This was a shot I took at the IMATS Convention in Toronto and then decided to have some fun with textures and layers...
Heyy sexy ;D
Jk, Jk.
Though there is something I love about Halloween effects on PicMonkey...lol
Anyway, have you guys thought about what you want to be for Halloween?
Well this year, I'm going as a zombie nurse. I have thing for homemade costumes. They just seem more original :) My mom has agreed to let me have a pair of her old scrubs to tear up and mess with. Then I have a cheap-o makeup kit from the dollar store that has some thing i'm able to use. All I need is some more stage blood and a recipe for artificial wounds- and wah-la, I'm a zombie.
Geez, this seems longg.
So yeah c:
What will you be this Halloween?
I have experimented with this image to see if it succesfull to the Flickr audience.
I've found that I have slowly adapted to apprieciate the art of abstract photography, but I feel I haven't yet quite mastered the art. I would be hugely greatful if you would leave a comment to give your opinion on how the photo turned out. Thanks :)

This experiment demonstrates the shift in color from yellow-green to blue-green in aqueous solutions of pyranine when made acidic.
The fluid from a yellow hi-liter pen was removed and mixed with water (shown in the center test tube). The left test tube contains that solution with 1 drop of muriatic acid added. The test tube on the right contains the solution with 5 drops of a sodium hydroxide solution.
The pH of the left test tube was ~1 and the right test tube ~14. It was hard to measure the pH of the solutions since it dyed the pH indicator paper yellow.
Upon adding the drop of acid to the pyranine solution, it changed from yellow green to clear. This was because the pyranine had been protonated (provided a hydrogen ion) which reduced the absorption of light at 450nm.
Refer to this article: www.ugcfrp.ac.in/images/userfiles/30241-CPL_399_147.pdf
"At a pH less than 7, the absorption spectrum of pyranine
(HPTS) exhibits a peak at 405 nm which is ascribed to
the protonated form (ROH) while at a pH greater than 7 the
absorption spectrum exhibits an additional band at
450 nm arising from the deprotonated form (RO)."

This experiment demonstrates the shift in color from yellow-green to blue-green of minerals containing the uranyl ion in conjunction with carbonates.
On the right ~15mL of calcined garden gypsum (rinsed) was combined with 7.5mL of a boiling solution containing sodium chloride, sodium carbonate and uranyl nitrate in an aluminum form. The mixture released much gas (CO2 ?).
On the left ~15mL of DAP Plaster of Paris (containing CaCO3) was combined with 7.5mL of the cooled previously mentioned solution after it had been treated with HCl to remove the carbonate ions. The still acidic solution reacted with the CaCO3 in the Plaster of Paris mix and was mostly neutralized by the CaCO3 becoming CaCl2 and CO2 gas (and H2O). The mixture was left to set in a plastic form.

Uranyl with carbonate (FL Blue-green >BL/UVabc)

for a laugh you must watch this video sent to me by my dear friend Tao of Jonathan it is simply adorable and a guaranteed smile!
She has not been on Flickr in a while, so some of you may not know my sweet companion of fourteen years, yes this little beauty is fourteen years old..
We have welcomed many years together, and will do so again this New Year's Eve, with maybe a friend or two who may drop by for an egg nog.
Notice her littlefblack heart on her nose. It was not there the first year of her life, and one day it just appeared, honestly.
Have a great day,

My experiments with HDR didn't quite go as well as planned in WDW. A lot of the stuff I got for some reason just didn't work with the HDR processing. But I got a few that I thought came out pretty nice, this being one of them. The China pavilion is a gem to photograph. Thanks for lookin', and have a great day!
Experimenting with creating vintage rail posters that were created over 50 years ago. A shot taken with my compact and processed in Photoshop
Not sure if quite got the style but maybe will progress this if I people take to it.
This is the sort of thing I am trying to replicate: www.travelpostersonline.com/inverness-lmslner--railway-tr...
I know this one doesn't look quite vintage if anyone knows the Forth Rail Bridge as it has these white covers on it, but you get the idea
I just want to process this shot following a vintage nostaligic mood. I've tryed to ricreate something i lived in the seventies when I was a little girl. I have some doubt about the results, but this is my best for now.
A concrete pump operator finished work here at this location and begins folding down to relocate. This construction site is part of highway Interstate 69 In Rosenberg, Texas, near Houston. In support of America’s international trade routs, when finished, the highway will stretch border to border across America and connect Mexico to Canada. The project will take decades to finish.
A bright red dress (and leopard cardigan) was the perfect antidote to a very gloomy day.

I happily carried my purple bag to continue The Red Hat Society Experiments.
I’ll be honest I took this photo as an experiment using what I class as my little camera with different settings for comparison. For this image I used one of those little monkey grip trip pods, very low ISO, small opening aperture and a manual shutter speed and I was pleased with the results, the downside is the destination is unclear as the bright lights over expose compared to the surroundings. This photo demonstrates another use of the Littlemoss turning circle where you have a small window of opportunity to experiment with different camera settings from the comfort of your car. Not the most exciting of backgrounds and if it was something of vital importance the bus would be late and simply turn back without stopping but that’s the joys of bus spotting but on this occasion I managed to get a decent photo of 19450, MX58VAF a standard Enviro 400 sitting in the circle just about showing a 231 blind to Piccadilly, sadly the opportunity for this kind of photo will be almost none existent after next weekends changes.
