This was my first failed lift or shall I say the emulsion failed to stick to the watercolor paper. I did not realize the emulsion was not secure and when I moved the dried photo / paper the photo cracked. I latherd some gel medium on the photo in hopes to afix the image and repair the cracks (you can see my brush strokes). Not 100% sure why the emulsion did not stick. I have done a bunch of lifts and this was the first time I have encountered this issue . Anyone else have any similar issues?
Went to the local Toledo Butterfly house. Fail! Many moths do fly during the day, and that certainly isn't the biggest difference between the groups. Disappointing.
This is why people gain weight on vacation.
Why MacroMonday? Because a few of these little things will give you a great big....
While watching the movie, the sound stopped and the cinema started to play a hindi song! :D
They did rewind the movie and showed the whole 5 minute scene again - with real movie sound...
I wasn't sure if I liked the cropped version or the not-cropped version better and G had the idea to add some lyrics from one of the songs I wrote, and I kind of like it too. So, these are part of the lyrics from the song I wrote called "Failed Goodbye". It's recorded and available for you to listen to if you're so inclined, message me and I'll send you the link!
First attempt to render a snapshot for a given date : my first thought was that the valid date ranges for ways are not right and overlap. Detailed checking for several dates showed no duplicate way_ids, but examination of one of the railway lines showed that the nodes had not been sorted properly before building the linestring.
More investigation required.
Hmmmmmmm ???

Eis que pensei em dar um up no Yacht.
"Tenho aquelas películas da Protector Nail, acho que vai ficar legal :D"
Só que... não. Apanhei muito dessas porcariazinhas. A ideia era colocar em todas as unhas, mas minha paciência inexistente só permitiu usar nos polegares e nos mindinhos. Malditas películas do demo 😒
Isso tudo sem contar que eu coloquei de cabeça pra baixo 😁. Pessoa "jênia" não pode fazer uma só coisa errada, precisa zoar em tudo 😅
Pelo menos ninguém pode dizer que eu não tentei.
P.S. 1: Foto com ajuste de cor porco pra eu não ficar com mão de lagosta, mas o objetivo aqui é mostrar a película e não a cor do esmalte, então tá de boas.
P.S. 2: Não sou canhota, é só pose besta pra foto.
...but not because it doesn't look good now, because it does. Annie was supposed to be a redhead from the beginning but, when I tried this wig on him when he had his first faceup (that I accidentally destroyed) this wig looked AWFUL on him! Like, SUPER DUPER AWFUL! I then gave this wig away to my Volks School D boy. But, I decided for curiousity's sake to try this on him now and see what happened. Unfortunately, it looks friggin GREAT! But, I already gave the wig away to another character and I now have a completely different idea for his new wig. So, he will remain a temp blonde while I remain bitter that NOW he looks good in red. LOL! :D
I spotted the vendor from far away, noticed the traditional clothing he was wearing. I walked past the table pretending not to notice him. Then I acted like I have taken interest in the stuff he was selling. Pulled out the camera, wham! he blocked his face. Understanding the gesture, I snapped anyway, hoping he would not kick my butt for it (learned this from Ana Lee Smith).
I always shoot RAW and up until now I always shot with Nokon gear only. Hence I have only used Niks excellent (its a love or hate type of software) Capture NX to process my RAW files. Recently I bought a Fuji X100 so with that I needed to search out a RAW processing program for it. Natural choice was Adobe Lightroom. New version just out, many revisions and also hugely popular.
I installed the demo version and went ahead and learnt how to use it. While it had many features that I would never use, the main thing of converting RAW files worked well and I achieved good results without too much effort. Lightroom though was very slow on my not so new but not so old system. But I could live with it.
I looked at the pricing and in Australia its sold for $187 ex GST (ie download version). In USA its $149. Being an Aussie I get charged 25% over the USA price. Not cool. I tried a quick method to fudge it and "pretend" I am American but that failed. I know I can setup proxies, mail addresses to get around this but I didn't feel like going to these lengths just to buy a product.
In the end I gave up on Lightroom and tried different RAW processors. None really caught my eye too much, plus they were quite expensive. It wasn't until late last week I came across Corel After Shot Pro. Based on the old Bible Pro, I decided to give it a go. Impressive, very impressive. Not as polished as Lightroom, but also not as bloated, and much, much faster. The best bit is that I pay same price whether I am in Sydney, San Francisco or Hong Kong. And the better bit is that the price of $53 USD (using coupon code "ARTCOREL10" for 10% Off ) is about $80 cheaper than the Adobe stuff.
Fail Adobe. And I hope this enquiry will result in some changes. Some Adobe execs need to realise that if you buy a coffee in Sydney they will be charged the same price as the Aussie dude standing next to them or the Chinese woman sitting reading the paper sipping her coffee...
I don't mess with logo design stuff to much. I know this sucks 90%, but i liked it! haha

This is a series of experiments with part of a band sampler from Lesley Wilkin's Traditional Blackwork Samplers. Each quarter is different except for the bottom two of the motif on the right. They aren't my style so I won't use them but I still learned a lot.
