Another talent I picked up from working Ren Faires. I always had raw talent (it's still raw), then I got very friendly with an artist/vendor that used to sell fantasy art at faires all over the east coast. I picked up some technique regarding perspective and shading from him.Quote from: "Renee"

Thank you but I'm not being modest. My talent is very minor compared to the stuff I've seen others do. In fact your shading technique and figure work is better than mine.

They are good, asal. I've always been a little envious of people who can work in pen without screwing up so badly that the drawing can't be salvaged. And I think they are even better given that you do them live.

These are from Sun Yat Sen garden in Vancouver, B.C., Canada (emphasis for spectre) Chinatown in 2012.:

I look forward to seeing pics from there and other parts of the world. You have a good "eye" for creating interesting images. A little technical skill and you'll be taking great shots!! And frankly, its not THAT hard. The art is in the eye, not the hand.

It's strange for me because it's a kitchen built for staff - not for individuals. The smells must be amazing!!! Roasting over fire!!! And the smoke must be tough to deal with. The colour of the walls is just so beautiful, particularly behind the copper.Quote from: "asal"
The cooking areas are extremely well ventilated, although that's not clear from the picture. The wall behind the stove is actually a very large chimney.
But at full roar, preparing for a banquet for example, it would have been an amazingly bustling, hustling place.

Our youngest loves the color pink.
So when we were in the shops today and found some other color besides pink for a sorely needed new pair of sneakers, she went for the cheapest which ironically were pink in color. I know I shouldn't complain. Cheap is good, is it not?
The purple ones had her favorite Disney movie characters on them (Frozen), but it didn't matter one bit. She "needed" the pink shoes instead of simply "wanting" them. As you may well understand now, she's got a pigheaded streak for the color pink (which we've done everything in our power to alter, to no avail). Dad and myself have never wanted an experimental trial in raising a pink girlie princess but we're at the point of giving up while quietly nodding and smiling at one another. The Cosmos has played a sneaky little trick on us and it's well played.
(We don't generally post photos of our children online but decided the shoes and smile needed to be seen together. That's why the rest is gone.)

Probably they just looked like they were looking for food because I doubt deer eat what we humans eat. These are mostly what they eat: acorns, clover, alfalfa, corn, winter wheat, oats, soybeans, peas, sweat potatoes, and apples. That's all I can think of though.Quote from: "Azhya Aryola"
The camp site we were at had alot of dry corn and sunflower seeds all over the place, im guessing the seeds were for the squirrels.

She ran down the hall
Passing the empty rooms
Once full of life and sound
Old pictures hung on dust
As her heart remembered
The feel of wood worn down
She could hear him sleeping
She could hear him typing
She could hear him coughing
She could hear the silence of her breath
Meeting the thick air of neglect
With a cold and distant handshake
As she ran past their doors
To the mirror at the end of the hall
She stared at her dirty face

In a ballroom made of glass
Where creepy things licked at the windows
And an angel showed us her ass
An older man sat rambling
A drunk cussed out their name
A baby cried for his mommy
Who was going insane
The man girl had gone missing
Their time was all through
But in the fray of the chaos
We gave birth to The Blue

I care a lot about my dog.
We used to go for long walks, but we had to cut back more and more since last summer.
She's looking pretty good today, I just get to enjoy a lot of diarrhea.

You have savored agony like this
No heart is King that enjoys endless bliss
Stay strong and light
A brand new day comes with the morning light...
Smile even as you ache
Have a laugh, for your sake
Joy will return
Like the tide on the shore
It ebbs and flows...
Ebbs and flows

Then end up dropping the glove
At first they declare complete bliss and ecstasy
Then end up in bitter rivalry
At the start they call each other cute
In the end, there is nothing said that the other won't refute
They hope to live happily ever after
But turn into each other's blaster
Is this the fate of all who vow an oath of love
To become whom the other is sick of
Is it more rewarding to be happy alone
Than to live with the wretched known
It seems predictable as it happens to most
Maybe sticking it out is nothing to boast

he got grumpy when he got old
really picky about cheese
great grandma was hilarious
shrinking in height, she couldn't reach the cookies
I know they truly loved each other
from the way that they played
they complimented each other
well matched. Comforting, lovely and staid.

There she was just sitting there
Upon the stone out in the square
The sun shone brightly off her hair
While Eros stood in point and stare
A silver crown wrapped 'round his head
He had aged but far from dead
To the fountain heart was led
"She showed up," he stopped and said
She heard his voice amoung the crowd
As if he'd spoken out so loud
And found him looking very proud
In the moment fate allowed
She ran to him and grabbed his face
He held her close in warm embrace
They lost their grip on time and space

What Fate AllowedQuote from: "RW"
There she was just sitting there
Upon the stone out in the square
The sun shone brightly off her hair
While Eros stood in point and stare
A silver crown wrapped 'round his head
He had aged but far from dead
To the fountain his heart was led
"She showed up," he stopped and said
She heard his voice amoung the crowd
As if he'd spoken out so loud
And found him looking very proud
In the moment fate allowed
She ran to him and grabbed his face
He held her close in warm embrace
They lost their grip on time and space
And faded black without a trace
Like so much that remains unseen
This soulful meet was just a dream
What never was has never been
And this is why true love is mean

Nice shots!!! These modern "point and click" cameras are a marvel. The quality of their images surpasses many an old SLR.Quote from: "SPECTRE"
I agree, I quite like my Cannon; I've had it about 7 years now and like my previous S2is, it goes everywhere with me. For casual shooting it does "almost" everything that my Nikon DSLR will do and it takes pics that are every bit as good as my dad's old Pentax SLR. Unfortunately it's getting a little dated and I'm thinking of trading up to the SX520.
Plus it has a 20x lens, face recognition, auto and manual settings, movie capability and best of all, it actually feels and looks like a substantial camera which is something I prefer. I'm not a big fan of really compact cameras. IMHO the only selling feature they have is their compactness. Nowadays, if you are going to use a compact camera you might just as well use your phone which is whole separate subject/issue that I have. I don't want to sound like a photography snob but people with their phones, snapping pics everywhere, annoy the shit out of me, especially when they step in my way. I can't even begin to tell you how many shots I've had ruined by ignorant people with their God damn phones.

1. always have your camera with you; opportunities to take shots happen at all times and usually not when planned.
2. frame your subject in the middle of the screen and make it as large as you can. don't get fancy, just make your subject as easy for the viewer of your photo to see as you can.
3. take MANY shots of your subject. having lots of photos to choose from can be a blessing. and it's often the UNEXPECTED PHOTO that is the best one for the project.
4. take shots of your subject with and without the flash. often your camera will decide that the automatic flash isn't required. thus, if your camera permits, use the forced flash on your subject. this way you can choose between both and often things look better with the added light.
5. don't be shy about taking pictures. with everyone now having a camera on their phone, taking pictures is very much the norm. even if you feel a little uncomfortable about taking a picture in a public location take the photo anyway.
6. if you have the software, don't be afraid to crank up the brightness, the saturation and the contrast in your photos. these settings can REALLY HELP make your pictures stand out. as well, shots that you might think are too dark to use can be made near-perfect by increasing the brightness.
... well, those are a few pointers i've been able to think of ...

Artists have always used The Rule Of Thirds. My digital SLR even has a "Thirds" grid that it superimposes on the viewfinder so you can line up the subject on a third.
Centering the subject is not always best. Putting it on a third rather than "half" (centre) makes for a more interesting image with greater depth.
But, in the case of portraits, the subject is often centred, but the EYES are on the third.
Examine the Mona Lisa...
You will see that Da Vinci has placed the mountain and sky delineation about one third of the way down from the top of the picture, the same level as that famous smile. Her dress is on the bottom third with the lower reach of the river. Look at what he places a third of the way from the top and two thirds from the top. It is classic composition. Great pieces of art and photography use the rule of thirds to enhance their composition and make the image more interesting. Whilst it is not always easy to place a feature in a third (action, sports, wildlife) the photographer often crops the image to put a feature on a third.
This should help.

Any piece of art will give you the notion. Even the Mona Lisa.Quote from: "SPECTRE"
Artists have always used The Rule Of Thirds. My digital SLR even has a "Thirds" grid that it superimposes on the viewfinder so you can line up the subject on a third.
Centering the subject is not always best. Putting it on a third rather than "half" (centre) makes for a more interesting image with greater depth.
But, in the case of portraits, the subject is often centred, but the EYES are on the third.
Examine the Mona Lisa...(//%3C/s%3E%3CURL%20url=%22http://www.paulgallery.sk/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Mona-Lisa.jpg%22%3E%3CLINK_TEXT%20text=%22http://www.paulgallery.sk/wp-content/up%20...%20a-Lisa.jpg%22%3Ehttp://www.paulgallery.sk/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Mona-Lisa.jpg%3C/LINK_TEXT%3E%3C/URL%3E%3Ce%3E)
You will see that Da Vinci has placed the mountain and sky delineation about one third of the way down from the top of the picture, the same level as that famous smile. Her dress is on the bottom third with the lower reach of the river. Look at what he places a third of the way from the top and two thirds from the top. It is classic composition. Great pieces of art and photography use the rule of thirds to enhance their composition and make the image more interesting. Whilst it is not always easy to place a feature in a third (action, sports, wildlife) the photographer often crops the image to put a feature on a third.
This should help.//https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_thirds

It is not the filling of the frame that is important...it is putting features and highlights on a third that makes the image more appealing to the eye...
This is the original picture I took
This is edited to put the bird on a third...

I like enhancements and edits that don't look unnatural like a purple sky. I think edits should look like they weren't touched by a human hand after the fact.

I have this argument with my husband all the time. The idea of altering photos IMHO should be to get things to match what the eye sees as closely as possible. I don't believe for one second the sky was a pale violet the day you took that picture.
I don't like it when things are altered to be unrealistic when they should be altered to be more realistic.

So you aren't capturing something in its actual form?Quote from: "RW"
You are capturing a true form but color can vary slightly. Just using a different camera can change an image's color. For example Canon digital cameras have a tendency of giving a warmer image while Nikon cameras a cooler image. The same goes for different manufacturers of 35mm film. The color can and does vary somewhat even if it is unintended.

Not always....everything has different forms if you bother to look.Quote from: "SPECTRE"
Let's have you make a concerted effort to not talk down to me, mmmkay.
Different forms or not, photography is generally designed to capture something tangible. It's not like a painting or drawing where you can invent a subject. In that, the subject will have an actual colour that will be captured by the camera. Due to colour limitations of cameras, sometimes images have to be adjusted to display what was actually seen by the photographer and that would reflect some form of reality like the sky was a much more vibrant blue than what was shown in the image. In my personal opinion, the best way to ruin a photo is to play with light and colour adjustments until the image looks unrealistic - like the sky is a lilac purple colour.
The exception to this would be if you are intentionally trying to art it up and aren't going for realism. At that point, go to town on the image. Let the viewer see your mad photoshop or lightbox skills. Commit to your artistic vision and go to town!

Photography is not always just about capturing realism. By playing with or by experimenting with a subject from lens to final image, an ordinarily subject can be transformed into something extraordinary. If we just took pictures simply to convey stark reality, photography would be a very boring medium.
Almost all of the the most famous photographs ever taken have been augmented in some way, wether it be cropping, color enhancements or color removal, focal point and angle.

Photography like any art form should evoke an emotion regardless of how you convey the image. This is most often done with light, color, focus and angle.Quote from: "Renee"

I understand all of the above. What I'm suggesting is sometimes after effects detract from the image when they are done improperly. In the case of Spec's example, all I think is "some noob photoshopped the sky light purple". Is that the intended emotion? I doubt it.
I have seen so many photos ruined at the hands of Photoshop due to over the top edits. I think one should be careful when correcting images that are intended to convey a level of realism.

It does for me. It enables me to keep things in scale a little better.
If you look at the previous drawing with the women of different heights and physical builds, it would have been a bitch if I didn't have something to gauge it with.

Well appeal or not, at your age I suppose you should be happy just to be breathing.
As for "scrawls", if you had half my talent (little as it is) you wouldn't need to steal my work. So watch your mouth old man. And what makes you think I need or want your help in getting exposure for my drawings? What I do, I do for my own satisfaction. So don't act like you are doing me some kind of backhanded favor.
If the subject matter of my work is something that keeps you from commenting like an adult then try to control your juvenile outbursts and move on. If you can't, well then I guess you have my sympathies on the the death of your common courtesy and maturity.
BTW, I know you well enough by your bratty comments and tantrum throwing antics to make enough of a judgement call about your level of maturity. To make things easier, you're a "guy" and mysterious or complicated your species ain't.

Title: Hot Dog Hell
Post by: RW on February 26, 2016, 07:56:17 PM
Post by: RW on February 26, 2016, 07:56:17 PM
I used to love hotdogs. They were everything that was right in the world. They were a blast back to childhood fun and merriment, memories of times when life was simple and carefree. Even after discovering they were made from all the parts of animals normal life had no use for all tucked neatly in a sheep's intestine, I ate them anyway. When you love something, you accept it for what it is and don't let a few unpleasant details get in the way of enjoying it.
When I started high school at the tender age of thirteen, I was introduced to the wickedness of food. I'm not just talking about the fat or calorie content of such tasty things. Everyone wishes they could eat chips, cookies, candy bars and bacon and not have it attach to their hips like a pair of fifteen pound screaming babies. I'm talking about the prime evil side of food. For me, the food I loved became the weapon of choice in the hands of teenage cruelty. Yes, an innocent hot dog – the hero of the backyard barbeque, the hit of the childhood birthday party, the home run delight of the ball park – became the bane of my existence. You see, I was pegged as the girl who had sex with a wiener.
All it took to gain that label was a falling out with the wrong girl over something as simple as a smile from the wrong boy and next thing I knew, I was a pubescent pariah. Whispers and giggles exploded down the school hallways, coupons were taped to my locker and wieners thrown at my head while walking between classes. Even sporting a six inch long red mark on my bruised pride, I managed to break a slight smile knowing they likely paid full price for that package of franks as their discount was sitting in my locker under my anatomy textbook.
I had always wanted to be popular, I just had no idea I could be propelled to notoriety through food. No matter where I went the hotdog would follow me. Bathroom walls were scrawled with versions of my supposed story. Tales of broken wieners and visits to the doctor spread like an unattended campfire. I was branded "Oscar" of the Mayer variety. I even had to fight Justine McMillian in 9th grade because her friends dared to her beat up the sausage slut. I'd meet people from two towns over and watch their eyes flash recognition upon hearing my name. I knew right away how they'd heard of me. Some would be so bold as to say, "Hey! You're the girl that..." They'd trail off as I quickly offered an acknowledgement and a correction in the same breath. Not a day would go by where I didn't hear about a hotdog.
Sure, we all don't like certain foods like brussel sprouts or liver, but I HATED hotdogs. The mere smell of them would make my stomach turn and my face redden in embarrassment. They were like a bad boyfriend with a sordid past that I didn't know anything about until it was too late. I was trapped in their evil clutches and there was no way they were letting go even though I had clearly fallen out of love.
I weathered my high school years as best I could in the face of food fame. My friends wrapped themselves around me like a warm bun and deflected a lot of the names with their special brand of Dijon wit. Each one abandoned their love of foot-longs and smokies because of the pain those bite sized bolognas had caused me. They'd seek out other meaty martyrs for me to talk to, other "Frank Skanks" who were branded with the hot grill marks of rancid rumor. There were Sandys and Sarahs, Lizas and Delilahs, Cathys and Karens. All of us victims of Mr. Tube Steak. All of us with friends who had become closer in our doggy deflection.
Once high school was over and I was away from the bustle of the proverbial hotdog cart, perspective finally peeked over the horizon. I looked back on my hike through hotdog hell and found strength, endurance in the amazing people who would forgo any links to lessen my load. For the first time in almost a decade, I found hotdogs brought me closer to my friends and that old affection boiled up inside of me. Those tasty tubes of torture were a test of my friendships and my own fortitude. I had climbed hotdog hill and lived to tell about it.
To celebrate my freedom from the Frankenfurter, I went to the ball park and ordered myself a red hot. I sat alone in the bleachers just staring at the hotdog in my hand. It looked like the same hotdog that greeted the special occasions of my youth. It was no longer roasted by the fires of hell's inferno. For the first time in my life, I enjoyed a hotdog with relish.

That's a relief. I thought you might have come unglued and decided to over-share.
Because if it was a real adolescent memory, I was going to ask you if you were going to enjoy being called "the hotdog ho" by all the trolls?
As for the story it's well written, it evokes all the feelings of adolescent pain many of us have and have worked hard to forget. On the other hand the situation is rather cliché and a little stale.
Just my take on it.

Even in the middle of the day, it was dark and menacing. Moreso, when you're white, dressed sharply and as out of place as Fashionista at a Wicca gathering.
I looked for a kindly face, which in these parts meant a face that didn't look like it heralded your immediate violent and bloody death. An old Chinese woman sweeping the footpath in front of the "Red Dragon" restaurant looked like the least likely to pull out a blade and start slashing as I approached. A fleeting thought crossed my mind as I walked up to her...why does every Chinatown in every city of the world have a restaurant called the "Red Dragon"? A Chinese version of KFC perhaps, without the herbs and spices. Or smiling caricature.
The old woman continued sweeping and looking downwards, even as I stood a foot in front of her and the footpath was now clean enough to sleep on...a fate I hoped I would avoid.
"Shen Li", I said in a clearly quizzing tone.
The obligatory and expected lack of response followed, her eyes still fixed on the paving and the brush still sweeping in unnecessary arcs.
Optimistically, I took a twenty from my pocket, brandished it under her still downward gaze, and said "I'm looking for Shen Li".
Again, the stoic and quintessential Chinese brush off. This old crone had clearly been approached by westerners on prior occasions.
The twenty returned to my pocket, making way for a fifty, and I repeated the question. At least she looked up and held my gaze, and the brush ceased what I suspected may have been perpetual motion at one point.
Now we're getting somewhere.
The twenty made a reprise appearance and joined the fifty. I moved the notes closer to her hand, still clutching the broom.
She took the cash.
"Shen Li. Where is she?"
"You no look for Shen Li. Shen Li look for YOU" she snapped back.
Another twenty manifested itself in my hand...briefly before transferring into hers with astonishing speed for a woman that looked like she'd survived both world wars.
"Why you want Shen Li?" she asked, just as sharply.
"I have a business deal to put to her"
A ten. That made the payout a neat hundred, which amazingly is the standard fee for information no matter where you are in the world. Nothing short of three numbers will get you anywhere, and the drip feed of notes until you reached that amount was just part of the game.
"Inside" she said, accompanied by a nod of her head towards the restaurant behind her. Always a restaurant. Always the "Red Dragon". Always paying off the lightly disguised sentry.
As I approached the door, the crone fired a warning. "Good luck, cookie boy. She in bad mood. You might come back out without balls. She badass".
What else is new, I mused as I opened the door.
And discretely, briefly grabbed my testicles.

Chinatown.Quote from: "Mr Crowley"
Even in the middle of the day, it was dark and menacing. Moreso, when you're white, dressed sharply and as out of place as Fashionista at a Wicca gathering.
I looked for a kindly face, which in these parts meant a face that didn't look like it heralded your immediate violent and bloody death. An old Chinese woman sweeping the footpath in front of the "Red Dragon" restaurant looked like the least likely to pull out a blade and start slashing as I approached. A fleeting thought crossed my mind as I walked up to her...why does every Chinatown in every city of the world have a restaurant called the "Red Dragon"? A Chinese version of KFC perhaps, without the herbs and spices. Or smiling caricature.
The old woman continued sweeping and looking downwards, even as I stood a foot in front of her and the footpath was now clean enough to sleep on...a fate I hoped I would avoid.
"Shen Li", I said in a clearly quizzing tone.
The obligatory and expected lack of response followed, her eyes still fixed on the paving and the brush still sweeping in unnecessary arcs.
Optimistically, I took a twenty from my pocket, brandished it under her still downward gaze, and said "I'm looking for Shen Li".
Again, the stoic and quintessential Chinese brush off. This old crone had clearly been approached by westerners on prior occasions.
The twenty returned to my pocket, making way for a fifty, and I repeated the question. At least she looked up and held my gaze, and the brush ceased what I suspected may have been perpetual motion at one point.
Now we're getting somewhere.
The twenty made a reprise appearance and joined the fifty. I moved the notes closer to her hand, still clutching the broom.
She took the cash.
"Shen Li. Where is she?"
"You no look for Shen Li. Shen Li look for YOU" she snapped back.
Another twenty manifested itself in my hand...briefly before transferring into hers with astonishing speed for a woman that looked like she'd survived both world wars.
"Why you want Shen Li?" she asked, just as sharply.
"I have a business deal to put to her"
A ten. That made the payout a neat hundred, which amazingly is the standard fee for information no matter where you are in the world. Nothing short of three numbers will get you anywhere, and the drip feed of notes until you reached that amount was just part of the game.
"Inside" she said, accompanied by a nod of her head towards the restaurant behind her. Always a restaurant. Always the "Red Dragon". Always paying off the lightly disguised sentry.
As I approached the door, the crone fired a warning. "Good luck, cookie boy. She in bad mood. You might come back out without balls. She badass".
What else is new, I mused as I opened the door.
And discretely, briefly grabbed my testicles.
Ugh, I can't make the understand.

The knife one has been drying for 6 days and it's still tacky to touch. I LOVE working with knives. I also did the first one with knives but it's much thinner.Quote from: "RW"

I misspoke; Kaya turned eight in January. She said if she were doing it she would want some more green in the area to center right where the blues and yellows are bleeding to green. Not too much, not to replace the green that's there already, just a bit to give more punch to the "green" idea. She thinks the green should be darker at the bottom than the top, she likes the logic of that.

She gave me permission to post it mainly because the subject matter is a surrealistic caricature of yours truly. Ha ha ha.....bitch.
Please forgive the perspective as I didn't have access to halfway decent scanner, so I just shot a pic with my phone.
Unlike me, my sis can work in color and is very talented with ink, pastels and water color. Unfortunately like many artistic people she is freaking flighty as hell and never finishes anything.
She also has a terrible habit of overrunning her pad or canvas as you can see. The concept of scale and the ability to count beyond 10 without taking off her shoes, escapes her.
What a ditz.

I know she's good and that's not even really an example of her best work. I can't do what she does. I don't have the patience to work in water color or ink. I'm always in too much of a hurry.
One of these days I'm going kick her in the ass hard enough to get her to go back and finish school and do something with that talent. It annoys me that she is that good and she doesn't do anything with it.

So was Maxime Bernier, Dr Kellie Leitch and Michael Chong who are all seeking the leadership of the federal Conservative party. They are all politicians seeking to curry favor with an influential demographic. Politicians are full of shit.

He's the FIRST Prime Minister to march in a gay pride parade. You want to talk about currying favour, that's fine but he just made history.
Regardless, this is a picture thread and I loved the images.

The end of the electric light bulb? Cool.Quote from: "Twenty Dollars"
Not really.
All light bulbs or light emitting sources that I know of are electrically powered. Some old lamps would run off of oils, or other chemicals, but those days are pretty much done, except for camping lanterns, etc.
While my work truck has some LED's, and my car has some also... Added an LED taillight to my Harley also...
Nonetheless, I have a huge supply of incandescent bulbs that I use in my condo. These are the "old school" electric bulbs with a filament that you are probably thinking of.
I will forever run these in my home, because they simply produce a light that's proven to simply be the most appealing to the eye, even though they consume a lot of energy compared to other lighting solutions.

the stem is straight... it doesn't flare are the base...
Next time you do one, take a closer look at their shape.

^^^^ flowering in my garden at the moment... It's fantastic. I never realized it was going to produce like that. I never knew its name so I researched... It's from the Canary Islands.
This what wiki says of the plant. common name; The pinwheel Plant
Aeonium haworthii (Haworth's aeonium, pinwheel) is a species of succulent plant in the genus Aeonium of the family Crassulaceae. It is native to the Canary Islands, but it has been introduced to other areas of similar climate, such as Southern California. It is a sand-dwelling beach plant, a subshrub with rough, woody stems and rosettes of thick, red-edged green leaves which are triangular or diamond- or spade-shaped. It grows to 60 cm, with panicles of cream-colored pointed flowers produced in spring.[2]
A. haworthii is grown as a houseplant in temperate regions. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[3]

Thank you.
I have a facebook page for my wildlife photography.
It saves me using those hideous upload images or photobucket. I do use them tho from time to time but have been a bit funny about them since imageshack is one site holding my images hostage.... no one can see them unless I pay for it. It might even be deleted as far as I know.
If you like birds and stuff... this is where I post them... tick like if you them... I need 2500 likes and so far I only have 19 so I have a very long way to go...

Yep... The one with the blue sky is just after 6:30 PM...
The ones with the dark background are taken at twilight the next morning.... The morning ones at twilight have been adjusted in a program... hit "darken shadows" 100%... It makes the background darker.
You can really take shot in the middle of the night ... It's just far to contrast... and you no detail... that's the trick... you take the pictures when its light outside. They don't telly you that... you have to find out yourself...lol

This past weekend, we had the Adelaide Motorsport Festival to celebrate the history of motorsport here and throughout Australia. It featured the return of a number of F1 cars and drivers to do some parade laps to remember the golden age of F1 here.

These weight around 650Kg with around 700hp. The Ferraris are from the turbo era, and are closer to 800-900Hp. They are highly complex machines, but compared to todays F1 cars, they are positively primitive.

If you examine the previous posts, you will see that it is inappropriate to flame, or be critical.
If you do not like the subject matter, or the art piece, you have two choices; stay out of the thread, or shut the fuck up.
Your inability to judge when it is appropriate to make a fool of yourself by running your bucket mouth is well known throughout the forums you've infested in the past. My challenge to you here is to act like an adult, speak only when you have something worthwhile to say, and stop screeching for attention every 5 minutes.
Of course, I offer that advice full in the knowledge that you lack the integrity and character quality that would enable you to extend your conduct beyond that of a spoilt ten year old, but we all live in hope.
By all means, offer supportive and constructive comments if it is at all possible from that bent melon you call a head. If you cannot bring yourself to rise above your own fatuity and personality flaws, before committing more of your self deprecating imprudence, may I suggest you simply walk away from the keyboard and go for a long walk.
The longer the better for us all.

Firstly, is it a picture of a caravan or a man. It simply looks like a holiday snap and tells no story.
Secondly, you've photographed in early afternoon and the light is wrong. The caravan is shaded, and the sky is too bright and lacking detail.
Thirdly, you haven't cropped your work and there is a distracting oil or petrol drum in the foreground.
Remember, photography is firstly about the light...then the subject matter.

"The meerkat or suricate (Suricata suricatta) is a small carnivoran belonging to the mongoose family (Herpestidae). It is the only member of the genus Suricata.[2] Meerkats live in all parts of the Kalahari Desert in Botswana, in much of the Namib Desert in Namibia and southwestern Angola, and in South Africa. A group of meerkats is called a "mob", "gang" or "clan". A meerkat clan often contains about 20 meerkats, but some super-families have 50 or more members. In captivity, meerkats have an average life span of 12–14 years, and about half this in the wild."
Although not in the wild in Australia, they adapt to Australian conditions quite comfortably. They are in many zoos and wildlife parks because kids love them, and they are not frightened around humans.

This is Levi, the lion. He lived in our wildlife free range park.
He passed away, recently. He was a magnificent male, but died at a young age for a lion. He was a crowd favourite because he was so striking.

That is not quite true.
Camera's tend to underexpose pure whites. You must compensate for this by opening up the shutter by 1 and half stops, or meter from a grey card using manual operation.
The "Snow" preset just overexposes by 1.5 stops.
Its not actually "blue" but "grey".
