Often I feel like a lot of SL photos aim to look as real as possible... I strive for that as well.
This is the opposite of that
Striving for that perfect black and white flower shot, whatever that might be.
I am not a "flower photographer", but I do enjoy the challenge of getting a good flower shot. And while I don’t always know what kind of flower I am shooting, on a good day, I can usually tell a rose from a daisy.
like a mother whose unconditional love never ends, it always gravitates the child and provides him/her a reason to live, strive and return to her seeking the same love and compassion !
I still remember this tree years later, and it took me much longer to process this shot than I'd expected. It's not perfect, but it conveys the message I felt well when I first saw this guy striving for life in old age and after weathering many storms. It's on an exposed ridgeline in Patagonia, and as anyone who's been there during a storm knows... this guy has seen some insane conditions and lived through it all.
Tra due individui, l'armonia non è mai scontata, deve essere continuamente conquistata.

In Striving for More, One Can’t Put Others Down
It’s your race to strive, struggle and win
The blessings of this life are yours; do not settle for less!
They are a gift from above and for others around
Be sure to share as you bring it to life
After all, we’re all on this same planet together!
Another work of short poetry or prose to complement the image captured one morning while walking the Endless Wall Trail in New River Gorge National Park & Preserve. This setting is looking to the northeast from Diamond Point Overlook. With this image, I focused on the look across that ‘endless wall,’ capturing some of the cliff face present along with the forest of trees that seemingly went on to a distant horizon. By metering for the slightly brighter areas in the tree leaves, I felt I was able to capture enough of the highlights, while later being able to pull out the more shadowed areas without a color cast. I did some initial post-processing work making adjustments to contrast, brightness and saturation while playing around as I learned how to work with DxO PhotoLab 4. I then exported a TIFF image to Nik Color Efex Pro 4 where I added a Polarization, Foliage and Skylight filter for that last effect on the image captured.
I strive to get shots full frame. It's not always possible when the birds are too far away. I hope you know what I mean.

He always seems that real life is about to begin but every time there was a ordeal to overcome an obstacle in the way must be passed, the work to be done, religion must be paid, and time must be spent, so life begins, but I finally came to understand that these things were Life is

Han ser alltid ut til at virkeligheten er i ferd med å begynne, men hver gang det var en prøvelse for å overvinne et hinder i veien må passeres, arbeidet som skal gjøres, religion må betales, og tid må tilbringes, så livet begynner, men livet begynner, men Jeg kom endelig til å forstå at disse tingene var livet er
“All strive for victory. But not all understand what it truly is. To a soldier or pilot on the line, victory is surviving the current battle. To a politician, victory is an advantage one can bring to a bargaining table. To a warrior, victory is driving an enemy from the field of battle, or bringing him to surrender.
Sometimes victory is greater than the warrior could ever hope for. Sometimes it is more than he is able to hear.”
- Thrawn
It all started almost two months ago with an idea. Make something for May 4th (I’m late, I know, but cut me some slack). Me and Jan, the Creator are both big fans of the Imperial architecture seen in the Star Wars universe and wanted to do something large in size. After some hours of researching, looking through many concept arts and designs, the plans were put together and we set out to build our creations.
~ Platform ~
The starting point for me here was the platform on which the custom Tie Fighter (designed by Jerac) and many minifigs are standing on. One piece of concept art / Imperial structure we found was a large landing platform on Kashyyyk. To get the shaping right, a combination of corner slopes, hinges and many larger tiles were used to get the look. Since the surrounding area was to be terrain, I went with Dark Orange as the color for the ground. I purposefully left this area more flat and basic to leave attention towards the base. I also wanted a small area below the platform to store speeders which also helps break up the bottom area, giving it some action.
~ Base ~
The base itself was built in two main sections and some medium sized segments at the top. Walls here uses various tiles in LBG and DBG to form this Imperial architecture design. Was quite a challenge later on with the lack of tiles in certain areas so I had to get creative in how I would spread them. Instead of just using regular tile, I also made use of sandwhich tiles, corner faucet cut tiles and some snot to built up this area. Lots of other elements were used for detail including some DBG frames that I attached to tiles to create this column in the middle wall. The key thing while working on this was to keep a balance of simplicity and detail, something that can get lost while working on a larger creation. As we get to the top, you can see more detail and extras, like crates and dishes that populate this area.
~ Minifigs ~
The last thing I want to discuss is the minifigs used throughout the build. The Imperial selection of officers, troopers and crew is very extensive so once again, keeping a balance was important. Me and Jan wanted to include characters like Grand Admiral Thrawn and Moff Tarkin to give these creations a bit more purpose. Perhaps they’re here to inspect something new, here for a strategy session, the point is these two give a presence, even with being two small minifigs. The Death Troopers additionally work well to complement those, giving you once again the feeling that there are things at work here.
Thank you to CTR Bricks for helping edit the picture.
