Topic - An effort to "imply" detail
Author - @fumansiu

Okay, so I've taken enough of a break from my building-phobia that I decided I would put a full effort into getting this to feel right. I talked a lot about perspective a few posts ago and this one is chock full of it! Without going into too much detail about it, this image consists mostly of a 2 point perspective for the main building in the middle, with 1 point at the bottom of the archway and the other far off the screen to the right.
In my approach to this I had an image from the Studio Ghibli movie Kiki's Delivery Service. There are lots of buildings in that movie with similar looks to this piece and I wanted to have a nice varied texture to simulate the details of different stone, wood and metal parts. I made a concerted effort throughout the painting to make sure not to bring anything up in detail too much more than anything else in the image. After deciding that the gold clock would be my focal point I gave that a bit more finesse and that really helped pull the other parts together.
As per usual, I've taken the image a step further and made a new story around it for my hero characters. In this piece I wanted to follow along my team as if they had a map to a certain shop where they were to meet someone critical to their quest.
I think that this painting gave me a very good lesson whether I knew it while painting it or not. Focal points! I could not believe my eyes when I realized that by being intentionally "loose" I was able to imply so much more detail in the painting than I really painted. That clock does so much work to pull the eye towards it that the rest of the piece just looks finished even though I left a lot to the imagination.
This is a lot to digest for me because in a lot of ways I think I had a beginner's luck moment with this. I'll have to pay attention in how much attention I'm paying in the future. The painting learning curve is endless, haha!
Did you know that our eyes constantly rapidly refocus on points but the vast majority of what we see is blurred? Painting with this in mind may be a game changer for you! Read More
Topic - General Mood of our time is that of despite

The general mood of our time is that of despair, uncertainty about tomorrow, disillusionment about the present, general complaint about inflation, a general mood of dissatisfaction with Federal Government that has become strict in the amount of funds it releases to different institutions or agency to cater for the need of their peoples.
A constant fear and unhappiness at the face of citizens, when there is a daylight armed robbery, everyone has to run for his or her life. But coupled with all these, is the certain security on our roads where, almost every week, lives are lost as if those are no longer needed by this nation. This nation still needs every life, however insignificant, which is lost on our roads through accidents because of bad road, at this unpalatable situations which will found ourselves, who can we say are responsible for all these mayhem brought upon citizens?
The Daily Times reported that twelve persons were killed in two separate accidents which occurred as a result of bad roads another one was reported second day to have occurred when some civil servants had an accident on their way back home, such tragedy is very sadden. But such accidents where lives are lost on the street happen often. Do these not try mens souls?
These are problems and crises that is affect us as individual and as a corporate body of society. But where are the answers for all these crises?
Can we find the answer in our human solutions? Can researcher bring out lasting solution? Can the answer to our personal and national crises be resolve or be found in our withdraw into loneness and away from the crowd?
Can the answer to all our despair and disillusionment be found in a fatalistic submission which says, Let whatever will happen, happen? Does the answer lie in the promises and counter-promises of some recognized and unrecognized political aspirates in our era who will promised us a utopia for our nation and failed to keep to their words or promised? Well, from my own perspective solution lie in everyone, the parents, the guidances, and others to find a lasting solution to our problem and pray to God to heal our land. It our collective efforts to work together, if we would have a safe and sound society, it all depend on parents, the guidance and everyone in ensuring norms, culture and well behave manner, moral and character which our society demanded must be met or must be teach our leader of tomorrow (Children) in our society. Its a saying that We can cut branches of the three to correct it straightness, in as much is within our reach, but as long as its grow up, we have no power to correct it anymore.
Political Leaders or those in post of authority, who was to be dependable, thoughtful of other people, unselfish in providing for the needs and make life livable for their citizens or people, failing their responsibility as one who was elected or supported or to represent interest of his people, but since their goals is archived, what they offers to their people are; sorrow, bereavement and despair. Let everyone check his or her life, am I representing my people well?
Those who you suppose to weep their tears are you still added to their burden and make them cry more? Power and Position last not forever. If you fail your responsibility as Leader, harvest time is coming.
It is my expectation that readers of these post would find it great blessings in reading them and would also make use or apply them to their practical everyday living. Read More
Topic - Photos from the 32Mpx sensor Vivo camera | FlowerPhotography
Author - @xoxois

It is precisely from my point of view that it makes me amazed by the world of photography, and I also choose this field as a hobby that I am most proud of. I'll probably be looking for beautiful objects for me to shoot using my camera, and I'll share them here.
Today I have an activity that makes me more excited about it. I start this activity from the morning, when I wake up from my sleep and think about what I should do for the day. I looked confused for a moment, then I rushed to take a shower so that my body became fresher. I also had time to go to a coffee shop to look for snacks that I could eat, and of course accompanied by a cup of hot coffee, that's my habit before starting the activity. But that's not what I want to discuss here, I want to tell you a little about the photos I took while walking in a park near where I live.
I did this activity after I finished sitting from the coffee shop, while walking I also enjoyed the view in front of me. However, I didn't find an object that I could shoot using my camera, so I continued this activity while looking for objects that might look beautiful and different from what I found before.
When I arrived at a garden filled with thick grass and a little trash there, I saw a small flower that was bright white in color. But at first I wasn't interested in the little flower, because the camera I was using didn't seem to be able to photograph it clearly. Small objects like this in my opinion are only for cameras that use macro tools that can take pictures, and the results are more perfect than manual cameras.
At that time I started to think, why don't I try it first? then I decided to try shooting it using a manual camera at a very close distance, because the Vivo Sensor 32Mpx camera has a mode that is almost similar to the macro mode, but the results are not so perfect. Read More
