"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:
and Lisa A. Romano:

Another Sunset; this time captured off Ghajn Tuffieha limits of St Paul's Bay - Exposure blending technique utilised in post processing.
Thank you for your time to view.
1) Go to a dog park
2) Select a macro subject
3) Get low to the ground, camera to your face
4) Get broadsided by a running 70-pound Great Dane pup as you press the shutter
5) Get licked to death by the same puppy... ;)
I've been meaning to try this technique for ages. Unfortunately the shutter speed needs to be a bit higher, making the iphone picture look slightly blurry.
Yesterday I'm gone in the field and I found in a pond a lot of tadpoles and I thought to take some to breed them and when they become a toads, I will lead them home to leave free!
Obviously, I've taken the opportunity to try some underwater shots with my MP-E... This is my first attempt to this technique.
Handheld stack (16shots) taken with 6D, MP-E, at about 2,5X, flash MK320 over the aquarium.
I think it possible to do it better but for now I hope you like it and I thank you for your visits, faves and comments that are always very appreciated!

Inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, located in the Christian Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem. A black and white Lightroom edit of a previous upload.
The Church is considered extremely holy in Christianity being both the site where Jesus was crucified, and the location of Jesus's tomb.
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.

All the photos I present were taken in the town of Taormina;
I made photos related to "street photography";
I photographed people who, for the most part, I had never met before, performing their portraits, I thank them for their sympathy and availability;
The volcano Etna, in recent days has shown an intense eruptive activity, I photographed that spectacular eruptions from Taormina;
I tried to capture minimal photographic stories, collected walking down the street .. ... in search of fleeting moments ...
For some photographs I used a particular photographic technique at the time of shooting, which in addition to capturing the surrounding space, also "inserted" a temporal dimension, with photos characterized by being moved because the exposure times were deliberately lengthened, they are confused -focused-imprecise-undecided ... the Anglo-Saxon term that encloses this photographic genre with a single word is "blur", these images were thus created during the shooting phase, and not as an effect created subsequently, in retrospect, in the post-production.
………………………………………………………
Tutte le foto che presento sono state realizzate nella cittadina di Taormina;
ho realizzato foto riconducibili alla “street photography”;
ho fotografato persone che, per la maggior parte, non avevo incontrato prima, eseguendo dei loro ritratti, le ringrazio per la loro simpatia e disponibilità;
il vulcano Etna, nei giorni scorsi ha mostrato una intensa attività eruttiva, anche con intensi fenomeni chiamati "fontane di lava", emissioni a getto continuo perdurate intensamente per molti minuti, di altissime "fontane" di magma incandescente, molto spettacolari e non comuni, le fotografie dell'Etna sono state realizzate da Taormina;
ho provato a cogliere storie fotografiche minime, raccolte camminando per la strada ... alla ricerca di attimi fugaci s-fuggenti ...
Ho utilizzato per alcune fotografie una tecnica fotografica particolare al momento dello scatto, che oltre a catturare lo spazio circostante, ha "inserito" anche una dimensione temporale, con foto caratterizzate dall’essere mosse poiché volutamente sono stati allungati i tempi di esposizione, sono confuse-sfocate-imprecise-indecise...il termine anglosassone che racchiude con una sola parola questo genere fotografico è "blur", queste immagini sono state così realizzate in fase di scatto, e non come un effetto creato successivamente, a posteriori, in fase di post-produzione.

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!!

I’ve been wanting to try the Pep Ventosa technique of ‘in the round’ for a few years and have finally been able to do the post processing now that I have a more capable computer. I’m sure most of you are familiar with this artist and technique but for those that aren't… Pep Ventosa, who is originally from Barcelona, Spain created this idea. He's known to play with the perception of reality. This technique is comprised of multiple exposures by moving the camera around a central subject and then combining those exposures as layers in Photoshop. The end result provides an impressionistic looking image.
I used 19 shots for this image and was fun trying something new and relatively easy to post process.
High risk of extinction in the wild (Endangered). Cambodia.
Gibbons are wonderful! They are born light, turn black at the age of two years; later, the females turn light again, and the males remain black! Gibbons live in the crowns of tall trees and move through them at speeds of up to 50 km / h. Guarding their" high-altitude " territory, they sing in very high voices, using the singing technique that Opera singers have been learning for many years!
One of the many Plovers that are found on the coasts of India and are highly confusing to id. This was a lifer for me that morning.
Shot on a sandbank where there were 100's of the endangered Skimmers - -this was flying around and I managed to grab 1-2 shots from a difficult prone position.The area had a huge population of Lesser and Greater Sand Plovers - I am not 100% sure of the exact differences between them except for the size - this is the bigger of the two visibly.
This is a small bird - 20-25 cms and found across the costs of South Asia, Australia, South East Asia where it winters after migrating from Central Asia and parts of Siberia. The birds hunt marine worms, crustaceans, insects using a run and pause technique unlike the steady probing technique shown by other waders. There were 100's of these in the banks along with several other plovers and being small, were hard to get a decent shot from close.
Thank you so much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.

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.
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.

The osprey (Pandion haliaetus) is one of the most fascinating birds of prey, known for its incredible ability to hunt fish. Its distribution is very wide, as it is found on almost every continent except Antarctica. Physical characteristics It is a large bird, with a wingspan of up to 170 cm. Its plumage is unmistakable: the upperparts are dark brown, while the underparts are predominantly white. The head is white with a characteristic dark brown mask that extends from the beak to behind the eyes. The wings are long, angular, and end in black tips. Diet and hunting method As its name suggests, its diet consists almost exclusively of fish, which it catches with a spectacular hunting technique. It flies low over the water, hovers in the air, and once it locates its prey, it dives with its talons forward. Their feet are specially adapted for this task: An opposable outer toe, which allows them to hold the fish with two toes forward and two back. Long, sharp nails. Pads with spicules on the soles of the toes to prevent the slippery fish from escaping. The Osprey in Spain In Spain, the Osprey has experienced a notable historical decline due to direct persecution and habitat destruction. However, in recent decades, the population has begun to recover. Breeding population: It is mainly found in the Canary Islands, the Balearic Islands, and Andalusia. There is also a population in the Chafarinas Islands. Wintering population: We can also find a considerable number of specimens that spend the winter on the Iberian Peninsula, especially in wetlands and coastal areas. Conservation status Although globally it is considered a species of "Least Concern", in some areas such as the Balearic Islands, it is listed as "Vulnerable" and is the subject of specific conservation plans. The main threats it faces are loss of coastal habitat, disturbance of nesting areas, and interaction with other species such as gulls.

photography tip 01: Flip your photo
Flipping your photo horizontally when working on the post processing phase of a photo allows your eye to constantly seek and spot the best framing possible, as well as remove anything that might alter the composition. It's a technique i use a LOT whenever i work on a concept art piece in photoshop too. to the point where i took the habit of flipping my canvas every 40 seconds or so. It's a bit like giving your eyes a fresh start on your image, every several seconds. the best way is to bind a key or create a shortcut in order to have a permanent easy access to the horizontal flip. i actually use the vertical one too!
Having gone back in the archive for some of my early digital images, this morning I decided to pull out a few film shots from even earlier years. Back in the 1980s, Michael Orton of Nanaimo, British Columbia, developed a technique for creating surreal, glowing images using slide film. It became widely known as Orton Imagery.
A quick explanation: you would make two shots of the same scene, (1) out of focus, wide aperture, one stop overexposed; and (2) in focus, your choice of aperture, 2 stops overexposed. Then sandwich the developed slide frames into the same mount and shoot a dupe (or have a lab do that); in later years you could create a scan. This is a scan of a dupe.
These days a similar effect can be obtained in Photoshop. Michael continues to push creative boundaries - from what I can see, he never was interested in making conventional photos.
I didn't come close to achieving the quality of his work, which you can find online via Google search. But I had fun with it. This shot ran as a 2-page spread in a feature article I wrote for Explore magazine in 2000.

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.
In this image I used the long exposure technique. I wanted the viewer to get a sense of the rushing water that these bears stand in for long periods at a time. The problem with long exposure and wildlife photography is that wildlife rarely sits still. I had to time the bears movement just right to get this shot.
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
A view of Bridalvail Fall with the Cathedral Rocks in the background. Taken from Tunnelview in the west end of Yosemite Valley.
Cathedral Rocks and Spires form the eastern side of the canyon through which Bridalveil Creek flows. Some people think these rocks, just opposite of El Capitan, are even more impressive than El Capitan!
There are three main summits to Cathedral Rocks dubbed Higher, Middle, and Lower Cathedral Rocks. Adjacent to Higher Cathedral Rock are the Higher and Lower Cathedral Spires (not visible in ths photo), the most impressive spires in all of Yosemite NP. Higher Cathedral Rock is the highpoint of this group.
These rock features were the scene of some of the first serious rock climbing done in the Sierra during the 1930s. All of the main peaks in and around Yosemite Valley were climbed by the 1870s with the exception of the two Cathedral Spires. It would take over 50 years for equipment and technique improvements before these would also be climbed. The first aid climbing in the Sierra was done in 1933-1934 on Higher Cathedral Spire by a Sierra Club party made up of Jules Eichorn, Bestor Robinson, and Richard Leonard. In their first attempt they ran out of what they had supposed was an ample supply of pitons. With a fresh supply ordered from overseas during the winter, they were successful on their second attempt the following spring. Before the era of Big Wall climbing in the late 1950s, Cathedral Rocks saw a great deal of attention and was used to develop techniques that Robbins, Harding and others would then start to apply to Sentinel Rock, Half Dome's NW Face, El Cap, the Leaning Tower, and other Big Wall routes in Yosemite Valley.
The Regensburg city warehouse was built in 1910. However, its function as a silo warehouse was abandoned at the end of 2018. The city of Regensburg is now planning to transform the now listed warehouse into a creative quarter. A creative authority is working on creating unique spaces for artists. The interior of the warehouse was open to the public as part of the 2024 harbour festival.
Das Stadtlagerhaus Regensburg wurde 1910 erbaut. Seine Funktion als Silospeicher wurde jedoch Ende 2018 aufgegeben. Die Stadt Regensburg plant nun, das mittlerweile denkmalgeschützte Lagerhaus in ein Kreativquartier umzugestalten. Eine Kreativbehörde arbeitet daran, für Künstler einzigartige Räumen zu schaffen. Das Innere des Lagerhauses war im Rahmen des Hafenfestes 2024 zugänglich.

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。
