"Gaslighting" is a technique used by NARCISSISTS to make their victims doubt their own memories, their perceptions about interactions and events and conversations, etc.

Narcissists can even get their victims to doubt their own sanity. Some people can start doubting themselves, and thus become disempowered through not being able to trust their own memories and perceptions.

 

On Youtube there is a lot of info about all the tricks and manipulations used by Narcissists. Links below to two of the best channels on the subject, Dr Ramani:

Sa technique de pêche repose sur l'affût, perché sur une branche au-dessus de l'eau. Il repère ses proies en agitant la tête de droite à gauche, puis soit pique directement, la tête la première, depuis son perchoir, soit effectue un bref vol stationnaire avant de plonger. Il revient souvent se poser sur son perchoir dont il se servira pour assommer sa proie avant de la lancer en l'air pour la gober tête la première.

Le succès de ses pêches est très sensible aux conditions climatiques, la pluie troublant la surface, ou la turbidité de l'eau rendant le repérage des proies plus difficile.

His fishing technique is based on the lookout, perched on a branch above the water. He spots his prey by waving his head from right to left, then either spades directly, head first, from his perch, or performs a brief hovering before diving. He often comes back on his perch which he will use to knock out his prey before throwing it in the air to swallow head first.

The success of its fisheries is very sensitive to the climatic conditions, the rain disturbing the surface, or the turbidity of the water making the identification of the preys more difficult.

The kingfisher regurgitates balls of rejection, part of which is the layer on which the eggs will be deposited at the bottom of the burrow.

A toy electric motor as a 1:1 macro. I suppose it belongs to the series "Märklin Metall" from the early 70ies. This was a modular kit system made of metal to construct mechanical things for older kit. This one is a still working motor, driven by a 9V battery. The copper wires induce a magnetic effect propelling this motor like in every electric driven engine.

I have tried a new technique which I learned yesterday from the photostream of mobius faith. The image is converted to a black and white image, then overlaid with the original coloured version, adjusting the transparency. I put the two images alongside and this definitely was more punchy! Whether it would work for all landscapes I don't know.

 

Thanks for the technique, Terry! Hope you like it.

Focus Pulling is a technique of adjusting focus from out of focus to tack sharp during a firework explosion over 1 to 3 seconds. similar physical operation as zooming during exposure only you use the manual focus ring instead of the zoom ring.

I am starting on a new project: pictures of our nearby forest. I have always found taking pictures of forests quite difficult and have been dissatisfied with my results. A book gave me new inspiration and also made me try a new technique: focus stacking.

 

Focus stacking realised with Helicon Focus.

I get to observe a number of birds while they are foraging and either I've been asleep or have never seen a Little Blue Heron employ the old toe tapping technique of the Snowy Egret! This guy was doing just that and the minute the poor hapless fish made a move to escape the toe it ended up in the beak!!! Photo was taken on Horsepen Bayou!!

ODT - Color on Black

I was trying to get some in-flights of the hummingbirds in our backyard the other day. Our yard was still shaded so even at ISO 2000 this was shot at 1/25th of a second. I thought it was interesting as it shows the range of wing movement. You might ask, Todd, why did you shoot it at +1/3 EV exposure compensation. Well, it's a little technique I call "not checking your settings". [sigh]

As the fair weather continues, I thought it would be a good opportunity to practise some focus stacking techniques. This is one of the more simple ones that I did but I liked the composition enough to share the image. I am blending manually and this can be a pain-staking and lengthy process but I really do think that the rewards are worth the effort. There are still mistakes in focus points in all of the images I took yesterday but ultimately, I feel I managed to conceal these well for the most part. This image was taken on the coastline of Portknockie in Morayshire, Scotland.

Refining my comet shooting technique after the dramas of last time. I used a Nikon D810A with a Sigma Art 135mm lens at f/2, ISO200, 27 x 30 second shots during and beyond astro twilight. The camera was on a ZWO AM5, I used the ZWO ASIAIR Mini to polar align, then get my framing where I was happy with it, and ran the autofocus routine with a ZWO EAF connected to the lens. Once that was done I ran unguided in continuous exposure mode with a wired shutter release that locks on, while I shot landscape astro comet shots with the other camera. For processing I used APP, I didn't do any comet alignment. I removed much of the astro twilight colour from the sky and with more subs the satellites are almost gone. The artifact on the bottom right is from the ground getting in the frame! Final processing in Photoshop.

Le terme « SNIPER PHOTOGRAPHIQUE » désigne un photographe qui utilise des techniques de photographie à distance pour capturer des images de manière précise et discrète. Ces photographes sont souvent équipés de matériel sophistiqué, comme des objectifs à longue portée, qui leur permettent de prendre des photos nettes de sujets éloignés sans attirer l'attention. Ils travaillent généralement dans des environnements où la discrétion est essentielle, comme lors d'événements privés ou lorsque leur présence pourrait déranger le sujet. Ils adoptent une approche méthodique et cherchent à capturer le moment parfait sans perturber la scène …

 

------------------

 

À l'inverse, les PAPARAZZI sont des photographes spécialisés dans la capture d'images de célébrités dans leur vie quotidienne. Leur approche est souvent intrusive, à la recherche de clichés sensationnels à vendre aux médias. Les paparazzi utilisent également un équipement sophistiqué, mais leur objectif principal est de capturer des moments privés ou embarrassants, ce qui soulève des questions éthiques quant à la vie privée des personnes photographiées. Ils sont souvent perçus comme des intrus qui exploitent la célébrité de leurs sujets à des fins lucratives …

  

°°°°°°°°°°°°°

  

The term 'PHOTOGRAPHIC SNIPER' REFERS to a photographer who uses remote photography techniques to capture images accurately and discreetly. These photographers are often equipped with sophisticated equipment, such as long-range lenses, which enable them to take sharp pictures of distant subjects without attracting attention. They tend to work in environments where discretion is essential, such as private events or situations where their presence might disturb the subject. Their approach is often methodical, seeking to capture the perfect moment without disturbing the scene...

 

------------------

 

In contrast, PAPARAZZI are photographers who specialise in capturing images of celebrities in their everyday lives. Their approach is often intrusive, seeking sensational shots that can be sold to the media. Paparazzi also use sophisticated equipment, but their main aim is to capture private or embarrassing moments, raising ethical questions about the privacy of the people they photograph. They are often perceived as intruders who seek to exploit the celebrity of their subjects for profit...

From yesterday morning, a Coyote uses the tried-and-true pouncing technique, hoping to surprise a vole or mouse under the snow. This is a substantial crop, aided by some upscaling via ON1 Resize.

 

As I had hoped, the mild weather has brought out the wildlife. In a three hour drive with many stops I saw three or four coyotes, countless prairie dogs & sharp-tailed grouse, dozens of bison & mule deer, one white-tailed deer, a few magpies, a couple of ravens... the usual suspects.

 

Always a pleasure to watch them going about the daily business of surviving duringthe lean season.

I continue to have fun temporarily with pieces from the PaB without my stock pieces. Of them little can be done but when there's only a plastic Cup... The desire to build immediately increased. Can the pressure is gone and the duty to do something unimaginable without giving the abyss pieces. Oh well - soon I finish moving and will be content better :-)

After some nights spent to learn and practice new imaging techniques, I propose a version of my first attempt to Andromeda Galaxy, less harsh, more realistic and detailed and (I hope) nicer to see.

Technique offer us new possiblities for experimenting. I believe curiosity is present in all human beings. An internal force moves skaters to experiment things that the rest of us, we can not dream of .In my case I enjoied exploring what could result from the use of different edition programs together, "eh voilà" the outcome!

Vue sur le Mont Bégo (2872 m alt.) depuis le second des deux lacs jumeaux près de la voie sacrée dans le Val de Fontanalba. Le refuge appartient au Parc National du Mercantour et son usage est réservé au personnel du Parc. Il y a un autre refuge ouvert aux randonneurs. Ce site (connu sous le terme de "voie sacrée") est réputé pour ses gravures rupestres datant de l'âge du bronze et dont la datation exacte est controversée. Beaucoup d'archéologues pensent qu'il s'agit du bronze ancien (2500 à 3000 ans avant J.C.)

It was built at the end of 19th Century by master-builders Pyrch Mykhailo Mykhailovych and Pyrch Fedir Mykhailovych and re-built in 1946. After Prykarpattia’s joining to the Soviet Ukraine, the mill became the property of a local collective farm. It was used for its intended purpose. In 1960th, after a water flood it didn’t function till 1970th, when transferred to the Museum. The mill stayed on a bank of a torrent, flowing out of Shypit water flow.

The building has a double-room log construction. It consists of a “shack” to shelter the visiting farmers and a mill itself with mechanism. It has two waterwheels and two pairs of stones – grinding plates.

The flouring mill is built of smereka wood. Its high roof is covered by combination of straw and wood. It is the only showpiece of the museum with such combination of roofing techniques.

To grind corn, water should be forwarded to the walls. For this purpose, the stream has been dammed up by smereka timbers. Water taken from the torrent passed by hollowed-up logs to the upper wheels; they turned the axles with wheels – gears, and they tuned a shaft and the upper stone. Grains had to be loaded into a hopper fixed above, and flour fell into a through, fixed under the lower stone.

Total area of the building is 62.7 square meters.

 

Млин із села Пилипець, Міжгірського району, Закарпатської області.

 

Збудований наприкінці ХІХ ст. Майстри-будівничі - Пирч Михайло Михайлович і Пирч Федір Михайлович. В 1946 році його перебудували. Після приєднання Закарпаття до радянської України млин став власністю колгоспу, використовувався за призначенням. В 1960-х роках після повені млин не функціонував до 1970-х років, коли його перевезли до Музею. Млин стояв на березі стрімкого потоку, що витікає з водопаду Шипіт.

Споруда має двокамерну зрубну конструкцію і складається з «хижі» - приміщення, де жили і відпочивали приїжджі селяни, і млина з механізмом. Він має два водяних колеса і дві пари каменів – жорен.

Млин збудований із смерекового дерева. Високий дах комбінований, покритий соломою і деревом. В музеї це єдиний експонат, де поєднано різні матеріали та покрівельні техніки.

Щоб перемолоти збіжжя, треба було спрямувати воду на колеса. Для цього потік перегороджувався гаттю із смерекових колод. Воду з потоку подавали довбаними колодами до верхніх коліс, які обертали вали із закріпленими на них колесами – шестернями, а вони обертали веретено і верхній камінь. Зерно засипали в кіш, що кріпиться зверху, а борошно сиплеться в корито, яке закріплене внизу нижнього каменю.

Загальна площа споруди – 62,7 кв.м.

A facade technique for corners. The important part is this, which may be hard to source. The offset is a half-plate on each side of the dark bley block. I would love to see a solution that is solid and only uses in-production parts.

Thanks to everyone that views and comments on my images - very much appreciated.

Fire breathing is the act of creating a plume of fire by breathing a stream of fuel over an open flame. It can be a dangerous activity but the proper technique and the correct fuel reduces the risk of injury. Fire breathing is performed by both professionals and non-professionals. Professional fire breathers usually incorporate the fire performance skill within a show where other fire skills are performed. The element of danger in performing fire breathing and other fire skills enhances the entertainment spectacle for many audience members

Excerpt from english.cha.go.kr/html/HtmlPage.do?pg=/royal/RoyalPalaces...:

 

If one passes the garden at the rear of the Juhamnu Pavilion and walks down along the slope of the hill leading into the stairway, the person can find a square pond on the opposite side and a pavilion on the north bank of the pond. This is the Aeryeonjeong, which is composed of only 1 kan. Looking out of the windows of the pavilion, one can enjoy a wonderful view. It looks like just a framed picture, owing to the decorations attached to the upper part of the pillars. Of course, the mood of the picture depends on the season. In particular, the stone structure, through which water comes into the pond, is opposite excellent in beauty and technique of design.

Paper Crafting Technique of Lanterns for Newborn Sons

 

Many traditional villages in the New Territories hold a Lantern Lighting Ceremony 點燈習俗. The Cantonese words “Dang” 燈 and “Ding” 丁 are homophones. Lanterns for newborn sons are hung in ancestral halls or worship venues during a period from the first to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month every year to inform the ancestors of the new births. At the same time, they convey the meaning of continuing to “give birth to a baby boy” next year. In some walled villages, a note with the name of the baby boy and auspicious objects are attached under the lantern. The Lantern Lighting Ceremony includes lantern lighting, lantern celebrations, lantern dousing and lantern burning. The lantern displayed in the exhibition is in the shape of an octagonal base and is made of bamboo strips, tissue paper, coloured paper, paper decorations featuring auspicious motifs.

Paper Crafting Technique of Lion Heads

 

Lion head paper crafting has a long history in Hong Kong. The birthday celebrations held for deities in villages are usually accompanied by dancing lions or other auspicious animals. They worshipped at shrines and temples to report to the deities, and hence lion head paper crafting emerged. The lion head costume comes in Foshan 佛山裝, Heshan 鶴山裝 and “Fo-He” 佛鶴裝 styles. Some craftmen depict the lion heads in different colours to resemble historical figures from the Three Kingdoms such as Liu Bei 劉備 (yellow face with multicoloured patterns and a white beard), Guan Yu 關羽 (red face with a black beard), Zhang Fei 張飛 (black-and-white face, green nose with a black beard), Zhao Yun 起趙雲 (green face with a black beard), Huang Zhong 黃忠 (with yellow as the main tone). Lion head paper crafting comprises four processes, namely crafting the frame, mounting the paper, colouring and decorating 紮作,撲紙,寫色,裝上裝飾配件。

My technique is alway the same:

Three exposures -2EV, 0, +2EV and then temperature adjustement using Lightroom and layering with luminosity mask using photoshop. Removal of distracting stuff with the stamp tool or patch tool. High pass filter to enhance details. Then saturation, contrast selectively control, dodge and burn where need...

DRI stand for Dynamic Range Increase. Three RAW files are used to achieve this. Rather than using a software like Photomatix for instance, I simply use mask to blend, my own way, the light, dark and normal shot with Photoshop and Lightroom.. To me, It looks more natural than the usual HDR treatment that I would normally applied.

Ma technique est toujours la même:

Trois prises de vue -2EV, 0, +2EV. Ensuite ajustement de la température de couleur avec Lightroom et usage de calques et masques de luminosités avec Photoshop. Retrait d'éléments de distraction avec l'outil tampon. Filtre High pass pour le rehaussement des détails. Ensuite saturation et contraste ajustés de façon sélectives et locales. Dodge and burn là où requis...

DRI vient de l'anglais Dynmic Range Increase, qui pourrait se traduire par étendue dynamique améliorée. Les même 3 fichiers RAW entrent dans la composition d'un DRI. Plutôt que de se servir d'un logiciel comme Photomatix qui fait tout le travail, je me sers plutôt de masques pour filtrer l'éclairage dans photoshop et Lightroom. De mon point de vue, cette façon de faire donne une image plus naturel que le traitement HDR que j'employais auparavant.

Intha Lake fishermen, renowned for their distinctive technique, navigate the waterways with a remarkable leg-rowing style. Perched at the stern of their slender wooden boats, these skilled fishermen balance on one leg while the other is wrapped around the oar. With a synchronized motion, they propel the boat forward, their arms free to manage the intricacies of the conical nets. This unique technique, evolved over generations, allows them to navigate the lake's shallow waters, where reeds and floating gardens abound. Their dexterity extends to the handling of the conical nets, an artful craft passed down through ancestral knowledge. With precision and grace, they manipulate these nets using a circular motion, skillfully casting them into the water to ensnare the abundant fish that thrive in Inle Lake's rich ecosystem. The harmony between their rowing and net handling embodies a tradition that not only sustains their livelihood but also stands as a testament to their cultural heritage and intimate relationship with the lake.
