I'm working on a "Burning Love" type theme, and this is the best I can come up with... and I'm not happy with it. Anything you guys can think of to make it more interesting?

LOL, actually it was my own mother who was lighting me up! There really is little danger for burns. I'm just using rubbing alcohol, which will only burn for 4-5 seconds max and seems to be quite a cool burn. The flames usually go out before I even get the camera lined up. Now, if I were using some k...

I just have to say that Empire has ruined my life... and now I'm going to have to limit myself to just 1 hour a day of Empire or I'll never get anything else done! It's still a little buggy and they're still releasing panic patches to fix the usual memory leaks and CTDs, and it's still way too easy ...

I tried the demo, and at first I thought it was just another physics game but the very last level of chapter one almost had me buying the game right then... too bad I can't really afford to spend even $5 atm. :(

Re: Empire: Total War

I picked up Dawn of War: Soulstorm a couple weeks ago for $7.50 and love it. I tried the demo for one of those War Hammer games and I really couldn't get into it at all. I think it's mostly because Supreme Commander has me spoiled on camera controls. i.e. I kept trying to zoom out more and felt tha...

Empire: Total War

Having played ALL the previous Total War games (Shogun, Medieval, Rome, and Medieval 2), I was very excited about Empire. Empire is set mainly in the 18th century (1700-1820) and given previous experience with gunpowder units in Total War games, I wasn't quite sure what to expect from Empire. The ta...

I can't really comment on portraiture, but I like the one w/ the hat the most... though I'm really distracted by the fuzzies all over the hat. (Things like that drive me so crazy that there are times when I was going to photograph something but I spent all of my available time trying to clean it up....

Thanks Hat & Porsche! Yeah, about $20 in electronic components & a circuit diagram found on the internet makes it so easy to shoot drops that you actually have some artistic freedom vs. putting all your effort into actually catching a splash. ;) re. the 1st one, I actually bumped the saturat...

Yep, I guess I could have deleted it... but I figured out that the phototransistor was fried & replaced it w/ a new one & like magic it worked!
