Picture Thread 2015

No, actually, he doesn't. The laser-pointer itself makes no "beam," just a spot. The only way of making a beam appear is some reflective matter: smoke or steam. The picture before compositing doesn't give clues. Nice work however it was done.

I did omit that bit - the laser pointer is locked down on a tripod. The camera was on automatic and did a loooong exposure. While the shutter was open, I turned a can of computer spray-air upside-down and sprayed the propellant (or whatever that cold white gas is) into the beam.

Nice! What I call "postcard pretty".

Again with the yard deer. Nice to see she's teaching the babies to pose dramatically.

The bottom pic is classic! It's like you took the pair to a photo studio and had them posing - wow.

That's Bambi and his mother, just before the hunter arrives.

Well with my success rate that's Bambi and his mother just after I arrive, and before they depart in a fit of deer laughter.

Who needs a house out in Hackensack? Is that all you get for your money?

groan..............

My friends and I saw that movie first run in a theater in Paramus, NJ, about a mile west of Hackensack. Half the audience was from Hackensack. That scene went over real big.

The doe spent Thursday afternoon exploring the nooks and crannies of my back yard - and eating it - while I sat on the porch reading.

Jeebus. Next thing you know she'll be knocking on the door looking for handouts.

Well, Here she is waiting for the neighbors to put out food for her by their fence:

That's about the closest thing to a domesticated deer I've ever seen. They have cattle out west that won't get that close to humans.

I saw a vid on facebook where a family has deer that come up to their picnic table to get fed!

NJ suburban deer, waiting for traffic...

An inexplicable lack of yard deer has reduced me to bunny shots.

The creeper creeps...

Your wife has fantastic genes.

Are they half off?

They have calf-length legs!

Me and a coupla buds decided to make a western circa 1986ish. Got a couple of scenes on video. Took some fun photos. Never finished it.
The sepiatone memories remain...

Yes I have been experiencing a lot of this too lately. Sometimes only a distance of a few miles makes a big difference. Afternoons/evenings are a bitch! I like winter rains - either it rains over a big area (like half the state) all day long or it doesn't. It's easier to plan around that.

This is an older model I painted at least a decade ago, but I decided I needed some good hi res photos to update my website with. I don't do many figure models, and I don't think I'm very good with flesh tones and faces. But I'm pretty happy with the way this one came out.

Damn Forbin! That's the last time I send you a pic of my honeymoon so you can artistically render it into art. I'm nowhere near that scrawny looking - and my wife is left handed thank you very much!
