This is an older picture but Popular Photo Magazine is featuring it on a "How To" tutorial on their January issue so I'm bumping it to the top of my stream to thank them and to thank all of you at Flickr!
There is nothing that my three-year-old daughter Pia loves more than me spinning her around (ok, maybe chocolate). She likes to go fast and she can take over 40 turns before we go down together for a crash landing.
Mi trick for spinning so long is to focus my gaze directly on her and disregard the rest of the spinning visual field. So I just had to take a picture of exactly what I see as we are spinning around: set exposure to 1/60 to 'freeze' her face but blur the background, prefocused manually and started spinning while looking through the viewfinder....
After each spinning session, we are both so dizzy that the game is to see who can stand on their feet first. I've never won : ).
Note: This is NOT an effect: we are really spinning. Only mild color correction, sharpening and croping in photoshop.
Note2: Don't try this at home unless you are willing to crash land with a toddler on one hand and your camera on the other.
Note3: From the side it looks something like:

but with one hand on the camera.

Flamingos, Barcelona Zoo.
"The Science Channel recently posted some video footage of flamingos. We are accustomed to seeing pictures of these pink birds and the natural beauty they possess. After seeing this video, however, many viewers were shocked by what was shown.
When you first see it, you will think that it is one flamingo digging its beak into the head of another flamingo. That second flamingo is holding its beak over a youngster’s mouth, and it looks as if there is blood dripping off of the beak and onto the younger flamingo.
Although it looks violent, it’s actually something that has a much different truth behind it. These 2 flamingos are both parents and they are attempting to feed their baby at the same time. Flamingos produce something known as crop milk, and it comes from their digestive tract. It is red in color and they regurgitate the crop milk to feed their young."

Part of my Deep Reflections series. These are single images that capture the reflecting surface, what is in front of the reflecting surface, and what is behind the reflecting surface. This allows the brain to recombine aspects of 3 different depths in various ways.

I got the most comments and compliments on this edit with a lot of different tricks available from my Repligator software by www.ransen.com. I like the simple and bright pinks here, so I submitted this for an entry into the T10 Traditional Challenge for our Kaleidoscope Players group.

"The more involved you get in the writing process," says bestselling author Robert Dugoni, "the more isolated you become." Dugoni was one of the participants in The Novel: Live!, a groundbreaking and awe-inspiring literary event in which thirty-six authors composed a novel, Hotel Angeline, over the course of just six days at a Seattle bar. In this video, Dugoni and other participating authors, including Erik Larson and Indu Sundaresan, discuss their odd writing habits, a few of which were on full display for local audiences during the making of Hotel Angeline. See how they survived the experience and helped create one of the most original books that the world has ever seen.

This image is from a picture of a two-color rose I found. You can look at the texture and tell it is definitely from flower petals. If you like it, I also have it larger at Picasa where you can download it to use for your Google or other backgrounds.

Here's the hard part about these challenges ... you get into this fun time of creating (like I do in my Repligator software by www.ransen.com) and then you make so many that you don't know what to do with them all. Which should I upload? Which should I post to the group? Did I choose the wrong ones and lose a chance at winning votes? And I'm thinking I should have chosen this one, but alas, the voting has begun. It's a good thing it's all fun anyway.
And speaking of fun, if you like to make or view kaleidoscope designs, consider joining the Kaleidoscope Fun group, where you can view all the pictures in the Pure K - Challenge 7 discussion. You can also find here the original source picture I used for this image; a photo by Miss Bliss 55.

Our Daily Topic - Handle With Care
if there's anything i believe in, it's Karma. when you're good to the world, the world will be good to you.
today, through a project at my university (TAU), i arrived to the local blood bank and donated thrombocytes. it was a long, uncomfortable process, about 2 hours of laying still and not moving my hand. but i know my blood will go to a child who suffers from Leukemia, and that's enough to make it worth it.
so if you're healthy, go to the local blood bank and spread your health. it will be good for you :)
Image 3 of 7 from our Kaleidoscopes Only - Challenge 2. My original photo of a bunch of colorful hair accessories (including a sparkling clip) can be found here.
This time, the focus was on the scarf-like hair ribbons where the pink and turquoise ribbons were right next to each other. My favorite thing about this picture is the dainty chain of hex as an underlying layer in the background.

One of fifty-one new designs I captured from inside one of my real kaleidoscope. This particular scope uses light from the side which reflects through colored glass into pieces of glass and jewels floating in oil. It also has a black bottom and black sides so the light actually illuminates the inside items like neon. I really like the turquoise petals next to the purple here.

This is the last of the ones I made from the paper flags. Even though I don't like these as much, I do like the illusions made from the stripes and the two-toned pink Star of David images in the centers.

Best to view in at least large to appreciate.
I made these last week for the Kaleidoscope Fun Birthday Challenge, but forgot to upload them as I got involved in other picture making. I got them into the group just hours before the deadline ;-)
In this one, I went back to my traditional Silicon Mirror to create the main image I would then use later in Repligator. But the colors in this one when viewed large ere so striking, that I had to use this for one of my challenge entries.

Cube made from Kaleidoscopes Only "One Picture - Many Images" challenge # 1. The black background behind the lattice tends to make a good cube.
I made this at the now defunct (as of Nov 2014) Dumpr website. I'm trying to remove all the links I had since they now forward to a new website with a lot of javascript that I can't be certain is safe.

(Historia de Warhammer 40k)
🎼 www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfg9YTpo2Uw&ab_channel=IAMCARRON 👽
Los “T'au” son la raza más joven y prodigiosa a nivel tecnológico, el primer contacto de los “T'au” con el imperio de la humanidad sucedió en el Milenio 35 cuando el “Adeptus Mechanicus” descubrió por medio de una nave de exploración un planeta distante con formas de vida alienígenas y lo catalogo como apto para su Exterminio y colonización, cuando se enviaron las primeras naves de siembra una tormenta disforme atrapo las naves y destruyo todo intento de colonizar el planeta.
Ignorando la suerte de no ser atacados prematuramente por el imperio de la humanidad los primitivos nómadas “T'au” pasaron de las rudimentarias herramientas de piedra y refugios improvisados con antorchas a un sistemas social más complejo de agricultores y castas tribales que construyeron grandes ciudades sobre la sabana de su mundo.
En poco tiempo las tribus aceleraron su conocimiento para construir fortalezas y armas de pólvora para protegerse de otras tribus rivales mientras mantenían un tratado fronterizo para comercializar productos esenciales con otras tribus; Por un tiempo mantuvieron en calma las tensiones políticas pero la codicia provoco el enfrentamiento entre los “T'au” y una guerra civil se extendió entre todas las tribus. (Miles de hembras y machos “T'au” murieron en los enfrentamientos que se ampliaron por todo el planeta.) 😢
Cuando el milenio 37 llego los “T'au” se encontraban al filo de la extinción por la guerra y la enfermedad, los pocos que resistían se mantenían atrincherados en sus fortalezas con poca agua y comida hasta que unas extrañas luces aparecieron en los cielos. Muchos rezaron al pensar que era una señal de que el fin estaba cerca pero estas mismas luces descendieron y una silueta apareció para comunicarse con sus líderes, los extraños se presentaron como los “Etereos” y difundieron su mensaje de paz y esperanza entre las tribus. ✨
Buscando acabar con la absurda rivalidad entre las tribus “T'au”, los “Etereos” difundieron un mensaje diplomático que llamaron el “Bien Supremo” o “T'au'Va” (en lenguaje Tau) que declara que: “los seres sintientes deben esforzarse por el bien mayor de todos” este ideal fue tan revolucionario para los “T'au” que todas las tribus firmaron la paz y reconstruyeron sus ciudades con más grandeza bajo el liderazgo de los “Etereos”. Los avances tecnológicos que consiguieron los “T'au” bajo el ideal del “Bien Supremo” impulso la formación de un imperio galáctico que se extendió por varios mundos donde otras especies alienígenas tendrían la opción de unirse al creciente imperio “T'au” (queda aclara que bajo el ideal del “Bien Supremo” no existe ninguna “xenofobia” incluso los humanos se pueden unir pacíficamente).
Con forme se expandieron por su sistema planetario los “T'au” avanzaron para cambiar la pólvora por armas laser, rifles plasma muy concentrado y vehículos gravitatorios. En el campo de batalla puede contar con una “IA” que los asiste en la planeación de una estrategia militar. Su única desventaja es la aberración de los “T'au” por un conflicto cuerpo a cuerpo por considerarlo una táctica de barbaros prefiriendo los ataques de distancia para evitar el contacto directo con el enemigo.
Inevitablemente el Imperio “T'au” se encontraría con el “Imperio de la humanidad” y el contacto entre ambas civilizaciones no fue muy agradable al observar que las colonias de humanos que habitaban en las regiones más apartadas por la luz del Emperador se habían convertido al ideal del “Bien Supremo”; La batalla que se desencadeno por traición al dogma imperial se estancó por varios meses con grandes pérdidas para ambos bandos que decidieron pactar una tregua por la repentina invasión de una nueva especie de “Xenomorfo” que representaba una mayor amenaza para ambos imperios. (Los Tau se salvaron nuevamente del exterminio) 😆
Como dato curioso no confirmado se piensa que una diferencia en el dimorfismo sexual de los “T'au” está en el órgano sensorial de su frente en forma de “I” en los machos y las hembras en forma de “Y”, incluso se tiene la teoría de que los “T'au” desciende de una especie alada por sus huesos frágiles y huecos. 🐦
🎬 Aquí el Imperio de la humanidad atacando a los “T'au”:

(Desde la perspectiva “T'au” la humanidad es malvada y fanática con su deidad) 😨
