The woman just sort of wandered into my shot, struck a couple poses (with her back to me) and then wandered off. Don't think she knew I was there... I seem to have that effect on a lot of women. ;)

Frank Miller co-directed the movie, so it's not surprising that it was faithful to the books.

I guess they could be anything you like. They kind of make me think of mines or a ball that something spooky in a Stephan King novel would throw at you. Still, the entire picture appealed to me. The colors and the presentation :shrug: Just liked it but I really have no idea. I will go look and see if I can find out anything about them.

On Edit I looked for it and can't find where I found it. I think it might have been on the New Tek site but I can't locate it again. Who knows. I guess they will have to be little aliens. :hi:

The reason I ask is because years ago, I had a neighbor and friend whose favorite line was Louis Armstrong's trademark "yowzayowzayowza".
The last thing I'd heard, he moved to Georgia, and I lost touch with him completely.

Edited on Mon Aug-01-05 01:08 PM by NYCGirl
well they turned out (although I have a few shots that were really "blown out"). If you click on the pics, you can get them at larger (or smaller) sizes and you can click on "more properties" to the right of the screen to get shutter speed, lens info, etc.

Edited to add: Thank you. I've just started to take photos sort of seriously (despite being a film major in college many years ago).

107. Mount Tungurahua, Ecuador
The town in the foreground is Ban~os. It had to be evacuated in 1999 and was almost evacuated again in 2003. Here is another nice shot.

88. LOTR from Houston's Museum of Natural Science....
This is the official show from the movies--props, weapons, costumes, etc. Until the end of the month...

113. It's quite impressive.
So many items had beautiful details that didn't show up on the screen--but they helped the actors believe. Remember the dusty piles of manuscripts in the Gondor library? They were there--handmade paper with writing in various languages of Middle Earth.

Many grim weapons appeared, but the dresses for the ladies were just like the Fairy Princess dresses I used to draw for paper dolls. Arwen's riding costume is made of gray suede! (The whole exhibit is a triumph for those who didn't stop making art when they "grew up.")

Also featured--large pencil drawings by Alan Lee & John Howe--who got to see their ideas made "real."

And now I know what an Orc Fork looks like!

99. Is this in the UK?
I'm just guessing from the double-decker buses and a rather interesting array of architecture...

106. Say, that's pretty Zen
Focusing on the midpoint between charcoal and white gives an interesting effect...
