NEW Alien Mantis with HUD to change colors only in FATPACK, can wear and change by parts, available from 10 of February at TOKYO ZERO
Working in my garden, I became aware of slight movement to my right.....and a sense of 'being watched'.
Sure enough, perched there in the golden foliage of my Swane's cypress was a lovely praying mantis making its rounds, on the look out for its next meal. However, it had been distracted by my activity and we hung out together for a short while.
What is of interest to me here is that this is the first time I have photographed a praying mantis and not seen the pseudo-pupil black dot on each eye. To me this gives the impression of being even more alien-like.

Captured this with three RAW shots at -2..0..+2 EV. Digital blending in Photoshop CS6. I increased the overall saturation with Hue/Saturation in Photoshop. Curve adjustment to increase the overall contrast. 1 layer mask in soft light mode at 50% gray, using brush tool to lighten and darken some areas of the image, to bring out details. Topaz DeNoise to reduce noise. Topaz Clarity for additional boost in color and contrast.

Todays (12th Aug 2007) walk through the Botanic Garden in Linz (Upper Austria) gave me the opportunity to move to something completely different after all those stage shootings I did recently.
Usually I do not flash animals but I accepted this for the fly on the blossom here. It did not care ...

During a wander around the marshes, reeds and tributaries of the river Alde at Shingle Street, I noticed this unusual looking view and had to capture it. Six shot panorama using a Nikon D750 and a 24-120mm with a soft GND8 with a red filter on the black and white.
This short-eared Owl takes the saying, “sticking your neck out” quite literally. 😅

Or maybe it’s a big fan of the alien movies.

The lighting was pretty rough as the owl was mostly backlit with harsh sun, so I put my ISO as low as it could go, so I had more range to push later on.

My picture above is showing that an alien bird is picking up a leaf.
Development of some aliens from an animal stage to a developed stage ( at tree of life) might take very long time or the expected development might not happen at all if some components don't come together.
The environment, the world they are in, might not be very rich for the development of the aliens, and/or biological development might head in a very different direction. Their "tree of life" might not have proper branches for a progressive development. The tree would be weak, like a tree in a desert.
For a chemical reaction, we have to have specific atoms. We need substances to create other substances. For reactions to happen, we have to have some conditions present at the place where the reaction should happen.
Already developed aliens would be the lucky ones, passing all hurdles. When we consider the existence of billions of stars, planets and a lot of different places within planets in our universe, the probability would be very hight to be lucky for some aliens.
Another issue is that we might not see any alien at all because of the distance between stars and galaxies. Non of us ( we and aliens ) might reach the very high development to create very high technology to fly that far ( the distance between galaxies getting more in each day, expanding universe ) before our universe collapse, before the black holes pull the galaxies, before the stars of the planets explode, before the artificial intelligence takes over ( AI doesn’t need to be conscious and alive, and doesn’t need to have feelings and emotions. it can survive on its own if it is programmed properly ), etc.
Al might be the biggest threat to humans and aliens, it could wipe out them very easily. The creation of very destructive Al is possible when we consider how much hatred there are in our world between nations, races and between the people with different religions.

Colonel Cameron (James Cameron tribute figure), & Private Frost NECA figures. Added some grain as the actual film is known for its grain.
Also the Hadley's Hope sign behind Frost.
Also trying to help the other guy find his contact.
And wanting to be drawn like one of those French aliens.

During my September visit to the Trona Pinnacles, the setting quarter moon was preventing us from getting a clean shot of the Milky Way core. When the sky finally was fully dark, we soon decided to change our position and try to capture the Winter Milky Way over one of our favorite rock formations.
Some photographers call this section the 'bad' side of the Milky Way. In my opinion, they could not be more wrong. While it is a lot darker and therefore harder to capture than the region around the galactic core, the countless red nebulas and open star clusters make it one of the most colorful and interesting parts of the northern hemisphere sky.
Some of the better known deep sky objects visible are (top down):
- Double Cluster
- Heart and Soul Nebula
- California Nebula
- Pleiades
- Hyades
- Flaming Star Nebula
- Meissa Region
- Barnards Loop
- Orion Nebula

an experimental 3D design and render I did back in 2002, found the .c4d file yesterday and re-rendered it. rendered with Maxon Cinema4D R14s internal renderer, with a low resolution HDR as an environment map along with a volumetric spot light for the rays. Nothing very fancy, it was fun when I did it.
Enjoy it in Large, clicking the letter L.

As I watched the Sage Grouse perform their mating dance I wondered if they were the model for some of the aliens in movies.
"On top of the world" makes me think celestial. I always loved space. Loved visits to the Griffith Park Observatory as a child. So I am reminded of the recent UFO sighting in Texas that has zero explanation. Some call me crazy here, but I think it's crazy to think we're alone in this vast universe. Sure, the laws of physics apply to us all, Earthling or whatever. So getting here would be rather advanced and fairly mighty--way more mighty than us guys are capable of who thought we were being overtaken by communists when a poor dog got shot to the moon not that long ago.
But if you listen to the news for about five minutes: senseless war, senseless hatred, senseless cruelty, senseless desire for power and money (or hey, just listen to our President for five minutes!) it becomes obvious that, although human kind has made some pretty amazing advances over time and figured out some complicated stuff (hundreds of year ago even) and have created some breathtaking art and committed acts of beauty and humility and selflessness, we're just not there. We just don't have the stuff yet. Hey, women in other countries are still covered head to toe by men who are afraid of their power. Today is MLK day and it reminds me of how racism rears its ugly head so easily. Once again, all because we're afraid of others. Afraid of what we don't know and what power others may have over us.
Yeah sure. Large multi-eyed aliens come here with big lasers or phasers or whatever and take us over in seconds and eat our heads. Sure, could be that scenario. But perhaps not. Perhaps they're just like us, only from a graduating class a few millennia earlier. You know, class of 10,000--except we call that 250 BC. And maybe they figured it out and checking out their galaxial neighbors to see what's up over in our end.
So, outside on this beautiful, sunny and still chilly Seattle day went me and the camera, in search of. I didn't even see a plane today (flight paths), but I did convene with a bunch of chicadees. That tree over my head is full of them, chirping loudly, chatting. Hmmmm. Maybe...maybe. Something to consider.
