Borderlands

Went over to my brothers and played Borderlands. Well we yacked a lot first then got friends into it. Wanted to play four player but you can only do that online.. oh well. I had forgotten how nuts it is to navigate around the screen when your screen is cut in half. Always having to swivel you look around to get the picture. It was interesting if not a little nauseating.No.. its just that I get very woozy when I am concentrating on the screen and all peripheral stuff fades. One of the reasons I stopped playing the games a while ago. No time but also too sickening after an hour. I would like to play the game with four people over the net sometime though.

I spent some time this morning going over the focus black and white colorizations.. I found some that were interesting to do. I did a few quickies and they turned out good. I have to go back and clean them up.

Here...look...


Runaway Neon.

 Selecting just a limited area to illuminate is very difficult.


Peaks of Blue.

 Removed the distracting blinds behind.


Crystal Lights.

A nice distracting shot.

 Beeps.

 Up and over. Neon was very dirty.


Beam me up.

 Scotty dog was deluged in red lights from behind it. I was able to pull out just the blue.


What Da Ya Need?

This is a set of four shots imposed on each other to get all the working lit signs all together. They only go on one at a time and the second one down was not working at all. 

This last one is a favorite but I have to redo it as I screwed up the edging a bit. This size is good but I can tell.. and it wouldnt do for a blown up version at all.

Nice.... and every dang weed on the left side again... yeesh!


I have a thought on this type shot and I am going to pursue it right after I post this...

Here are some links.  They were all that was worth the space today.

Yes.. so secure!

If I went to the expense of putting solar cells on my roof the would ahve trackers to follow the sun. Why not. Its such a little more money.
