[2021/12/09 09:52] William: stand for me?
[2021/12/09 09:53] Mara Telling: sure ... give me 5 minutes, ok?
it was a 2 hour session... and it was like being inside a real-time piece of art. lights and colors changin' ... glow ... letters appearing ... a metal sphere ... artful "accidents" ... almost philosophical
by slightly moving the mouse ... everything changed .. things and moods appearing/disappearing. magic
for a long time we didn't speak at all. I was just watching and zooming and being in awe.
from time to time he said things like: "see that?"
and: "phototools > choose "Midnight" .... then DoF/Glow tab .. set the strength of glow to zero" ...
and everything changed again.
learning ... changing points of view... evolving ...
these pics are unedited (just cropped). what you see is what I saw... what you see is what I was allowed to experience
it's all from the firestorm viewer and a genius' creative soul
William .... *smile* ... thank you!!
Info: a couple of years ago William published some tutorials on SL photography on Youtube. since the viewer changed you might have to adapt some things .. but to me it's a constant source of knowledge and inspiration. you might wanna check out William's channel

Sadly, there was originally a polished steel sphere within Atom that reflected the entering light, but this was stolen in 2012, leaving just a stump.
Wat Pho, Bangkok, Thailand
"Why I came here, I know not; where I shall go it is useless to inquire - in the midst of myriads of the living and the dead worlds, stars, systems, infinity, why should I be anxious about an atom?"
Lord Byron
"Wat Pho (Thai: วัดโพธิ์ (...) is a Buddhist temple complex in the Phra Nakhon District, Bangkok, Thailand.(...) The temple is first on the list of six temples in Thailand classed as the highest grade of the first-class royal temples. (...) The temple complex houses the largest collection of Buddha images in Thailand, including a 46 m long reclining Buddha. The temple is considered the earliest centre for public education in Thailand, and the marble illustrations and inscriptions placed in the temple for public instructions has been recognised by UNESCO in its Memory of the World Programme. It houses a school of Thai medicine, and is also known as the birthplace of traditional Thai massage which is still taught and practiced at the temple." Wikipedia

My biggest thanks to a very special friend of mine Lou Santani for making this absolutely stunning picture.
Jokusarlon è un posto pazzesco, siamo riusciti a raggiungerlo dopo aver tentato di visitarlo anche il giorno precedente, ma c'era troppa pioggia e nebbia e ci siamo passati accanto senza vederlo :-S.
Quando arrivi la bellezza di questo posto ti mozza il fiato.
È una laguna ghiacciata piena di iceberg anche molto grandi che si staccano man mano dal ghiacciaio vatnakjokull e rimangono lì a galleggiare anche 15 anni, sciogliendosi e righiacciandosi, fondendosi assieme ad altri iceberg, prima di riuscire poi lentamente a raggiungere il mare o a sciogliersi completamente.
Quando spunta un po' di sole tutto diventa davvero magico, i ghiacci riflettono un azzurro intensissimo, nonostante le striature nere date dalla sabbia lavica.
Mi sono innamorata di questo posto, soprattutto di questi due pezzi di ghiaccio che si sono sciolti così, prendendo questa forma... sembravano troppo una mamma con il suo vitellino visti da questa angolazione.
Bello fare il "gioco della forma delle nuvole", non solo con le nuvole :-)
This is actually a plant, I took a macro shot and after viewing it I thought it looked like a collection of either Atoms or a Virus. I like how this gave me a creepy feel, as if to be afraid of it. I'd love to have a go again and get this flower back into scale and try to get more in the frame, as to also try alternative angles that could be quite cool.
This was taken with the kit lens 18-55mm.
Hope everyone's week is going well, I fully appreciate all comments, faves, follows and the such like and so as always, thank you! :)
Last year Stella Atom was added to Bucks in Tulsa. Buck is still on the other side of the property, but now he has his lady friend alongside of him. I didn't have time to capture him on my last trip here in the fall, but I made sure to capture her this time. She is made of fiberglass and as you can see, very colorful. Across the street you can see Meadow Gold Mack. Another new addition to Route 66 in Tulsa.
