This is an experiment, just wanted to see what can be installed on this: P2/128M/2G/NIC
Result: quite a bit of Linux still fits in there...
First official attempts at working with the strobist ideas on off camera flash and lighting. Shot with a Nikon D40 at F/16 with an exposure of 1/500. The flash is an SB800 in SU-4 mode. The power was set at 1/64. The zoom was set to 105mm. The flash was above and to the right of the vase.
experimenting with smoke with intention to INCORPORATE it into my end of year photographic project. not smoke on its own.
I read that good snow images need bracketed exposures, so I made an experiment. This image is a PS5 HDR using three bracketed images. The previous and next images are single exposures edited in LR5.
first experiments with manual settings and changing the app. to f10 to see if i can get more in focus
This is my first time to use a white background, trying to achieve high key style photography. I'm still learning and experimenting with the style.
With a favorite fabric an experiment. Not perfect, because I had no idea of the best method of sewing this, but next will be better. A bit unlike me, one needs to be very careful with sizes here.
Recipes for happiness from the Director of the Ornithology of Happiness project Research Institute of Cardboardia
Colleagues! Comrades! Friends! This is the director of the Laboratory of Ornithology at the Cardboardia Research Institute. I appeal to all employees of the Laboratory, all its interns and volunteers, as well as to all those who are not indifferent to the scientific progress of the state of Cardboardia.
Recipes for happiness from the Director of the Ornithology of Happiness project Research Institute of Cardboardia.
Our field trip to Kirov, the New Year's capital of Russia in 2025, was recently completed. I am ready to state with full responsibility that all the tasks set have been achieved. We continued our long-standing observations of changes in the level of happiness of the population depending on its geographical location and the time of the year. We have successfully and fruitfully conducted training and retraining of local personnel for potential further participation in the programs of our Research Institute (as well as several permanent residence visas in Cardboardia). Our main task has also been completed — the Vyatka-Kirov Bird of Happiness has been discovered, examined and studied. All received materials will be transferred to the main department of the Research Institute for further work.
I can't help but share some more specific research results. It turned out that the following actions and factors significantly increase the level of happiness in human blood:
• A sharp smile from ear to ear. However, if you have weak blood vessels, you should not use it more than 2-3 times a day.;
• the presence of a headdress on the head (regardless of its appearance and the time of day and year outside the window);
• voluntary and compulsory gymnastics;
At the same time, to our surprise, the following factors negatively affect the level of happiness (both in the short and long term):
• Regular queuing;
• moving up the career ladder too fast;
• a person's lack of sense of rhythm;
According to the tradition of our Research Institute, the Laboratory ended with a large-scale urban march. Several hundred citizens and visitors from other cities who came to Kirov temporarily became naturalists (and at the same time naturalists). The prototype of the Bird of Happiness created by us during the Laboratory has become not only the spiritual, but also the material center of the procession. All the participants, armed with all kinds of objects created by them during our Open Workshops, formed the mass, the core of the procession. Its main purpose was to test in practice (it is important — outdoors) the ability of Happiness to concentrate in various manifestations of human culture: in color, sound, matter.
One can already admit that the whole procession was one big scientific experiment. In addition to the above, it confirmed another of our hypotheses — happiness can be transmitted through physical contact. All the participants of the march were in close physical proximity to each other, which does not happen so often in everyday life. Therefore, today's advice from scientists is to stay with your friends and family more often, hug and do not be afraid of live contact with people. Infection with a bad mood through touching has not yet been proven. In the near future, the Publishing House of Cardboardia, I hope, will release a specialized brochure "Happiness at home and in reality" on how to stay happy under any circumstances.
Concluding my report, I would like to thank the Tyran of Cardboardia for such an attentive and reverent attitude towards science, its development and, most importantly, its people. Hooray, friends! Your I. K

It was icy cold and I was going to sleep in a tent....what to do? Well, I had my camera there, so.. :P
Shot on 35mm old of date old film and developed with the black and white film process.
I know what your thinking why upload this image?
Because!!! This photo was taken through a smashed UV filter.

I used to say that the bread that's brought ahead of a meal at CPK was
part of a social experiment — for two people they'd bring three
pieces of bread. Three people, four pieces. My assesment was that they
wanted to find out who'd be dick enough to eat the last piece.
This is how you find out who your real friends are, by the way.
This location, apparently, does away with the mind games and let's you
get right to the good stuff. Bread.

Another experiment in digital painting... and a personal breakthrough in technique for me.
I'm very excited!

I already knew that with Flock you can drag and drop photos into blog posts, but this morning I discovered, thanks to this section of the help site ...
extensions.flock.com/adding-photos-to-your-blogs-and-comm...
... that you can drag and drop them into a web based email client too (in this case Gmail). I think that is really cool.
Another busy day!!!
Our Science Surfers experiments are always astonishing
and kids were indeed surprised with density tower they made today.
They also enjoyed collaging the UAE national flag craft.
Basketball during their outdoor play was awesome.
Kids enjoyed circle time reviewing numbers and Phonics.
They acted as mail carriers delivering White Fields mails during pretend play.
They were very surprised to see how Pepsi drink exploded after adding baking soda during the science experiment.
It was a great day for us at White fields Nursery.
7 is the number of the God in numerology. I tried to make an abstract painting based on the fight of good and evil ( if you count all these numbers in a correct way you will find number 666, which is the number of the Devil). It is also about the fight between our mind and soul. It is also about insanity, obsession with numbers that a lot of people actually have and that is ruining lives of human beings. The texture was inspired by the fence of one cemetery. It took me some time to get it right, I experimented quite a bit.
