Black and White Photo Overlaid with Color Grid Lines Tricks Your Brain!!!

noreply@blogger.com (dclunie) — Wed, 31 Jul 2019 18:53:00 +0000

This article over at Petapixel shows a technique using a black and white photo with some precisely placed color grid lines into tricking your brain into filling in the remainder of the color. Its a very unique technique and one that is coming to GIMP in the next release. The author/creator of the technique Øyvind Kolås took a creative commons photo and placed a few colored lines over a black and white photo. Your brain sees these colored lines and then tries to fill in the rest of the color space for what you would assume would be the boundaries for that color, e.g. a shirt being blue, a face having a flesh tone, etc... The cool thing is it also work on video! Check out the authors patreon site for that video goodness.

On the way to Dunsmuir @ The Back Forty BBQ

noreply@blogger.com (dclunie) — Sun, 22 Apr 2018 20:15:00 +0000

Another pic from a recent trip to the Dunsmuir/Mt Shasta area. This was along the way, an hour or so outside of San Jose at a BBQ place called The Back Forty, very delicious! I was using my cellphone, a samsung note 8.

Aug 21st 2017 - North American Solar Eclipse Info!!!

noreply@blogger.com (dclunie) — Wed, 16 Aug 2017 17:30:00 +0000

With all the craziness that IS "eclipse madness"(said in Ren's voice from the "space madness" episode of Ren & Stimpy) e.g., overpriced hotels, and other accommodations, not to mention the unscrupulous vendors/people trying to cash in on selling "official" solar viewing glasses which are neither official or safe, two of the channels I follow have put out some great videos on the subject.

Adorama, a photography store/educational channel on youtube and Scott Manley's youtube channel have posted the following videos, one on how to photograph the eclipse, and the other, what occurs if you don't follow the proper safety protocols, the kind of damage you can/will end up with. Also, don't forget to follow and subscribe to each of their channels on youtube.

While I did take these shot in succession in prep for creating a panorama, the above is the "assistant" in google photos offering that they suggest/create automagically to you! Pretty good, I'd say at least for sharing on blog/social media for that instant hit ;) (clicking on them makes em bigger!)

While I did bracket these photos for combining at a later date with photoshop or lightroom for HDR photos, the following is the "assistant" in google photos offering that they suggest/create automagically to you!

Pixelstick! Its HERE!

noreply@blogger.com (dclunie) — Wed, 06 Aug 2014 20:53:00 +0000

Remember this kickstarter awhile back? PIXELSTICK Well I finally just got my pixelstick today! YAY! I'm hoping to find the time to get some cool images up, but it might be just some initial test pics while I learn how to use this thing. It has 8 demo patterns built in too to play around with so you don't need an SD card right off the bat! The whole thing seems pretty solidly constructed and the bag is super nice (only quibble is that i'd like to keep the "spin" handle on and the holder in the bag doesn't account for the size with it on the handle.) Now I'm off to find 8AA batteries!! :D

So What is it Like At Maker Faire? (2013 Edition)

noreply@blogger.com (dclunie) — Tue, 28 May 2013 17:00:00 +0000

Here are some of the few snapshots from Maker Faire 2013, In another post I'll include the video I captured. Click on any to enjoy the full size!

Before you get there you have to watch out for these yahoo's. As well as other traps.

Two of San Mateo's "Finest". They wait for their co-worker directing traffic,

to stop traffic when it gets heavy so people get stuck on those rail road tracks,

which they will gladly site you for, at $500 a pop!

There WILL be lines.

But you can talk with some neat people, This is Pilar who was

sitting next to some equipment and waiting for her friend.

There are usually things on fire!

Along with some cool vehicles!

Of course some "unusual" vehicles too!

(these lobster/fish sang many tunes)

Oh Shit! A Dalek!

(Is exactly what I said when i turned around and saw it!)

These are underwater ROV's swimming.

Some fancy lighting doodads in the "Dark Hall".

Trees of a different sort.

One gorgeous chick! ;)

(no she didn't make me write that!)

The colors!

There is of course the Giraffe! His name is Russell.

Here is the Battlefront Boys from Shawn Thorsson.

As well as Shawn's Warhammer and Halo Armor.

Yes there are robots at Maker Faire!

Also LEGOS!

Possibly an interplanet Janet?

Things to which it would be awesome to climb,

but yet you aren't allowed too, that is, unless you're

bad parents.

Wildlife! (well wild to us city folk! ;) )

Mini cupcake and muffin vehicles!

Don't mind the "human" filling.

Oh NO! The mini-cakes are a LIE!

Some cool dudes with cool gitars, this here is

Shovel Man! He's very cool!

Shovel Man was playing on the pedal power stage!

(you need people to pedal to power everything here!)

Here is a Panorama of the back lot.

(Yes those are indeed what you think they are!)

Here is a Panorama of the Expo Hall.

Here is a Panorama of the Main Food Area.
