I went to SkinFair, only to hunt down some eyebrows and nothing else.
When I used to have Catwa, I often wore thicker eyebrows. Perhaps...40% of the time, my brows were a little heavier, like this. Occasionally, even heavier than these. They were heavier, but natural looking.
When I switched to EvoX, whenever I tried heavier eyebrows, I always ended up with two buffalos running across my forehead.
All the designer's eyebrows always seem to be designed for heads much bigger than mine. So I more or less gave up on have anything outside of my usual tapered brows.
I kind of like these. I wanted some that were heavier still, without that super-trimmed robotic Kardashian/Ivanka Trump/Department-Store-Mannequin look that have been very popular for the past 10 years or so.
Scenography with a sculpture of a woman on a bed, a window and a drawing of a city skyline. If you look from the right angle you can see a recreation of Hopper's "morning sun n1 "
CC: And you are sure this is going to work Doctor?...
Doctor: With this serum injected in his bloodstream, Flint will be at your command . He will be a killing machine with total loyalty to Cobra. We can't use him as a spy, his mind will have deteriorated like the Toxo-Zombies, but he can be used as a decal. The Joes will be ripped to shreds before they realise what a monster their former field commander has become....
CC: excellent work Doctor. If this experiment proves succesfull, we'll supply you with more specimens...

The Proton Pagoda at Fermilab. Stacked from 101 20 second images
Opened in 1976, The proton Pagoda housed a control room for overseeing experiments in the Proton area.
The double helix staircase in the center of the structure was inspired by the structure of DNA.
LOTS more on the history of the Pagoda and the Proton Area on the Fermilab site.
Just back from a couple of days in Skye. It was meant to be Torridon but due to a landslip on the road I was meant to be taking I wound up in Skye.
No maps, and no plans for the area meant I had to just head to places I'd been before as I didn't have a great deal of time to wander about.
I tried some panoramic work with the Pano Rex head, and will post the results as and when I can deal with waiting for the PC to stitch 8 x 21 meg files together!
The full moon was out, so I thought I'd try a bit of night time photography.
This was 30 seconds, f4 at ISO 800. I didn't really know what to expect so it was a bit of a treat seeing this pop up on the screen. Not even done much of anything in photoshop either.

Today I experimented a combination of things... This little bird was the result.
I used watercolors, white acrylic ink and carbon ink in a mixture of "styles"
FOV: 6" wide.
This experiment was an attempt to recreate the fluorescence of chromium activated corundum (aka 'ruby'). Aluminum hydroxide was mixed with 1-4 drops of Cr(III) oxide in a basic solution. This was placed on a small amount of aluminum sulfate in an aluminum foil container and a bit of water was added.
The sample was then heated, first with a propane torch until the water was removed and then with a MAPP gas torch until the aluminum sulfate expanded into foam, trapping the aluminum hydroxide which was calcined into aluminum oxide by the torch's flame. (at least that was the plan)
Shown also is a natural ruby from Mysore, India.
See ruby excitation spectrum here (0.03% Cr):

Ruby (FL Red >GR,BL/UVa)
Ruby Foam (FL Red >GR,BL/UVabc)
Shown under UVa light.
Key:
WL = White light (halogen + LED)
FL = Fluoresces
PHOS = Phosphorescent
BL = 450nm, GR = 532nm
UVa = 368nm (LW), UVb = 311nm (MW), UVc = 254nm (SW)

Experiments in crochet, using the fibonacci sequence as a base for the patterns.., please let me know what you think
Image 2 of 4. These are acrylic beads, the kind used in aquariums and such. The four scenes are positioned exactly the same. I merely changed the lighting. You can see how different the view and details revealed by the changes. Random Stuff 039
Experiments in producing images for use in music videos, based on the subject 'Thoughtful Dream' in Midjourney.
A train ride with the Intercity Direct to Rotterdam. Tunnel vision.
Treinreis met de NS Intercity Direct naar Rotterdam. Tunnelvisie.
Was trying to do a very specific idea that i realized quickly wasn't going to work. This was one of the first test shots for exposure and whatnot
Again it was for experimental nothing much. But if I want to reshoot this image It would tell a story, to begin with, and change it from portrait to landscape. And I only liked the sunrise.
