I do not even know how I created this but I guess it is not important. I am pretty sure was probably in Topaz.
Happy Slider Sunday
I remember that day very well. I was out in the field with several pro birders - something that happens very rarely. And the day was bright, but quite windy.
For the weavers, sudden gusts of wind disturbed these hanging nests and some of them got entangled in the acacia plant branches. The weavers were continuously inspecting the nests and I remember 1-2 of the nests were stuck on the branches rendering them unsafe from predators and thus useless. This nest was intact, but the bird took no chances - he inspected it several times and was protecting it from other males who I think were trying to grab it.
This one looked like a winning nest to me - well built - complete and sturdy. The quality of the nest determines the males chances to find a mate in these species.
Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
Our guess is that this was a rendering facility of some kind. The building at the side looks occupied..
Apologies for adding this late but here's the definition in Dictionary. Com;... Rendering Works - (used with a singular verb) a factory or plant that renders and processes livestock carcasses into tallow, hides, fertilizer, etc
Art for its own sake can be a rewarding experience. The photo has the appearance of an artful rendering with brush strokes, and parameters. The dark shadows and various colours, are struck by an interuption of bright light.
This is however, part of a stream in Cliff Gilker park. Absent of much rain as of late, there is less flow, and the scene takes on an almost stranded look.
In this months Kaizen #59 there was an interesting tutorial using photos of architecture. I haven't finished that yet but did a project first using my personal approach to this idea. All of these elements are from itKuPiLLi, one of the best of the contributors to the program. I call this Renaissance Architecture Rendering. Enjoy!
Out with Kevin on Sunday morning for some early shooting. A painterly rendering with motion blur with the shadow/light forest view!
Ok....my first sketches are always rough, just playing with an idea. I refine it a little bit before I start the rendering. Then on tracing paper I very lightly will start with a single center line to use as a reference. I also draw a center line on my rough sketch to compare. The rough sketches are just a tad bigger than actual size but the rendering will be at least 3 to four times actual size. All first lines are drawn as lightly as possible.....and with a .3mm pencil that I keep fine sanded to a needlepoint. I use an eraser shield and an eraser a lot....but try to draw lines only once (ha!). I use a compass whenever a clean large circle or an arc is called for. I use plastic templates for smaller circles or arcs. I use a steel straight edge and have several french curves on hand. I try and keep my grubby, oily hands off the paper by covering areas already drawn with another sheet of clean paper. When all the lines are lightly drawn just the way I want them, I erase whatever extra marks I can find and air blast the residue off. Then I darken all the lines. Then I shade it. Then I hit the whole thing with the eraser again, and air blast it. Then I apply a very light spray of "Aussie Instant Freeze" hair spray. Now it's time to paint the back. With fine sable brushes I first paint only the areas which are "gold", being very careful not to go outside the lines, hee hee! Dry it thoroughly. Then I rather sloppily apply the other colors quickly so as not to disturb the gold layer. Dry thoroughly. For this job I then also returned to the front and applied tiny smudges (without any rubbing or blending) of a day-glo green oil pastel to the green stones for highlights and green, orange and a little blue for the opal's play of color. For this back-painted rendering to be successful, you must use at least tracing paper......but vellum is uber nice! From there on it's photoshop for color-enhancement and more cleanup. But the images above are how far I get by hand.
Hello everyone! Just per usual, another room I've put together... Soon I'll be finishing up with a client project so I'll post those rooms up sometime next week.
I was jamming to this tune while creating this scene - www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvmKxDcO8vU
I generally don't get too excited about the computer I use but this is the exception. For Christmas, my computer techno-savvy son built me a new computer from the ground up and that's it, on the left. The case sides are glass panels, one I've opened to cut down on the reflection and better show the components. I posted a shot of the video card and here it is in operation. The end game is this runs/processes much faster than my current laptop, has sufficient storage and really does look cool, IMO!! BTW: That's his cat Mouse in my Photostream.
This is a good stopping point for most but some may care to read further for the technical details:
The main issue with my current laptop is that it only has 256KB of solid state (SSD) storage for the programs which is maxed out and 1TB of hard drive storage that holds a half a year of photos, the rest of the 8 TB library, resides on an external hard drive. In addition, Photoshop uses the external drive for scratch work and that slows things down especially the rendering of focus stacked images. This machine has 3 X 1TB SSD drives and a built in 18TB SATA hard drive that I can keep the complete library on. Photoshop runs exclusively on the solid state drives and is processed through the 8GB GeForce RTX 2070 Super Graphics Card. The main processor is a AMD Ryzen 7 3800x 8-core Processor @ 3.90 Ghz cooled with a NZXT liquid intercooler. Supporting the processor is G.Skill Trident Z RGB Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4 SRAM. The main power comes from a Corsair SF 600 Power Supply. All in all I'm very happy with the specs and in the end, my son was right, I did need a new computer!
Another sneak peek of the cafe and bakery building I'm working on. Computer rendering but only existing bricks/colors were used.
In optics, a caustic or caustic network is the envelope of light rays reflected or refracted by a curved surface or object, or the projection of that envelope of rays on another surface. The caustic is a curve or surface to which each of the light rays is tangent, defining a boundary of an envelope of rays as a curve of concentrated light.
We're Here visiting Caustics
Yes, that is how it's done in Mongolia. We ate this ram to celebrate my two families coming together (American and Mongolian).
My host father is in the canary yellow shirt. My little host sister, Otka is as amazed as I am.
I am drinking a Borigo beer, which is a great local brew for casual consumption in the countryside. Label out for photo!
Here is my rendering of a rushing stream near Angels Camp CA. This effect was done with Photoshop to make it more ethereal.
When the photo is not good you can make a painting of it, possibilities are endless
Thanks for the visit have all a nice day
5Q08 Ilford - Kilmarnock with 317512 and 317503 looking good north of Tamworth. The light was dropping like a stone but thanks to modern digital rendering it looks OK.
So I have no idea why these DBG backgrounds are looking like doo-doo. I took Matt's advice and reset POV-Ray to initial settings, and it is still looking like this. All white, LBG, and tan look fine, most of the time. But the darker background looks BAD. Anyone have any suggestions?
