China glass bridge has cracks (update) 1
About two weeks or so I posted an article about a bridge in China made of glass (https://goo.gl/rtiShZ)
Apparently there are cracks now that happened… That's not a comforting noise to hear walking on glass.
Cracks appear on China’s new Yuntaishan glass walkway – CNN.com
Two weeks after the opening, China’s Yuntaishan cliffside glass passage is temporarily shut as lines appear on a pane’s surface.
Sneak Peak on my composite with Kizuna
First I have to say it's been a long journey working on this shot. I lost two month's worth work due to misreading the usage rights on a stock photo. But at least I caught it when I went back to double check.
I'm working on a pretty ambitious personal composite. The prior ones were a build up. Twilight Dancer (https://goo.gl/photos/MJ1RacLCg2h3tVcV9) was close but working on it I was still a bit unsatisfied. So when I got Kizuna I had a shot in mind but need to revamp the photo to a new environment more or less.
I think I'm at the point where the background (the untouched is in the album here) is worked on enough I can move onto getting Kizuna started on a photoshoot so I can integrate her into the background.
I'm hoping to get this out by the faceless Figure Friday challenge.
Utilizing LightRoom's Curves 10
Reading +Chang Su post (https://goo.gl/fUHj3G) on his Menma photo with flowers. I would recommend looking at LightRoom's Tone Curve. It's a pretty powerful setting.
TL:DR – look at the screenshot for the settings I used in LR
Lightroom does nondestructive changes (no physical changes to the original photo) ^_^
Chang has a great shot, the elements are there but I personally felt there could be more depth. I did a standard preset for the "punch" which added the Clarity to 20 and vibrancy a bit to 7 for the colors.
Next I took a look at the histogram and you can see a big bulk of the peak is group together. I set the curve (near the top right) whites near the highest peak. This brighten the image and did a slight curve to the darks (curve near the bottom left). This adds a bit more contrast, then I adjusted the sliders to take away some blowouts.
Anime Fall 2015 – Comet Lucifer 1
Watched a bit of Comet Lucifer and all the while watching this, I can't help but be reminded of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.
The Star ornament in one of the heroine's hair reminds me of Yoko. The protagonist with googles, a pet mascot, digging underground (for rare crystals) reminds me of Simone. Also the scenes with the color pastel swatches reminds me of Nia Teppelin.
Since this is done by 8Bit studios from my understanding (someone correct me if I'm wrong). But I'm just reminded a lot of Lagaan.
