Green Screen Photography is gaining more and more in renown, particularly among small photography terraces that wish to bring something new and leading edge to their business - something that the enormous corporate photography residences do not even trouble with. Green screening, often referred to as chroma keying, is often the perfect edge that a small studio can use to blow the competition out of the water. But to go a step further, concentrating on the fantasy photography niche with a good green screen program can also separate you from the massive photography crowd.
To begin with, there is the fantasy niche known as'sword and sorcery'. Some examples include the role playing game'Dungeons And Dragons' and stories such as the'Lord Of The Rings'. To take these kinds of pictures, shoot the customer in full garb ( patois for period costume ) in front of the green screen, holding the weapon of their choice,eg a sabre, bow and arrow, or wand. Then, use digital backgrounds such as stunning nature scenes and old architecture ( particularly castles ) Then get your green screen program out and work your magic from there. Tip : If the customer wants to have that soft paranormal look, take a bit of nylon and strap it to your camera lens with an elastic tie. Instant softness and puzzle added.
Another well-liked fantasy niche is that of sci-fi. The more apparent of this genre would be'Star Trek','Star Wars' and'Babylon Five'. However [*COMMA] this category also includes'Dr. Who' ( a time and inter-dimensional show ) and steam punk ( Victorian time running today's technology with steam ). Within of this niche there are thousands of cos-players ( those that enjoy putting on a costume whenever they can ) who adore having their picture taken. Some ideas for amazing pictures would be : For space travel - like Star Trek - assume the observation deck ( a large window with a star field behind it ) or Ten-Forward cantina ( shoot a modern bar for the background ). For steam punk, choose interiors of old Victorian houses.
A niche that is regularly mixed in with these two previous ones, yet also deserves it's own class, is that of fairy tales. These are the footage of fairy people and other delicate creatures. For these use mystical landscapes that give a feeling of mystery with just a hint of mischief in store. However [*COMMA] don't think that fairy tales are only for small children, nor just for cos-players. Another group of people who love these types of pictures are female high school seniors. Consider shooting their portrait with them in their promenade dress, but then placing them in this mystical land. This guarantees you provide them with instant sorcery and joyful memories.
Eventually, the last niche which can fit inside of all of these, yet is also all by itself, is that known as Anime and video game cos-play. For these kinds of photos, look into plenty of Asian inspired locations ( both interior and exterior ) as well as decrepid locations such as an old warehouse or the remains of an ancient civilization.
Overall the thing to remember when shooting a fantasy photo is that irrespective of how strange or outlandish the costume might be and no matter where in the world these characters should be, as long as you can make the picture look believable to the customer, you'll have repeat business for years to come. It is very easy to make your pictures look plausible with a green screen program.

What Makes The Best Online Games Popular?
Three of the most popular online games out there, Chuzzle, Jewel Quest and Fairies, may appear to be quite different, but in reality, share a very similar game architecture and strategy component. What's different? They all have a unique theme and visual appearance. With Chuzzle, it's the cute little fuzzy characters. With Jewel Quest, it's all about turning sand into gold, and with Fairies, its rescuing the whimsical and hunted fairy ladies. All appealing, and all extremely addictive!
So what are these games really all about?
Chuzzle
This relatively new and extremely fun puzzle game features rows of fuzzy "Chuzzles" that you must drag up and down, and left and right, to match a variety of colors. Once you do, the Chuzzles will pop in dramatic fashion and return to their little test-tube home. Choose from four play modes: Zen mode, Speed mode, Classic Chuzzle and Mind Bendex mode. It also features two difficulty levels.
If you're good, and make a high level of Chuzzle color matches, you get to go on to the next level where the game gets tougher, the Chuzzle locks come more frequently. But there's an upside - the bonuses get higher.
So what's the verdict on Chuzzle? It's a super fun game with non-stop action and lots of exciting pops! If you haven't tried it, give it a whirl!
Jewel Quest
Like Chuzzle, the object of Jewel Quest from iWin is to score as many points as possible by matching items and turning sand to gold. However, with this game, there are six different items that need to be lined up horizontally or vertically in groups of 3 or more. Once you do, you have a match! What happens then? The matched items are removed and new items will fall into the empty spaces from the top of the board.
A few key points to keep in mind with Jewel Quest:
- Making moves in rapid succession will give you a higher score.
- Matching both items that you swap and in multiple directions can result in the best chain reactions.
- Matching items towards the bottom of the board gives more opportunity for chain reactions.
- The most difficult spaces to turn into gold are the four corner spaces.
Your Jewel Quest journal will help give you the wisdom of the ancient scripts and assist you in discovering the fabled Tonatiuh - The Temple of the Fifth Sun. And it will also give you hours and hours of fun!
Fairies
Have you ever been to a Renaissance Fair? Well then, perhaps you will enjoy Fairies. This appealing online game takes you to a place of fabled legends and magical reality. You become the almighty and powerful wizard, given the rare chance to rescue the troubled group of fairies who have been captured by an evil force.
Again, like Chuzzle and Jewel Quest, you'll see the similarities. But, with its whimsical, other-world feel, it's more different than alike. With Fairies, you are seemingly transported to this other world and asked to be the hero. The question is, will you save the troubled fairies? And how many will you save? If you complete the hundred individual levels, you'll be sure to restore balance to their world and have a ton of fun in the process!
So, what specifically do these great games have in common?
They are all classic match-style games. Simply put, your job is to find the commonality between the individual pieces, and put them together. Why is this basic premise so mentally stimulating? Because our brains are conditioned this way in the first place. It's one of the key qualities our mental faculties possess to help us make sense of the world. Grouping things together into their rightful places is an important skill to use - and get good at. Think about it: when you're putting groceries away, what are you doing? When you plan your Saturday schedule with the kids, what are you doing? When you're deciding what to wear in the morning, how are you going about it? That's right - you are putting things together in logical places, in logical order or the way you think things will compliment other things.
The popularity of these games continues. Other games like Super Collapse III have similar game play, and with the third edition to the Super Collapse series coming out, these games continue to earn the interest and dedication of game playing fans.
Why are Chuzzle, Jewel Quest and Fairies so fun?
Charming graphics, simple strategy, catchy music and they relax and stimulate your mind at the same time. A great escape!

Various types of collectible bogie figurines and their amount to collectors
A very popular collector's item among figurine enthusiasts is the fairy figure. Many people enjoy fairies collectibles and even purchase fairy and fantasy statues designed by specific artists. Fairies are a trend that has no end in sight.
The most widely known fairy figure sculptor is Jasmine Becket-Griffith. Jasmine has created hundreds of fairy figurines over the past few years, and several of the fairies figurines made by her are part of limited collections that sell out quickly. The overall theme of her work is always fairies or mythical creatures – even with the work she has done for Disney.
The beauty and detail of fairy figurines are astounding, especially those of Jasmine Becket-Griffith. The intricate details make the statues come alive so that you forget that fairies are simply mythical creatures. Fairies collectibles get fantasy collectors lost in a world of magic and far-off possibilities, which is probably why they appeal to so many people. Also, fairies are just plain fun to collect.
Fairies collectibles hold a lot of intrinsic value among their fans. Like with any collectible item, fairy statues must stay in mint condition to remain valuable. Most collectors keep their fairy collectibles in a sealed case or on a protected shelf for proper display and to keep dust, moisture, and other irritants off the collectibles. With the current popularity of fairies, these little statues may hold extensive value in the future, so proper care is very important.
There are many online destinations to shop for fairy collectibles at your leisure. Fairy items make great gifts for all sorts of special occasions, or even for no reason at all. Most fantasy collectors of mythical creatures such as fairies, dragons, and so on shop for their collectibles online because the prices and selection are so much better than they can find locally.
If there is a fairy or dragon collector in your life who loves fantasy statues and other fantasy collector memorabilia, remember that the selection of colors, scenes, types, and designs is almost endless online. You are bound to find what you are looking for at a price that is affordable.

ABSINTHE - how to drink it
my friend showing me the proper way to prepare a drink of absinthe that i bought from the caribbean (a dutch island, called st. maarten). they sell the real deal down there (wormwood infused barrels like the original method, instead of the wormwood concentrate added later like the modern method) & luckily america legalized absinthe by then, so i could bring it into the borders back home.

Just a Green Fairy-Tale
Bohèmian or just a broken musicstar, the myths about the unbelievable power of the green fairy is well known around creative artists. But is there always a fairy to find in the green wilderness of an absinthe ritual?

The Green Devil
In the lurid style of "Reefer Madness", this short little film gives a (very tongue in cheek)look at the "green menace" of Absinthe (which happens to be my favorite alcoholic beverage). :) Filmed in the New Babbage sim in Second Life, which is one of my very favorite sims, this short tale almost wrote itself as a result of a short walk through it's seedier environs. :)
