Fish With Transparent Head Filmed

In France, way back when, with my sister, Audrey, we used to glue our little buns in front of the TV and watch every saturday, with sheer amazement the adventures of “Jacques Yves Cousteau”.

For those who don’t really know the man, he pioneered underwater documentary filming and every kid in France was in admiration before this captain and his crew of men in red beanie hats!

I think that every kid, in France, in the 80’s was a Cousteau fan.

Anyhow, today I saw a video that The Cap would have LOVED to see, but, since it is the very first time this fish is filmed, it would seem that Cousteau never saw this AMAZING fish!

It’s ok to let your jaw drop and be in awe before the wonders of this world!

Enjoy!!!!

Ok, so…. What’s going on here??

Well it’s just a “family Affair”, we contributed to the picture, my little sister, our dad and I, so here is the “break down”

Who: My sister, Audrey, took a picture of our Daddy, Joseph, goofing around with perspectives.

Where: The location is “les falaises d’Etretat” in Normandy, France.

Whut: After photoshoping the picture, I added my hand adding the cards on the picture.

Hope you enjoyed

CLIQUEZ ZE FOTO!! HaHa...JeJe

The Formula to the color green is simple: take some blue, take some yellow, a dab of red or black for extra shades and badabang you got it, green.

Well, if we pay attention to a field or lush trees, and sit there for a while, just watching and letting our eyes absorb what we see and let our brain analyze a bit what it receives, we might be shocked as to the insane variety of green there is on one patch of land!!

Here is picture that is…. Green… It could have been a simple green rectangle, if it wasn’t for allllllllll the shades available.

Green is Green, this is the average shade of the picture below.

CLICK on THE PICTURE!!

How much do we “really” need to be WOWed, to feel filled with satisfaction and plenitude?

How much is required to be in awe and feel overwhelmed?

The main requirement doesn’t come from the outside, but from within, is your mind, is your heart ready, willing and prepared to be stunned by the wonders of this world?

Aren’t these wonderful words such as awe, plenitude, satisfaction, overwhelmed describe emotions that all of us love to bath in?

Truly, it doesn’t take much, if, if you “keep your eye simple” and get it focused.

The more you expect, the more you need, the more it will take to feel a wave of such emotions, therefore, the least you expect and need, the easier it will be to reach such climax!

That’s when we need to focus, to focus on simple things.

Who notices the clouds in the sky?

 Who watches them change shapes as the winds brush them?

Who pauses on the textures?

Who stares puzzled at the variety of ever changing colors the sun shines through them?

Sadly, not many people take the time to.

Focus on a buzzing bee sipping the sweet nectar of a beautiful lavender flower and spy on this hard worker as she collects the precious pollen and bee in awe in front of God’s awe-inspiring creation!

A sunset flaunts its colors everywhere around the world at now!!

“It’s Sunset time somewhere!”

Isn’t that a interesting thought? As the earth spins, the sun is constantly setting somewhere. In the mountains, a forest, a desert, behind an ocean, on fields, a skyline of such and such city, on a country torn by war, on a land of opulence, with pyramids in the foreground or nothing more than a lonesome tree on a worn out hill…

I hope you enjoy this sunset in Normandie.

Yes yes yes, there is some photoshop tweaking on this picture, but really not that much! It really was stunning, I just made sure, the picture did justice to what really happened that evening, knowing that no camera can compete with the eyeballs God gave us!!

Enjoy

As the sun goes down I went WOW!

Nowadays, everyone has a dogital camera! So what?!

Nowadays everyone takes digital snapshots! Some take HUGE digital snapshots because the camera they own shoots 8 Mega Pixels, 10 Mega Pixels even more!!!

Let’s see a simple example of a picture taken with a digital camera an how Photoshop turns that very picture into something more appealing.

-Sharpening

-Saturation of colors

-Hue correction

-Skin smoothing

-Vignette

etc etc

Before and after, With and without Photoshop

Hope ya enjoyed

“corrida” or “bull fighting” must be one of the most brutal and senseless form of animal torture.

No need to ask me my view point on this tradition, I think it’s dispecable and if you don’t think likewise, you may need to get your heart checked out.

In the meantime, and in the middle of my anti corrida rant, i’d like you to check out this picture that needs no Photoshop nor comments… These faces say it all!!

oh huh...

Some thirty 4 years ago Drab and Basia Knyszewski got a little chubby stinker, they affectionatly called the baby Zaba…
