My day in pictures. :)

Before work-

So I was using my 200 lens on these and notice it was dragging a little on the auto focus. I took a few shoots in the office to try and get it to loosen up a little- my office, dusty as it is.

Fan was running when I took this... got to love my D40. :D

Might want to let RedQueen come over and clean your office, but don't let her near the vacuum cleaner. (see her journal) Awesome pics as always!

Not the best day to take pictures- cloudy with rain off and on- I went to the oldest building in town. This private collage opened in 1897 and closed the doors in 1997. Today it is used very little; there is a public library there. Own by United Methodist Church it is still being kept up, but the six buildings are slowly falling apart.

Here is my attempt at recording a little of its history. On a personal note- really need to put the tripod in my trunk. Say it with me… tripod is my friend…tripod is my friend.

I have so many memories from this place. Good memories. Thanks for the stroll down that lane. How did you get into some of these rooms??

Vampirewitch39
02:04 Sep 29 2010

I ...uh... I open a door? Got caught in one building, but they was cool. I lied that I had just gotten there.

(shifty eyes)

Better start saving bail money...

That looks like an amazing place to go. I like your attention to detail. You spot things like the light without a bulb.

You've depicted texture so well here, I love that. It feels like if you were in front of the prints, you could run your hands over them and feel the ridges.

I love the views you've caught but I hate seeing these beautiful buildings being allowed to fall apart.

RedQueen
04:37 Sep 29 2010

Lord, I miss the south. Buildings like this are few and far between up here where I am. And I agree- it's a shame they are letting the building go, but it did make for some gorgeous pictures....You got the eye sugar...great work.

BluSpirit
08:47 Sep 29 2010

Very beautiful pictures - almost felt as if I was there! Wonderful angles, and I especially liked how the overgrowth on the outside of the building(s) was just as much of a focus as everything else.

Thanks guys. :) If I ever get the F spot understood... poor Birra gets to answer all my stupid questions. lol He has the same camera I do.

And Otter... bless her soul. She is always read to help me try to understand how to take a good picture.

Thanks guys. :) The eyes are off a little as I am trying to learn how to photoshop them in. I also colored outside the lines as a kid. lol

The lips I am not happy with but the rest... not bad at all. If only I had someplace to wear the look this Halloween. :)

Yanno, if I had your Talent, I'd start a side Venture doing make-up for weddings, holidays, and the likes.

Some of the top artists here in L.A. were self-taught.

I have two people on Youtube that I follow extensively that give great make-up and skin tutorials....thought you'd like them maybe?...I've learned so much...

Thanks KattrinaK :) I already watch them, and many many more on youtube. Great place to 'see' it in action.

Thank you for the links tho.

except for a few people on here you may discover you're starving to death, Ob 's says his bald little head is like a empty bowl with one peanut in it.

Vampirewitch39
01:42 Sep 26 2010

Lady that would so be my clue to go over to him, stand behind him and rub that bald head, moaning I want a brain! Or do the brain sucking sound. LOL

BubbleGumClaudia
03:24 Sep 26 2010

WOW WOW WOW!!! I need to have you do my make up

BluSpirit
06:58 Sep 26 2010

Very well done! Read the comments as well. Suggestion for the lips (I assisted in a zombie flick years back) is mix a deep purple with the red. You don't want it to be super obvious, but you want to bring out some blue tones to make the lips seem bloodless - a bit of dark purple or maybe even grey powder mixed with lipstick should do the trick.

Again, fantastic job!

Woke up early this morning. Well...early for the weekend. ;) Went up to the World Chicken Fest to take a few pictures of the rides. Kind of creepy in a way.

Little fish in a blacktop caged tank...

Super Mouse has got some teeth on him. Or more like a tooth on him. ;)

Ya all come back now.

lol- it was fun. :) Now to try the zombie look I been wanting to try. Might not turn out right as it will be the first time I will use special effects type makeup.

Some of those rides may have alarmed me as a child. Glad you had fun, though!

Requiem

You're right, they do look kind of creepy.

I notice, dear Rat, there is a distinct lack of funnel-cakiness in this entry. =/

Makeup look- Peacock mask. The pictures never did work out, and it was too much blue, not enough purple I think. One I will have to revist some day. :)

Clouds where so different yesterday, shapes and shades of the sunset. While all sunsets are great, ones with these kinds of clouds are stunning to me. Like artwork.

I am also trying to learn the reflection off water to get a good picture this Fall of the leaves on the lake, ponds. :)

Took having the police called on me but here they are- Sunset.

I love green eye shadow but think it looks so much better on brown eyes rather than my blue.

RedQueen
07:10 Sep 13 2010

Is that the same green you put on me???

Vampirewitch39
18:13 Sep 13 2010

Could be puppy- I have lots of green. I know one shade (there is four there) is one I used on Cat.

Blue eyes? You should try some brown, gray, purple shades. Black would make them pop also. Stay away from blue as it will just wash your eye color out. :)

michen
20:17 Sep 13 2010

I like the way that green fades.. and these razor sharp eyelashes hovering up above. It's amazing!

Vampirewitch39

Make Up Look: Spider Web. This comes from a youtube video by a member name goldiestarling. She has some wicked Halloween videos, this from a year or so back. If you want to see how this is done- I used the steps she did for the most part.

My 5 year old is standing behing me going "Ohhhhhh look how pretty - mama can I do my face like that for Halloween???"

Very very cool.

Vampirewitch39
15:53 Sep 12 2010

Ahhh that is cute. :) It only takes white eyeliner, white eyeshadow, and black liner and eyeshadow. And a good steady hand, which I don't have. lol

The lashes I got last year after Halloween when they was half price. Think like 2.00 dollars. Right now most drug stores have funky eyelashed in for the Halloween season. I got three or four pairs Friday night. They do mark them down after Halloween tho and I wait for the wilder ones then, just not willing to pay full price for yellow and black lashes...but I will pay a buck or two.

chrysanthemia
20:36 Sep 12 2010

Those lashes are definitely badass.

I can never manage to get faux eyelashes on right, no matter what tips and tricks I follow. You certainly have talent.

You are always suprising us with your artistic talent. :-)

Morrigon
00:13 Sep 13 2010

That works great on your cheekbones. I like the way you shaded and highlighted it.

Vampirewitch39
02:25 Sep 13 2010

The lady who video I used to do this look is an artist with a makeup brush, as well as a paint brush. She is really good to show you how to shadow, highlight as she does with her paintings.

:)

You should see the full mask she does with makeup... the woman has skill, talent.

Makeup look: Carol Burnett Show’s Norma Desmond is the inspiration of this look.

The crowd for the show:

* Note the one on the right is going to be trouble... leg kicks and all.

I am ready for my close up!

Is that someone at the door Max?

“You’re Norma Desmond. You used to be in silent pictures. You used to be big.”

You do realize that only us "old fogies" are going to know who Carol Burnett is and who Desemond is. I loved that show and you are so talented. I can't wait to be in your makeup chair.

chrysanthemia
16:39 Sep 17 2010

If Carol Burnett is the lady with the neat voice in the Alice in Wonderland starring Red Buttons as well, then I sort of know who she is.

Sort of.
