This photograph captures a festive street performance featuring two performers dressed in black outfits adorned with reflective or metallic patterns. One performer is holding a flaming torch, indicating a fire performance. The background includes a sign that reads "oh! CHRISTMAS TREE" and "only tainmen," likely referring to "entertainment." There are also blurred figures and a horse-drawn carriage, suggesting a holiday setting. The scene takes place outdoors, likely in the evening or night, given the dim lighting and presence of streetlights.

 

The combination of the performers, the fire element, and the festive decorations creates a dynamic and captivating image that showcases the artistry and excitement of holiday street performances.

A mix and match from file images. One from Bedok reservoir taken recently with Reggie and the other shot from Taiwan. i am sorry if I have offended those who do not believe in digital effects. It's just fun play over here, nothing more. Below are the 2 images used.

Did you know that the beautiful blue colour of our kingfishers is an illusion. The actual pigment in their feathers is a dull brown, however the structure of the feathers causes a scattering of light that amplifies blue light and suppresses red light, the result is the beautiful electric blue colour seen here.

 

Interestingly, the Tyndall effect is also responsible for making the sky blue and blue eye colouration.

A macro photograph of one of the 40 infrared Motion Analysis Raptor 4 Cameras that I use in the Motion Capture Studio.

 

Cameras and Photography are a part of my everyday life, and I use a wide range of interesting and unusual camera equipment at work and for my other interests. This includes everything from capturing the motion of Actors for 3D CGI and Animation, to extreme close-up Photomicrography with a CFI Microscope Objective Lens. and imaging the Universe in very specific (Narrowband) wavelengths of the Electromagnetic Spectrum of Light with a Scientific Camera (with the sensor cooled down to -30℃ / -22°F) on my Telescope.

The juxtaposition of bright green Phytolacca americana berries on shocking pink axils and pedicels provides a stunning visual effect.

“In 1868, rumors spread of a sea monster attacking ships in the Pacific Ocean. Professor Aronnax (Paul Lukas) and his assistant Conseil (Peter Lorre) board a U.S. Navy frigate to investigate the reports. They are joined by cocky master-harpooner Ned Land (Kirk Douglas). During the search, they are thrown overboard during an attack, eventually discovering that the supposed monster is actually a submarine piloted by the brilliant but haunted Captain Nemo (James Mason).” – Google

This is the first film adaptation of H. G. Wells’ 1898 novel. It was produced by George Pal, directed by Byron Haskin and stars Gene Barry and Ann Robinson. The film changes the setting from Victorian-era England to 1953 southern California. Earth is suddenly and unexpectedly invaded by Martians, and American scientist Clayton Forrester (Gene Barry) searches for any weakness that can stop them.

 

“The War of the Worlds” won an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects and went on to influence other science fiction films. In 2011, it was selected for the United States’ National Film Registry, being deemed “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.” [Source: Wikipedia]
