Small light bulb next to me flicked on while I was waiting for a burrito. Snapped on the Momentlens macro and faced the setting sun.
036/365.
I was going to do something related to the olympics today due to it being the night of the opening ceremony in London, but a. it was too bright all day to do much until the evening and b. I wasn't sure how to go about shooting my idea. Perhaps I'll do it tomorrow or later in the project if I can ensure it'll look right. Instead, I had a root around my porch, found a lightbulb and shot this in my back garden by this plant that I've always liked. I'm happy with it despite it not being what I originally intended to shoot today.
This is inspired by Xin, not only her photo with the lightbulb but her whole beautiful stream and the sharpness and colours of her images.
My Facebook page is nearing 500 likes, and when I get there I shall be doing another print giveaway, so if you're interested please go over and like my page! It'd mean a lot! :)
Highspeed photo of a dynamic-still scene where a lightbulb is hit by a dart (the blue "thing") traveling at 1,000 feet per second.
Picture taken with two strobes at 1/30,000 of a second. Strobes were activated using a laser trigger; the dart interrupting the laser caused the strobes to fire.
Unfortunately some highlights on the dummy are overexposed. Oh well.
"Losing your parents, and Rita, in such a short amount of time.. No one should have to go through that, especially at such a young age. I'm so sorry Gar." She says, placing her hand on my shoulder. I can't stop myself from welling up, with the tears flowing down my cheek moments later.
"Thanks. It's been hard, trying to stay strong while moving forward. Whenever I had a bad day after my parents died, I could always call Rita, and talk with her about it. But now, she's gone. With only a voicemail message on my phone as a reminder. But I keep it, just so I can hear her voice again. Weird, I know." I respond, having a hard time seeing anything with the tears blocking my vision.
"Weird? Not really. When we lose someone we care about, it's perfectly natural to hold onto something that reminds us of them.. I mean, I'd probably keep the voicemail too. Also, you've already shown your true strength. With the way you've reassured me, even though you've got your own problems, and how you can keep smiling, after all that's happened.. Can't say I'd do the same.." She says, looking down at the streets of Markovia, before looking back at me.
"It's been nice, having someone to talk to about this. I--" I'm interrupted by the loud ringing of an alarm going off nearby.
"Well, duty calls.. Stop the bad guys and whatnot. You coming?" I ask, wiping my eyes, before changing into a hawk.
"I guess I'll tag along. Besides, it's not like I got anything else to do right now!" Tara says with a smirk, nodding, so we start flying to where the alarm is coming from. Of course, it just so happens to be a bank. Coming out of it are two costumed individuals, one male, the other female. The guy is way larger than the girl, in size, and in pure muscle mass. They seem to get a reaction out of Tara however.
"Selinda, is that you?" She asks, as we descend towards the two of them.
"Selinda?! Haven't heard someone call me that in a long time.. It's Shimmer now." The girl responds, with a blatantly Australian accent. Not knowing how else to respond, she stays relatively quiet, until the lightbulb goes off in her head, so to speak.
"Wait a minute... Tara? Is that you?"
"Yeah, it's me. Longtime no see Sel. Back to your old ways I see."
"Not all of us have the luxury of being royalty." She replies with a smirk.
"You know these two?!" I ask, bewildered. She never mentioned them during her story.
"Sorry I forgot to mention them earlier G-Changeling, but yeah, I do. Selinda and Baran Flinders.. We were all pretty close friends when we were younger when they moved here from Australia."
"Green bird? We should get going!" The behemoth of a man yells, looking back at Selinda, with bags of cash in his hands. Australian accent.. Noice.
"Awh, a pet name! How cute! Can't say that it's very endearing, but hey, who am I to judge?" Selinda laughs, looking like she's ready to run.
"Anyways, we gotta run. Glad you're not dead Tara."
"You're not going anywhere with that money." I say, landing in front of Selinda, turning to my regular form.
"Tara, please tell your metahuman boytoy here not to make such idle threats." She doesn't seem all that surprised at me shifting.
"He's not--- Please, just stop this Sel.. If Baran drops the money now, you two can walk away from this."
"So you're a bigshot hero now? That's disappointing.. Could've even let you be part of this, for old times sake. But you leave us no choice." She looks over at her brother, and nods. It's then he charges towards me. The ground cracks, with every step he takes. Selinda, or as she calls herself now, Shimmer, gets out-of-the-way, as he rams right into me, sending me flying towards a street light. As my back hits the street light, I cry out in pain, changing into a gorilla, before leaping back towards him. Tara starts doing her thing, with rock formations coming out of the ground around Shimmer, trapping her. Though it doesn't last long, as with a touch, the formations turns to water, leaving a small puddle by her feet.
"Looks like I'm not the only one to learn some new tricks these past few years. But your tricks have nothing on mine!" Shimmer taunts, raising her hand. Touching a nearby garbage can, it changes into something much smaller, which she throws at Tara. I notice what it is far too late.
"Watch out! Grenade!" I yell out, but I noticed it a little too late, as Tara gets sent off her rock platform, falling towards the ground at an alarming rate. I'm able to leap away from Baran, towards Tara, catching her in mid-air, before landing seconds later. Placing her down, I stand in front of her, as Baran and Selinda head towards us.
"I'm alright. Tis but a flesh wound." She reassures me, gripping my hand to help herself up. She just quoted Monty Python.. My day's been made.
"A Monty Python quote?! Can't say I saw that one coming, but it's a nice surprise!" I blurt out, before grabbing the nearest dumpster, throwing it at Shimmer. Her brother interferes, stepping in front of her, and catching it. Doesn't stop her from touching it seconds later however, with the dumpster changing into doves.\
"Where'd green boy go?" Baran asks, looking around.
"He's around here somewhere. Probably as something small. Be careful." Shimmer replies cautiously.
I use this time to get in close, changing into a mere fly, flying somewhat close to the ground. Tara creates a pillar beneath her, which she uses as a way to propel her forward. Creating various pillars in front of her, she jumps from one to the next, with her jumping from the last one, tackling Selinda. Somehow, Baran doesn't notice me. Changing into a snake, I wrap myself around Baran's upper body. He struggles, trying to get me off, which eventually leads to him ramming himself into a nearby street vendor stall. Owwh. That's gonna leave a mark! I revert back to human form upon impact. Groaning as I get up, I change into a panther, pouncing on Baran. I'm able to scratch him a few times before he lands a hit in, uppercutting me into the air. Changing back into a hawk, I flap my wings, steadying myself.
"Phew, that was a close one.." I say, still catching my breath.
Meanwhile, Shimmer's trying to find anything nearby she can use as a weapon, as she exchanges blows with Tara. Tara's being careful not to give Shimmer any ammunition, only using her earth powers to propel her attacks, and quick constructs to give her the advantage, before getting rid of them moments later. When she has a moment, Tara creates a curved ramp, like she did in the fight against Corvus and the Murder of Crows. It's almost like a signature move at this point, as I change into an armadillo, rolling down it. Propelling me towards Baran, I change back into a gorilla, slamming my fists down on his ribcage. He grunts in pain, as the concrete cracks beneath his body. He still won't give up, still doing everything he can to fight me off.
It feels like this stalemate of sorts has gone on forever when all of a sudden, I hear a police siren. It seems that they do as well, as their expression changes drastically.
"Let's get out of here!" Shimmer yells, as she gets out from under Tara, dashing away from the fight
"But what about the money?!" Baran asks, pointing at the bags of money across the street from where we are.
"That doesn't matter right now! The moment the cops catch us, we're dead. Especially since we're metas." Shimmer warns, as Baran looks down, before following his sister.
"We should follow them." I say, looking over at Tara
"And do what exactly? They're right you know, in the fact that they'll be executed the moment they're caught. Of course what they're doing is wrong, I know that. But being a meta, is seen as the same thing as being a witch many years ago. Impure, abomination, you name it. As such, we can't really go about the hero thing the same way you can in America. We stopped them from taking the money, and that's what matters. They don't deserve to die just because they have powers." She shakes her head, getting heated when talking about this.
"Okay, okay.. It just feels strange, letting them go. But it's true, no one deserves to die for the gifts they've been given. So, where -" All of the sudden, I feel this throbbing pain in my head, and throughout my body. Falling down to my knees, I can't stop myself from screaming.
"Gar? Gar!!! What's wrong? " Tara asks, rushing over to my side.
"I don't know!! It's like I'm feeling someone else's pain!" I answer, in between screams, as my hand clenches onto my head.
Now there are voices talking to me. I can't make sense of what they're telling me. Mentions of red, along with San Diego.. Why is red, and San Diego so important? Finally the pain subsides, and I notice that her hand is holding mine. I can't help myself from blushing.
"Already feeling way better!" I say with a smile, as I make eye contact with Tara.
"If you say so. What was that all about? Has this happened before?"
"No.. That's the first time it happened. There were these voices! Mentioned the color red, and something about San Diego. Not really sure what it all means, but I guess San Diego's my next stop."

I know this is different from the desktops that I have created in the past but I wanted to create something a little bit easier to read and something that had a lot more information on it. All text on desktop is created with Geektool and the taksbar is changed due to the Magnifique theme Kaer B3. The iTunes Coverart and information is created with CoverSutra. Finally, the weather and battery information is created by Yahoo Widgets. Look below and all links will be posted along with all of the Geektool Script. I hope you enjoy! If you have any questions feel free to ask and I will answer them as soon as I can.
