Early evening slowly settling over the city. Pic taken from around San Jose, CA during me and my mom's commute home from work. The sky and atmosphere was so clear and clean, thanks to recent rains. (Tuesday around sunset, November 8, 2022)

Bayne's latest project. I had to stop and grab a quick snap of it, but I must've too early to catch the artist at work. Great location for a mural!

The word focussed at the centre of the picture reads e-pish meaning "work". It is a detail of a lexical list containing Sumerian terms in a left column and their Akkadian equivalants on the right. One can compare those lexical lists with modern dictionaries, but the sequence of this specific "dictionary" follows the pronunciation of the Akkadian terms.
... not only the face up but the character as a whole. ;] I started to blush his face and defining the eyebrows this afternoon... I'm a bit lost with this guy, still not sure if he's going to be blond or dark haired... I like this blond wig better cause the black ones that I have are too big for his head... besides, almost all my dolls have dark hair and I'd like to try something different with him... would need blond/brown lashes.
If in the end I decide for a black wig I can darken the eyebrows right? o.o
I hope I will have time to continue with the face up tomorrow and officially introduce him to Flickr friends soon!!! Oh yes, I have a name in mind for him already! ;D
Just a view more weeks and the build of the Kenniscluster in Arnhem is finished. There are some asome stairs in this new building!
Had the chance to take a sneak peak :)
Working on freelance Fashion illustrations for a TV Commercial. I don't have a big desk so I draw on the floor with everything lying around.It's been a while for me to draw girly things but it's fun so far.
shouldn't we stay together
we can work it out

sure i'd love to change it all
Still working on my LEGO Star Wars Minifigs collection. This is the sixth of my displays.
Not very happy with the lighting and the colors. Will try to do better when posting the final picture, with the entire collection.
Did you ever think of just driving your car as far away as you can instead of going to work in the morning? It's a thought that captivates me, and that's how I imagine someone could end up after driving until they no longer have gas in the tank.
I had wanted to try astro-landscape portraits for a while now. For my first try, I asked my old student, coworker and friend to drive out really far to go see the Milky Way.
We ended up at Churn Creek Protected Area, a gorgeous location I encourage people to visit. But beware, the last 80km or so are done on a dirt path snaking between hills and overlooking cliffs.
Once you arrive on location, you end up in an arid area where the Churn Creek canyon intersects with the Fraser canyon. This place is amazing.
For our shoot, I was hoping the night would get pitch black, but we were far enough in the North that it actually didn't and I was able to navigate without using my flashlight despite that night being moonless and the location a 1 or 2 on the Bortle scale of light pollution. Despite the night being surprisingly bright and slightly cloudy at the same time, details were still visible in the Milky Way.
But it means I'll have to return at the end of the summer, when days will become shorter again and nights longer.
This shoot was done with my Sony A7R, my LA-EA3 adapter, my Sigma ART 35mm, Yongnuo Flashes (3) and flash trigger and a Pixel remote camera trigger.
I configured the shot before sunset, placing the car and the camera so that I could take a shot with enough exposure difference to be able to separate the sky and the foreground in a masking shot. I then waited patiently for the night to fall, and when it started getting dark but before the Milky Way really appeared, I arranged the shot with my model. I purposefully had the flashes have a blueish temperature compared to the white balance, and I pointed two of them at the model and the front of the car, while a third gelled flash gave some colors to the inside of the car. Next, I took series of photos of the Milky Way, which was faint but nevertheless detailed because of how bright the night was. And finally, I did a 24:40 exposure to expose the background (the mountains and parts of the canyon).
After all that, I just had to put everything together. The sky is noisier than I would have liked, because I had to separate it from the sun's light pollution.
Anyway. I'm pretty happy with that first try. I know it's a composite shot, and taking it in one shot would have been easier, but I didn't want everything to be grainy because of the high ISO, so I preferred compositing the image to hopefully end up with a higher image quality compared to similar in-camera shots. I could have used a slightly lower ISO by using a wider angle lens, but I really wanted the Milky Way to look big in the sky.
Really didn't fancy going back into work today. By some miracle, which is almost certain not to be repeated for the rest of 2011, the train was on time.
The chap on the right is a fellow commuter who gets the same train as me every day, yet despite seeing each other every morning, it is only recently that protocol has allowed us to graduate to a nod of greeting with a hello on special occasions (eg announcement of a major delay*)
The train coming home was delayed, so back on familiar territory.
