night. The campground (just below the core) only had a couple of campers in it, so there was very little light pollution, except for the "night light" coming from Springdale.
TECHNIQUE & EXIF: Panorama stitch of 6 single exposures • Canon 6D astro-modified + 24mm f/1.4 • 6 X f/2.8, 15 sec, ISO 6400 • stitched with Photoshop.

The distinctive hunting technique of pied kingfishers has earned the species a few records. Not only are they the largest hovering bird, but they are also the only kingfishers with the ability to perform a figure of eight wing stroke.
They hunt by hovering 50-65 feet above the water and then diving headfirst (or rather, bill-first) into the water. Pied kingfishers demonstrate spectacular speed and agility on the hunt.
The kingfisher bird’s black and white colors and hovering ability are their most distinctive qualities. You’ll often spot the pied kingfisher live in action, hovering over bodies of water.
Vary difficult to get an image as they fly past you so fast and I was standing in a boat. Amazing birds
